Seminar: Renaming Southern US Army Bases, Part III: World War II Base Names in Context   

In this last of three consecutive one-time lectures, Dr. Dahlstrand explores the social and cultural forces driving America toward the civil rights movement. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies in the South and widespread race riots created a tumultuous atmosphere during the interwar period. This lecture delves into the process of naming army bases during World War II, with a focus on Virginia's Camp Pickett and Camp A.P. Hill, Louisiana's Camp Polk, Texas's Fort Hood, and Alabama's Fort Rucker. The discussion highlights how these names reflect the era's social dynamics and evolving attitudes toward race and civil rights. Dr. Dahlstrand will be lecturing via ZOOM. This program is being presented as a seminar with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
