Their considerable rhetorical expertise becomes evident when looking carefully at their work in terms of identity, agency, authority, and expressiveness. Their writings constitute a substantial artifactual record of their levels of engagement, their excellence in sociopolitical work, and the legacies of leadership and action. The writing of African American women during the nineteenth century reflects their own perceptions of the ways and means of their lives. They deserve to be recognized as consequential contributors to the narratives of the nation, rather than marginalized as a group. To that end, Jacqueline Jones Royster offers a deeper understanding, often through their own words, of these women, their practices, and their achievements.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ERoyster, professor emerita and former dean of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, will discuss the subject of her new book: \u003Cem\u003EMaking the World a Better Place: African American Women Advocates, Activists, and Leaders, 1773-1900\u003C\/em\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Royster, professor emerita and former dean of the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, will discuss the subject of her new book: \u0022Making the World a Better Place: African American Women Advocates, Activists, and Leaders, 1773-1900.\u0022 "}],"uid":"27299","created_gmt":"2023-08-30 18:22:42","changed_gmt":"2023-09-08 13:53:37","author":"Michael Hagearty","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-09-25T15:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2023-09-25T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-09-25T16:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-09-25 19:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-09-25 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-09-25 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Scholars Event Network, Georgia Tech Library","extras":[],"hg_media":{"671547":{"id":"671547","type":"image","title":"Jacqueline Jones Royster","body":null,"created":"1693420806","gmt_created":"2023-08-30 18:40:06","changed":"1693420909","gmt_changed":"2023-08-30 18:41:49","alt":"image of Jacqueline Jones Royster","file":{"fid":"254629","name":"Royster2022.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/08\/30\/Royster2022.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/2023\/08\/30\/Royster2022.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":801603,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/2023\/08\/30\/Royster2022.jpg?itok=JBbu4YZQ"}}},"media_ids":["671547"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/president.gatech.edu\/publications-speeches\/conversations","title":"Conversations with Cabrera"}],"groups":[{"id":"47240","name":"Georgia Tech Library"},{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"181056","name":"School of Literature  Media and Communication"},{"id":"3824","name":"event"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
