You've never heard of the Madisons or the Bernsteins. But these are two historic Chicago families and in big and small ways, they have left their mark on this city.

President Roger Madison was born in Boise, Idaho.  He attended Meridian High School on a part-time basis, and Centennial High just long enough to get a diploma.  He attended Utah Valley University for a year where he met his wife Alyse, she was attending BYU.   They both graduated from Boise State University and are big Broncos fans. Roger works as a financial advisor in Meridian and Alyse is an incredible Mother.  They enjoy boating in the summer and snowboarding in the winter.  They call Donnelly, Idaho their second home.  They have strong testimonies of the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ and enjoy their current assignments working with the young single adults in the Boise, Idaho area. The Madisons have 4 children, including Zach who passed away in 2015.  They have 3 grandchildren. Roger Madison is currently serving in Boise YSA Stake Presidency.

This week on Conversations with Kenyatta, Kenyatta D. Berry is joined by Dr. Bettye Kearse, author of The Other Madisons, which examines her relation to a found ing father, and what her journey has looked like, and what she's learned. 

Today we briefly discuss Hurricane Ian and let's just say it's not great. Moving onto more important issues, Lizzo disgraced the country by twerking while playing Jame's Madisons gay crystal flute. This is an outrage that cannot go undiscussed. Gavin Newsom signed a bill blocking the use of rap lyrics in court, but I think it's time the OGs like Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre hold a rap game CPAC so that they can teach these youngins how to stop snitching on themselves. The youth are experiencing anxiety and depression at alarming rates and I have figured out why. Elon Musk promised to built a ‘catgirl' sexbot version of his recently announced Optimus robot and one AI expert believes digital children in the Metaverse will be the norm by 2050.

Twins who doused themselves in petrol on an Esso forecourt in Canterbury have been jailed. A court's been told how Brittany and Bethany Lee tried to ignite a lighter during a stand off with police. Hear from our reporter Sean Axtell who was in court to hear the case. Also on today's podcast, people moving to new homes planned for part of Medway could be banned from having cats in a bid to try and protect wildlife. 68 properties are due to be built off Cliffe Woods, not far from an important nature reserve and Nightingale habitat. Hear from a councillor and people living nearby. Kent is still one of the worst-affected areas in the country when it comes to rural crime according to new figures. The theft of things like quad bikes, trailers, and Land Rovers from farms cost the county nearly £1.4million last year. We've got reaction from NFU Mutual and a farmer from Dartford. There's some confusion today after a large restaurant in Maidstone suddenly closed. Madisons on Gabriel's Hill shut without warning and people who had meal's booked up until Christmas have had their deposits returned. We bring you the details we know so far.

In 2000, the newly created Montpelier Foundation took over management of the historic home of James Madison with a seemingly insurmountable task before it. The house was no longer recognizable as the home of the Madisons, and most other structures were in poor condition. Within ten years, the foundation overcame numerous hurdles to restore the house and turn Montpelier into a monument to the Father of the Constitution. Over the next decade, the site also became a monument to Montpelier's enslaved. The buildings in their community next to the Madisons' home were reconstructed, and award-winning exhibits dramatically illustrate the tragedy of slavery and essential role of enslaved people in Madison's life. Foundation co-founder William H. Lewis details the nonprofit's ambitious preservation projects and remarkable achievements.

