Public Discussions monuments speak THE LEE-JACKSON WINDOWS wednesday, october 26, 2016, 7 pm washington national cathedral LETTER FROM THE DEAN Dear friends, It is my pleasure to welcome you to Washington National Cathedral, and to thank you for joining us as we undertake the important work of racial reconciliation that God has called us to do at this moment in our national life. As you probably know, the Lee-Jackson windows that bring us together tonight have been the topic of considerable debate and discussion; it’s my prayer that we will continue this dialogue with open hearts and open minds. These windows—and the questions they raise—give us an extraordinary opportunity to learn more about ourselves, our collective history and the perhaps uncomfortable places to which God is calling us. Yes, these windows are about our history, but they are also so much about our future. How shall we move forward, together? How shall we learn from each other, together? How shall we use these windows to write a new narrative of our history, together? The task before us is to discern, together, how best to seize this moment in our national and civic life. Tonight, you’ll hear from the Cathedral’s canon theologian, the Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas, and others. Canon Douglas has described this process as journeying together into the pit and coming out together on the other side. At times, that journey can seem fraught with peril. It can be messy. It can be uncomfortable. But yet, our prayer is that we emerge from that pit with a newfound sense of mission, a new understanding of ourselves and our history, and a renewed energy to help lead this nation toward a moment of restoration and reconciliation. This journey will not be completed tonight. We invite you to participate in future dialogues, to tell your truths about our shared history as we listen to others share theirs, and to offer your ideas about the future we are building together. So thank you for coming. Thank you for journeying into the pit with us. Thank you for your openness. Thank you for the gifts and experiences that each of you bring to this process. May God richly bless you, and this Cathedral, as we continue this work together. Faithfully, The Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith Cathedral Dean ABOUT THE PROGRAM In 2015, immediately following the Charleston massacre, then-Dean Gary Hall called for the removal of two stained glass windows in the Cathedral that honor Confederate Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. After a year of exploration by an appointed task force, the Cathedral made the decision to remove the image of the Confederate battle flag from these two windows and to embark on a program of robust discussion and engagement on race and the Church. Tonight’s panel represents the first of several public discussions on the Jackson-Lee Windows, the legacy of slavery, Confederate monuments and the Cathedral’s responsibility to address a history that is, in some ways, as present to us today as the stained glass windows in the fabric of the Cathedral. This program is underwritten by gifts given in honor of the Very Rev. Gary Hall in thanksgiving for his leadership and prophetic voice during his tenure at Washington National Cathedral. PARTICIPANTS the rev. dr. kelly brown douglas is the Susan D. Morgan Distinguished Professor of Religion at Goucher College in Baltimore and is the canon theologian at Washington National Cathedral.

He earned his B.A. in history from Mary Washington College, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the College of William and Mary. dr. rex m. ellis is the associate director for curatorial affairs at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) at the Smithsonian Institution and is charged with planning, developing, directing and managing all curatorial and education and outreach programs and activities.

ABBREVIATED HISTORY OF THE LEE-JACKSON WINDOWS 1931–1944 Correspondence between Bishop James Freeman (bishop of Washington, 1923–1944), a variety of Cathedral leaders and representatives of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), recommending a plaque honoring General Robert E. Lee in the Cathedral. 1947–1949 Dean John Suter (Cathedral dean, 1944–1950) recommends that the UDC join other organizations to fund a bay in the nave as a memorial of General Lee and one other person. A funding proposal is defeated at the UDC National convention in 1948 due to concerns about who would be memorialized in the window adjacent to Lee. The proposal passes in 1949. 1951–1952 General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson is selected as the subject of the second window, and donor James Sheldon agrees to match UDC funds to complete funds necessary to build the bay. Design of the windows begins. 1953 Dean Francis Sayre (Cathedral dean, 1951–1978) officiates at the dedication of the Lee-Jackson Bay, held in concurrence with the UDC National Convention. STAINED GLASS WINDOWS IN THE CATHEDRAL The Cathedral nave contains three levels of stained glass windows. On the top, or clerestory, level are windows depicting stories of the Bible, moving eastward from the Creation Rose Window in the west through stories from the Old and New Testaments (such as the story of Noah and the flood). The middle, or main arcade, level windows depict stories of people who expressed their faith through secular works, such as religious musicians and composers. Finally, the lowest level outer aisle windows contain windows related to the themes of the individual “bay” areas funded by donors. The Lee-Jackson Windows are on this lowest level.

