In 2012, the figure was one in nine. Recent estimates place the number of foreign-born Virginians at just under one million, and nearly half of these new residents are between the ages of 25 and 44. The Library of Virginia, working with Virginia Humanities, will host an exhibition featuring video-recorded conversations with immigrants and refugees from more than 30 countries. Some came to this country seeking new opportunity, others as refugees fleeing war and hardship. Virginia’s Secretary of Education, Atif Qarni, is among the interviewees, who also include a teacher, professional photographer, former U.S. Marine and I.T Professional, doctor, missionaries, and folklorists. New Virginians is a legacy project of the 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution.

Supported by approximately 16 minutes of narration, the majority of the show features interviews with Virginia and national leaders discussing how the 1619 events are reflected in contemporary American society. Produced in partnership with Cinebar Productions, Inc., Maryland Public Television serves as the presenting PBS station for national marketing and distribution.

Check your local listings. 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution Legacy Project January 19 – April 28, 2019 American Adventure Exhibit Virginia Living Museum, Newport News Do you have what it takes to survive? Take a step back into history to find out. In 1607, settlers landed on the shores of Virginia and called it home, creating the first permanent European settlement. Little did they know that less than half of them would survive the year in this new wilderness. Minotaur Mazes’ American Adventure takes visitors on an immersive, educational role-play adventure that asks people to conquer one great challenge: survive the year as one of the original Jamestown colonists. Sound easy? Think again. Only 38 of the 104 settlers survived. But don’t worry – you’re not tied to their destiny. You can beat the odds and determine your fate – it all depends on the choices you make…and a bit of luck. 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution Partner Program, Exhibition January 25 - December 31, 2019 “The Great Charter and the General Assembly: Founding a Legacy in 1619” Virginia State Capitol Visitor Center, Richmond – SPECIAL EXHIBITION The Great Charter and the General Assembly is an exhibition produced in two forms, including a wall panel exhibit to be mounted in the Virginia State Capitol Visitor Center and a set of pull-up banners for statewide distribution to partners. The content highlights the historical origins of the Virginia General Assembly in the Great Charter of 1618, which abolished martial law, allowed property to shift to private ownership, and authorized the governor to summon a General Assembly to act on legislation. The exhibition includes the legacy of representative government, which became the model adopted for 2 the establishment of the government of the United States. Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation Partner Project. The exhibition is legacy project of the 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution. January 30, 2019 The Immigration Question: A Century Ago and Today Gerard Dining Hall, Marymount University, Arlington Marymount’s annual American Heritage lecture will feature Katherine Benton-Cohen of Georgetown University, who will speak on the history of immigration in America from the early 20th century to the present. One hundred years ago in America, there was no such thing as an “illegal alien” or even a border patrol. But Americans were actively debating what it meant to be an American and whom to include–and exclude. During the large-scale immigration of the early 20th century, Americans feared the foreign-born would steal jobs, lower wages, and threaten American morality and culture. They also feared immigration would weaken what they called the “American race.” Their fears shaped federal immigration policy–and continue to inform how we think about immigration in America today. 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution Partner Program February 1 - March 2, 2019 African-American Cultural Heritage Month Jamestown Settlement & American Revolution Museum at Yorktown – THEMED PROGRAM Through month long activities

Secretary Hicks-Thomas then led a discussion regarding an e-mail sent to the Executive Board from Commission Member Mary Abelsmith. Regarding the concerns of the e-mail, the Executive Board resolved that they had already received a concrete timeline on the project as submitted by the artist, that the current funds raised are being held by the Capitol Foundation and that Alice Lynch will talk more about current fundraising efforts at the next meeting of the Full Commission. Members of the Executive Board then held a brief discussion about potential names for the Monument that had not previously been submitted. Susan Schaar brought up the potential to have a female athlete as a figure on the Monument. Ms. Schaar also discussed the major role women have played in the conservation of Virginia and suggested the name Elisabeth Scott Bocock. Em Bowles Alsop also suggested the Gibson girl and Mary Wells Ashworth. Alice Lynch questioned if Lottie Moon should be reconsidered. A suggestion from the audience of Pat Perkinson, the first female Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, was made. An audience member also suggested Henrietta Lacks. The Board then discussed the information provided to them by Dr. Treadway on the list of names they had previously chosen.

    Vol. 22 www.lincolncottage.org Winter 2014 From the Director Dear Friends, If you had visited our offices in the past few weeks, you might wonder why everyone was sporting a perpetual grin. It was hard not to be happy. This month, we landed the cover of Washingtonian magazine with our iconic sculpture of Lincoln. The eye-catching cover showcases the life-like detail achieved by the artists at StudioEIS. It’s hard to believe the sculpture was dedicated five years ago this week, just one year after we opened to the public. So much has changed since then, and the cover was one in a recent string of events that demonstrated that all the hard work and determination of the past few years is paying off. Thank you for helping us spread the word. Did you see us on the cover of Washingtonian magazine? The life-size Washingtonian’s brief write-up took the opportunity to contrast our statue of Lincoln standing in front sculpture with one that is far more familiar to most Americans — the of the Cottage is a top pick for local Lincoln Memorial.

One thing I love about Fall is how the scenery completely changes with beautiful colors. I suggest visiting Virginia starting mid-October for fall foliage and colors. Unfortunately, when I visited on the last week of September 2016, the fall colors in Virginia hasn’t shown yet and the weather wasn’t cooperating with rain and fog, but you can imagine how beautiful it would be from the photos if it did! Did you know? Virginia is located midway between New York and Florida and, hence, called the “Gateway to the South”. Follow on Instagram @JourneyTraveler for more travel inspirations.
