Rachel Michelle Gunter is a professor of History at Collin college in North Texas. She earned a Ph.D. in U.S. history from Texas A&M University in 2017. She studies the woman suffrage movement in Texas and the United States from 1917 to 1923 focusing on how the successes and failures of the movement affected the voting rights of other groups including resident noncitizen voters, Mexican and German immigrants, servicemen, WWI veterans, Mexican Americans, and Black Americans. As part of this research she also looks into changes to the voting system including the beginning or expansion of absentee balloting in much of the United States and how many southern states altered their poll taxes during wartime so as to not disfranchise soldiers or veterans. She further researches the suffragists’ and later the League of Women Voters’ efforts to gain married women’s independent citizenship, instead of the government deriving their citizenship status from their husband’s.

Presentation (in Person) from the Fort Worth Public Library
The First People: The Ancient History and Cultures of Native Americans in North Texas
Presented by: Dr. Reid Ferring, UNT
Our modern city obscures the lives of the first people who occupied this region. Before the arrival of European and American settlers, an ever changing mix of Native American tribes and bands made their homes on the local grasslands and in the forests of the Cross Timbers. In honor of National Native American Heritage Month, Dr. Ferring will explain what archaeology and early records have revealed about the complexity of cultures and history of the predecessors of today’s Native Americans.
