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!

SUMMARY:Sotterley Presents: People and Perspectives - Hidden in Plain Sight with Matthew Webster
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Webster\nExecutive Director of the Grainger Department of Architectural Preservation and Research for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\nHidden in Plain Sight: The Discovery and Restoration of Williamsburg’s Bray School\nWednesday\, September 14th\, 2022 at 7:00 p.m.\n____________________________________________________________________________\nClick here to Register! \nOn September 29\, 1760 the Associates of Dr. Bray in London established a school for the education of enslaved and free Black children in Williamsburg\, Virginia. The school was one of the original four\, with others located in Providence\, New York\, and Philadelphia. The school would operate until 1774 when a combination of the passing of teacher Ann Wager and increasing tensions with England caused the school to close. The building now stands as the earliest surviving school dedicated to Black education in North America. This lecture will discuss the complexity of the history and research that allowed the building to remain “hidden in plain sight”\, revealed its identity\, and the restoration efforts at the Bray school today.\n​​​​​​​\n​​​​​​​Matthew Webster is the Executive Director of the Grainger Department of Architectural Preservation and Research for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. In this role he oversees the preservation of 603 structures in the National Landmark Historic Area\, the 18\,000 piece architectural fragment collection\, architectural research\, and historic interiors. Prior to Williamsburg he served as Director of Preservation at Drayton Hall (1754) in Charleston\, South Carolina. He also served as Director of Restoration for George Washington’s Fredericksburg Foundation in Fredericksburg\, Virginia where he oversaw the restoration of Kenmore (1770). Webster sits on the board of Falmouth Heritage Renewal in Falmouth\, Jamaica\, and on the advisory boards of Preservation Virginia\, Stratford Hall and Menokin\, in Virginia and Drayton Hall in South Carolina. He has consulted on projects throughout the eastern United States as well as internationally. He has taught at the University of Virginia and University of Mary Washington and lectures frequently on preservation\, architecture\, and history topics. \nThis presentation is made possible by the generous support of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. \nFREE WEBINAR for the public – Advance registration required.  \nClick here to Register!

SUMMARY:Paying it Forward with Growing for Good - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Growing for Good event CANCELLED for October 1st and 2nd\, but Pumpkin Painting is Still a Go!\n  \nHistoric Sotterley is sad to announce that we need to cancel our volunteer Growing for Good event this weekend.  We were excited to have volunteers join us to sort\, box\, and distribute food to our food pantries\, but our wonderful partners in the food pantries have let us know that many need to close due to the impending storm.  Because of this\, we will not have a way to distribute the food to those in need while it is still fresh. \n  \nOn a happy note\, our Pop-up event of mini-pumpkin painting for our youngest visitors is still a go!  Check www.sotterley.org details and more information. \n  \nGrowing for Good will continue in the upcoming weeks\, however\, and we will have produce that needs to be picked\, sorted\, and distributed throughout the month of October.  We will have some new dates when we will be doing this once we can coordinate with our partners in Farmers Feeding Southern Maryland.  If you are interested in helping us and are not already on our volunteer list\, please email Kim at officemanager@sotterley.org\, and she will add you to her volunteer email list so that you will know our plans. \n  \nWe are so grateful to our generous community for helping us throughout the year with Growing for Good\, and we hope that you can join us on our rescheduled dates as well as in the future.  Together\, we can come together to not only help support those who need it most\, but we can do our part to help build a better community. \n\nSaturday\, October 1\, 2022\nSunday\, October 2\, 2022\nboth days 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nEarlier in the year our generous community stepped forward to help us plant acres of vegetables which Sotterley earmarked for donation to our local food banks and food pantries. After harvesting the goods\, the time has come to share the goodies! Everyone willing to volunteer will be helping us “Pay it Forward”\, directly supporting families in need in our community. \nWe need the extra hands to help sort and box the produce which is then to be picked up. Hopefully on the day you offer your help\, we will be able to complete the task at hand for this wonderful project. This task at hand is recommeded for ages 12 and up. \nSign up to Volunteer Here!\nPlease sign up in advance so we know how many volunteers to expect.  Head towards the Visitor Center and follow the “Growing for Good” directional signage down to a part of the site you probably didn’t even know existed. \nNote: We recommend hats\, gloves\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, shoes and clothes you are not afraid to get dirty! \n  \nPlease plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your start time to check-in. \nIf you have any questions or need assistance in any way\, please do not hesitate to contact Kim Husick at officemanager@sotterley.org or 301-373-2280 x. 1105 \nGrowing for Good \nGrowing Together! \n

SUMMARY:Paying it Forward with Growing for Good - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Growing for Good event CANCELLED for October 1st and 2nd\, but Pumpkin Painting is Still a Go!\n  \nHistoric Sotterley is sad to announce that we need to cancel our volunteer Growing for Good event this weekend.  We were excited to have volunteers join us to sort\, box\, and distribute food to our food pantries\, but our wonderful partners in the food pantries have let us know that many need to close due to the impending storm.  Because of this\, we will not have a way to distribute the food to those in need while it is still fresh. \n  \nOn a happy note\, our Pop-up event of mini-pumpkin painting for our youngest visitors is still a go!  Check www.sotterley.org details and more information. \n  \nGrowing for Good will continue in the upcoming weeks\, however\, and we will have produce that needs to be picked\, sorted\, and distributed throughout the month of October.  We will have some new dates when we will be doing this once we can coordinate with our partners in Farmers Feeding Southern Maryland.  If you are interested in helping us and are not already on our volunteer list\, please email Kim at officemanager@sotterley.org\, and she will add you to her volunteer email list so that you will know our plans. \n  \nWe are so grateful to our generous community for helping us throughout the year with Growing for Good\, and we hope that you can join us on our rescheduled dates as well as in the future.  Together\, we can come together to not only help support those who need it most\, but we can do our part to help build a better community. \n\nSaturday\, October 1\, 2022\nSunday\, October 2\, 2022\nboth days 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm\nEarlier in the year our generous community stepped forward to help us plant acres of vegetables which Sotterley earmarked for donation to our local food banks and food pantries. After harvesting the goods\, the time has come to share the goodies! Everyone willing to volunteer will be helping us “Pay it Forward”\, directly supporting families in need in our community. \nWe need the extra hands to help sort and box the produce which is then to be picked up. Hopefully on the day you offer your help\, we will be able to complete the task at hand for this wonderful project. This task at hand is recommeded for ages 12 and up. \nSign up to Volunteer Here!\nPlease sign up in advance so we know how many volunteers to expect.  Head towards the Visitor Center and follow the “Growing for Good” directional signage down to a part of the site you probably didn’t even know existed. \nNote: We recommend hats\, gloves\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, shoes and clothes you are not afraid to get dirty! \n  \nPlease plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your start time to check-in. \nIf you have any questions or need assistance in any way\, please do not hesitate to contact Kim Husick at officemanager@sotterley.org or 301-373-2280 x. 1105 \nGrowing for Good \nGrowing Together! \n
