I\u2019m beginning the process of writing my first chapter in earnest, and these early steps have been very helpful for identifying the gaps in my research. I\u2019m particularly excited about what this week\u2019s research has turned up on Georgia Swift King<\/a>, though \u2013 I\u2019ve built out a timeline for her involvement in progressive causes, especially the WCTU, and I\u2019m confident that she\u2019ll be the character anchor of my chapter. From this biographical focus, I\u2019ll use her narrative as a way to talk about black female involvement in temperance more generally \u2013 both in connection to white temperance movements and broader black racial uplift rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Other research updates:
\n\u2022 I\u2019m finalizing the budget and itinerary for the Atlanta trip \u2013 photocopying costs at Woodruff and flat researcher fees at ABHS \u2013 as well as costs for Amistad papers \u2013 make me think that maybe I should only go for four days – although I also hope to make it to the First Congregational Church and see their archival materials (but that could possibly take up only part of the day.
\n\u2022 Re: the Amistad papers, I\u2019ve been in contact with a graduate student at the University of New Orleans who is going to make a preliminary research trip to the Amistad Center for me by November 4th \u2013 we\u2019ve worked out an arrangement that needs to be accounted for in the budget as well.
\n\u2022 I\u2019ve also been in touch with the Frances Willard House Archives, who had some suggestions for both primary and secondary source literature. I\u2019ve followed up asking for papers more specific to King.<\/p>\n

Action Items:
\n– Write, write, write! I just need to get it out on paper so I can identify further research and then work on editing later.
\n– Purchase tickets, book hotels, schedule appointments at archives for Atlanta trip
\n– Clean up the website and make it presentation ready!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