Också den som är på flykt har fattat ett medvetet beslut. Gustaf Grapengiesser funderar över hur samhället värderar migranter utifrån skälen för deras uppbrott. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.En septemberdag byter jag min vanliga existens med bas utanför Simrishamn, mot en helt annan i Nicosia på Cypern. Väl på plats köper jag en motorcykel, en liten enkel maskin från 90-talet med 400 kubik. I fickan har jag mitt pass som låter mig passera över gränsen till den norra ockuperade delen av ön. En hård, men samtidigt överraskande informell gräns, erkänd av den norra sidan men inte av den södra grek-cypriotiska. Den här informella linjen är också en del av EU:s yttre gräns, men på grund av sin tveksamma status är den fortfarande relativt enkel att passera även för den som inte har sina papper iordning.Att flytta till en främmande plats, att byta ett kulturellt sammanhang mot ett annat, kan försätta en i ett särskilt tillstånd eller känsloläge.  Den amerikanske psykoterapeuten Greg Madison kallar det existentiell migration. På svenska skulle den långa titeln på hans studie av fenomenet från 2010 lyda: Hemmahörandets upphörande oberättade historier om att lämna hemmet och den globala omlokaliseringens psykologi och han intresserar sig alltså för dem av oss som uttrycker något fundamentalt med vårt val av boställe. I kärnan av den existentiella teoribildningen finns vår förmåga att göra val och jag har onekligen både valt och använt min frihet. Men jag, en privilegierad och tillfällig migrant med nyköpt motorcykel, är inte den enda som rör sig över gränsen mellan öns norra och södra sida. Varje dag anländer asylsökande från olika delar av världen. Man ser dem vid ringmuren runt den gamla delen av staden. I gryningen trängs de på vid Oxi-square i hopp om att få något av de daglönejobb som erbjuds av stadiga män i slitna pick-ups.Jag möter dem också på det center för asylsökande där jag arbetar under min tid på Cypern. Men trots att vi rör oss på samma platser så ingår de inte i Madisons definition av existentiell migration. Anledningen kan tyckas självklar. Den som är flykting ska inte, heter det, ha gjort något aktivt val; för att räknas som flykting måste man ha tvingats till sin förflyttning. Den här synen förenar intressant nog både många som är kritiska till flyktinginvandring och personer som vill se en generösare flyktingpolitik. Den ena sidan strävar efter att identifiera så få av de asylsökande som möjligt som verkliga flyktingar, medan den andra, av humanitära skäl, strävar efter att erkänna en så stor grupp som möjligt som flyktingar. Men rätten till asyl bygger ur bägge gruppernas perspektiv på att den sanna flyktingsituationen inte rymmer några valmöjligheter.Vår förmåga att göra val och reflektera över våra mått och steg är som sagt grundläggande i det existentiella perspektivet. Det är rent av vad som definierar oss som människor. Valen gör oss till subjekt inför oss själva. Men det är också så att när vi känner igen och erkänner den andres val förstår vi också henne som ett mänskligt subjekt. I situationer när vi inte erkänner, eller ser den andres val, underkänner vi alltså i viss mån dennes mänsklighet. Den här människan omformas till att endast bli en siluett i ett kollektiv, utan historia eller identitet. Någon som liksom bara uppstår vid gränsen som nyanländ.Den italienske filosofen Giorgio Agamben använder begreppet la nuda vita, det nakna livet för att beskriva hur livet värderas i den här situationen. Det är ett liv som ifall det avslutas saknar tillräckligt värde för att något ska anses ha gått förlorat, likt hur vi vant oss vid att unga kroppar namnlöst sjunker ner i Medelhavets djup. Istället blir flyktingen en abstraktion, ställd utanför rätten till rättigheter. Nakenmänniskorna beskrivs med siffror som en ansiktslös flodvåg med toppar och dalar, de representerar antingen olika former av hot eller räknas till de fördrivna, borttappade och röstlösa.Personerna jag träffar på Cypern kommer främst från olika länder i Afrika. Unga män från exempelvis Nigeria, Kamerun, Liberia, Guinea och Demokratiska republiken Kongo. Ibland kommer det familjer med småbarn. En del bär med sig akademiska eller medicinska studier i ryggsäcken, andra vet inte att fem är ett lägre tal än tio. En dag kom det in en ung poet till centret och la fram tre av sina böcker framför mig. En av titlarna var Au Banquet de la Modernité, och det stämmer ju, han och jag möts här på denna modernitetens sena bankett. Han har sökt sig till Europa av existentiella och politiska skäl, det finns som han ser det ingen framtid för honom i Kamerun annat än att just finnas till. Han har gjort sitt val, och begett sig hit på en osäker strapats, han har tagit en kalkylerad risk, han har beslutat om sina insatser.Människorna jag möter här längtar alla efter något, till något, och inte enbart bort från något, de letar efter sin existentiella plats i den här världen. Vi skiljer oss förstås i våra privilegier, men vi befinner oss bägge här som produkter av olika former av beslut. Det kan vara privilegierade val, men det kan också vara val som görs av nödvändighet, inte minst eftersom också drömmar är allvarliga saker.Det finns ett mer radikalt sätt att se på saken: att det är just hos personer som upplever krig eller politisk förföljelse som frihetspotentialen blir som mest akut. I den akuta situationen tvingas du att välja din väg, ska du stanna eller ska du gå? I ett sådant, akut skede, görs en mängd olika existentiella val som matas av föreställningen om självförverkligande och närs av drömmen att hitta en plats där man kan nå sin fulla potential.För den som inte ställs inför sådana situationer är det istället lätt att hamna i ett tillstånd av riktningslöshet och tänka att man väl ska bo nånstans eller jobba med nånting. Just personer i mer privilegierade situationer ställs kanske allt för sällan inför de radikala val som existensen egentligen erbjuder. Kanske behöver vi förstå och se att den andre har gjort val för att inse att också vi kan göra det. Madisons begrepp existentiell migration passar in bra här, för det identifierar och hjälper oss att problematisera hur våra självbilder förändras när vi förflyttar oss, när vi migrerar. Men det gäller ju förstås all sådan förflyttning.Moderniteten har gett oss bilder som gör det möjligt för oss att föreställa oss andra världar och att drömma stort. Även om man saknar dem man lämnat och platserna som går förlorade, vet vi att det är de avgörande valen som gör oss till dem vi är på den nya platsen där vi befinner oss. Flykten är inte längre en fråga om att i ett akut läge byta plats utan också om att i viss mån byta identitet och föreställning om vem man kan bli.Det är just det här som är poängen, att valet är som mest existentiellt när det är livsavgörande. Att flykten är både ett val och en nödvändighet. Och att migration för individen alltid är en existentiell erfarenhet.Gustaf Grapengiesser

