This source is from the “Sting” article. This is Phyllis Schlatly and she said, "It is a great myth of the women's movement to think that women were not included in the constitution from the beginning.” Which i think is intriguing to hear from a women since they did not get rights until 1920 but I won't say that I am completely shocked because she is a white women and they did have more rights than any other women of color but she constantly made odd assumptions of women like the reading we read where she was stating how every woman needs to be happy because their main achievement in life is being a mother. I just find it interesting how she can say that women were included in the constitution yet we are still fighting for our rights for our own body.

This source is from the “Sting” article.This moment reflects a key part of the feminist movement, with Sarah Weddington debating Phyllis Schlafly about women’s rights and their place in the Constitution. Weddington’s comment, “We stand taller because we stand on the shoulders of each other,” highlights how progress builds on the work of those before us. The debate raised an important question, how can women fully claim their rights if they’re not explicitly included in the Constitution? It’s a reminder of the struggles and conversations that have shaped the fight for gender equality.

This is from the article “Sting”. They brought Gladys Buchanan to Kennesaw State to bring awareness. In the early 1900s, women began stepping into leadership roles, especially during and after World War I, when they took on responsibilities previously reserved for men. This shift paved the way for activists like Gladys Buchanan, who later spoke out about the suffering in Nicaragua and Central America. Her efforts to raise awareness and inspire action in places like Cobb County reflect the same spirit of advocacy that women in the early 20th century brought to social justice and equality, using their voices to push for change in times of crisis.

The source is from “International Notes” shows how KSU students were actively involved in global human rights issues. By participating in Amnesty International’s campaign, they worked to raise awareness about the inhumane treatment of prisoners in Iran, including practices like stoning, crucifixion, and flogging. Their efforts such as writing letters, educating the community, and pushing for change reflect how students at KSU have historically stepped up to address important social justice issues. It highlights the university’s tradition of fostering activism and a commitment to making a difference. Amnesty missions have not been allowed into Iran since 1979 but they still used their voices for something positive.

This is from The Sentinel Vol. 4, No. 6. This letter was written by Jim Baikie. Heis using his voice to speak up about “Who made Mike Mauldin the spokesperson for Georgia?” Mauldin was correct in saying the Confederate flag symbolizes a way of life, but that “way of life” included slavery and widespread poverty for many Southerners. They stated how Thankfully, people like Ralph McGill and Ivan Allen Jr. exist who are figures who represent progress and change. Without them, Georgia might still be seen as a backward state, stuck in the past like some of its neighbors. Mauldin is wrong about the South having only two kinds of people. There are those who want to move Georgia forward, like Allen, and those who cling to the outdated sentimentality of the Confederacy, like Mauldin. They wrote this letter to speak up about The Old South is gone and how it’s time to create a new identity and spirit for the New South. This could relate to our class because if no one believed in change we would still be in the place we were in before. Whether it was the feminist movement or the civil rights movement.

This is from The Sentinel, Vol. 4, No. 6. I found this image particularly intriguing because, while it promotes and encourages participation in a new sport, it simultaneously sells the uniform in only a small size. This seems to reflect the broader expectations placed on women in the early 1900s, where beauty standards often prioritized extreme thinness and specific body proportions. For instance, women were expected to have impossibly small waists often around 12 inches and small wrists and ankles to conform to the idealized image of “femininity”. The uniform’s limited sizing highlights how even progressive movements, like encouraging women to take up sports, were still tied to restrictive notions of appearance. It’s a striking example of how deeply ingrained these expectations were and how they influenced nearly every aspect of women’s lives, from fashion to physical activity.

Lara Croft’s evolution in Tomb Raider reflects a shift in how women are portrayed in media, especially in gaming. Early versions of Lara, with her exaggerated body proportions and revealing outfits, were typical of how female characters were often reduced to eye candy, rather than being fully developed characters. The 2013 reboot, however, reimagined Lara as a more natural, realistic figure, focusing on her strength and resilience instead of just her looks. This change was a step toward more empowering and authentic representations of women, showing how feminism has pushed for better portrayals of women in media—characters who are valued for their abilities, not just their appearance.

This is from the article “Stinger”. They are using their voice to speak up about how much words can affect you. Words can cause immense harm. Every year, verbal bullying leads around 1,300 people to take their own lives, with countless others left traumatized and oppressed by harsh words. Students, faculty, and staff are joining together to raise awareness about the impact of everyday words that might seem harmless but can actually cause harm. They're using their voices to show that we all have a responsibility to speak out against verbal bullying. This can link to our class because if no one spoke up about anything that they saw was wrong whether it was someone having a slave or not letting women leave the house because of their husband who is abusing them especially during the baby bloom period, we would not be acting as a community, we would be bystanders.

Kennesaw used their voice to speak up about Blackface's long and painful history in the United States, dating back to minstrel shows in the 1800s that were designed to mock people of African descent. Even if someone participating in blackface doesn't intend to offend, it will still be harmful and offensive to many. Some might argue, "How can you accurately portray an African American character without darkening your skin?" and YES, you can still portray the character without changing your skin color. If someone says, "That's not accurate," remember that people often dress as characters of different races without feeling the need to alter their appearance to match but it's important to do so with respect for the culture and people you’re representing.

Kennesaw used their voice to highlight the sense of community and support at Pride events. They are highlighting the businesses and groups backing Pride, creating a space for everyone, regardless of identity. They speak about how pride is about celebrating progress and having fun with friends and family, both LGBTQ+ and allies. However, when businesses raise prices during Pride, it does feel like it goes against the spirit of inclusivity. Pride should be a celebration for all, not about making extra money. They are reflecting a larger idea of fostering spaces that are welcoming and accessible to everyone, similar to the inclusive environment at grief camps.

REFLECTION

I found the experience of searching through the archives very cool. I found out so much information about our school and what took place here. The images that I was finding were shocking to me while others had a warm vibe to them. I liked looking through their yearbook and the pictures of them at their clubs and sports. I could feel a small connection to them seeing the student center and them being involved. This project did help me better understand archives and how to search for them. It was nice to see photos of how history has changed over time. This project and class lead me to explaining to four of my friends what an archive was and how they can be digital so this was cool to learn about and you have given me a new skill, so I thank you for that!
