Dr. Caleb McDaniel, Rice University
Dr. Amy Rutenberg (Christopher Gannon/Iowa State University)
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Caleb McDaniel, recently received the Pulitzer Prize in History for
Sweet Taste of Liberty. McDaniel’s timely book traces the harrowing story of Henrietta
Wood, a woman who twice survived slavery and even sued the sheriff who conspired
with her employer to sell her back into bondage. And our distinguished speaker,
Dr. Amy Rutenberg, author of Rough Draft, thoughtfully explores how racial inequalities
and class disparities impacted military demographics in the years following World War II.
