Kyle Jenks presents on establishing living historians' clubs for youth to engage with history. He discusses finding interested students through schools, reenactments, history competitions, and summer camps. Living historians' clubs could do staged readings, graveyard tours, dinner theatre, and serve as docents at historic sites to bring history alive for youth. Jenks is passionate about connecting new generations to the past through interactive experiences.

This document discusses how feminism has been recognized in history through art, gender, race, and sexual identity. It analyzes Judy Chicago's artwork "The Dinner Party" which honors important women throughout history who have been overlooked. The artwork uses mixed media like ceramics and needlework to represent women through place settings arranged in the shape of an equilateral triangle. It took 4 years and contributions from 400 men and women to complete. The document also discusses how quilting was an early art form through which women artists across classes and races could express themselves. It notes how the feminist movement grew to recognize issues of both gender and racial oppression.
History of the Present: An Interview with Marci ShoreYHRUploads
Ā
This document summarizes an interview with Professor Marci Shore about her role in the film and discussion forum "The Last Time I Saw Them" regarding Holocaust testimonies. She discusses how witnessing stories from Eastern Europe survivors influenced her perspective. She was horrified by the Trump administration separating families at the border, as it reminded her of Nazi atrocities. This prompted her to get involved to use the film archive to intervene. While skeptical of predictions, the storming of the Capitol aligned with her fears about undermining democracy. She remains hopeful that Biden's presidency can help more Americans accept their ability to enact positive change.
This document provides a textual analysis of The Guardian Weekly magazine and Time magazine. For The Guardian Weekly, it analyzes layout, photography, typography, and intertextual references on the covers. It finds the magazine uses intertextuality and progressive language to convey left-leaning viewpoints. For Time magazine, it examines Greta Thunberg's Person of the Year cover and finds symbolic representations of her message and activism through her expression, clothing, and gaze. It also analyzes ads and articles in Time that reveal liberal social values and a focus on underrepresented groups.
This document discusses memes and how they relate to larger forces of dehumanization in modern society. It explores how memes are typically pictures with text that serve as visual shorthand for complex ideas. While memes are made through meme generators, they are considered authorless and depend on widespread sharing. The document examines how memes and visual culture more broadly can aestheticize and normalize violence, and looks at efforts to reclaim representation and create dignified images that celebrate communities and human rights.

This article examines newspaper coverage from the 1920s of violence between African American women involved in same-sex relationships. It uses these accounts to shed light on the social networks and everyday lives of queer black women in northern cities like New York and Chicago during this era. While the black press portrayed these "lady lovers" in a negative and sensationalized manner, their stories revealed that these women faced many of the same challenges as other working-class African American migrants, including low-paying jobs, overcrowded housing, and racial segregation. The article aims to make these invisible queer women's experiences more visible through analysis of press depictions of their acts of violence amidst defacting norms.
This document summarizes the agenda and topics discussed in Class #3 of ELIT 48C. The class covered manifestos by Ezra Pound, Willa Cather, William Carlos Williams, and Langston Hughes. It also provided historical context about the post-WWI period in America and discussed F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, analyzing characters like Daisy, Tom, and Jordan Baker. Students were asked questions about the authors' ideas and how Fitzgerald used characters to portray 1920s society. Homework included reading about critical theory and new criticism and posting questions about new criticism.
This document provides an in-depth analysis of the complex figure of the southern belle through examining both historical and fictional portrayals. It discusses how the southern belle has traditionally been viewed as a romanticized symbol of the antebellum South but beneath this facade lies deeper issues of race and racial hierarchies. The summary examines how the southern belle represents white supremacy and empowerment for white women during this era, in contrast to the lack of power and oppression faced by black slaves and house slaves, represented by the character of Mammy in Gone With the Wind. The document analyzes how both historical accounts and fictional works have often obscured the realities of racial inequality and promoted a mythologized version of the South.
Arts and entertainment coverage focuses on popular culture topics like movies, music and celebrities rather than high culture such as art and theater due to commercial pressures on news organizations. There has been a decline in coverage of high arts despite growing interest, as news priorities have shifted towards consumerism and what audiences want to see rather than expertise. The line between news and entertainment has also blurred as media provides more of what captures audience attention.
Alison Kennedy proposes running identity exploration zine workshops for LGBTQ+ youth at Kaleidoscope Youth Center in Columbus, Ohio. The weekly workshops over five months will focus on creating content and designing pages for an original zine. Selected zine pages will be enlarged for a poster exhibit at Kaleidoscope's OtherProm event in May. The project aims to give queer youth a creative outlet, sense of belonging, and opportunity for self-expression. If funded, the project timeline includes three phases: planning from October to December 2015, weekly workshops from January to May 2016, and exhibiting the zine posters at OtherProm in late May 2016.
This proposal recommends acquiring Corita Kent's 1969 serigraph "News of the Week" for the university's print collection. The print combines images and text from magazines about the Vietnam War with a diagram of a slave ship and Walt Whitman poetry to critique U.S. involvement. As an activist work by a former Catholic nun, it would add representation of Kent's political prints and engage students in discussions of social justice, ethics, and the Catholic tradition. At $1,340, it is within the collection's budget and would complement existing holdings.
This document provides information about the 2015 Fox Cities Book Festival, including its theme of connecting writers and readers. It summarizes some of the key events, such as appearances by featured author Christina Baker Kline and Wisconsin Poet Laureate Kimberly Blaeser.