Today’s Rant is on the Oh No No, we can’t call it a no hitter? We take Madisons side,

The Other Madisons: The Lost History of a President's Black Family by Bettye Kearse "A Roots for a new generation, rich in storytelling and steeped in history." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "A compelling saga that gives a voice to those that history tried to erase...Poignant and eye-opening, this is a must-read." —Booklist In The Other Madisons, Bettye Kearse—a descendant of an enslaved cook and, according to oral tradition, President James Madison—shares her family story and explores the issues of legacy, race, and the powerful consequences of telling the whole truth. For thousands of years, West African griots (men) and griots (women) have recited the stories of their people. Without this tradition, Bettye Kearse would not have known that she is a descendant of President James Madison and his slave, and half-sister, Coreen. In 1990, Bettye became the eighth-generation griotte for her family. Their credo—“Always remember—you’re a Madison. You come from African slaves and a president”—was intended to be a source of pride, but for her, it echoed with abuses of slavery, including rape and incest. Confronting those abuses, Bettye embarked on a journey of discovery—of her ancestors, the nation, and herself. She learned that wherever African slaves walked, recorded history silenced their voices and buried their footsteps: beside a slave-holding fortress in Ghana; below a federal building in New York City; and under a brick walkway at James Madison’s Virginia plantation. When Bettye tried to confirm the information her ancestors had passed down, she encountered obstacles at every turn. Part personal quest, part testimony, part historical correction, The Other Madisons is the saga of an extraordinary American family told by a griot in search of the whole story. About Bettye Kearse In 1990, Bettye Kearse became the family griotte when her mother brought the box of family memorabilia to her. Bettye asked, "Why now?" The answer was: "I want to give you plenty of time to write the book." In recounting the struggles, perseverance, and contributions of eight generations of Bettye's family, THE OTHER MADISONS discovers, discloses, and embraces a more inclusive and complete American story. Her writings have appeared in the BOSTON HERALD, RIVER TEETH, ZORA, MENTAL FLOSS, IMAGEMAKERS & INFLUENCERS MAGAZINE, OpEdNEWS, TIME MAGAZINE and the anthology BLACK LIVES HAVE ALWAYS MATTERED. THE OTHER MADISONS earned an International Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Book Award. Bettye's research received extensive coverage in the WASHINGTON POST: www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/lifestyle/dna-madison/ Bettye was born in Tucson, Arizona and grew up in California. She has a B.A. in Genetics from the University of California, a Ph.D. in Biology from New York University, and an M.D. from Case Western Reserve University. Before retiring and moving to Santa Fe, New Mexico, Bettye practicedB pediatrics in Boston for 31 years. Bettye's favorite foods are nuts and truffles. When a choice must be made, it depends on her level of self-indulgence. Website: bettyekearse.com

