Kamala Harris set several records as the first woman, first Black and first South Asian vice president-elect, and candidates from diverse backgrounds were elected in many state and local elections.
As part of the Special Collections online exhibit, Founding Mothers: From the Ballot Box to the University, the University of Arizona Libraries, in partnership with Dr. Patricia MacCorquodale, professor emerita in the Department of Gender and Women's Studies, presents this panel discussion to address equal rights in our current historical and community context.
In addition to celebrating this moment in history as one that reflects democracy and advances equal rights, the panel discussion includes strategies, issues, practices, and policies that foster or perpetuate inequalities. Our panelists will also talk about ways community members, individually or collectively, can take actions to promote equal rights, ensure participation in democracy, or create safe and inclusive communities.

The exhibition explores the tension between myth and reality in the Southwest borderlands during the first half of the twentieth century, taking inspiration from two works published by the University of Arizona Press: "Celluloid Pueblo" by Jennifer L. Jenkins and "Postcards from the Sonora Border" by Daniel D. Arreola. Drawing upon films, fiction, brochures, movie posters, photographs, and a host of other documents and ephemera, Visions of the Borderlands encourages visitors to ask questions about what myths are for, the relationship between myth and reality, and how we can use archival materials to come to more realistic understandings of the past.
library.arizona.edu/news/entries/view/3128Celluloid Pueblo: Western Ways Films and the Invention of the Postwar SouthwestUniversity of Arizona Libraries2017-04-17 | The five Cs of Arizona—copper, cattle, cotton, citrus, and climate—formed the basis of the state's livelihood and a readymade roster of subjects for films. With an eye on the developing national appetite for all things western, Charles and Lucile Herbert founded Western Ways Features in 1936 to document the landscape, regional development, and diverse cultures of Arizona, the U.S. Southwest, and northern Mexico.
Celluloid Pueblo tells the story of Western Ways Features and its role in the invention of the Southwest of the imagination. Active during a thirty-year period of profound growth and transformation, the Herberts created a dynamic visual record of the region, and their archival films now serve as a time capsule of the Sunbelt in the mid-twentieth century. Drawing upon a ten-year career with Fox, Western Ways owner-operator Charles Herbert brought a newshound's sensibility and acute skill at in-camera editing to his southwestern subjects. The Western Ways films provided counternarratives to Hollywood representations of the West and established the regional identity of Tucson and the borderlands.
Jennifer L. Jenkins's broad-sweeping book examines the Herberts' work on some of the first sound films in the Arizona borderlands and their ongoing promotion of the Southwest. The book covers the filmic representation of Native and Mexican lifeways, Anglo ranching and leisure, Mexican missions and tourism, and postwar borderlands prosperity and progressivism. The story of Western Ways closely follows the boom-and-bust arc of the midcentury Southwest and the constantly evolving representations of an exotic—but safe and domesticated—frontier.
