Intertwined: The Enslaved Community at George Washington’s Mount Vernon

Episode 7: “Preserving” Edmund Parker never knew George and Martha Washington, but he knew Mount Vernon and the Washington Family very well. Parker was one of the many enslaved people who labored on the plantation in the nineteenth century after the Washingtons' deaths. Later, as a free man, Parker was among Mount Vernon's first interpreters when the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association purchased the property. In this episode, we explore what happened to the Mount Vernon landscape in the nineteenth century and various efforts to preserve the estate and George Washington's memory as the nation headed for civil war. Featuring: Dr. Scott Casper, President, The American Antiquarian Society Dr. Lydia Mattice Brandt, Associate Professor of Art History, University of South Carolina Rebecca Baird, Archivist, Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington Thomas Reinhart, Director of Preservation, George Washington's Mount Vernon Dr. Douglas Bradburn, President and CEO, George Washington's Mount Vernon William Norwood Holland, Jr., J.D., retired, National Labor Relations Board Dr. Jason Boroughs, Research Archaeologist, George Washington's Mount Vernon Full transcripts, show notes, and bibliographies available at www.georgewashingtonpodcast.com.

Intertwined: The Enslaved Community at George Washington’s Mount Vernon

Episode 8: "Legacies" Interpreting slavery at Mount Vernon was not part of the mission of the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association when the organization purchased the estate in the mid-nineteenth century. Over time, however, investigating the people enslaved at Mount Vernon and educating the public about their lives and legacies has become central to the Association's work. In our final episode, we look at how interpreting slavery has become intertwined with interpreting the Washingtons at Mount Vernon, and collaborative efforts by the Association and the Descendants Community to tell a story of lives bound together. Featuring: Jessie MacLeod, Associate Curator, George Washington's Mount Vernon Dr. Lydia Mattice Brandt, Associate Professor of Art History, University of South Carolina Dr. Scott Casper, President, The American Antiquarian Society Rebecca Baird, Archivist, Fred W.

This why we need an expert to lead us through his life, so we can better understand who Jefferson was and how he came to his seemingly paradoxical ideas about slavery and freedom. Annette Gordon-Reed, a professor of history and legal history at Harvard University and the winner of the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for her work on Thomas Jefferson and the Hemings Family, leads us on an exploration through the life and ideas of Thomas Jefferson.

Throughout the “Doing History: How Historians Work” series we’ve explored how historians find and research historical topics, how they identify and read historical sources for information, and how they publish their findings so others can know what they know about the past. But not all historians work to publish their findings about history in books and articles. Some historians work to convey knowledge about history to the public in public spaces and in public ways. Therefore, we conclude the “Doing History: How Historians Work” series with a look at how historians do history for the public with guest historian Lonnie Bunch, the Founding Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.   About the Series “Doing History” episodes will introduce you to historians who will tell you what they know about the past and reveal how they came to their knowledge.

Speakers: Dr. Douglas Bradburn Founding Director, Washington Library at Mount Vernon George Sanchez Professor of American Studies and Ethnicity and History Vice Dean for Diversity and Strategic Initiatives, USC Dornsife Moderator: David Sloane Professor, USC Price Immigration has long been a topic of political controversy in the United States. Right now, presidential candidates are taking positions, left and right, focused on defining this elusive topic, and developing "solutions" to what seems an intractable problem. George Washington served as President when the United States first grappled with immigration and naturalization politics. Although the specifics have changed, the challenges of balancing inclusiveness, economic growth, social justice, and national security were just as problematic in his time as they are today. The evening begins with a short presentation framing the problem of immigration in the Founding Era, and Washington's particular perspective by the Founding Director of the Washington Library, Dr. Douglas Bradburn. Then Professor George Sanchez, one of the nation's foremost historians, discusses the history and current controversies around immigration.
