Before American women could even vote, Jeannette Rankin made history. Born on a Montana ranch, she defied every expectation and became the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress.
Her story reminds us how courage can change a nation. Join author Lorissa Rinehart on the Winning the Earthquake book tour to rediscover Jeannette's fearless legacy and the movement she sparked.
The UGA Special Collections Libraries in conjunction with the Athens Clarke-County Library are pleased to present a discussion of the new book, “Bragging Rites: College Football’s Disputed Titles”, with its author Dr. Keith Gaddie, Al and Dawn Hoffman Chair of the American Ideal and Professor of Political Science at Texas Christian University. Dr. Gaddie will discuss this book and the stories surrounding decades of disputed college football national championships.
