The carriage house is a mixed-use structure and contains museum offices, conference space, a staff kitchen, a staff library, and storage space. Significance: Completed in 1874, the Mark Twain Carriage House is a multi-purpose barn with a coachman's apartment designed by architects Edward Tuckerman Potter and Alfred H, Thorp as a companion structure to the residence for noted American author and humorist Samuel Clemens and his family. Its massive size and its generous accommodations for the coachman mark this structure as an unusual carriage house among those intended for a single family's use. The building has the wide overhanging eaves and half-timbering typical of the Chalet style popular in the late 19th century for cottages, carriage houses, and gatehouses.

  • Theological Field Education As a Bridge Across Disciplines
    religions Article Theological Field Education as a Bridge across Disciplines Kristina I. Lizardy-Hajbi Iliff School of Theology, Denver, CO 80210, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Theological field education—also known as contextual education—operates as the explic- itly embodied nexus of seminary-based learning, placing both practical theological and broader theological, religious, and/or spiritual educational frameworks in dialogue with one’s experiences within a particular site context. Drawing upon the example of the events that took place in March 1965 at the Edmund Pettus Bridge connecting Selma to Montgomery, as well as the bridge’s enduring function as a material and symbolic site of transformation, connections are made to the ways that theological field education bridges both practical theology and other areas of theological education, generally and as actualized specifically within one theological school’s field education program, through three overarching themes: Embodiment, reflection, and formation. In the acts of bridging that occur in each of these areas, points of commonality are discussed and illustrated. Finally, initial suggestions for further bridging between disparate academic fields and theological field education are offered toward the cultivation of a more integrative, transformative curriculum. Keywords: theological field education; contextual education; practical theology; formation; theologi- cal reflection; embodiment 1. Introduction March 24, 2020 marked 55 years since roughly 25,000 protestors successfully crossed Alabama’s Edmund Pettus Bridge connecting Selma to Montgomery after two previous attempts ending in police attacks and bloodshed. Congressman John Lewis, one of the Citation: Lizardy-Hajbi, Kristina I. march’s leaders who nearly died on the bridge in 1965, worked tirelessly in subsequent 2021.

  • Selma Civil Rights Movement
    50 Landmarks for a 50th Anniversary The Selma Civil Rights Trail 50 LANDMARKS FOR A 50TH ANNIVERSARY In the summer of 1965, Congress passed and President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, one of the most momentous civil rights laws in American history. Events that had happened in Selma earlier that year pushed Congress to create this landmark law. African American citizens took courageous actions that not only changed their lives and communities but that also reshaped the United States, giving all citizens a new taste of freedom and equality. This driving tour of landmarks associated with Selma’s Civil Rights Movement includes 50 properties—some well recognized from the events of 50 years ago but many others that speak to the deeper story of the struggle for civil rights. All of these places help tell the whole story of what the Civil Rights Movement meant to Selma, to Alabama, and to the nation. Many places welcome visitors but others remain private. Visitors should respect property rights and only view those buildings from the city sidewalks. 1. National Voting Rights Museum and Institute 6 U.S. Highway 80 www.nvrmi.com Open daily from Monday to Thursday and on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday by appointment. Admission charged. This museum focuses on the stories, people, and events of the 1960s and the conflicts such as Bloody Sunday on the adjacent Edmund Pettus Bridge and the resulting Selma-to-Montgomery March. 2. Selma-to-Montgomery March Memorials 5 U.S. Highway 80 On the north side of the highway across from the National Voting Rights Museum are interpretive markers and commemorative sculptures about the Selma-to- Montgomery March and leaders such as John Lewis, Hosea Williams, Amelia Boynton Robinson, and Marie Foster.
