In the late 1920s radio manufacturers attempted to design speakers that would blend in with the home decorating scheme. They were sold as table models, pedestal, lamp stand or wall mounted types and incorporated designs of ships, airplanes, castes, cathedrals, dancing girls, and other artistic themes and geometric shapes.

Part I: The Reconstruction of American Society, 1865-1920s Lecture 01
Reconstructing the Nation

America has been split apart by three major wars: in the 1770's the American Revolution; in the 1970's the Vietnam War; and, in the middle of this period, the Civil War. Each war has dramatically changed the generation engaged in battles as well as the generations that followed. Lecture #01 will examine the repercussions of the Civil War, its effects on the American people, and the agreements and disagreements within the nation over the meanings of "Reconstruction."
See Calendar for course outline and lecture topics

Lecture 02

The "New South"
By the late 1860s, some Southerners were already calling for a more diversified economy cotton was no longer "king." Increasingly there was a move from farm to factory, and many people encouraged industrialization in the South and an increased capital investment in the Southern economy from outside sources. This lecture explores the economic transformation and the racial politics of the "New" South after the Civil War.

By Bob Frost
San Jose Mercury News - November 9, 2003 Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, George Washington's Mount Vernon, San Francisco's City Hall these are among the scores of magnificent old structures in the United States that are easy to love and preserve as monuments to our history. But what about three scruffy old buildings in Stockton the Mariposa Hotel, Emerald Restaurant and Rizal Social Club? These three structures, located in a poor multiethnic neighborhood, are all that remains of Stockton's ``Little Manila'' community, which was founded in the early 1900s and provided a gateway into America for thousands of Filipinos, many of whom worked in the fertile fields not far away. In what became the largest Filipino community outside the Philippines, the immigrants created a vibrant district of restaurants, dance halls and street life and named it after the most important city of their homeland. Now, two people of Filipino heritage are fighting over the fate of Little Manila's last buildings. One, Dawn Mabalon, is a Stockton native and Stanford doctoral student in history who believes the structures should be restored as a museum, and as a way to help save a culture. The other, Manuel Fernandez, is an architect and developer based in Oakland who wants to tear down the buildings and build a shopping mall with an Asian theme, a magnet that could help a troubled neighborhood.

Jim Crow First Hand Narratives
People who lived through the Jim Crow years offer keen and very personal perspective on how Jim Crow shaped, and still shapes, their lives. These narratives are drawn from a sampling of men and women from all over the nation and from all walks of life. Their stories provide insight into the complexity of the Jim Crow experience, its brutal and personal reality, and the meaning of the words "enduring Jim Crow." No two stories are alike, but all depict an aspect of human experience during this shameful period of historya period that affected us all, regardless of race, gender, or economic status.