Subscribe To Our Weekly Email INTRODUCING MADISON NOLLEY: We all have something inside of us that drives us towards reaching our goals.  For some of us, it is a desire to complete worthy goals.  For others it the need to do everything correctly that gets us to the endpoint.  And for some of us, it is competitiveness.  Actually, there is probably a little bit of all of those in all of us, with one outshining the others.  Our guest today is definitely competitive.  Madison Nolley describes herself that way.  She has an older brother that she loves very much but definitely does not want to be outdone by.  This drives her.  It got her started in the FFA as soon as her school district would allow - 6th Grade, and it has pushed her into every possible competitive FFA event that she was allowed to do prior to beginning high school. As a freshman, Madison is already transitioning from a placement SAE to an entrepreneurship SAE, and she has already been able to obtain a $1,000 SAE grant from Farm Credit to help her begin her Dahlia production business.  Madison is still competing with her big brother, who is currently serving as the state president for the New York State FFA Officer Team.  However, this competition coupled with her natural drive is pushing her towards great achievements of her own. Madison lovingly talks about being competitive with her brother, but there is a serious side there too.  She has some great goals for her flower business, and for the offices, she wants to achieve in the FFA.  It is going to be a lot of fun to watch where she goes over the next three + years of high school and FFA.   SUPERVISED AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE: Dahlia Production HIGH SCHOOL: Stockbridge Valley High School, Munnsville, NY MASCOT: Cougar FFA ADVISOR: Erin Smith CONTACT INFORMATION FOR MADISON NOLLEY: Click on the picture below to be taken to the Stockbridge Valley High School website: Madisons' FFA Advisors' Email Address: esmith@stockbridgevalley.org Wetumpka High School's Telephone Number: 315-495-4400 FFA LINKS: National FFA Organization Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE's) Support FFA  Donate to FFA - FFA students can start small businesses through an FFA grant of $1,000.  In 2014, 141 FFA students received these grants.  With your donations, more students can get this head start - pay it forward. REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA: Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% and the rest of the world.  FFA provides the needed education, training, and resources to Americans that will carry that torch forward and ensure that America continues to have inexpensive, quality food. Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation.  The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth. Farmers, ranchers, and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the food search is as simple as going to the grocery store: “The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny Perdue   More Places You Can Listen to Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald:

On the surface, Promising Young Woman might seem like another rape revenge film but Director Emerald Fennell's film has a lot more depth to it than the torture porn the sub-genre has unfortunately become. A lot of films that fall into the "rape revenge" category, particularly those made by men, end up focusing more on the brutality of the rape or the revenge and in doing so, tend to still make these films that should center on women, more about the men. Where Promising Young Woman succeeds is that it never really takes the focus off the victim. It also explores what a victim really is in these situations, showing that there are a lot more victims that are affected than just the direct victim and the long lasting affects of this violation. Promising Young Woman also doesn't let anyone "off the hook". Any time we see news about a rape or sexual assault that has occurred, we also see that the accused has a lot of enablers and defenders. And those people and systems that help these men get away with their crimes only leads to more bad behavior by "good guys". This film makes sure to call out the enablers and show how they all the sudden change tunes when they're the ones in the hot seat. To put it nicely (and without spoilers), let's just say there are a lot more people that are Dean Walkers and Madisons than want to admit. This cast works very well together. Carey Mulligan is perfectly cast as Cassandra Thomas. She's perfectly blends humor, sarcasm, anger and vulnerability. Clancy Brown and Jennifer Coolidge are a great combination of loving parents who are also ready for their child to get out of their house and try to move on. The rest of the cast also works very well together and most do a lot with very little screen time. Molly Shannon has what can best be described as a cameo but it's a pretty impactful and more serious performance than one would expect. The cast doing so much with  so little screen time is also what might disappoint some. Laverne Cox plays Gail, Cassandra's boss and she's great. But because she's Laverne Cox audiences might be expecting more. This is not to say that this is a film plagued by an underused cast. Rather its in the much better position of leaving an audience wanting more instead of needing more. Promising Young Woman is by no means a perfect movie. No film really ever is. But it is a great blend of humor and seriousness that explores survivors guilt just as much as it does revenge.

