SUMMARY:This Land is Your Land: In Conversation with Beverly Gage and Unscripted Tours
DESCRIPTION:What stories does America tell about its own history? Pulitzer Prize winning author Beverly Gage set out to answer that question in her new book\, This Land is Your Land: A Road Trip Through U.S. History. Across 13 chapters\, Gage road tripped through different parts of America\, from Independence Hall to the Badlands of North Dakota\, to see how Americans think about their past across museums\, tours and\, of course\, all the many inexplicable gift shop tchotkes. Join Gage and her son Nick\, her part-time road trip companion\, for a conversation about driving through 250 years of America’s ups\, downs and everything in between.\n\n\nThis event is co-presented by the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum and Unscripted Tours. Copies of This Land is Your Land will be available for purchase at the event through Politics and Prose.\n\nBeverly Gage teaches American history at Yale. Her book G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century received the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Biography\, the Bancroft Prize in American History\, the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography\, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Biography. She is also the author of The Day Wall Street Exploded: A Story of America in its First Age of Terror\, and writes for numerous journals and magazines\, including The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, and The Washington Post. Her most recent book\, This Land is Your Land: A Road Trip Through U.S. History\, was published in April.\n\nNick Perkins is the NYC Operations and Development Manager for Unscripted Tours\, which is a fancy way of saying he writes and leads walking tours in New York City. His writing has appeared in Jacobin and The Nation. He is also a side character in This Land is Your Land\, though his main moment in the book is when he gets Covid in California.\n\nAbout This Land is Your Land:\nRide along with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Beverly Gage as she travels the country to see the museums\, historic sites\, roadside attractions\, reenactments\, and souvenir shops where Americans learn—and fight—about our history. From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream\, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America’s greatest successes and challenges.The year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings\, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon—or live up to—those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history—to experience it and confront it\, to celebrate it and condemn it—in the places where it happened.Gage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat—or listen on audio with the windows down—and join the journey.\n\nThis event is free and seating is first come\, first served.

SUMMARY:Clara Barton's Civil War and the Creation of the Missing Soldiers Office
DESCRIPTION:Please join us Saturday\, July 26 in celebrating the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office’s 10th birthday! \nAuthor\, historian\, and first-person Clara Barton interpreter Carolyn Ivanoff will be presenting a special lecture detailing Clara Barton’s work throughout the Civil War and her development of the Missing Soldiers Office. \nMiss Clara Barton was known as the Angel of the Battlefield for her service as a nurse and relief worker during the Civil War.   In March of 1865\, with written permission from President Lincoln\, Barton established the Missing Soldiers Office in her boarding house on 7th Street in Washington\, D.C.  As the Civil War was coming to a close\, over 40 percent of the dead remained unidentified.  Tens of thousands of grieving families did not know the fate of their loved ones.  From the time she first went onto the battlefield Barton was acutely aware\, and deeply concerned\, for the fate of the men whom she cared for and their families.  With the opening of the Missing Soldiers’ Office\, Barton dedicated herself to the search for the missing and the identification of the dead.  By time the office closed in 1868\, Barton had worked herself into exhaustion.   More than 22\,000 unknown dead had been identified\, 13\,000 at Andersonville alone.

SUMMARY:HumanitiesDC Culture Series: Sex Work in Civil War Washington and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC saw an unprecedented rise in sex work during the Civil War due to the thousands of Union soldiers who flooded into the city for training. Brothels provided income\, shelter\, and independence for women who\, in some cases\, had few other places to turn. They built businesses and turned access to politicians into influence. \nThe DC neighborhood known as Federal Triangle used to be in DC’s early days\, a notorious slum known as Murder Bay and later as Hooker’s Division during the Civil War. The latter name evolved from the usage of that neighborhood as one of the city’s most concentrated red-light districts. The sex work industry exploded during the war due to the heavy presence of soldiers throughout wartime. \nBut why do we demonize sex workers? Why do we continue to stigmatize sex work? \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curator Katie Kirkpatrick in this Culture Series\, which will explore Murder Bay/Hooker’s Division during and after the Civil War. The event will bring together visual representations\, experts on Civil War Washington\, sex-work historians\, and members of today’s sex-work community to discuss how the oldest profession was practiced when it was legal\, compared to today’s ongoing struggle to recognize sex work as real work. \nThe event will begin with a walking tour at 6PM starting at The Willard Center\, 1455 Pennsylvania Avenue NW\, Washington\, DC 20004. Please dress comfortably. \n​The walking tour will be followed by a panel discussion at 7PM at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, 437 7th St NW\, Washington\, DC 20004. Panelists include Dr. Cindy Gueli\, Mark Herlong & Lazima Mills. Conversation moderated by Katie Kirkpatrick. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nRegistration is available at the eventbrite link below and will be available on-site at The Willard and at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. Advance registration is not required. Entry is based on a first-come\, first-serve basis.  \nFor reasonable accommodation requests regarding access and inclusion\, please contact Jimmy Watkins (jwatkins@humanitiesdc.org) no later than five business days before the start of this event.