  • Building Stones of the National Mall
    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.

  • Head Diversity Officer
    Position Specification HEAD DIVERSITY OFFICER THE SMITHSONIAN The Smithsonian Institution was established as an independent trust instrumentality of the United States by an Act of Congress in 1846 with a clear mission: the increase and diffusion of knowledge. The Smithsonian employs approximately 6,500 federal civil service and trust-funded staff members, and during normal operations, is supplemented by over 6,000 volunteers, interns, fellows, and visiting scientists annually. With 19 museums, 8 research facilities, and the National Zoo, the Smithsonian has national and international impact in science, research, history, art, and culture. The Smithsonian receives federal appropriations and government grants as well as awards and gifts from private foundations, corporations, and individuals; revenue is also generated from ancillary activities (e.g., memberships, museum shops, licensing). The Institution’s endowment provides additional support. Certain revenues, such as gifts, grants, and contracts, have restricted uses, including support of research or scientific activities. With the exception of the current pandemic-related closures, the Smithsonian annually hosts 25 million visitors in its public facilities (180 million web visitors) and generates more than $170 million in business revenues. Admission is free for the vast majority of Smithsonian venues, so those revenues flow from business activities, membership programs, and media enterprises. POSITION SUMMARY The Smithsonian Institution is seeking a Head Diversity Officer (HDO), who will be part of a leadership team committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive organization in which everyone—regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, gender, sexuality, ability, religion, and other identities—has an opportunity to thrive. As a leadership team dedicated to our mission, we believe that by harnessing the power of a diverse workforce in which people feel included, we can better serve the public, both here in our nation, and around the globe.

  • Sacramental Vision and Rejuvenating Word: Embodying Theological Conversations with a Troubled World
    Lumen et Vita presents its Third Annual Graduate Theology Conference Sacramental Vision and Rejuvenating Word: Embodying Theological Conversations with a Troubled World Saturday, January 30, 2016 9:30am – 5:30pm Boston College School of Theology and Ministry 9 Lake Street, Boston MA 02135 Keynote Speaker: Kelly Brown Douglas, Professor of Religion, Goucher College Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas holds the Susan D. Morgan Professorship of Religion at Goucher College in Baltimore. She is widely published in national and international journals and other publications. As a leading voice in the development of a womanist theology, Essence magazine ​ ​ counts Douglas “among this country’s most distinguished religious thinkers, teachers, ministers, and counselors.” Her groundbreaking and widely used book Sexuality and the Black Church: A Womanist ​ ​ ​ Perspective (1999) was the first to address the issue of homophobia within ​ the black church community. Her latest book, Stand Your Ground: Black ​ ​ Bodies and the Justice of God (2015) examines the challenges of a “Stand ​ Your Ground” culture for the Black Church and all black bodies. Ordained at Ohio’s St. ​ Margaret's Episcopal Church in 1985, she received the Anna Julia Cooper Award by the Union of Black Episcopalians (July 2012) for “her literary boldness and leadership in the development of a womanist theology and discussing the complexities of Christian faith in African­American contexts.” Rev. Douglas was an Associate Priest at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. for over 20 years, and currently serves at the Washington National Cathedral. The conference will include the keynote address and a graduate student response, two breakout sessions of graduate student papers, lunch, and a concluding panel discussion.

  • Washington, D.C. Visitor's Guide
    Washington, D.C. Visitor’s Guide Office of Congresswoman Angie Craig Second District, Minnesota A Note from the Congresswoman Welcome to Washington! I am excited that you have chosen to visit our nation’s capital. My staff and I have put together this guide to help you plan your trip to this historic city. From monuments and museums to restaurants and shopping, there are so many exciting sites to see here in Washington. I encourage you to try to see as much as you can while you are in town. Whether you chose to rent a bike, tour the city by foot, or utilize the DC Metro system, there are a variety of options to help you get around. Some of my favorite attractions are the National Air and Space Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Phillips Collection. I also always love catching a game at the Washington Nationals Stadium (though my loyalty will always be with the Minnesota Twins!). Additionally, the Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial, are some of D.C.’s most popular attractions. There are also nineteen free Smithsonian museums that have something to capture every interest. It’s also great to make a trip to Arlington National Cemetery where you can pay your respects to our fallen veterans and watch the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Washington also has a great food scene. One of my favorite restaurants is Bluejacket, a brewery located in the Navy Yard neighborhood. (need a dish recommendation she likes there or favorite beer).