This week in 1814… President James and Dolley Madison and their slaves escape the White House as the British invade and burn Washington, DC. As first lady, Dolley Madison had been a much-celebrated hostess. Even today, she is known for rescuing a portrait of George Washington from the fire. But a firsthand account from one of the Madisons' slaves tells a different story.

Bill Horan talks to Dr. Bettye Kearse, author of THE OTHER MADISONS. Dr. Kearse will discuss why many African Americans suffer from hopelessness, how a hopeless person sees the future, how formal education can help hopelessness, and what we can do to make this situation better.

James Madison, den 4. præsident i rækken, er nok mere berømmet for sine gerninger inden sin tid i præsidentembedet end sine meritter under. Madison er nemlig den person der har sat det største aftryk på den amerikanske forfatning (det der svarer til den danske grundlov), der lagde rammerne for hvordan demokratiet skulle tage sig ud i den nyetablerede union. Madisons tid som præsident var mindre sagnomspundet. Han var fortaler for en mindre magtfuld præsident, fortaler for en stærk stat, og måtte i sin tid lede unionen igennem endnu en krig med englænderne - og så var han den mindste præsident nogensinde på 1,63 meter.

Hello history friends and welcome back to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it. In this month’s podcast series, we are going to remember history in a slightly different way. Rather than talking about it (which, of course, is a great thing to do and a great way to learn), we are going to visit history, see history, experience history, and get immersed in history. (And, yes, we will talk about it a bit too!) What do I mean? I mean that this month we are going to discuss important historical sites around the United States. You might not realize that there are lots and lots of different sites where great and important historical events have occurred.  Some were small and brief events. Others were large and long lasting. But all were memorable and all were game changers.  I think that it is so important to visit historical sites and see where and how things happened, where people lived and how they lived. Remember, one of my goals is to bring history to life—that is one of the very best ways to keep history alive. And it’s also lots of fun.   I remember, when I was 8 years old, my parents took my brother and me on a road trip from Pennsylvania to California. That was one of the most fun trips ever!  Besides just spending time together as a family, we also went to historical sites that I had read about in school.  It was amazing to actually see the Liberty Bell and the original document of the Constitution.  And I was just amazed by visiting Harper’s Ferry!  (What? You haven’t heard of Harper’s Ferry?!)  No worries. It is one of the places that we’re going to discuss during our exploration of the great historic sites!   You might be asking yourself: why is she discussing this issue right now?  Great question! Sure it is a change from the topics that I have covered in the past, particularly in April. In that month, I discussed people who had been killed in the fight for civil rights.  There were so many people who sadly gave their lives during the civil rights movement but I was only able to discuss a few of them like Harry and Harriette Moore  who were was killed for documenting cases of lynching and who fought for equality in education, Rev. James Reeb who was killed while attending the Selma March and Birdia Keglar and Adlena Hamlett who were tortured and killed on their way home from testifying before the Commission on Civil Rights and who had worked tirelessly for voting rights.  Yes, these stories were hard to hear but it was important to remember them and what they lived and fought for.  So, sure, this month’s podcast series is very different.  But why now?   Because school is nearly finished for the year. People are making vacation plans.  They want to travel and visit family. Those are great things to do. That is my plan as well.  But I would love for people to consider visiting some of these places or having some of these experiences.  None of them are expensive. And they give so much more than they cost. And they are experiences that can be remembered for life.  We must not let history die. We must support those places that keep African American history alive and remembered. We should take our children to these places so they can see what came before them.  History is a larger way of looking at and experiencing life so let’s live life to the fullest. Remember Dr. Carter G. Woodson (the father of Black History) said that “If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.   We must never become a “negligible factor” to anyone, particularly ourselves.       Finally, I just want to remind you that this is the new and improved website called rememberinghistory.com where were are remembering history and we’re making history, too. We are a large and growing community of fun and friendly historians and we welcome everyone who loves history or even if you’re just curious about history, we welcome everyone to join.  Leave your comments. Read the bodacious blog.  If you want more information about the people or issues, go to the remembering history book store called Books & Stuff. You’ll find, of course, books but also DVDs, audiobooks, games and other fun learning tools.  Everything has been personally vetted by me so you can trust these resources—or you can blame me if you don’t like them. That’s accountability.  