This paper examines how Carrie Mae Weems' work as a black female photographer addresses universal human themes beyond issues of race and gender. While Weems' work focuses on black subjects and experiences of race, she aims to explore broader themes of family, love, power, and the human experience. However, most critics only analyze her work in terms of racial representation, failing to explore these recurring universal themes. Examining Weems' work thematically could provide new insights and reveal the overall, multilayered messages in her photographic series.
Lila Quintero Weaver's graphic memoir Darkroom recounts her childhood experience immigrating from Argentina to Marion, Alabama in 1961 and coming of age as a Latina girl in the segregated American South during the civil rights movement. Through vivid illustrations and dialogue, Weaver shares witnessing key moments in the civil rights struggle from her privileged perspective as an educated, middle-class Latino family. As a child who was neither black nor white, she observed the inequalities in American culture and struggled to understand race relations and find her place in society. Darkroom offers a unique window into the civil rights era through the eyes of a young immigrant girl.
Qinglan Wang proposes a presentation at a graduate English conference at Georgetown University in Spring 2015. The presentation will analyze how Cathy Song's poetry collection Picture Bride and Lois-Ann Yamanaka's Saturday Night at Pahala Theatre explore issues of heritage, gender, and post-colonialism in Hawaii to develop a literary voice that goes beyond the "between-worlds" identity described by Amy Ling. Wang's research will show how Song and Yamanaka construct a "between-multi-worlds" voice through elements like plantation imagery, Pidgin, and pressures on young women, distinguishing their works from other Asian American literature.
This document is an introduction to Booker T. Washington's autobiography "Up From Slavery". It provides background on Washington's education and the influences that shaped him. Washington had an extraordinary education under Samuel Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute, who was himself influenced by Williams College president Dr. Mark Hopkins. The introduction describes the author's first visit to Tuskegee Institute, where he was impressed by Washington's focus on practical, industrial education for African Americans and his students' earnestness, in contrast to more political or theological approaches of the time. It emphasizes how Washington found the path toward racial progress through education and work.
From the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Maud's Line, an epic novel that follows a web of complex family alliances and culture clashes in the Cherokee Nation during the aftermath of the Civil War, and the unforgettable woman at its center.It's the early spring of 1875 in the Cherokee Nation West. A baby, a black hired hand, a bay horse, a gun, a gold stash, and a preacher have all gone missing. Cherokee America Singer, known as Check, a wealthy farmer, mother of five boys, and soon-to-be widow, is not amused. In this epic of the American frontier, several plots intertwine around the heroic and resolute Check: her son is caught in a compromising position that results in murder; a neighbor disappears; another man is killed. The tension mounts and the violence escalates as Check's mixed race family, friends, and neighbors come together to protect their community--and painfully expel one of their own.Cherokee America vividly, and often with humor, explores the bonds--of blood and place, of buried histories and half-told tales, of past grief and present injury--that connect a colorful, eclectic cast of characters, anchored by the clever, determined, and unforgettable Check. .

