He was a giant among men, physically and spiritually, believed to have stood at least seven feet in height. A powerful medicine man and chieftain of the Penacook tribe, Passaconeway was elected bashaba (emperor) of a confederation of tribes united to stem an aggressive Mohawk nation. In his twilight years this great man traveled in the Maine-New Hampshire-Massachusetts region where he was revered as the mouthpiece of the Great Spirit by both Native and European folk alike. Tradition stays that Passaconeway was a genius, gifted with magical or divine powers employed in his peacemaking efforts. His true power, however, lay in his ability to kindle the fire of peace and brotherly love in the hearts of all irrespective of race or tribal restrictions.

  • Labor History Loses a Great Voice: Jim Green
    Labor History Loses a Great Voice: Jim Green By ILHS Vice President Mike Matejka Bringing history to life, particularly transporting it from the lecture hall to the streets, is no small task. Labor History lost a true leader in that effort, Dr. James Green of the University of Massachusetts, who died of leukemia on June.23. Taking labor's dramatic stories, Green was able to translate them into accessible and popular books, including his "Death in the Haymarket" and most recently, "The Devil is Here in THese Hills: West Virginia's Coal Miners and Their Battle for Freedom." This book was the foundation for the Public Television documentary last February, "The Mine Wars." In the 1970s he assisted Barbara Koepple with her award-winning documentary "Harlan County, USA" and PBS for its "The Great Depression" series. Green happily shared his time and talents with the Illinois Labor History Society, including an appearance as guest speaker at the 2010 ILHS Union Hall of Honor. He worked closely with the ILHS, its members and officers, while developing his Haymarket book. Green was a very patient and gentle soul, who moved history beyond academic halls into union halls. His 2000 book, "Taking History to Heart," told his own journey, making labor history accessible and meaningful to a general audience. His roots were in Illinois, growing up in Oak Park and then Carpentersville, where his father was a math teacher and his mother a school clerical worker. His grandparents included a railroad switchman and a clothing factory worker, people with stories he took to heart.

  • Why Teach Labor History? by James Green, Fred Glass American
    Why Teach Labor History? By James Green any retired union members I know worry that their struggles have been Mforgotten. They fear that few now understand the sacrifices of their forebears who fought for the eight- hour day and the 40-hour week— “the folks who brought you the week- end,” as one union bumper sticker reads. Like the character in Milan Kundera’s novel,1 who believes the struggle against power “is the struggle of memory against forgetting,” the elder generation of union members and retirees I have spoken with believe that ignorance of labor history will disem- power today’s workers and students.

    LABOR AND WORKLIFE PROGRAM ANNUAL REPORT JUNE 2017 Part One: Report of Activities Summary of Academic Year: 2016-2017 1. Executive Summary The Labor and Worklife Program is Harvard University’s forum for research and teaching on the world of work and its implications for society. The LWP’s activities are in four program areas: the Harvard Trade Union Program (an executive mid-career program for union leaders founded in 1942), the Pensions and Capital Stewardship Project (which focuses on research and public policy concerned with financial security in retirement and pension fund governance, management, and investment), the Science and Engineering Workforce Project (SEWP) (a program mobilizing a dedicated network of researchers for advancing social science understanding of science and engineering), and the Changing Labor Markets Project (CLMP). Additionally, the Labor and Worklife Program administers and awards fellowships on labor and the world of work for the Jacob Wertheim Research Fellowship for the Betterment of Industrial Relationships and the Jerry Wurf Memorial Fund. In all four areas of our work, the LWP has registered significant achievements this year. The Harvard Trade Union Program (HTUP) held its 106th session in spring 2017 with 45 participants, including 16 students from 6 different countries. It continues to be the premier labor education program in the country, while providing a unique opportunity for faculty and students to meet with emerging labor leaders from the US and other advanced industrial countries. The Science and Engineering Workforce Project (SEWP) continued its annual seminar series on issues of concern to the science and engineering workforce. This year’s fall and spring seminars were co-sponsored by the Science Based Business Seminar at the Harvard Graduate School of Business (formerly known as the Science Based Business Initiative at HBS).

  • 1 Natchez in Saint Domingue, 1731-1791 in 1731, a French Army
    Smyth – Draft – Please do not cite or circulate Natchez in Saint Domingue, 1731-1791 In 1731, a French army in colonial Louisiana and their Choctaw allies attacked Natchez towns along the banks of the Mississippi River, one hundred and seventy miles north of New Orleans. After days of battle, hundreds of Natchez fled the area but four hundred and thirty eight Natchez surrendered to the French, who then proceeded to enslave them and send them to Saint Domingue.1 This paper explores the process of Natchez enslavement by the French and examines trace archival sources from Saint Domingue about Natchez and other indigenous slaves. This paper comes out of my larger project on Natchez history, which is primarily focused on what I’m calling a Natchez diaspora spread across the colonial southeast. My dissertation research shows how Natchez communities stayed connected through an indigenous diasporic network in which they adapted to living with other Native Americans such as the Creeks and Cherokees during the eighteenth century.2 While much of my study of the Natchez is about how they survived as self-identifying communities of Natchez people in North America to the 21st century, this paper focuses on the enslaved Natchez in Saint Domingue, who, over time, no longer identified as Natchez. This study of the Natchez in Saint Domingue adds to our general understanding of the history of the French Atlantic, early modern slavery, and specifically to Natchez history. After hundreds of Natchez were enslaved and sent to Saint Domingue and never returned, the Natchez never forgot this injustice of French violence.

    DEFENDING AND PROVISIONING THE CATAWBA NATION: AN ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE MID-EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY COMMUNITIES AT NATION FORD Mary Elizabeth Fitts A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Anthropology. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: C. Margaret Scarry R.P. Stephen Davis Brett H. Riggs Silvia Tomášková Margaret Wiener Kathleen DuVal © 2015 Mary Elizabeth Fitts ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARY ELIZABETH FITTS: Defending and Provisioning the Catawba Nation: An Archaeology of the Mid-Eighteenth-Century Communities at Nation Ford (Under the Direction of C. Margaret Scarry) In the mid-eighteenth century, several Catawba communities were situated near Nation Ford, where the main trading path that traversed the southern Appalachian Piedmont crossed the Catawba River. Men from these communities had adopted a militaristic strategy of serving as auxiliaries for the English colonies. The alliance between the Catawba Nation and South Carolina, in particular, precipitated a set of processes that transformed the conditions of daily life near Nation Ford. Two of these processes were settlement aggregation and the incorporation of native refugee communities. In this dissertation I consider whether the political process of centralization through which refugees were incorporated into the Catawba Nation was accompanied by parallel changes in economic organization, particularly with regard to foodways. I also examine the impacts of settlement aggregation on the formulation of community identities and the farming and foraging practices of Catawba women. In addressing these topics, I consult primary documents to assess the character of the alliance between the English colonies and the Catawba Nation, and to trace the development of the Catawba’s role as auxiliaries.