Not easy to find on the Internet but you’ll find it here. Visit the Facebook page (which is also new).  On the Facebook page, you will find pictures of the places that I mention in the podcasts and you’ll see pictures of the people too.  A picture really does speak a thousand words.  And you’ll find additional information about the historic sites mentioned here. Finally—really this time!—I just want to remind you that rememberinghistory.com has a  surprise coming that will be released on June 1st. Next week, I’ll give you more information about this surprise and how you can be eligible to win one of these surprises.   Now, let’s get started remembering history and making history.   Yes, I think that I know what YOU’RE thinking now:  how can she possibly talk about all the different historic sites related to African Americans?  You’re right. I can’t possibly discuss EVERY one of them. Or even most of them. After all, we are talking about more than 400 years of history. It is a lot. So, I’m going to break it down. In this first podcast, I will discuss slavery and abolition.    Although slavery ended in 1865, many of the historic sites still remain or have been restored. They are not often visited—after all, it is not a period or topic that most Americans are proud of, like the Declaration of Independence.  But it is a part of American history and, especially, African American history so we should take steps to remember it, learn about it and learn from it.   Mount Vernon   This might seem like a strange place to revisit slavery. But it is one of the most moving places that I have ever visited.  As you are probably aware, Mount Vernon was the plantation home of George Washington, first president of the United States.   Of course, Washington did not live on the premises during his two terms as president.  But he always remained connected to the plantation and immediately returned to it following his tenure.    It is no surprise that George Washington owned slaves. In fact, he owned as many as 316 slaves that lived at Mount Vernon.  At the time of his death in 1799, 90 percent of the population at Mount Vernon consisted of enslaved African Americans.  And they lived in different quarters on the five farms that comprised Mount Vernon.  The largest slave quarter was located at Mansion House Farm where 90 slaves lived.  In other quarters, located at nearby farms or in distant fields, the quarters were smaller, housing around 45 or 50 persons. There is some dispute about the quality of the slave quarters. Some records say that the living areas were made of brick, had several fireplaces and glazed windows. Other reports (written by visitors to George and Martha) said that the quarters were basic log houses.  Inspectors described them as wretched. Husband and wife slept on a pallet while children slept directly on the floor.   I am mentioning Mount Vernon because the slave quarters (near the main house) have been restored and are open to visitors. This was an amazing experience.  Standing in the quarters where the enslaved population lived was an emotional trip and brought the history to life for me. I witnessed others having the same experience—both adults and children.  It is a trip back in history that every American should take.   With its large population of enslaved persons, Mount Vernon also had a cemetery for the African slaves. It is near the main house. Today, it is marked with a small monument that recognizes the slaves who lived, worked and died on the plantation.    To bring it all together, Mount Vernon has an excellent museum that discusses various aspects of life at the plantation, including the living conditions, experiences and lives of the enslaved population.  It has excellent and interesting descriptions, exhibits and explanations.  It even discussed the clothing, food and working conditions of the slaves.    Mount Vernon has made a great effort to restore and present life at the first president’s plantation. The restored slave quarters, the slave cemetery and the museum presents the enslaved population (both skilled and unskilled) in a realistic and dignified way.    Mount Vernon is open 365 days each year.  It is a short drive from Washington, D.C. and has an amazing restaurant. You gotta try the hoe cakes (pancakes made from cornmeal—it’s an original recipe by Washington’s niece)!  Take the whole family—you will never forget the experience.     I just briefly want to mention another plantation from the same period.  Montpellier is the plantation owned and operation by James Madison, 4th president of the United States.  Montpellier was a larger and grander plantation than Mount Vernon (I didn’t think that this was possible) and had large, multi-generational population of enslaved persons.      Montpellier has undergone many restorations but there much less is known about the slaves who lived on the plantation.  (The Madisons kept long and copious notes about their lives and the work of James Madison, but they did not maintain the detailed records like those kept at Mount Vernon.)  Nevertheless, it is known that between 1723 and 1844, there were more than 200 slaves that lived on Montpellier and that 7 generations of families were born, lived and died there.   So, why do I mention Montpellier? There is an amazing archeological dig and excavation being conducted on the plantation.  And they take volunteers from the public. You simply have to sign up for one of their week-long sessions where you will live and work with the archeologists on Montpellier.   Some of the excavations focus on the mansion and property owned by the Madisons.  