The Navy has honored the event by naming five of its ships U.S.S. Lexington. The first sailed within a year of the battle itself. The most recent retired in 1991 and is now a museum in Corpus Christi, Texas. The Visitor Center has become closely associated with U.S.S. Lexington. The walls around you feature artifacts related to the ships, particularly U.S.S Lexington CV-2 (1922–1942) and CV-16 (1943–1991). Former crewmembers donated most of these objects. Look through the windows and you will see a memorial to all five ships. The : A PROUD LEGACY Town of Lexington dedicated the memorial on April 19, 1988. The siege of Boston was tough for both sides, with disease outbreaks and supply shortages. The Battle of Bunker Hill in June of 1775 was technically a win for the British, but their casualties far exceeded Patriot losses. After a months-long stand-off, Continental Army commander George Washington seized Dorchester Heights. The British left Massachusetts, never to return.

All rights reserved. PREFACE Theodore Parker (1810-1860) fashioned a strategy of "man-making" and an ideology of manhood in response to the marginalization of the professional ministry in general and his own ministry in particular. Much has been written about Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) and his abandonment of the professional ministry for a literary career after 1832. Little, however, has been written about Parker's deliberate choice to remain in the ministry despite formidable opposition from within the ranks of Boston's liberal clergy.

Willard presented his painting, Spirit of ‘76, Iat the U.S. Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, PA. The painting depicts three generations of Americans fighting for their new nation’s freedom, one of whom is marching along though slightly wounded in battle. Willard’s powerful portrayal of the strength and determination of the American people in the face of overwhelming odds inspired millions. The painting quickly became one of the most popular patriotic images in American history. This depiction of courage and character still resonates today as the Spirit of ‘76 lives on in our newest Americans. “Spirit of ‘76” (1876) by Archibald M. Willard.

THE PARADOX OF THEODORE PARKER: TRANSCENDENTALIST, ABOLITIONIST, AND WHITE SUPREMACIST. by JIM KELLEY Under the Direction of David Sehat, Phd ABSTRACT Theodore Parker was one of the leading intellectuals and militant abolitionists of the antebellum era who has been largely overlooked by modern scholars. He was a leading Transcendentalist intellectual and was also one of the most militant leaders of the abolitionist movement. Despite his fervent abolitionism, his writings reveal an attitude that today we would call racist or white supremacist. Some scholars have argued that Parker's motivation for abolishing slavery was to redeem the Anglo-Saxon race from the sin of slavery. I will dispute this claim and explore Parker's true understanding of race. How he could both believe in the supremacy of the white race, and at the same time, militantly oppose African slavery. Parker was influenced by the racial "science" of his era which supported the superiority of the Caucasian race.