This article examines The Simpsons, one of the most globally successful American television exports, and argues that contrary to assumptions of cultural imperialism theory, it may circulate a satirical criticism of America rather than promote American values. Through textual analysis of the show and research on international viewers, the author finds The Simpsons parodies and satirizes the American suburb and dream. While acknowledging American cultural dominance, the author argues cultural imperialism theories inadequately analyze the complexity of cultural texts and meanings that global audiences can derive. Examining popular cultural exports like The Simpsons in more depth can provide a more nuanced understanding of global cultural flows than assumptions of monolithic Americanization.

The I rony of Being American
. Michi Itami
I am an artist of Japanese American heritage (third generation) who expe-
rienced internment, as did many Japanese-Americans during World War II,
and who teaches at the City College of New York ofthe City University of
New York, perhaps the most culturally diverse university in the United States.
The makeup of the student body of the City College of New York incorpo-
rates fifty-two language groups, and many of the students are the first col-
lege-graduates-to-be in their respective families. The experience of teaching
there is incredibly enriching, and I appreciate what I am learning from my
students at the same time that I am teaching them printmaking and art. I
am director of the Graduate Studio Program as well.
I feel obliged to first tell you about my experiences and evolution as an
artist. In the past, my own work had been largely abstract. The tone and
ambience of the work was largely Japanese. I say this because the Japanese
in the past have eschewed direct representations of nature and usually have
represented their visions of nature in stylized and abstracted ways. A mov-
ing phenomenon, such as a wave in the ocean existing in time and in con-
stant motion, is better represented in abstract form.
In 1989, I got involved with computers and this has influenced the cur-
rent direction in my artwork. I began to realize that one could make art
from anything. The artist is no longer curtailed by one's drawing or repre-
sentational skills. In addition, above all else, the issue of what is relevant
to you became most important. My father left me a treasure trove of photo-
graphs from his past and his family. I had used them before in photo-etchings,
but the size and scope was limited. I felt compelled to tell his story visually.
In fact, when the government informed me that I was to receive a "redress"
payment for being interned during World War II, I was at first quite am-
bivalent and upset. But when I thought of making a piece about my father
and about our being interned at Manzanar, one of the largest internment
camps located on wasteland near Bishop, California, I accepted the money
with the intention of making these pieces. I bought a high-end computer
20
The Irony of Being American / 21
with part of the money and used it to create art related to the experience.
In one of the pieces, I placed the letter from President George Bush that
accompanied the redress payment next to the piece and called it The Irony
of Being American (Figure 3.1).
The Irony, as it is nicknamed, includes three views of my father-one at
sixteen years of age in Japanese dress, one at twenty-three in a double-
breasted suit, and one at twenty-seven in his U.S. Army uniform-superim-
posed transparently over the background of Manzanar. The photograph of
Manzanar was taken by Ansel ...

This document provides a summary and analysis of how films have portrayed and represented the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. It argues that most films depict the Movement through the lens of individual, personal stories and relationships rather than as a large communal struggle. This reduces the historical events and ignores the larger political and social issues. As an example, it analyzes the 1994 film The Long Walk Home, which depicts the Montgomery Bus Boycott through the relationship between a black domestic worker and her white employer, sidelining the broader significance and black solidarity of the Movement.

