  • Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; a Literary Weapon
    PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF ALGERIA Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research University of Tlemcen Faculty of Letters and Languages Department of English Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl; a Literary Weapon Against Slavery Dissertation submitted to the Department of English as a partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Literature and Civilization Presented by Supervised by Ms.Tasnim BELAIDOUNI Ms.Meriem MENGOUCHI BOARD OF EXAMINERS Dr. Wassila MOURO Chairwoman Ms. Meriem MENGOUCHI Supervisor Dr. Frid DAOUDI Examiner Academic Year: 2016/2017 Dedications To those who believed in me To those who helped me through hard times To my Mother, my family and my friends I dedicate this work ii Acknowledgements Immense loads of gratitude and thanks are addressed to my teacher and supervisor Ms. Meriem MENGOUCHI; this work could have never come to existence without your vivacious guidance, constant encouragement, and priceless advice and patience. My sincerest acknowledgements go to the board of examiners namely; Dr. Wassila MOURO and Dr. Frid DAOUDI My deep gratitude to all my teachers iii Abstract Harriet Ann Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl seemed not to be the only literary work which tackled the issue of woman in slavery. However, this autobiography is the first published slave narrative written in the nineteenth century. In fact, the primary purpose of this research is to dive into Incidents in order to examine the author’s portrayal of a black female slave fighting for her freedom and her rights. On the other hand, Jacobs shows that despite the oppression and the persecution of an enslaved woman, she did not remain silent, but she strived to assert herself.

Robert Morris (1823-82) was the second African Amer- ican to pass the bar exam in the United States. An ardent abolitionist, during the 1840s he was the only practicing black lawyer in Boston. In 1849 he represented Ben- jamin Roberts, whose daughter had been denied entry to the white public schools. Charles Sumner eventu- ally argued this case before the Massachusetts Supreme Court. During the 1850s Morris participated in three daring rescues of fugitive slaves who were being held in custody for return to the South. After the Civil War he converted to Catholicism, which was then dominated by the Irish. Both before and after the war a majority of Morris’ clients were Irish.

  • Weston's Walking Club
    “Weston, Weston, Rah-Rah-Rah!” ©2012 P.S. Marshall CHAPTER 28 WESTON’S WALKING CLUB In the late portion of December, 1907, and the early part of January, 1908, Weston would join up with New York’s Evening World to form Weston’s Walking Club . Every word written in that newspaper about the event, including some illustrations, is transcribed below… The Evening World , December 21, 1907 WESTON IN TOWN; SAYS WALKING IS “NOT A SCIENCE” Glad to Be Home Again — Tells Interviewer That Walking Is a Test of Endurance. EDWARD PAYSON WESTON walked up Broadway from Wall Street, to the Fifth Avenue Hotel last night with the same snappy vigorous stride that carried him from Portland to Chicago. He steps never longer than twenty-eight inches and his average is about twenty-four. Descriptions of hat, clothes, shoes, and general size were useless, for the moment the young looking old man of sixty-nine, with his white hair, moustache, and bright brown eyes, was observed swinging through the crowds at Twenty-Third Street and Fifth Avenue, anyone would have known it was Weston. Without turning to the right or the left, he walked briskly up to the hotel desk, asked for his mail and the man who had waited there nine long hours was rewarded. “Never felt better in my life,” was his cheery greeting, and the men there who had known him forty years said that he looked ten times better than when he started on the long walk across the Eastern and Middle States in October. “I am always glad to get back to New York,” he said.

  • Edward Payson Weston - Weston the Pedestrian
    EDWARD PAYSON WESTON - WESTON THE PEDESTRIAN We tend to think of England as the home of Pedestrianism and so it is. But during the 1800’s, America produced its own wonderful long distance walkers. The best of them was without doubt Edward Payson Weston (1839- 1929) whose performances set the walking world alight. This article by Mara Bovsun sums up his wonderful career which spanned over 50 years. It was a box of hothouse flowers, a gift from the wife of the editor of the New York Herald to the wife of the postmaster general that started it all for Edward Payson Weston in February 1859. The flowers had been sent from the editor's residence and were to be picked up at the newspaper's downtown office, then whisked to Washington by train. Weston, a skinny 19-year-old copyboy, forgot that he'd been given the job of unloading the box. The delivery wagon was well back on its way uptown before he realized his oversight. In a panic, he lit out after the runaway buds, determined to overtake them on foot. Amid catcalls from his colleagues, Weston - who had always been sickly - took off at a tremendous clip. Lucky for him, traffic was heavy and the wagon had been creeping along. Nevertheless, he had to hightail it all the way to 70th and Broadway before he caught up. For saving the day, young Weston's pay was doubled and he was given the chance to write about his heroics in the newspaper. But the adventure gave the aspiring newsman more than an extra $3 a week.

Yokes and Chains A Journey to Forgiveness & Freedom A n Educational Documentary DRAFT Synopsis For millions of Americans the groundbreaking 1977 broadcast of the television series “ROOTS” transformed the way they looked at themselves, their families and their nation. The enthralling saga of enslaved West African Kunta Kinte and his descendants gave African Americans a sense of pride in their heritage beyond slavery. For white Americans, it taught them a history they had never learned in school and brought about a greater sensitivity and awareness of slavery. Broadcast follow- ing America's Bicentennial, it sparked intense discussions on U.S. history and race relations. Controversial, thought-provoking and highly entertaining, it was television at its best.
