    The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia Civic Partnership and Planning Workshop April 16-17, 2009, at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania Summary of Sessions DAY 1 Morning Panel: Capitalizing on the Region’s Historical Assets The session began with an introduction from Howard Gillette, who spoke about the general goals of the Encyclopedia project and the role of civic investment and engagement within it. He emphasized the importance of collaboration across disciplines and state lines and the Encyclopedia’s potential to build on existing assets while also generating new initiatives and knowledge. Panel chair Steven Conn then introduced the panel and posed the question, “What are we doing here?” In response to his question, Conn spoke of the parallel flourishing of new scholarship on Philadelphia over the past twenty years and a civic and cultural renaissance that this project hopes to connect further. Conn also described the past’s ability to reflect on the present and inform the future and concluded with the hope that the Encyclopedia will be a resource that resonates with people in the present and shapes debates about the future. The first speaker was Michael Coard from the Avenging the Ancestors Coalition, who spoke about the President’s House project. Coard described the uniqueness of the President’s House site and Liberty Bell Center as a space where visitors must cross the “hell of slavery” into the “heaven of liberty” and addressed the importance of recognizing both sides of that story. To this point, Coard identified truth as the prime historical need and spoke of the power of projects in civic engagement and investment like the President’s House to challenge one-sided history and make the experiences of African Americans part of the larger narrative.

  • Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and His Relatives: How an Adolescent from Turnhout Worked His Way up in the New World
    Govert Loockermans (1617?-1671?) and his relatives: How an adolescent from Turnhout worked his way up in the New World Willem Frijhoff (Erasmus University, Rotterdam / VU-University, Amsterdam) [Revised version, January 7, 2016] Summary This contribution aims at painting a picture of the person, the strategy and career of Govert Loockermans, paying special attention to the relationship he and his family in the New World had with Turnhout, and to the role played by the complex network of his relatives in the formation of New Netherland and of New York. He abandoned his Catholic Faith, and it appears that he soon ceased all contact with his blood relatives in Turnhout. He was not only a vigilant and cunning merchant, who amassed a large fortune for that time, but also a ruthless pioneer. We could see him as an icon of the current Wall Street capitalist. Either way, he was a man who helped determine and shape the age he lived in. His destiny continues to fascinate us. Govert Loockermans, the American hero from Turnhout, is the classic example of the ‘famous unknown’ gracing so many history books. He does not appear in any national dictionary, nor is he counted among the about thirty ‘famous Turnhoutenaren’ on the Turnhout tab of Wikipedia. Some of his deeds in the founding history of the country that later would become the United States are indeed very well known—even if not always flattering—but the history of his life in New Amsterdam, present day New York, has only been told a handful of times.
