Kelly Stith oral history interview, 2024 June 27

Level of Description

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with Kelly Stith conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on June 27, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Stith recalls starting to drive from Henderson to UNLV for an appointment, but her significant other informed her that there was a shooting on campus so she drove to his home instead. They checked on their friends throughout the day and Stith began thinking about what she could do about shootings in America. Stith is a writer, artist, and punk rock enthusiast who teaches in the English departments at both UNLV and NSU. She decided that she would use writing, photography, and music to heal and that she would use her voice to create more awareness and thus create change around gun violence. Stith believes that we all have a responsibility to ourselves and our communities to enact common sense gun laws through community organizing, writing, and by mobilizing the arts community. Digital audio and transcript available.

Scope and Contents

Oral history interview with David Schwartz conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 13, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Schwartz, who works as UNLV’s Ombuds, recalls what he experienced in a nearby building on December 6, 2023. Schwartz works in a building diagonally across Pida Plaza and Beam Hall, where the shooting occurred. When Schwartz and his office manager heard shots, they executed their emergency plan they had designed. It worked perfectly, although Schwartz did not leave campus but remained to assist students in accessing the safest routes to their destinations and shared advice on how to connect with families and associates. Then he went to the university command center and then to the dormitory housing area and passed out pizza. He describes his goal for the day to be a stabilizing force and help to students, in the same way that he would have wanted someone to help his own children. Digital audio and transcript available.

Oral history interview with Elizabeth Ku conducted by Claytee D. White and Stefani Evans on August 26, 2024 for the UNLV Remembers: an Oral History of the 6 December 2023 Shootings project. In this interview, Ku, a UNLV mechanical engineering major, describes planning to meet friends for lunch at the Student Union, but when schedule conflicts delayed their lunch, she instead went to the UNLV community garden. As she started heading for the Thomas T. Beam Engineering Complex - Building B (TBE-B), she saw people running and received the first text alert. As she neared the Science and Engineering Building (SEB), some professors waved her inside the teachers' lounge, where she sheltered with three other students and about four professors. The group in the teachers' lounge played Uno to keep themselves calm; the professors also shared snacks. Ku shares that this experience taught her she is loved; she has a support system; and she has reasons for joy and to live. Digital audio and transcript available.

Film transparency of Hoover (Boulder) Dam, taken from the upstream side of the dam on the Arizona side, May, 1947

Date

Description

Hoover (Boulder) Dam, taken from the upstream side of the dam on the Arizona side, May, 1947. The intake towers, Nevada spillway house (in the background, behind the intake towers), and the Nevada spillway are visible. During the years of lobbying leading up to the passage of legislation authorizing the dam in 1928, Hoover Dam was originally referred to "Boulder Dam" or as "Boulder Canyon Dam", even though the proposed site had shifted to Black Canyon. The Boulder Canyon Project Act of 1928 (BCPA) never mentions a proposed name or title for the dam. When Secretary Wilbur spoke at the ceremony starting the building of the railway between Las Vegas and the dam site on September 17, 1930, he named the dam "Hoover Dam", citing a tradition of naming dams after Presidents, though none had been so honored during their terms of office. After Hoover's election defeat in 1932 and the accession of the Roosevelt administration, Secretary Ickes ordered on May 13, 1933 that the dam be referred to as "Boulder Dam".