However, they are also excavating the slave quarters and even restoring them for historical purposes. This is a unique opportunity to be a part of history and to protect history for future generations.  This type of opportunity does not often occur and it will not last forever so it is important to contact Montpellier as soon as possible if you wish to participate in this important excavation and restoration. You can get the information on the remembering history Facebook page. But it is also available at Montpellier.org.  I encourage visiting the Remembering History Facebook page because you will find more specific details and you can ask any questions that you might have.   Again, Montpellier is an important place, not just because it was the home of James and Dolley Madison but also because of its large slave population who lived for 7 generations on the plantation.  The current excavation gives you a chance to be a part of history. And that’s what this podcast is about:  making history!  For more information and pictures, go to the Remembering History website or the Facebook page.   Okay, so let’s leave the plantations now and visit the home of one of the most famous and greatest abolitionists:  Frederick Douglass.   Yes, you can actually visit his home! Frederick Douglass House is part of the U.S. National Park Service. In fact, it has been since 1962.  Frederick Douglass house is one of the most interesting and often forgotten treasures in the Washington, D.C. area.  It is based in Anacostia, Maryland, just minutes from the national capitol.    As you probably know, Frederick Douglass was born into slavery and was purchased by several different kinds of people. Some were cruel. Others were more compassionate. He actually learned how to read (which was illegal for slaves) from a compassionate and brave woman who was married to a man who had purchased him. He eventually escaped and became a very influential abolitionist, orator and writer. He published a newspaper that opposed slavery and published his autobiography called Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, which described his life and thoughts as a slave and the degradations that he suffered under the terrible institution. His autobiography gave momentum to the abolition movement.  Frederick Douglass travelled throughout the United States and Europe speaking against slavery.  As a runaway slave, though, he was constantly threatened with capture but influential friends later purchased his freedom.   Frederick Douglass purchased the house called Cedar Hills (we know it as Frederick Douglass House) in September of 1877. He paid $6,700 for the house and the 10 acres around it. The following year, he bought another 5 acres around the house.  He moved into the house in the Fall of 1878 and remained there until his death in 1895.   The house was first restored in 1922 by the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association and the National Association of Colored Women. It was further restored in 1972 and a third restoration was completed in 2007.  The house and the surrounding land are beautiful and scenic and reportedly have the best views of the national capitol.   As part of the National Park Service, there are today many tours of Frederick Douglass House. In fact, the only way to get inside the house is as part of a tour, which take place throughout the day. One point to highlight is the library. Frederick Douglass was a true man of letters and had an extensive library with books on virtually every imaginable subject.  It has been called the most impressive room in this most impressive house.   A “not to be missed” room in this house is the “growlery”.  This was a special room and I urge you to ask the knowledgeable volunteers about how Mr. Douglass used this room. You will be surprised!   If, unfortunately, you are not able to visit Frederick Douglass House or you just can’t wait to see the interior, then you can also take a virtual tour of the house on the website.  More on this great feature on the Remembering History website and Facebook page—and you will also find helpful information about the opening times, tours, directions and the history of the house. Go visit the website or Facebook page and I hope that you will “like” us there too.   Continuing on with the history of the abolition movement, we have the Black Heritage Trail. Do you know where the Black Heritage Trail is?  Can you guess?  Okay, I’ll just tell you: Boston.  (Yes, there is also a Black Heritage Trail in Columbus, Ohio, too.) But we will focus on Boston.   The Black Heritage Trail links more than 15 pre-Civil War structures and historic sites, including the 1806 African Meeting House, which is the oldest surviving black church in the United States. (You will hear about another church in the last podcast in this series so stay tuned.) The Black Heritage Trail is a path in Boston, Massachusetts, winding through the Beacon Hill neighborhood and other sites that are important in African American history.   Massachussetts was the first state to abolish slavery and, therefore, a large abolitionist community was formed there. And many enslaved persons escaped and sought refuge in the state.   The trail begins at the Museum for African American History in Boston (which is actually located in Abiel Smith School).   The trail includes 10 sites that were known to be part of the Underground Railroad. Stories about the owners and escaped slaves are provided at the houses. At the beginning of the trail, visitors can collect maps and written histories of how the Underground Railroad assisted slaves in getting to freedom. However, it notes the difficulties didn’t end in Boston, particularly after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act and other laws that threatened escaped slaves.  