āHow much longer are they gonna treat us like animals? The American correctional
system is built on the backs of our brothers, our fathers and our sons. How much
longer? It's a system that must be dismantled piece by piece if we are to live up to

ā[The] artistās role is to raise the consciousness of the peopleā¦.Otherwise I donāt
know why you do it.āāAmiri Baraka1
1 In 1969, Larry Neal, one of the most visible black writers of his generation, emerged as a
chief exponent of a new artistic movement that was unfolding alongside the Black Power
Movement. For those curious about it, he explained that art had a critical role in the
Black Freedom Movement2 as a force to complement grassroots activism and political
struggle. Black artists were intimately connected to, and profoundly aware of, the black
freedom struggle; and their work reflected this familiarity. āThe Black Arts Movement,ā
Neal noted,
is radically opposed to any concept of the artist that alienates him from his
community. The movementā¦speaks directly to the needs and aspirations of black
America. In order to perform the task, the Black Arts Movement proposes a radical
reordering of the Western cultural aesthetic. It proposes a separate symbolism,
mythology, critique, and iconography.3
2 Throughout the United States a new black mood coalesced around aesthetes who
formulated new and audacious articulations of identity and politics that resonated with
wider black America. The Black Arts Movement (BAM) would have an indelible impact on
the cultural landscape of the country. It transformed the arts and literature in
innumerable ways from theatre, to murals, fashion, and more.
3 A half-century after Nealās decree, there has been an unprecedented explosion of black
arts in the United States, exceeding the depth, scope, reach and influence of the BAM,

The March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom took place on August 28, 1963. It was conceived by A. Philip Randolph and organized by Bayard Rustin to demand equal rights and an end to racial discrimination. Over 250,000 people gathered in Washington D.C. to hear speeches by civil rights leaders including John Lewis and Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech. However, the bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham just weeks later, which killed four young black girls, was a tragic reminder that racial equality was still far from being achieved.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Ā
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality.

āThe Baby Boomer view vs. the
Millennial viewā
PERSONAL COMMENTS ON THE PLAY:
HAMILTON currently playing at Public Theater in NYC through May 3, 2015.
These comments are based solely on the content of the NY
Times article: āRapping a Revolutionā Feb. 5th, 2015.
Although I love to be a purist, pragmatism wins out on this creation. Itās a
classic case of: āIf you canāt beat āem, join āem.ā
16. To be honest, I am not a fan of hip hop music. From the article: āA meeting of old and new, Colonial and millennial, is
the quintessence of āHamilton,ā in which Mr. Miranda ā who wrote the book, lyrics and music, and stars in the title
role ā uses a hip-hop, R&B and pop score to retell Americaās founding story.ā This play is not just for my eyes. This is
art and history combined together which widens its appeal. It is presented by a younger generation than mine for a
younger generation of people that find value in this kind of communication. Just yesterday [March 16th] I met a young
lady of the millennial generation who offered telling comments. She was fascinated by my description of this play. Her
comment first was that she felt her communications by various social media outlets was getting to be monotonous. She
said the subject matters revolved around, fashion, celebrity news or negative press in current events. Second, she
offered that this play interested her. When āshoppingā for entertainment she looks for subjects that she can personally
relate to. This I think is an almost universal reason why a particular entertainment event achieves large scale success. I
found this refreshing and hopeful insight into what our young adults are looking for out of life.
If the content is historically accurate [right now I canāt afford the $120 ticket price to judge it for myself!] that is one of
two crucial reasons I would support this work. The second, as I eluded to, is that it is presenting history in a method
familiar and appealing to the performerās contemporaries. As a First Person Interpreter of two 18th century characters,
I still choose to be pragmatic and open minded regarding this stage play. Again, perhaps this play is not designed to
appeal to the baby boomer generation necessarily. Its power lies in appealing to the audience represented through
popular culture in todayās world.
17. SHAKESPEARE:
As another analogy, I dare say Shakespeare is never challenged when people of different races or genders depict his
characters.
As an aside, I find it fascinating that this play comes on the heels of another new play about Alexander Hamilton
called āAll Things Libertyā by James Christy which debuted to school children bused onto the Kean University
Campus in Union, NJ this past October. See:
http://www.nj.com/suburbannews/index.ssf/2014/09/premiere_stages_at_kean_univer_11.html
It is also relevant for a younger audience. āAll Things Libertyā hits home because it brings universal human
experiences and makes them relatable to the current generation. By succeeding in doing that we have a better chance
to keep the appreciation of our hard won creation called the United States of America alive.
LAST OF THE MOHICANS:
Indulge me a bit of elaboration please. Do we get value from the fact that Last of the Mohicans has fostered an
enduring impact on the publicās fascination with its history even though it is not a completely non-fiction story? I
would argue yes. It has helped perpetuate an interest in history.
A crucial kudo to āHamiltonā would be if they get the history right. It just may seem out of context to an audience not
used to rap or hip hop music.
18. THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS BILL OF RIGHTS.
ā¦ā¦which is another analogy Iād like to make: The way the Constitution was written to be a āliving,
breathingā document. The founders were wise. They saw into the future and predicted evolution in
society. A strict document would paralyze society and eventually doom this then experiment in
Republican government delivered on a large scale. James Madison, the āFather of the Constitutionā
doggedly researched all previous forms of Republican government through time and concluded that
they all sprung from small, city state environments and all eventually failed. In 1787 a group of 55
men gathered in the same place our Declaration of Independence was signed 11 years earlier. They
were now attempting to organize this bold statement it took eight years of war to forge and unite it
into a large and varied amalgam of states that became the largest successful republic ever devised. It
still stands todayā¦.227 years later and I believe our millennials still want to protect it.

