  7. Insert Artifact Picture Here Jane Addams Statue This statue is currently in the Peace Garden at California State University Fresno was originally dedicated to Ghandi on October 2, 1990. However, this life size bronze statue of Addams was dedicated in 2006 to the garden (Fresno State, 2015). She is shown holding an immigrant child, who is holding a globe. This resembles her work in the Hull-House, in which she helped co-found. This statue was created by a Fresno graduate student named Claudia Nolan and the base was created by Roy J. Bell. The sculpture was cast at Arizona Bronze Ateller in Tempe, Ariz and now stands on the black granite base that captures images of Addams’ life (Armbruster, 2006). Armbruster, S. (2006, April 7).

  8. Civil Rights Memorial The Civil Rights Memorial is a beautiful architectural piece by Maya Lin. It currently can be seen in Montgomery, Alabama. It is a black granite circular table with civil rights events listed in chronological order in a clockwise motion around the table and a black granite wall behind the table with the words “until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream” as used by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his “I Have a Dream” speech with water flowing over both. While the table symbolizes the history, the wall refers to the ongoing struggle we still currently face, and the water flowing over them connects them. It was completed and dedicated in November 1989. When Maya was first called by Southern Poverty Law Center, she was shocked there was not a national civil rights memorial yet. She wanted the memorial to show a glimpse of the era and intrigue those who visited to want to know more. Since the civil rights movement was a people’s movement, visitors follow around the table clockwise, reading the cause and effect of the civil rights events that occurred. This motion around the table and seeing how one’s actions can change history emphasized that this was and is still a people’s movement (Moyers, 2015) (Maya Lin: Designer of Memorials, 2003).

  9. Maya Ying Lin Maya Ying Lin was born on October 5,1959 in Athens Ohio. She later went to Yale and got her bachelor’s degree in sculpture and architecture when she graduated in 1981. When she was a senior, her design was chosen in a contest for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Shortly after, she went back to school at Harvard for architecture, but she ended up dropping out to work for an architect in Boston before returning back to Yale to finish her master’s in architecture. Two years later, she was asked to create the Civil Rights Memorial by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1988. Following this, she has constructed many other wonderful works of sculpture, design, architecture, and art eventually using more natural elements. She considers herself an architect, sculptor, artist, and educator. Lin believes a lot of her works concentrate on history and teaching so that we learn history and don’t make the same mistakes as the past (Biography.com Editors, 2016) (Maya Lin: Designer of Memorials, 2003). Biography.com Editors. (2016, November 18). Maya Lin Biography.com (A&E Television Networks, Ed.).

  10. Veterans Memorial Competition Drawing In 1980, Lin’s senior year at Yale as an undergraduate student, she entered this piece into a contest for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It was a unique, simple and abstract design that showed the memorial being carved into the earth using black granite walls located at the northwest corner of the National Mall in Washington D.C.. These walls formed a V-shape and would have all veterans that were reported missing or deceased written up on the walls. The walls reach as tall as 247 feet and have over 58,000 soldiers names written in alphabetical order in the years that they were reported missing or deceased. Being that this was unlike typical war memorials, it led to some controversy of her work. Most memorials typically show heroic figures in action. Her piece was much more abstract and which led to Vietnam Veterans clearly stating their harsh opinion of her idea after her piece won the contest. In response, a statue of three realistic veterans and a 60 foot flag pole was placed near Lin’s work, but far enough that it is still it’s own work. The memorial was opened to the public on November, 11th 1898 on Veterans Day. Eventually, many came to accept the memorial as it was and now more than 10,000 people visit it on the daily. Lin’s memorial received a 25 Year Award from the American Institute of Architects for its lasting power (Biography.com Editors, 2016) (Lin, 1980). Biography.com Editors. (2016, November 18).

  11. Lin’s Storm King Wavefield Following the Civil Rights Memorial, Lin turned to use more natural elements. In fact, she reused the idea of water in her three varying land sculptures all in different locations to resemble ocean waves but in grassy fields. This consists of Ann Arbor’s The Wave Field (1995), Miami’s Flutter (2005), and lastly New York’s Storm King Wavefield (2009). So although Storm King Wavefield was last, it covers over 500 acres and the waves reached as tall as 15 feet to really make you feel like you are in the waves. It is designed to be seen from multiple perspectives, such as an aerial view from the rim of the piece or from the ground and be submerged in the waves (Biography.com Editors 2016) (Cotter, 2010).