The Black Heritage Trail is an interesting and active historical site that is a strong part of American history.   Take the family. Take the car. Or be prepared to walk, which is always a good idea.  You will find interesting and inspirational stories of real heroism and courage. Never depressing. Always interesting.  Shows how individuals can make a real difference.  For additional information including a map of the Black Heritage Trail, go to the Remembering History Facebook page.  I think that you will definitely like us. But you be the judge.   Finally, there is one last place that I want to mention in this podcast on famous historic sites about slavery and abolition.  This site is slightly different than the others but I hope you will agree that it is very relevant and extremely important—historically and today.  It is called the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.  Based in Cincinnati, the mission of the Freedom Center is to collect and reveal the stories of freedom heroes from the Underground Railroad to the present time. Its goal is to inspire modern abolitionist heroes.    There are stories about true American heroes like Harriett Tubman and her work to help enslaved people escape to freedom as well as her work as a nurse and spy during the American Civil War. The center devotes a lot of resources to fighting modern day slavery as well as recognizing the history of African slavery.   The Center offers a variety of programs for visitors and educators including films, lectures, exhibits, gallery talks and family programs.  In a special section of the center, individuals and groups can learn how to become modern day abolitionists in a three-step program. Spoiler alert: The three steps are:  Learn, teach and act. But there is much more to it and the center is devoted to abolishing modern day slavery.    Less you think that the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a heavy, boring or slightly depressing place, get ready for a big surprise.  Yes, there are parts that are difficult such as the Auschwitz exhibit, there is also interactive and age-relevant stories that are so inspirational and empowering that visitors are left feeling ready, willing and able to change the world!    For additional information about the Freedom Center, take a look at the Remembering History Facebook page—there will be lots of practical information but also interesting commentary and stories. Again, visit the page and hopefully like us there.   So, that is all for today. Great sites: The slave quarters and the slave cemetery at Mount Vernon.  At Montpellier, you can actually excavate and restore the slave quarters.  Then Frederick Douglass House—the world’s most famous abolitionist. The Black Heritage Trail will take you along the Underground Railroad. And finally the  National Underground Railroad Freedom Center shows us how to fight modern day slavery and helps to work as modern day abolitionists. You see, there are so many great African American historical sites throughout the country.  I hope that you have enjoyed this podcast and gotten great ideas about places to go and to take the family this summer.  So much to see. So much to learn.   And, no, we’re not finished. In the next podcast, we are going to visit some unusual historical sites.  They might be surprises but I will give a small hint: think of a very famous, “game-changing” athlete and where he became famous.         And the final podcast in this series is going to take us to the west coast of the United States. Yes, there are a lot of interesting historical sites there—don’t let the people on the East Coast or in the South make you believe that African Americans did not have a strong presence in the west. We did—and you will hear about it in the third podcast.   So, please visit the rememberinghistory.com website or the Facebook page. You will find great resources and information and a great community of history lovers in both places.  Oh, did I mention the books and DVDs that you might also find interesting? Well, I mentioning them now so take a look or listen on the website. I hope that you find them interesting and helpful.   See you next time at rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it.   Bye for now!   Robin      

I'm only a few years behind finally building a dresser for my daughter, but it’s just in time for her to graduate from High School in a couple of years and head off to college. In this first episode of a multi-part build series we talk about my own design process, starting from the rough idea in my head then taking it to the finished plans and drawings. For many, inspiration comes from a variety of places, but for myself it's mostly a result of the family identifying a need and letting me know we need to fill it. While it’s a far cry from being inspired by a mythological muse it’s still very effective and has resulted in some great projects that fill our house.

Tonight on The Front: Madison Ruppert from endthelie.com will be my guest on tonight's broadcast. After featuring a few of Madisons articles on the show I figured we'd cut to the chase and get the goods straight from the source. Ill be asking Madison about the NDAA, Civilian Internees, the rise of the police state, what he thinks it's all for and where he thinks it's heading. Check out Madison's links below.