61. First Person Interpretation
in grand style
ā¢ Hereās a very sensory rich
application of the use of First
Person Interpretation.
ā¢ General George Washington
reviewing the troops. This
re-creation was in Fort Plain, NY
on Aug. 1-3, 2008.
ā¢ Genāl Washington actually toured
the āMohawk Valleyā in 1783 after
the war was officially over.
62. This is the dragoon unit that accompanied
General Washington into town.
ā¢ They are called Sheldonās Horse
Second Continental Light Dragoons.
They are still a semi-commissioned
military unit called out by the Governor
of Connecticut.
ā¢ They were Washingtonās
official ālife guardā unit.
ā¢ Dean Malissa as Washington rode into
town on horseback with them up to the
site at the Fort Plain Museum.
63. Reception Friday night
Meet the General
ā¢ This weekend long event
began with a reception
Friday night.
ā¢ On Sunday there was a
dinner. Dean Malissa is
shown here with a guest at
the Friday night reception.
64. First Person Interpretation in grand style
ā¢ On Saturday āHis
Excellencyā greeted the
public in character under
his marquee shown here.
ā¢ In the afternoon there was a
formal review of troops as
shown on slide 60.
65. A powerful emotional impact took placeā¦..
āI remember being paralyzed with awe as I
was given permission to have the ultimate
experience: Stand aside and be a "fly on the
wall" so to speak and observe this man work
his magic. āHis Excellencyā received the
public at this event under the marquee
pictured on slide 63. The way the public
responded to him is a testament to the
incomparable magnetic attraction he
displayed. And the thing of it is, it is George
Washington's magnetic and magnanimous
personality that the people responded to.ā
66. I have never forgotten that dayā¦..
ā¢ āNot to take anything away from Dean. He is
magnetic and magnanimous too, but the public
was actually mesmerized and tongue tied in his
presence. They [and I] thought we were in the
presence of the commander in chief of the
Continental Army!
ā¢ It was one of the most powerful emotional
experiences I have ever had. Right then and
there I said to myself, "I am going to do this as
well as Dean Malissa someday .".... [but as
someone shorter.]
ā¢ All the reenactors attending this commemoration
received one of these medals. I have saved it for
7 years, always on display at my desk.ā
67. My Development of a First Person Persona
ā¢ I started chronicling my
experiences as a reenactor in
2003 which turned into a story.
ā¢ I began the hobby in my native
upstate New York which lent
itself to learning about the
French and Indian War and
American Revolution time
periods.
68. My Development of a First Person Persona
ā¢ I found and bought Past into
Present: Effective Techniques for
First Person Historical
Interpretation
ā¢ By Stacy F. Roth
ā¢ I went straight to Appendix 2:
The Ultimate Character
Development List and started
filling in the blanks.
69. My Development of a First Person Persona
ā¢ I started blending my
chronicles in āMusingsā
with the Appendix in Stacy
Rothās book.
ā¢ I started reading books of
real life people I thought I
might like to portray.
70. I came up instead with a personal example
of a First Person Interpretation
My persona resulted in a historically inspired character
named Douglas McKenna. It was developed based on
being born in 1732 in Schenectady, NY. I told the story
of growing up in what was then known as the
Western Frontier.
I delved into his dealings with the varied and diverse
cultures present in upstate New York including the
English, Dutch, French, Scottish, Irish, Palatine
Germans and the five nations of the Iroquois
Confederacy. My journey into manhood was through
participation in the French and Indian War as a Roger's
Ranger and then deciding to join the patriot cause
during the American Revolution.
