  • 'O Say Does That Star-Spangled Banner Yet Wave?'

    Thursday, July 13, 2017 • APG News A5 ‘O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave?’ Patriotism abound where inspiration for national anthem was sewn By Rachel Ponder APG News Though Betsy Ross garners much atten- tion as the creator of the first American flag, she is not the only important seamstress in American history. The Star Spangled Banner Flag House in Baltimore’s Little Italy neighborhood shines light on a different seamstress: the woman who stitched together the flag that inspired FrancisScott Keyto pen the wordsthat would eventually become the U.S. national anthem. Seamstress Mary Young Pickersgill, an experienced flagmaker, was commissioned by Lt. Col. George Armistead, who served as the commander of Fort McHenry in Balti- more, during the Warof1812.According to the National Park Service, in 1813, Armistead ordered a flag “so large that the British will have no difficulty seeing it from a distance.” This “Great Garrison Flag” flew over Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in 1814. The sight of the flag during this battle inspired Key to write the poem the “Defence of Fort M’Henry,” which later became the lyrics for “The Star-Spangled Banner” which became the national anthem in1931. Amanda Shores Davis, executive director of the Star Spangled Banner Flag House, said Pickersgill stitched the 30 by 42-foot flag with the help of several family members and an indentured servant named Grace Wisher for six weeks during the summer of1813. The flag required morethan 400 yardsof English wool bunting fabric. “There is an estimated one million stitches in the flag,” Davis said.

    A Black Women's History of the United States

    PRAISE FOR A BLACK WOMEN’S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES “A powerful and important book that charts the rich and dynamic history of Black women in the United States. It shows how these courageous women challenged racial and gender oppression and boldly asserted their authority and visions of freedom even in the face of resistance. This book is required reading for anyone interested in social justice.” — KEISHA N. BLAIN, author of Set the World on Fire: Black Nationalist Women and the Global Struggle for Freedom “This book is a gift to anyone interested in a more complete—a more truthful—story about the United States. By starting the history about Black women on this land with us as free people and as people agitating for our freedom, by prioritizing all Black women’s voices and coming up to the present day, Dr. Berry and Dr. Gross illuminate greater possibilities for our collective freedom dreams and struggles for collective liberation.” — CHARLENE A. CARRUTHERS, author of Unapologetic: A Black, Queer, and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements “Remarkably comprehensive and accessible, introductory and sophisticated, two groundbreaking historians have come together to produce a groundbreaking new history of Black women in the United States. To know the story of the United States is to know this indispensable story.” — IBRAM X. KENDI, author of Stamped from the Beginning and How to Be an Antiracist “At a time when some women’s voices seem to be more amplified than ever, the Black woman’s voice is still being muted and distorted from the highest level of government, and the autonomy over our bodies is being stripped away, more and more every day.

He was in office only a few years, representative in 1836, gov- ernor 1842-1844, senator from 1857 t0 i860, but his office- holding was by no means a measure of his importance. During nullification times he was the leader of his district and a favored lieutenant of Hayne and Calhoun and Hamil- ton. His unavailing fight for the governorship in 1840 showed that he was one of the strong men of the State. Just at the close of his governorship he wrote to Thomas Clarkson, the British anti-slavery agitator, two letters in defense of African slavery as it existed.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.
