We have been spending the week with an Amazing Group of educators from all over the country brought together under the auspices of the gulder Lehrman Institute of Early American History. This is generously supported by the Library Company of philadelphia and the pew center for arts and heritage. We spent the week tossing around ideas about how we might redraw Early American History.

Theory the settlers believed the land they arrive to belonged to them and not the native people so they had a right to be on that land and the native people could be erased. Right, and that is a historical product. There may be some people who came to north america from europe or elsewhere with the idea in th

In curating the exhibition i was , hoping to commemorate the 19th amendment and tell the history of the 19th amendment and how women lobbied to get this amendment passed and ratified. But also ask questions about it. Ask what does it do and what does it not do, and why 1965, the Voting Rights act, was considered a part two of the amendment. 19thif you follow me, i will take you through the exhibition and show you a few of the objects that tell this history. So lets go. We are in the first gallery of the exhibition. I mentioned we have portraits that drive the narrative. I also wanted to include pieces of art, like the one we are looking at.
