SUMMARY:Sotterley Presents: People and Perspectives - Snow-Storm in August with Jefferson Morley
DESCRIPTION:Jefferson Morley\nAuthor and Investigative Reporter\nSnow-Storm in August\nWednesday\, May 25th\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.\n____________________________________________________________________________\n\nClick here to Register!\nAuthor Jefferson Morley discusses his book\, Snow-Storm in August\, about the 1835 Snow Riot. In 1835\, the city of Washington pulsed with change. As newly freed African Americans from the South poured in\, free blacks outnumbered slaves for the first time. Radical notions of abolishing slavery circulated on the city’s streets\, and white residents were forced to confront new ideas of what the nation’s future might look like. \nOn the night of August 4th\, Arthur Bowen\, an eighteen-year-old slave\, stumbled into the bedroom where his owner\, Anna Thornton\, slept. He had an ax in the crook of his arm. An alarm was raised\, and he ran away. Word of the incident spread rapidly\, and within days\, Washington’s first race riot exploded\, as whites fearing a slave rebellion attacked the property of the free blacks. Residents dubbed the event the “Snow-Storm\,” in reference to the central role of Beverly Snow\, a flamboyant free man of color and successful restaurateur\, who became the target of the mob’s rage. \nJefferson Morley is a Washington author and investigative reporter. He worked as an editor and reporter at the Washington Post and Washingtonpost.com for 15 years and served as Washington correspondent for The Nation and Salon. \nSnow-Storm in August: Francis Scott Key\, Washington City and the Forgotten Riot of 1835 is the second of the four books of narrative non-fiction that he has published. Morley is also the author of a trilogy of spies\, namely three biographies of leading officers in the Central Intelligence Agency. \nThis presentation is a part of our Common Ground Initiative and made possible by grants from the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, Maryland Heritage Areas Authority\, and Maryland Humanities. \nFREE WEBINAR for the public – Advance registration required.  \nClick here to Register!

SUMMARY:Sotterley Presents: People and Perspectives - What We Commemorate on Juneteenth with Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Richard Bell \nProfessor of History and the University of Maryland\nWhat We Commemorate on Juneteenth\nWednesday\, June 15th\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.\n____________________________________________________________________________\nClick here to Register!\nOver the course of four years\, enslaved people worked to turn the Civil War into a freedom war. Slowly but surely\, they pushed President Abraham Lincoln and his commanders in the field toward embracing emancipation as a war aim and to compel them to take the giant steps forward needed to abolish slavery once and for all. On June 19\, 1865\, the federal government finally met that objective\, declaring slavery dead across the country. This momentous event marked a new birth of freedom—an occasion we now commemorate as Juneteenth.\n​​\nDr. Richard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland. He holds a PhD from Harvard University and is author of the new book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home which is shortlisted for the George Washington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize. He has won more than a dozen teaching awards\, including the University System of Maryland Board of Regents Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching\, the highest honor for teaching faculty in the Maryland state system. He has held major research fellowships at Yale\, Cambridge\, and the Library of Congress and is the recipient of the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar award. He serves as a Trustee of the Maryland Center for History and Culture\, as an elected member of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts\, and as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. \n  \nThis presentation is made possible by the generous support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, Maryland Humanities\, and Maryland Heritage Area Authority. \nFREE WEBINAR for the public – Advance registration required.  \nThis year’s speaker series will be offered virtually.  \nClick here to Register!
