    African American Heritage Trail Washington, DC Dear Washingtonians and Visitors, Welcome to the African American Heritage Trail for Washington, DC! It is my honor to present this latest edition of the guide to the inspiring history of African Americans in this world-class city. From Benjamin Banneker’s essential role in the survey of the District in 1791, to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963 and beyond, African Americans have made DC a capital of activism and culture. John H. Fleet, a physician, teacher, and abolitionist, called Georgetown home. Ralph J. Bunche, a professor, United Nations negotiator, and Nobel Peace Prize recipi- ent settled in Brookland. Anthony Bowen, an abolitionist, community leader, and Underground Railroad conductor changed the world from a modest home in Southwest. Washington is where advisor to U.S. presidents Mary McLeod Bethune, activist A. Phillip Randolph, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and visual artist Lois Mailou Jones all lived and made their careers. On the African American Heritage Trail, you’ll see important sites in the lives of each of these remarkable people. You’ll also encounter U Street, long a hub for African American theater and music; Howard University, the flagship of African American higher education; and Anacostia, a historic black suburb once home to Frederick Douglass. Alongside these paragons of American history and culture, generations of African Americans from all walks of life built strong communities, churches, businesses, Front cover: Esquisse for Ode to Kinshasa by Lois Mailou Jones, and other institutions that have made DC the vital city Museum of Women in the Arts; George E.C.

ADDENDUM TO THE JOURNAL The following remarks by Senator SCOTT were ordered printed in the Journal of February 28, 2019: Remarks by Senator SCOTT This is the last day of the month and the last day of Black History Month for this year. Black History Month was created for the purpose of remembering and observing the contributions that African Americans have made to our society. Often times, we recognize those whose names were more prominent, but there were many others whose legacies were rich, yet they received little acclaim and recognition. Today, I’d like to address you briefly about one such person and two of his accomplishments. His name is rarely mentioned, yet his achievements stand tall for all to see. His famous work has not only been viewed by tourists here in America, but by people from all over the world. His name is Philip Reid, an African American craftsman and artisan. Philip Reid, was an African American master craftsman and artisan who played a key role as the foreman in the casting of the statue of Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans and the Statue of Freedom sculpture atop the United States Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

  • Priber's “Kingdom of Paradise”: Belief Systems and Ethnicity In
    PRIBER’S “KINGDOM OF PARADISE”: BELIEF SYSTEMS AND ETHNICITY IN THE COLONIAL SOUTH by CRYSTAL AYCOCK BOWNE (Under the Direction of Jace Weaver) ABSTRACT This thesis explores Native, African, and European belief systems in the early to mid eighteenth-century colonial South. Between 1736 and 1743, Christian Gottlieb Priber, a German immigrant, devised a plan to establish a “Kingdom of Paradise” in Cherokee country. In this society, all goods would be held in common, and all peoples would be welcome and treated equally. Priber’s scheme provides a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of Native, African, and European belief systems at this particular time and place. This thesis researches major concepts from each of these cultures in order to reveal a more holistic view of American religious history. INDEX WORDS: Priber, Pryber, Prieber, Preber, Cherokee Belief System, Overhill Cherokee, African Traditional Religion, Slave Society in Carolina, Pietism, Utopianism, Natural Right, colonial South PRIBER’S “KINGDOM OF PARADISE”: BELIEF SYSTEMS AND ETHNICITY IN THE COLONIAL SOUTH by CRYSTAL AYCOCK BOWNE B.A., Appalachian State University, 2004 A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree MASTER OF ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2009 © 2009 Crystal Aycock Bowne All Rights Reserved PRIBER’S “KINGDOM OF PARADISE”: BELIEF SYSTEMS AND ETHNICITY IN THE COLONIAL SOUTH by CRYSTAL AYCOCK BOWNE Major Professor: Jace Weaver Committee: Sandy D.
