The CLI is an evaluated inventory of all landscapes having historical significance that are listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are otherwise managed as cultural resources through a public planning process and in which the NPS has or plans to acquire any legal interest. The CLI identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved CLIs when concurrence with the findings is obtained from the park superintendent and all required data fields are entered into a national database. In addition,

    Not as Supplicants, but as Citizens: Race, Party, and African American Politics, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1864-1903 by Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2011 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Martha S. Jones, Chair Professor Kevin K. Gaines Professor William J. Novak Professor Emeritus J. Mills Thornton III Associate Professor Matthew J. Countryman Copyright Millington William Bergeson-Lockwood 2011 Acknowledgements Writing a dissertation is sometimes a frustratingly solitary experience, and this dissertation would never have been completed without the assistance and support of many mentors, colleagues, and friends. Central to this project has been the support, encouragement, and critical review by my dissertation committee. This project is all the more rich because of their encouragement and feedback; any errors are entirely my own. J. Mills Thornton was one of the first professors I worked with when I began graduate school and he continues to make important contributions to my intellectual growth. His expertise in political history and his critical eye for detail have challenged me to be a better writer and historian. Kevin Gaines‘s support and encouragement during this project, coupled with his insights about African American politics, have been of great benefit. His push for me to think critically about the goals and outcomes of black political activism continues to shape my thinking. Matthew Countryman‘s work on African American politics in northern cities was an inspiration for this project and provided me with a significant lens through which to reexamine nineteenth-century black life and politics.

For the Bicentennial festivities, it recommends the building of a visitor facility near the Fiske Hill section of the park (toward Lexington, the east end) to provide information-orientation and the grand significance film. The Buttrick House would continue to serve as the visitor facility at the Concord (west) end of the park, at least for some years to come. Hartwell Tavern would be restored as a “living tavern" and the Job Brooks House will contain in-place exhibits on architecture and construction methods of the period. The Wayside will be restored and refurnished to reflect the New England Ren- naissance in literature (Hawthorne and the Alcotts lived there); and information-sales and a short audiovisual program are planned for the barn.