  12. Elizabeth Cady Stanton Insert Artifact Picture Here Elizabeth Cady Stanton advocated for women’s rights and suffrage. She lived in the 1800s, when women were unable to vote, to work in the same jobs as men, and attend the majority of universities. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born on November 12, 1815 in Johnstown, New York. As a child, Elizabeth Cady Stanton attended Johnstown Academy with all boys in her math and language classes. This was very rare for the early 1800s for a girl to attend classes with all boys. She attended the Troy Female Seminary in Troy, New York, and graduated in 1832. In 1840, she married the abolitionist Henry Stanton. When Elizabeth and Henry traveled to the Word Anti-Slavery Convention, Elizabeth discovered women delegates were forbidden to enter. At the Convention, Elizabeth protested to participate. This sparked the beginning of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s protests for women’s rights in politics. Stanton lived in New York City with her family from 1862 until she passed away in 1902. Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an inspiration for women by creating a change for women’s rights (Library of Congress, 2017). Library of Congress. (2017). The only girl in school:Women’s rights.

  13. Woman’s Rights Convention: Roll of Honor Insert Artifact Picture Here Elizabeth Cady Stanton led the First Women’s Rights Convention on July 19-20, 1848 in Seneca Falls, New York. She was inspired to lead the Convention from meeting with the abolitionists Lucretia Mott, Mary Ann M’ Clintock, Martha Wright, and Jane Hunt at the home of Jane and Richard Hunt on July 9, 1848. Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton began speaking out for women’s rights beginning at the World Anti-Slavery Convention. The women discussed the discrimination from male delegates when protesting against slavery in abolitionist conventions. As a result, Elizabeth Cady Stanton led the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York with these four women. In Seneca Falls, Stanton spoke out for women’s rights while being a mother of nine children and working in the home. She was a leader for women and spoke out against injustices for women in politics. Stanton helped write the Declaration of Sentiments that was presented at the Seneca Falls convention. Stanton fought for women’s rights to participate in any politics and vote. Stanton brought awareness to the injustices women experienced in politics and in the workplace in the United States (National Park Service, 2015). At the First Women’s Right’s Convention, Stanton protested for the women’s right to vote with the abolitionist, Frederick Douglass (Library of Congress, 2017). Library of Congress. (2017).

  14. Declaration of Sentiments Insert Artifact Picture Here Elizabeth Cady Stanton collaborated to write the Declaration of Sentiments in 1848. This artifact, Declaration of Sentiments, was a petition for women’s right to vote, when attending the First Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. This petition was for equal rights to participate in abolitionist debates, conventions, and have their vote count in debates. Stanton’s protest was that women could be a housewife and have the right to vote. She felt that she could be a mother and participate in politics as a delegate at the same time. Stanton believed that women should not be forced to stay at home. A famous line of the Declaration of Sentiments is “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men and women are created equal. . .”. This artifact demonstrates how Stanton advocated to have equal rights for women to vote (National Park Service, 2015). National Park Service. (29 November 2015). Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Stanton became close friends with Susan B. Anthony in 1851. Susan B. Anthony was an abolitionist and women’s rights activist. Stanton and Anthony published a newspaper called Revolution from 1868-1870. Their newspaper discussed relevant issues for women and reported on the progress for women’s rights. They petitioned for the women’s right to vote and spoke at events across the United States. Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded the National Woman Suffrage Association with Susan B. Anthony in 1869 (Library of Congress, 2017). Library of Congress. (2017). Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.

  16. Insert Artifact Picture Here I am Malala Malala was born on July 12, 1997 in Mingora, Pakistan. She grew up in Swat Valley, which is often called the “Switzerland of Asia.” Girls in Pakistan often do not have the same rights as boys do, especially in education, and in 2007 the Taliban took control over Swat Valley. The Taliban began banning things like playing music and girls going to school. Citizens who defy the Taliban’s orders faced harsh punishments including public execution. In spite of the Taliban, Malala continued to go to school and speaking out against the Taliban as a Women’s Rights, Children’s, and Education Activist. Due to her increased prominence both in Pakistan and around the world, the Taliban targeted Malala. On October 9, 2012 a masked gunman boarded Malala’s school bus and shot her in the head, neck, and shoulders. Malala survived the attack and continued to speak out against the Taliban and how women and children should have equal rights to education. Malala is currently enrolled at the University of Oxford, where she is studying philosophy, economics and politics. Yousafzai, Malala, 1997-author. (2013).