SUMMARY:Commemoration of the Sinking of the Black Diamond
DESCRIPTION:Head to St. Clement’s Island for a weekend of activities commemorating a forgotten tragedy of the American Civil War\, the Black Diamond Disaster. \nPhoto from previous year commemorating the sinking of the Black Diamond \nOn Saturday and Sunday April 25 – 26\, visitors to the St. Clements Island Museum will be able to enjoy a range of free programs focused on the commemoration 1865 Black Diamond disaster.

Her main job was to keep John Wilkes Booth from crossing the Potomac River. During the same time\, the steamer Massachusetts headed for Fortress Monroe out of Alexandria\, Virginia. In a tragic turn of events\, the Massachusetts struck the Black Diamond on the port side near the boiler\, sinking her in under three minutes. 87 lives were lost off the shores of St. Clement’s Island that night. \nDon’t miss what promises to be a special and moving weekend of free activities in St. Mary’s county\, Maryland.

SUMMARY:National POW/MIA Recognition Day - Free Admission All Weekend
DESCRIPTION:In honor of National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum is offering FREE admission on September 19 – September 21.  \n \nThe third Friday in September has been set aside to remember those who were prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action. The observance of National POW/MIA Recognition Day takes place on military installations around the country. \nClara Barton devoted her time and energy in search of Union soldiers who went missing during the Civil War.  From 1865-1868\, the Missing Soldiers Office discovered the fate of more than 22\,000 missing soldiers and provided information to grieving Northern families. \nHer work also sent her to Andersonville Prison in August 1865\, when she accompanied a U.S. Army expedition to the notorious prisoner of war camp in Georgia. She advocated on behalf of the survivors of that Confederate prison and testified about the conditions they experienced in front of Congress in February 1866. \nAdmission to the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum will be FREE all weekend (September 19-21). \nRead more about Clara Barton’s work with the Missing Soldiers Office \n\nMore resources about POW/MIA Recognition Day \n4 Things to Know about POW/MIA Recognition Day \nThe Story Behind the POW/MIA Flag

SUMMARY:How Civil War Medicine Killed President James Garfield
DESCRIPTION:Sixteen years after the end of our nation’s bloodiest conflict\, antiquated Civil War medical techniques led to the death of President James Garfield. \n \nWhen an assassin’s bullet struck James Garfield in July 1881\, the battle to save the president’s life began. In the weeks that followed\, doctors argued over how to treat the stricken executive. In the end\, Dr. D. Willard Bliss took control of Garfield’s recovery and controversy has surrounded his role ever since. Jake Wynn of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine will discuss the history of Garfield’s recovery and how antiquated techniques learned by Dr. Bliss during his Civil War experience played a role in James Garfield’s death in September 1881. \nThe presentation will take place on June 29 at 1:00 PM at the James A. Garfield National Historic Site in Mentor\, Ohio. \nJake Wynn is the Director of Interpretation at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. He also writes independently at the Wynning History blog.

