  • 1 After Slavery & Reconstruction: the Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliogr
    After Slavery & Reconstruction: The Black Struggle in the U.S. for Freedom, Equality, and Self-Realization* —A Bibliography Patrick S. O’Donnell (2020) Jacob Lawrence, Library, 1966 Apologia— Several exceptions notwithstanding (e.g., some titles treating the Reconstruction Era), this bibliography begins, roughly, with the twentieth century. I have not attempted to comprehensively cover works of nonfiction or the arts generally but, once more, I have made— and this time, a fair number of—exceptions by way of providing a taste of the requisite material. So, apart from the constraints of most of my other bibliographies: books, in English, these particular constraints are intended to keep the bibliography to a fairly modest length (around one hundred pages). This compilation is far from exhaustive, although it endeavors to be representative of the available literature, whatever the influence of my idiosyncratic beliefs and 1 preferences. I trust the diligent researcher will find titles on particular topics or subject areas by browsing carefully through the list. I welcome notice of titles by way of remedying any deficiencies. Finally, I have a separate bibliography on slavery, although its scope is well beyond U.S. history. * Or, if you prefer, “self-fulfillment and human flourishing (eudaimonia).” I’m not here interested in the question of philosophical and psychological differences between these concepts (i.e., self- realization and eudaimonia) and the existing and possible conceptions thereof, but more simply and broadly in their indispensable significance in reference to human nature and the pivotal metaphysical and moral purposes they serve in our critical and evaluative exercises (e.g., and after Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, in employing criteria derived from the notion of ‘human capabilities and functionings’) as part of our individual and collective historical quest for “the Good.” However, I might note that all of these concepts assume a capacity for self- determination.

  • 9101 Germantown Avenue St. Michael's Hall, Located on a Large
    St. Michael’s Hall, aka Alfred C. Harrison Country Estate – 9101 Germantown Avenue St. Michael’s Hall, located on a large wooded lot at the corner of Germantown and Sunset Avenues in Chestnut Hill, served as a summertime country retreat for its first sixty years. Between the time the house was built in the late 1850s, and 1924, St. Michael’s Hall was owned by three wealthy industrialists—William Henry Trotter (ownership 1855-1868), Henry Latimer Norris (ownership 1868-1884), and Alfred Craven Harrison (ownership 1884-1924). The Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chestnut Hill purchased the site in 1927, using it first as a school and then as a residence hall for nuns. The nuns vacated the property in September 2020, although it is still currently maintained by the Sisters of St. Joseph. 9101 Germantown Avenue, ca. 1903-1910 Courtesy of Chestnut Hill Conservancy Site Details • Built between 1855 and 1857, the house was originally rectangular in shape, measuring 40 by 43 feet. No architect has been attributed to the original building. • A small wing in the Gothic Revival style was added to the southeast elevation at an unknown date. • A small bay was added to the southwest (Germantown Avenue) elevation in 1896. • In 1899 two large wings in the Italianate style were added to the southeast and northeast elevations by architects Cope & Stewardson. • The 27,500 sq.ft. building sits on a lot of approximately 4 acres zoned RSD3, with 420’ of frontage bounded by Green Tree, Hampton, E Sunset, and Germantown. • The property is considered a “Significant” property in the Chestnut Hill National Register Historic District, but not listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.

The relationship between Yankees and Irish in Boston in the last couple of decades of the nineteenth-century was marked by religious conflict, which explains much about both the defensive nature of Catholicism in Boston and the offensive nature of Irish-American

ELk'.'.PA,I HISTORIC AMERICAN BUILDINGS SURVEY $- LYNNEWOOD HALL HABS No. PA-6146 Location: 920 Spring Avenue, Elkins Park, Montgomery Co., Pennsylvania. Significance: Lynnewood Hall, designed by famed Philadelphia architect Horace Trumbauer in 1898, survives as one of the finest country houses in the Philadelphia area. The 110-room mansion was built for street-car magnate P.A.B. Widener to house his growing family and art collection which would later become internationally renowned. 1 The vast scale and lavish interiors exemplify the remnants of an age when Philadelphia's self-made millionaire industrialists flourished and built their mansions in Cheltenham, apart from the Main Line's old society. Description: Lynnewood Hall is a two-story, seventeen-bay Classical Revival mansion that overlooks a terraced lawn to the south. The house is constructed of limestone and is raised one­ half story on a stone base that forms a terrace around the perimeter of the building. The mansion is a "T" plan with the front facade forming the cross arm of the "T". Enclosed semi­ circular loggias extend from the east and west ends of the cross arm and a three-story wing forms the leg of the 'T' to the north. The most imposing exterior feature is the full-height, five-bay Corinthian portico with a stone staircase and a monumental pediment.

  • NMAP Background 2021-0601
    NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE Bringing All Americans Together Background Proposal for a Bipartisan Presidential Commission To Study National Museum of the American People VISION The National Museum of the American People will present the dramatic story about the making of the American People. Our compelling history, about peoples crossing oceans and continents to come to this land and nation, begins with the first humans in the Western Hemisphere and continues through today. It will celebrate all who became Americans, whether from Europe, Africa, Asia and Pacific Islands or the Americas. It is the greatest epic saga in human history and the museum will endeavor to be one of the most powerful story-telling museums anywhere. It will take visitors along an absorbing, dynamic pathway that becomes rooted in our Constitution. Scholarly based, the museum will help unify the American People and foster civics education. For all Americans, the NMAP will tell their story about becoming an American and the stories of their family, friends, neighbors and coworkers; their tribe; their city, state and region. It will encompass their ethnic, nationality, and minority histories. PLAN The plan calls for a Presidential Commission to study the feasibility of the museum. We are approaching both the White House and Congress to support the study. Following the final feasibility study report, we would seek legislation to create an entity to plan and build the museum and to raise the funds necessary to plan and build it. If the feasibility study is established in 2021 and the museum entity is created soon thereafter, ground could be broken in 2022 and the museum could open in 2028.

  • The Psychology of Puerto Rican Migration. PUB DATE Jan 94 NOTE 117P
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 387 583 UD 030 649 AUTHOR Prewitt Diaz, Joseph O. TITLE The Psychology of Puerto Rican Migration. PUB DATE Jan 94 NOTE 117p. PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC05 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Ad:ustm2nt (to Environment); Cultural Background; Cultural Differences; Elementary Secondary Education; Hispanic Americans; *Immigrants; *Migration; Migration Patterns; Personality Traits; *Psychology; Puerto Rican Culture; *puerto Ricans; United States History ABSTRACT 'The psychology of the Puerto Rican migrant to the United States mainland is explored. Puerto Ricans have been migrating to the U.S. mainland and returning to Puerto Rico for more than 125 years, and, in fact, approximately 57% of all Puerto Ricans have migrated at one time or another. The migrant experience, including the circular migration experienced by many Puerto Ricans, has been recorded in popular Puerto Rican literature. "Impressionistic" data from informal interviews has confirmed the patterns of migration depicted in literature. Five stages of migration are identified as: (1) the anticipation before migration; (2)tile act of migration; (3) overcompensation in the early period following migration;(4) decompensation after the initial period of euphoria; and (5) eventual adaptation. The transgenerational impacts of migration are traced. Few,if any, Puerto Rican migrants have migrated alone; all exist in the context of Puerto Rican culture.
