Donald M. Barber is a Sotterley descendant. He is third generation of the Barber family that lived and worked at Sotterley since the turn of the 20th century. Barber will share his story on what it was like to be a child of Sotterley employees in the 1960s.
​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​Donald Barber was born to Ruth and Bernard Barber of Sotterley on March 24, 1957.  He was the sixth of seven children born to that family. Donald spent his early years at Sotterley and was in the first wave of children to experience integrated public schools in 1965.  Donald excelled in school, eventually being awarded a National Merit Scholarship, which he used to attend St. Mary’s College of Maryland in 1975.  After graduation, Donald embarked on a career in the Human Services field and met and married his wife, Rosa, with whom he lives in quiet retirement in Hollywood. Donald currently serves as a Trustee on the Board of Historic Sotterley.

Speaker Series: The Nine Lives of Benjamin Franklin by Dr. Richard Bell

The Nine Lives of Benjamin Franklin

Franklin’s genius is a puzzle. Born the tenth son of a humble family of puritan candle-makers in Boston in 1706, Franklin’s rise to the front ranks of science, engineering, and invention was as unexpected as it was meteoric. Here is a man with only two years of proper schooling who later received honorary degrees from Harvard, Yale, Oxford, and St. Andrews as well as the eighteenth-century equivalent of a Nobel Prize for Physics. Like his hero Isaac Newton, Franklin’s great genius lay in optimizing, in tinkering, in improving, and in never being satisfied with the world as he knew it. In this talk with University of Maryland historian Richard Bell we will examine many of Franklin’s ideas to make life simpler, cheaper, and easier for himself and everyone else. It turns out that those ideas encompassed not only natural science and engineering, but also all sorts of public works, civic improvements, political trail-blazing, and fresh, new business ideas.
​​
Dr. 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.

John B. King Jr. recounts the multi-generational journey that led from his great-grandfather being enslaved in Maryland to King serving as President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education, and explores the ways in which our past can inform the paths we choose to take in the future – both as individuals and a community. King’s story underlines the importance of investing in those who have too often been marginalized, underserved, and forgotten, especially as we begin to emerge from the pandemic that only further underlined deeply-rooted racial and economic inequities in our society.

Black Men in White Coats Film Discussion
2021-03-04 19:00 - 20:30 | MD
Join us as we discuss Black Men in White Coats, a new documentary from Dr. Dale Okorodudu.

Black Men in White Coats Discussion Flyer

Join moderator Kelsey Bush , Interim Chief Diversity Officer at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, as he discusses the documentary ‘Black Men in White Coats’ with special guests Dr. Emmanuel Atiemo, MD (Orthopedics and Sports Medicine) and Dr. Chile Ahaghotu, MD, MBA, MHL, FACS (Vice President Medical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer at Medstar Southern Maryland Hospital Center). To register, visit http://www.stmalib.org

If you have not watched the film yet, register with an email address to receive an emailed code to watch the film. You can watch the film on any device with an internet connection at any time between February 26 and March 2: https://www.indiescreening.com/…/black-men-in-white…

Fewer black men applied to medical school in 2014 than in 1978 and black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2% of American doctors being black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary dissects the systemic barriers preventing black men from becoming medical doctors and the consequences on society at large.

Health care accounts for nearly 20% of the United State’s GDP and a significant portion of that is driven by disparities in a system that lacks diverse physicians. What if we had a medical workforce that actually reflected our patient population? What challenges do our black boys face? Who are their role models? Why is it easier to visualize a black man in an orange jumpsuit than it is in a white coat? What’s happening in society that more black women are becoming doctors while black men are stagnant?

This film screening was funded by the Friends of the St. Mary’s County Library.

Thomas explores the enslaved families of Prince George’s County Maryland who filed lawsuits against their slaveowners, from Jesuit priests who founded Georgetown University, to other large plantation owners from 1887 to 1861. Many found freedom through these legal actions and were defended by unlikely lawyers to include Francis Scott Key. A relevant and timely story that reveals the healing power of justice that transcends from the past to the present day. Thomas is the John and Catherine Angle Chair in the Humanities and Professor of History at the University of Nebraska. A webinar is part of Sotterley’s Common Ground Initiative: Transcending Barriers Toward Healing, and Sotterley’s 14th Annual Speaker Series.

The Power of US: What Happens When Historical Narratives Are Corrected

The history we teach has evolved over time and the reason is simple, we have changed. With those changes come a responsibility to explore what history can teach us about the current state of affairs. When that history is incomplete, or deliberately leaves out elements of conflict, we fail to get an accurate view that causes far more harm than good. As a public historian, Coleman feels her job is to lay out stories you may not have considered or heard before and provide an environment where people can learn and explore.
FREE WEBINAR for the public – The Boeing Company has generously sponsored the Speaker Series at Sotterley for the past 13 years. Advance registration required.
This year’s speaker series will be offered virtually and some may also be offered in person depending on community guidelines. Links will be available the week of the event. Stay tuned for updated hosting information.
