MS 0766 Loretta Carter Hanes Collection, 1749-2005 801 K Street NW Washington, D.C. 20001 www.DCHistory.org SPECIAL COLLECTIONS FINDING AID Title: MS 0766 Loretta Carter Hanes collection, 1749-2005 Processor: Marianne Gill Processed Date: 2014; additional series, objects, and textiles remain in the processing queue as of 2017 [Finding Aid last updated March 2017] Loretta Carter Hanes (1926-2016), a native Washingtonian, was a member of the Carter and Quander families. She was a descendent of enslaved people who lived and worked at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, and she was a dedicated volunteer to the school children of Washington, D.C. She is perhaps best recognized for her contributions to the Reading is Fundamental (RIF) program and the establishment of Emancipation Day as a municipal holiday in Washington, D.C. Born in 1926 in Washington, D.C., Loretta often accompanied her mother to her part time job as a cook at Stoddard Baptist Home. There she listened to the residents’ stories, including advice from a 102-year-old former slave who always talked about the need of everyone to help others by “bringing others across the bridge.” After graduating from Armstrong High School and Miner Teacher’s College, Loretta and her husband Wesley opened their home to tutor the neighborhood youth. Eventually a club was formed with 30 members who were taken on field trips to parks in the city for ball games. Reading is Fundamental, a program established November 1, 1966 at the urging of Mrs. Margaret McNamara, is a national program to provide school children with their own books. With offices in the Smithsonian Institution, and the financial support of foundation grants and industry contributions, RIF, by 1986, had 3100 projects in all 50 states and three territories. Loretta, as a member of the Urban Service Corporation, was a reading tutor in the D.C. schools and came to the attention of Mrs. McNamara in 1974. She invited Loretta to join the D.C. RIF Board of Directors, which had been incorporated July 1, 1973 and operated as a pilot project independent of the National Reading is Fundamental Program. Sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute at L’Enfant Plaza, and the National Park Service, the RIF staff of three distributed books to D.C. neighborhood children thru a “Summer in the Parks” program. Loretta moved the Reading is Fundamental office from the Smithsonian location to the Takoma Community School in 1976. Following the loss of funding from the National RIF in 1 1977, the local program became a grass-roots organization, with Loretta as the volunteer director. This involved contacting book publishers, maintaining inventories, training volunteers, raising funds and distributing free books to the children of D.C. Mr. Jesse Zeeman helped as book keeper and financial advisor. He obtained grants and funding from many foundations including the United Black Fund and D.C. Public Schools. By 1994 there were several more office moves before finally in 2000 Loretta’s residence became the office and storage facility. With her leadership the Reading is Fundamental program was available for nearly 70,000 D.C. school children at more than 200 sites. In addition to her work with Reading is Fundamental, Hanes spent considerable amounts of time conducting genealogical research, including searching public documents, family histories and cemetery records. In the course of her research she discovered that a celebration was held on April 16, 1901 for the Emancipation of the Washington, D.C. slaves, who had had been freed by President Lincoln one year before the Emancipation Proclamation. Hanes sought to re-establish the celebration of freeing the Washington D.C. slaves by soliciting support from the government, local organizations, businesses, churches and schools. Beginning in 1991 she organized an Emancipation Day Celebration at All Souls Church, followed in 1992 by a program with The National Park Service on April 16th at Freedom Plaza on Pennsylvania Avenue. Planning for the 130th Anniversary of the Proclamation, Loretta convinced the National Archives to display the document from December 31, 1992 thru January 4, 1993. By 1996, the Archives displayed all 5 pages due to the overwhelming response of the public during the preceding three years. (By January 2014, only a facsimile was displayed at the Archives, preserving the original). Mayor Anthony Williams signed legislation on January 4, 2005 making the Emancipation Day for the slaves of Washington, D.C., an official public holiday in the District. Loretta Carter Hanes died on August 21, 2016 at the age of ninety. A service in her honor was held at All Souls Church, Unitarian, 16th & Harvard Streets, on December 3, 2016. Scope and Content: The Loretta Carter Hanes collection comprises Loretta Carter Hanes Personal and Family History, 1749-2004; District of Columbia Reading is Fundamental records; Emancipation Day records, relating both to the establishment and celebration of Emancipation Day; and Loretta’s extensive collection of publications on topics such as general Black History, D.C. churches, and D.C. public schools. Arrangement Note: The Reading is Fundamental records and Emancipation Day records were in many cases inseparable from the creator’s personal records. While initially envisioned as two separate collections (Loretta Carter Hanes papers, MS 549, and Reading is Fundamental records, MS 0766), in 2010 the two were integrated and processing continued as a single, multifaceted collection.

A MESSAGE FROM SUPERVISOR STORCK Today is a great day to be a Mount Vernon District resident,and before you scroll any further, I'd like to share with you two excitingdevelopments that occurred at the July 25th Board of Supervisors meeting. Novus Kings Crossing, a proposal to redevelop a 5.29-acre site in the Penn Daw Community Business Center, was unanimously approved by the Board. The developer will construct a high- quality, mixed-use multi-family building with 350 units and unique onsite park amenities. This new development with Cafritz Interests and Novus Residences creates a unique opportunity to enhance revitalization on Richmond Highway, bring development partners to our corridor, and create an economic investment in our community. The project aligns closely with our goals of Embark Richmond Highway, which calls for increased density around the Community Business Centers to support Bus Rapid Transit and shows that the Richmond Highway corridor is pivoting to the 21st century. Also, after working closely with county staff over the past few months, I was pleased to announce that Fairfax County acquired 2.32 acres of land located at 6318 Quander Road in the Mount Vernon District.

It has been chosen to complement the DC Public Schools curriculum during this time of sheltering at home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Washington History magazine is an essential teaching tool,” says Bill Stevens, a D.C. public charter school teacher. “In the 19 years I’ve been teaching D.C. history to high school students, my scholars have used Washington History to investigate their neighborhoods, compete in National History Day, and write plays based on historical characters. They’ve grappled with concepts such as compensated emancipation, the 1919 riots, school integration, and the evolution of the built environment of Washington, D.C.

Washington History authors explore D.C. from the earliest days of the city to 20 years ago, covering neighborhoods, heroes and she-roes, businesses, health, arts and culture, architecture, immigration, city planning, and compelling issues that unite us and divide us.

Redevelopment programs that draw upon existing arts and cultural assets have been supported and identified by planners as a strategy of local economic development (Stern & Seifert, 2007; Wherry, 2011). However, critiques of cultural preservation as a form of economic development argue that the norms and goals of such planning efforts and their impact on existing residents require further evaluation. For example, planning scholars find that cultural preservation may reinforce both existing spatial divides and forms of social exclusion (Grams, 2010; Zukin, 2010). At the same time, the recognition of ethnic and minority heritage by non-local forces has been identified by some scholars as an opportunity to further the multicultural transformation of public history as well as locally sustainable community development that benefits the neighborhood’s original inhabitants (Hurley, 2010; Lin, 2010).
