SUMMARY:History Conversations | Clara Barton - An American Life
DESCRIPTION:with Ranger Kevin Patti | Tuesday\, March 4 at 2:00 p.m. | Virtual Event |  How 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 Civil War\, a place women did not go? This illustrated talk by Park Ranger 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. Register Here

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | The Work of Women’s Hands: Maryland Chintz Quilts
DESCRIPTION:with former Montgomery History Curator Elizabeth Lay | pre-recorded virtual event |  When we think of 200-year-old quilts\, we imagine humble pieced bed coverings made of scraps. In fact\, the oldest Maryland quilts are objects of great refinement\, made of expensive imported fabrics such as glazed chintz. One of the most important of these is our Clarksburg quilt\, created by Sarah Clark Willson around 1820. Former curator Elizabeth Lay examines the chintz quilt tradition\, the Clark family\, and later chintz quilts in the collection. She will share close-up images of 26 stitches per inch quilting patterns as well as the appliqued compositions\, and also take a look inside the Clark’s Store daybook which provides a snapshot of life and needlework materials during the period. Join Lay for an opportunity to see these quilts in all their glorious detail! Originally aired March 2022.   Recording available March 10 – 16

SUMMARY:History Conversations |  A Lighthouse District: How Montgomery County Launched Recovery High Schools
DESCRIPTION:with Dr. Andy Finch | Tuesday\, March 25 at 3:00 p.m. | Virtual Event |  Recovery high schools have become a key setting supporting the adolescent recovery process over the last fifty years. Dr. Andy Finch is the author of Salvaging a Teenage Wasteland: Origins of the Recovery High School Movement. The book provides the first major historical account of the recovery high school movement from its beginnings in the alternative schools of the 1970s that overlapped with the first adolescent substance use treatment programs. In this presentation\, Dr. Finch will describe the integral role Montgomery County played in the development of recovery high schools. In the fall of 1978\, the county police raided local high schools over the course of the fall semester\, arresting over 300 students for possession or use of drugs. The raids created protests from the students\, and eventually\, parents demanded a program from the school board that would address the district’s drug problem. The result was the Phoenix School\, which opened in 1979 and existed for 35 years. The presentation will explain the origin of that program in Silver Spring\, the addition of a second campus in Gaithersburg\, the fire that destroyed the second campus building\, and the ultimate ending of the Phoenix School program. The author spent nine years researching and writing the book\, involving dozens of staff and student interviews\, and records from the Montgomery County Archives\, local libraries\, and Montgomery County Public Schools. Dr. Finch’s book Salvaging a Teenage Wasteland is available for purchase from Oxford University Press. Dr. Finch has shared a 30% discount code for your use [AUFLY30].

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | To Say Their Names: Researching the Hidden Slavery History of Home
DESCRIPTION:with with Robert Engelman | pre-recorded virtual event |  How much do we know about the enslavement of African Americans that occurred in our own neighborhoods? This project aims to chronicle the history of a three-square-mile area between Kensington and Wheaton. The unifying objective is to bring to light the experience—and ideally the names—of individuals enslaved there. Resources will be offered for neighborhood slavery research.