71. Evolution of Douglas McKenna
What I really enjoyed next was bringing the civilian
aspect into Douglasā life.
The reenactment hobby although not limited to the
military approach is most commonly battle
reenactment oriented.
I continued to participate in that aspect which I
thoroughly enjoy but I also sought out community
history site projects that brought a more complete
picture to Douglasā life.
This is a sample of an interpretation I did at the
Schuyler Mansion in Albany, NY.
72. Evolution of Douglas McKenna cont.
One of the best examples of my evolving awareness
of the time period was a move to a neighboring state.
Since New Jersey, commonly known as either the
Cockpit of the Revolution or the Crossroads of the
American Revolution, is so rich in that time periodās
history, it allowed Douglas to have reason to end up
in many more different places.
Proof of the increased complexity of character
development was a presentation I was hired to do at
Valley Forge National Historical Park for a large,
annual Boy Scout pilgrimage.
73. Evolution of Douglas McKenna cont.
I assembled a team of first person interpreters to
approach the story from the perspective of soldiers
traveling to Valley Forge at different times
throughout the winter of 1777/78 and spring of 1778
from the northern campaign in Saratoga, NY.
It allowed me to present this āglobalā perspective to
the war as well as highlight three historical figures
that not only have less renown, but are of minority
status. They are Salem Poor of Bunker Hill fame,
Honyerry Doxtader, an Oneida Indian from the
Iroquois Confederacy and Polly Cooper, also of the
Oneidas.
74. Evolution of Douglas McKenna cont.
Douglas continues to travel around and meet many more
people as he ages and gets involved in things that men
did back then, like own property, invest and get into
politics.
This is when I decided the time was ripe to take on a
historical figure that really lived.
James Madison, our fourth President has been in the
back of mind since 2007 but I didnāt feel I could do a
man of such great renown justice.
When opportunity finally knocked, I was ready. Now I
am studying for a first official presentation as Mr.
Madison for Constitution Day this year on Sept. 17, 2015.
76. A Douglas McKenna performance example
ā¢ This is my stage for the
performance I did at the West
Point Museum, West Point,
NY.
ā¢ The client was the West Point
Chapter of the Company of
Military Historians.
77.
78. A Douglas McKenna performance example
ā¢ The stage consisted of the table and chair you see center stage.
ā¢ There is a fireplace at stage left. Here I piled real wood logs with a cast iron pot set on
the imaginary fire. I had real food [pre-warmed] in the pot [canned beef stew.] The pot
was lined with a plastic container.
ā¢ I had bottles of grape juice mixed with wine and apple juice mixed with hard cider to
drink along with the proper drinking glasses, tankards, bowls plates and utensils.
ā¢ In the very center of the audience, [very hard to see] is a ācageā made of wire that
protected a halogen work light that sat inside.
ā¢ The work light was tilted up ever so slightly and the light was shown through a piece of
parchment yellow tissue paper to give the stage a candle lit appearance once the house
lights dimmed.
79. A Douglas McKenna performance example
ā¢ I had all the other period props necessary for my performance.
ā¢ I had pre planned for an audience member to be part of the show.
ā¢ He sat in the front row with a small table next to his chair.
ā¢ He was someone I could talk to and serve food and drink to while I was
telling my story.
ā¢ This particular presentation revolved around the story I received in a letter
from my wife Sarah who was in Philadelphia in 1787 when the Constitutional
Convention has just adjourned.