SUMMARY:Seeking Asylum
DESCRIPTION:Securing Care for Mentally Ill African Americans After the Civil War\nOne of the biggest challenges facing the post Civil War south was the vast number of African Americans who required medical care. The majority of established hospitals were reluctant to accept them as patients\, and those that suffered from mental illness faced the greatest amount of discrimination. Historian Craig Swenson will discuss how the Freedmen’s Bureau established a system of hospitals to handle this growing need and how a former Confederate hospital in Richmond became one of the world’s first asylums dedicated solely to the treatment of African American patients. \nCraig Swenson holds a Bachelor’s Degree in history from the University of Baltimore and currently completing his Master’s Degree in Museum Studies at the Harvard University Extension School. His research deals with medical and architectural history with a focus on mental health. He is currently employed at the National Building Museum where he most recently worked on The Architecture of an Asylum\, an exhibition on St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. He is also an intern at the Museum. \nPre-Register Now

SUMMARY:Troubled Refuge
DESCRIPTION:By the end of the Civil War\, nearly half a million slaves had taken refuge behind Union lines\, in what became known as “contraband camps.” These refugee camps were crowded\, dangerous places\, yet some 12-15 percent of the Confederacy’s slave population took almost unimaginable risks to reach them\, and they became the first places many Northerners came to know former slaves en masse. \nRanging from stories of individuals to those of armies on the move to the debates in Congress\, Dr. Chandra Manning will explore what the camps were really like and how former slaves and Union soldiers warily united there to help end slavery\, win the war\, and forge a new version of citizenship that would matter not just for former slaves\, but for all Americans. \nDr. Chandra Manning is an accomplished historian and author of Troubled Refuge and When this Cruel War Was Over. She graduated summa cum laude from Mount Holyoke College in 1993 and received the M.Phil from the National University of Ireland\, Galway\, in 1995. She took her Ph.D. at Harvard in 2002. Manning has taught history at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma\, Washington\, and was Associate Professor of History at Georgetown University. Currently\, she serves as Special Advisor to the Dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Weeping No More
DESCRIPTION:Southern Black Women and the U.S. Pension Bureaucracy\nThis talk will explore how southern black women artfully navigated the U.S. pension bureaucracy to gain recognition as Union widows. Based on her extensive research of black soldiers’ wives and widows at the National Archives\, Dr. Brandi Brimmer will reconstruct the pension application process and evidentiary obstacles newly freed black women faced in their attempt to claim and maintain their position on the pension roster. Over the course of the presentation\, she will demonstrate how these women utilized the U.S. pension bureaucracy to air their grievances and remake widowhood on their own terms. \nBrandi C. Brimmer is a historian of African Americans in the United States with a particular interest in women/gender\, racial formation\, and sexuality in late-nineteenth-century America. Her book-in-progress analyzes black women’s relationship to the U.S. legal system and to federal institutions in post-Civil War America.  Brimmer’s articles have appeared in the Journal of the Civil War Era and the Journal of Southern History.  She is an assistant professor in the Department of History and Geography at Morgan State University.  Her talk this afternoon will explore the life\, labors\, and travails of black women who had to artfully negotiate the U.S. pension bureaucracy to gain legal recognition as a Union widow. \nPre-register Now

SUMMARY:Clara Barton - An American Life
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the incredible life and career of an American icon. \nHow did a shy girl born on a New England farm in 1821 break through the barriers that so often confined women to the domestic sphere? How did she go on to have a sixty year career of public service that touched people all over the world? How did she found the American Red Cross\, an organization that still helps people in need today? And what gave this woman the courage to go where the fighting was taking place during the American Civil War\, a place women did not go? \nThis illustrated talk by Kevin Patti from Clara Barton National Historic Site will use photographs from Clara Barton’s life and times to answer these questions and describe the development of her remarkable career. The talk will also describe Miss Barton’s legacy as an advocate for the expansion of rights for African Americans and women. The audience will learn of her role as a pioneer of emergency preparedness\, First Aid and natural disaster relief work\, as well as public education in New Jersey. \nKevin Patti\, a twenty year veteran of the National Park Service\, has served as a Park Ranger at Clara Barton National Historic Site since 2005. At the request of the State Department in 2012 he traveled to Armenia to speak about Clara Barton and the relief effort she lead in 1896 to help Armenians who were affected by massacre. He has been featured on CSPAN leading a tour of Clara Barton National Historic Site. Mr. Patti has also worked at Glen Echo Park in Maryland\, Great Falls Park in Virginia\, Theodore Roosevelt Island and the Old Post Office Tower in Washington\, DC. \nPre-Register Now
