Erected in 1881, it is the product of an effort to develop an improved prototype for local schools—at the direction of Congress, the design was by the Architect of the Capitol, Edward Clark. Gales School still commands a prominent site near Union Station. The austere Romanesque Revival building is faced in pressed brick, with molded beltcoursing and a massive sandstone entranceway.

  • 2006 OAH/NCPH Annual Meeting Washington,Upcoming D.C
    ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN HISTORIANS & NATIONAL COUNCIL ON PUBLIC HISTORY Annual Meeting 2006 Washington, D.C. From the OAH President am honored to preside over the ninety-ninth annual meeting of the Organiza- I tion of American Historians, held in conjunction with the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the National Council on Public History. As noted in the call for papers, the theme of “Our America/Nuestra América” focuses on the many meanings and defi nitions of American life and American identity. Touching on the concept of Nuestra América as articulated by nineteenth-century Cuban poet and patriot José Martí, many panels expand the defi nition of “America” beyond borders and across bodies of water, and engage in debates about the place of the United States in the Western hemisphere and the world. While the conference will showcase panels on Latino history, the program committee has done a magnifi cent job in assembling a conference that refl ects the diversity of interests among our members. I look forward to plenary sessions that include a debate over U.S. immigration policy with Vicki Ruiz David Gutiérrez and Otis Graham, a session that focuses on twenty-fi ve years of the AIDS crisis, and a panel on the Smithsonian that includes directors of several of the Smithsonian museums. Folk music legend Tom Paxton will join us Saturday evening. I encourage you to venture beyond the conference hotel and enjoy the history that surrounds us in the nation’s capital. Indeed, the local resource commit- tee has arranged several tours and offsite session venues.
