Born on April 5, 1919, the Lynn native is rich with history. As the only daughter of six kids and a former General Electric employee of 41 years, she’s the kind of woman who never took no for an answer. “I did about every job at GE, from the assembly line to becoming an inspector,” said the current Salem resident. “I couldn’t get along with any of the men.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Kent Academic Repository Excavating Occluded Histories at Destrehan Plantation: Afro-Creole Resistance from ‘Marguerite’ to Beyoncé Destrehan Plantation in St Charles Parish, Louisiana, is a crypt replete with phantoms of the Creole past. Like many of the grand, white houses dotted along the Mississippi River Road, it articulates a narrative of Creole history—a history composed of intersections, collisions, confrontations and exchanges between a myriad of cultures in the colonial Atlantic—that privileges the experiences of elite, white landowners and their legatees. This narrative conspicuously occludes the diverse, metamorphic, and insurgent stories of the Afro-Creole culture that lay at the heart of the plantation infrastructure. Using Destrehan as a point of analytical departure, this article therefore proposes a critical reassessment of plantation sites and their hidden histories in an effort to promote new ways of seeing that foreground Afro-Creole experience and imagine routes to resistance that transcended the historical moment, and continue to resonate in the contemporary African American imaginary. In so doing, it attempts to peel back the multiple layers of occlusion, obfuscation, and erasure embedded within the Creole plantation infrastructure. It examines the narrative of the Creole plantation (as a site and sight of memory) and its various mechanisms of telling, especially through its artefacts, written histories, and docent-led tours,

  • One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” Exhibit
    John Read is the creator and curator of the “One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” exhibit. A freelance cartoonist, John also teaches cartooning to children and is the publisher and editor of Stay Tooned! Magazine, considered the trade journal of the craft. The Comic Mode The comic strip provides a colorful and humorous respite from the serious and often tragic news that precedes it. There are many reasons for reading the “funny pages”; from the basic need to be entertained, to the desire to escape for a moment into what seems a playful combination of a joke and a sequence of images that illustrate the nonsense and play that generates it. Yet, what really constitutes the “comic” in a comic strip? Are they simply funny, as in Blondie, Garfield or Hagar the Horrible? Or do we sense underlying tones of irony, satire, political and social commentary as evidenced in Doonesbury, Non Sequitur, and Between Friends? How are we to understand the double entendre, the sting of wit or the twist of the absurd that infuses so many contemporary comic strips? It would seem that as in dreams, there are many levels to the comic mode. On the first take, the superficial or manifest appeal generates a smile or laughter. But as with many dreams and good jokes, there is the second take, a latent need to establish or defy meaning as embedded within the structure of the images themselves. The paradox or playfulness of the comic strip partially lies in discovering the truth in the nonsensical aspects of day-to-day living.
