Holly Pinheiro Department of History, Anthropology and Philosophy Augusta University Augusta U Fri, 02/21/2020 - 10:00am 101 LeConte Hall Join us as Franklin Visiting Scholar Holly Pinheiro presents a talk about his forthcoming book on Post-Civil War African American Family Life in Philadelphia. This event is free and open to the public. Holly Anthony Pinheiro is Assistant Professor of history at Augusta University. Dr. Pinheiro’s research focuses on the intersectionality of race, gender, and class in the military from 1850 through the 1910s. Counter to the national narrative which championed the patriotic manhood of soldiering from the Civil War through the World War 1, his research reveals that African American veterans and their families' military experience were much more fraught. Economic and social instability introduced by military service resonated for years and even generations after soldiers left the battlefield. With support from the Franklin College Visiting Scholars Program and the Gable Fund for History.
