One of the few jazz artists Norm, Kathy and Ned Forbush in the world who uses the bass clarinet as his exclusive solo Lillian Freudenberger instrument, Todd was inspired by jazz great artists such as Fred Hinze and Georgia Coleman Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Julie Craft and Blaine Keener John Coltrane. He and his jazz quintet delight appreciative Jen Hobbins audiences with their special brand of what he calls “modern Bob and Ann Marie Ketron straight-ahead jazz” that’s both fiery and intense, but also Wendell and Sally Leimbach with “a strong lyrical sensitivity.” David Macfarlane Barbara and Chuck Mallonee Though not a native Baltimorean, Todd studied at Loyola Fred and Diana Motz College while also volunteering for Habitat for Humanity in Myles Perkins and Christina Lindgren West Baltimore’s Sandtown-Winchester community.

  • Samuel Hopkins
    Samuel Hopkins 10May2006 Mame Warren, Interviewer Warren: Sam Hopkins, you have known Johns Hopkins all your life. Tell me why you're so interested in Johns Hopkins. Hopkins: Well, the first thing is that all of our family loved Johns Hopkins. He was just very good to his relatives. Johns Hopkins was good to his parents. His mother lived with him most of her life and one of his sisters who was a widow lived with him and kept house for him. But I was descended :from Samuel Hopkins, was one of his nephews and when he died he left all of his nephews and nieces about $100,000 each, so everybody in the family loved him and admired him, and he was good to them, and they, I think they all very much appreciated it. So he was sort of a role model for all of us, and we were sort of brought up to try to be somewhat like Johns Hopkins and try to do what he did to be helpful to the community. Warren: As you were growing up, were there-did you know anyone who have actually known Johns Hopkins? Hopkins: Well, I'm sure I did but I wasn't too conscious of it. I'm sure my grandmother who I knew-Grandmother Hopkins knew him, but she died when I was three or four years old. But there were others who knew him, but they all-the family liked him, but there were a lot of people in the community didn't like Johns Hopkins.

Cultivating Empire: Indians, Quakers, and the Negotiation of American Imperialism, 1754-1846 Abstract This dissertation examines the ways in which indigenous peoples and missionaries, specifically Quakers (Society of Friends), contributed to the development of the American empire in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The U.S. civilization plan, in which Friends were central participants, offered agricultural education to American Indian men and, for women, instruction in the “domestic arts” as part of a broader mission complex. Far from being simply a means to “assimilate the Indians,” the mission complex was central to U.S. imperial and economic development, and its methods, endurance, and character grew out of a particular historical moment and as the result of a negotiation of Indians’ and Euroamericans’ goals and motivations. In order to investigate that negotiation, “Cultivating Empire” follows the evolution of diplomacy and agricultural mission work in the Ohio Country as a case study, and it draws upon individuals’ journals, family papers, account books and receipts, as well as missionary correspondences, meeting minutes from the Society of Friends, and various papers of federal, state, and territorial governments.

    “WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM” : BLACK SPIRITUALITY AND THE RISE OF THE ANTISLAVERY MOVEMENT, 1740-1841 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Dianne Wheaton Cappiello August 2011 © 2011 Dianne Wheaton Cappiello “WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM ”: BLACK SPIRITUALITY AND THE RISE OF THE ANTISLAVERY MOVEMENT, 1740-1841 Dianne Wheaton Cappiello, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation traces the evolution of black abolitionism in colonial North America and the United States from 1740 to 1841. Focusing primarily on reformers, theologians, and activists, it examines specifically the ways in which spiritual beliefs shaped black opposition to slavery. It places black abolitionists in an international context and analyzes the transatlantic connections they developed and maintained in their battle against slavery and prejudice. Inspired by eighteenth-century pietistic revival, a West African cosmological heritage, and the Enlightenment emphasis on natural rights, men and women of African descent began protesting slavery publicly during the colonial era. With the onset of the American Revolution, they located republican egalitarianism within a sacred framework and underscored the contradiction inherent in a slaveholding polity allegedly predicated on Protestant Christianity. After 1800, many black activists adapted the pietistic model of itinerancy and evangelism to agitate against both slavery and racial discrimination. During the 1820s, black antislavery reformers, disillusioned by the nation’s rejection of abolition and angered by the American Colonization Society’s 1817 plan to send free blacks to Africa, embraced more radical measures.

    Religious Society of Friends’ Historical Relationship with African Americans Vanessa Julye and Donna McDaniel This text is a combination of the two yearly meeting talks, each of which emphasized different people and events from that particular yearly meeting: Baltimore Yearly Meeting opening lecture, July 27, 2004. New England Yearly Meeting keynote address, August 7, 2004. Religious Society of Friends’ historical relationship with African Americans Fit for Freedom, Not for Friendship writers Donna McDaniel and Vanessa Julye share some of the findings from their three years of research and writing. This text combines presentations at Baltimore and New England Yearly Meetings. Here is an excerpt from the epistle produced by New England Yearly Meeting: Our opening speakers, Vanessa Julye of Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and Donna McDaniel of NEYM, ministered to us from their leading to research the relationship of Quakers of European descent and African American Quakers and non-Quakers. Their address dispelled the myth of widespread Quaker commitment to racial equality. We have too often been led by only a courageous few who were willing to answer God’s call to justice despite the disapproval and censure of the broader Quaker community. Many New England Friends benefited directly from slavery: commercial and other relationships blinded Friends’ eyes and hardened their hearts to its human horror. Friends of African descent were denied membership in meetings and relegated to benches at the back of our meetinghouses. In recent years, we seem
