  • Tracing the Arc: Representations of Slave Children in Twentieth
    TRACING THE ARC: REPRESENTATIONS OF SLAVE CHILDREN IN TWENTIETH- CENTURY AMERICAN HISTORIES AND FICTIONS by JESSIE LAFRANCE DUNBAR (Under the Direction of Barbara McCaskill) ABSTRACT My thesis will trace the literary and historical depictions of slave children, beginning with twentieth-century monographs on slavery and the oral and written slave narratives that historians have utilized in their research. By analyzing varied portrayals of slave children in historical studies, I will explain the flaws in early work by White scholars and trace the responses of African American scholars such as Willie Lee Rose, John Blassingame, and Herbert Gutman. I will execute close readings of two contemporary novels that feature slave children as prominent characters: Ernest Gaines’s Miss Jane Pittman (1971) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). I will examine the effectiveness of the novelists who imaginatively attempt to fill gaps in the historical scholarship on the subject of slave children. My research focuses on how African American historians and writers have responded to the pervasive apologist rhetoric of slavery.

  • April 9, 2021 the Honorable Peter V. R. Franchot Comptroller of Maryland Goldstein Treasury Building 80 Calvert Street Annapolis, MD 21404
    April 9, 2021 The Honorable Peter V. R. Franchot Comptroller of Maryland Goldstein Treasury Building 80 Calvert Street Annapolis, MD 21404 RE: I-495 & I-270 Managed Lane Project Dear Comptroller Franchot: We are writing to express our strong support for the Maryland Department of Transportation’s efforts to move forward with Phase 1 of the Maryland Traffic Relief Plan, which includes replacing the aging American Legion Bridge and improving the heavily congested I-270 corridor. MDOT’s plan to add two new High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes and improve regional transit service in each direction on the American Legion Bridge and I-270 will create a seamless managed lane network between Maryland and Virginia. This Regional Express Lanes Network is one of the Transportation Planning Board’s top transportation priorities because it dramatically increases the reliability of our transportation system despite our region’s current forecast to gain an additional 1 million jobs and 1.3 million residents by 2045. Furthermore, we support this forward-thinking, regionally significant project because it will substantially reduce congestion and delays for both free and toll lane users, improve regional transit service, increase carpooling, add new bike and pedestrian connections, strengthen our economy, and create thousands of good-paying jobs. The congestion relief benefits of this project alone will be transformational for local residents who use the American Legion Bridge and I-270 every day. People driving in the free lanes will save an average of 40 hours per year while toll lane drivers will save an average of 70 hours annually. That means 2-4 more waking days per year for DMV residents to do what they actually want with their lives instead of being stuck in soul crushing traffic.

By extending Trudier Harris’ research on representations of the “strong” black woman backwards into the nineteenth century, this thesis argues that the earliest literary depiction of such figures is the “extraordinary black slave woman,” an image present in many nineteenth- century slave narratives. In particular, I argue that in the narratives of Harriet Jacobs, Mary Prince, Frederick Douglass, Sylvia Dubois, Zilpha Elaw and Jarena Lee, the extraordinary slave women are depicted as domestic workers, manual laborers, physical resisters, mothers, and spiritual sisters. ii The thesis of Kimber Thomas is approved.

  • Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch Mcconnell Senate Majority
    Tuesday, February 14, 2017 Senator Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Senator McConnell, Nearly 55 million workers across the country lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans, and millions more fail to take full advantage of employer-supported plans. Without access to easy and affordable retirement savings options, far too many workers are on track to retire into poverty where they will depend on Social Security, state, and federal benefit programs for their most basic retirement needs. States across the country have been innovating to address this problem. We are writing to respectfully urge you to protect the rights of states and large municipalities to implement their own, unique approaches. Last week, two resolutions of disapproval (H.J. Res 66, H.J. Res 67) were introduced to repeal key Department of Labor (US DOL) rules. If passed, these resolutions would make it more difficult for states and municipalities to seek solutions to the growing retirement savings crisis. We ask that you support the role of states as policy innovators by voting “No” on H.J. Res 66 and H.J. Res 67. Thirty states and municipalities are in the process of implementing or exploring the establishment of state-facilitated, private-sector retirement programs. Eight states have passed legislation to allow individuals to save their own earnings for retirement (no employer funds are involved as these are not defined benefit plans). While most state and municipal plans will be governed by independent boards, the day-to-day investment management and recordkeeping would not be conducted by the state, but rather by private sector firms - the same financial institutions that currently provide retirement savings products.
