SUMMARY:Rebels in Corsets: The Embodied Rhetoric of the Women's Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:The story of the women’s suffrage movement is often oversimplified as a peaceful transition in which male politicians willingly extended the right to vote to women. In reality\, it was a 72-year battle that demanded extraordinary persistence\, sacrifice\, and creativity. This lecture explores what it was like to be a woman in the 19th century with little power to shape her own circumstances\, how women in the 1840s came to believe it was time to fight for the ballot\, and the rhetorical strategies they employed to win it. Though these strategies may not seem radical today\, at the time they were dismissed as shocking and even “disgusting.” The struggle for suffrage was as much about changing minds and challenging cultural norms as it was about changing the law\, and it reshaped American democracy in the process. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSusan Trollinger is professor of English at the University of Dayton\, where she teaches courses on writing and rhetoric. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Master’s and PhD in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of Pittsburgh. \n\n\n\nHer first book\, Selling the Amish: The Tourism of Nostalgia (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2012)\, examines Amish Country tourism\, particularly in eastern Ohio\, and its broader cultural implications. Her second book\, Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016)\, co-authored with her husband William Vance Trollinger\, Jr.\, provides a close reading of the arguments presented at the Creation Museum in Kentucky and situates them within the long history of Protestant fundamentalism in the U.S. \n\n\n\nShe has been interviewed by numerous media outlets including C-Span2’s BookTV\, RadioWest\, the Washington Post\, and GQ. \n\n\n\nProgram Details \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 PM\, and the program begins at 7:00 PM. The lecture will be held in the CRF Museum Lecture Hall.

SUMMARY:Conflict and Memory: Digging into the Copus Massacre
DESCRIPTION:In September 1812\, during the War of 1812\, tensions between settlers and Native Americans in north-central Ohio reached a violent climax at what came to be known as the Copus Massacre. Following the forced removal and destruction of the nearby Greentown Indian village\, many Native residents were betrayed by the US Army and blamed their white neighbors\, intensifying hostilities. Reverend James Copus\, a settler who had been close friends with the Greentown residents\, was targeted alongside soldiers stationed in the area. The resulting attack left several settlers\, soldiers\, and natives dead. \n\n\n\nThe Copus Massacre of 1812 was one of the most significant and tragic events to occur in north-central Ohio during the War of 1812. This program explores the wider context of the war and the nearby Greentown Indian village\, the events that led to the clash between local settlers and Native Americans\, and the enduring legacy the conflict left behind. Finally\, the program will highlight the results of the first phase of modern archaeological work at the historic site\, shedding new light on the landscape and stories tied to this turbulent moment in Ohio’s past. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nKenny Libben is the curator of the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum\, where he has served since 2010. During his tenure\, he has been recognized with multiple awards for his leadership in the museum field\, including the Ohio Local History Alliance’s Outstanding Individual Achievement Award\, the Small Museum Association’s Hunter-Burley Award\, and the Ohio Museum Association’s Best Exhibition Award. \n\n\n\nHe serves as an officer of the International Committee for Regional Museums (ICOM-ICR) and as a representative for the Ohio Local History Alliance. He has previously been featured on American History TV. \n\n\n\nProgram Details \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30 PM\, and the program begins at 7:00 PM. The lecture will be held in the CRF Museum Lecture Hall. \n\n\n\nThis event is held in cooperation between the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum and the Ashland County Historical Society:ACHS is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that brings Ashland County’s history alive through education\, preservation\, and community engagement.
