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
