SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | The Making of a Pearl: The Life of Quince Orchard Resident Ida Pearl Green
DESCRIPTION:with Dr. Kisha Davis | pre-recorded virtual event | Through daily weekday breakfasts with her grandmother\, Dr. Kisha Davis learned stories of family and an African American community in Quince Orchard which went much deeper than the name of her school or a road named Quince Orchard. At 105 years young at the time of this recording\, Mrs. Green was a lifelong resident of Montgomery County. Through her family’s history from slavery through integration of both schools and churches\, her granddaughter shares the complex history of race relations in the county. It is a testament to resilience and turning adversity into something beautiful. Originally aired February 2024

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | Gibson Grove: Gone but not Forgotten
DESCRIPTION:with Dr. Alexandra Jones | pre-recorded virtual event | The historic African American community of Gibson was built on self-reliance\, education\, faith\, and mutual support in a time when African Americans were discriminated against and prevented from attending schools\, obtaining insurance\, and being buried in the same cemeteries as their European American counterparts. This community has all but faded in the memories of many in Montgomery County\, and today the few remaining historical sites are being threatened by the expansion of the Beltway. However\, a new community of advocates has stepped in to save these sacred spots. This talk will explore the history of Gibson Grove and the actions being taken to save the two sites associated with this community. Originally aired January 2022

SUMMARY:History Conversations REWIND | African American Benevolent Societies in Montgomery County and Morningstar No. 88 of Order of Moses
DESCRIPTION:with Diane Baxter and Paige Whitley | pre-recorded virtual event | Benevolent societies in African American communities were an important support center for local black populations in the segregated post-Emancipation era. Historians note their role in not only providing a communal support system to members during times of sickness and death\, but also in building civic identities and training for civic activism. This talk provides an overview of benevolent societies in Montgomery County during Segregation and notes clues public records can provide as to their existence and workings. The case of Morningstar No. 88 of the Order of Moses in Cabin John\, Maryland\, and the remarkable artifacts (some of which are available online through the Montgomery County History Digital Repository) preserved by descendants and others provide additional glimpses into members’ lives and the workings of this organization.  What might be hiding in your attic?
