C ivil war 1863 Rochester was a center for abolitionist sympathies. It was home to Frederick Douglass, the former slave, writ- er, and brilliant orator, and where he published his anti- slavery newspaper, the North Star. Harriet Tubman, also a former slave, courageously led groups of escaping slaves to Douglass’s home and office, both stops on the Underground Railroad. Quakers Isaac and Amy Post were outspoken leaders of the movement. When the Civil War broke out, Rochester soldiers were sent to fight for the Union cause. Activities were organized on the home front to raise money and supplies to provide medical care for the injured. The Christmas Bazaar of 1863 was organized by the Ladies’ Hospital Relief Association, represented by an interfaith contingent of volunteers…Surely the most unusual item seen there was Union army leader Ulysses S. Grant’s donation of a lock of hair. Pictured: Hale Woodruff, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln Discussing Emancipation (1942–43). Marion Stratton Gould Fund.

Centennial 100 Countdown Albert Paley shows no signs of slowing down. Over a career PALEY spanning more than four decades, he’s completed more than 60 monumental commis- sions for sites from Washington DC to Houston to Los Angeles. This spring, he shipped off 13 new works to midtown Manhattan, where they’ll be on view along Park Avenue through November 8. And now, he’s hard at work on Soliloquy, a 25-foot polychrome stainless steel sculpture that will be installed in August by the Memorial Art Gallery’s Goodman Street driveway. “Albert is one of Rochester’s most notable artists and, at the same time, an American master,” says director Grant Holcomb. “We felt it was imperative that he be part of the Centennial Sculpture Park.” With public sculpture, says the artist, there are a lot of concerns beyond structural engineering. “How does it relate to landscape design? How does it relate to the building? What’s it like when someone walks up to it?” The ultimate goal is a work that “creates its own sense of place.” Left: Albert Paley in his studio.

    Catherine Blaine http://columbia.washingtonhistory.org/lessons/blaineMSHS.aspx SEARCH: Home Visit Us Get Involved Education Research WA Collections Heritage Services The Society The Journey of Catharine Paine Blaine FOR MIDDLE/HIGH SCHOOL Summary: Women played a vital role in the settlement of the West, both in the creation of frontier towns and in promoting political ideals. Many of the women who settled in the West brought with them ideals that they had learned at home in the East Coast. Reform movements that had begun back East often took root in the territories in which these women came to live. This lesson plan examines the life of Catharine Paine Blaine, missionary, schoolteacher, and women’s rights activist who traveled from Seneca Falls, New York to Washington Territory in the 1850s. Students will examine primary sources and make connections to their own experiences, mapping the route that the Blaines took to reach Seattle from Seneca Falls. Using everyday items that Catharine brought with her to the Pacific Northwest, your students will explore how eastern settlers brought both objects and ideas with them as they traveled. Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs): This lesson plan satisfies Washington state standards in Social Studies, Civics, Reading, Writing, and Art. It may also be used to fulfill a Dig Deep Classroom-Based Assessment. This lesson plan also meets New York state’s Social Studies standards 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 3.2, 5.1, and 5.3. Essential Questions for Students: What did Catharine experience when she traveled from New York to Washington Territory? What dangers did women settlers face when moving west? How can people change the places in which they live? What kind of change did Catharine Paine Blaine bring to the Pacific Northwest? What is a reform movement? How did eastern ideas change the lives of people in the West? What were some of the specific problems that American reformers wanted to solve in the late-19th century? Primary Sources for Student Understanding: 1.

    About the Author for INCIDENTS in the LIFE of a SLAVE GIRL

    About the Author for INCIDENTS IN THE LIFE OF A SLAVE GIRL Harriet Ann Jacobs Personal Background “God . gave me a soul that burned for freedom and a heart nerved with determination to suffer even unto death in pursuit of liberty.” In this excerpt from a letter written by Harriet Jacobs to her friend, the abolitionist Amy Post, Jacobs expresses her determination to continue her quest for freedom. Dated October 9, 1853 — less than two years after Jacobs was freed — the letter was written in response to Post’s suggestion that Jacobs tell the story of her abuse and exploitation as an enslaved black woman. Eight years later, in 1861 — the same year that marked the beginning of the Civil War — Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Her- self was published in Boston. According to the chronology of Jacobs’s life compiled by her autobiogra- pher, Jean Fagan Yellin, the events described in Incidents narrated by “Linda Brent” mirror key incidents of Jacobs’ life. Early Years Harriet Ann Jacobs was born at Edenton, North Carolina, in 1813 to Delilah, the daughter of Molly Horniblow (Aunt Martha), the slave of Margaret Horniblow, and to Daniel Jacobs, a carpenter, the slave of Dr. Andrew Knox. When she was only six years old, Jacobs’ mother died, and Jacobs was taken into the household of her mistress, Margaret Horniblow, who taught her to read, spell, and sew. When she was 12, Margaret Horniblow died and willed Harriet to her five-year-old niece, Mary Matilda Norcom (Miss Emily). As a result, Harriet and her brother, John S.
