SUMMARY:Yours for the Oppressed\, Harriet Myers - an exhibit celebrating Black Women Activists
DESCRIPTION:Yours for the Oppressed\, Harriet Myers\nCome view the first such exhibit to be installed at The Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence. Yours for the Oppressed\, Harriet Myers features pieces chosen by our museum’s Special Collections curator in honor of Black  Women’s contributions to social justice in America. The exhibition centers around an 1860 letter written by Harriet Myers to white abolitionist John Jay II which is graciously on loan from the John Jay Homestead in Katonah\, NY. \nOther works on display are publications edited and co-written by Harriet and Stephen\, as well as examples of Black abolitionist embroidery\, and artwork highlighting the continuation of the movement. We are excited to share with you not only the life of Harriet Myers\, but how her activist legacy continues to this day\, exemplified by five local Black women: Didi Delgado\, Jamaica Miles\, Leah Pennimen\, Barbara Smith\, and Tabetha Wilson. \nHarriet’s handwritten one-page letter is a treasure trove of information about UGRR activism\, the role of female abolitionists\, and the political climate of the 1860’s in the Capital Region. \nA gem to behold\, following the grand opening this letter will be on display during public visiting hours of 5pm-8pm Mondays-Fridays and 12pm-4pm Saturdays. \nMasks covering nose and mouth will be required when inside The Myers Residence if you have not been fully vaccinated. Disposable masks are available at The Residence. Donations are welcomed in support of this exhibit. Donations can be made at The Myers Residence and online at https://undergroundrailroadhistory.org/donate/ \n\nQuestions? Call 518-621-7793. \nSee you at the exhibit! \n

SUMMARY:FreedomCon 2021 - Documenting Racially Restrictive Covenants in Washington DC: A Primer
DESCRIPTION:Mara Cherkasky first wrote about racially restrictive covenants in the mid-1990s and has been systematically documenting and mapping them in Washington\, DC since 2014. Reviewing more than 100\,000 property records and thus far finding racially restrictive covenants on more than 20\,000 DC properties\, Ms. Cherkasky will explain what racially restrictive covenants are\, their formulation in public policy\, and their relationship to the development of housing segregation in the District of Columbia. Additionally\, she will describe the process by which she and her collaborators developed a methodology for researching and documenting racial covenants.\n  \n \nMara Cherkasky is a DC-based historian and writer\, and the co-founder in 2014 of both the historical research firm Prologue DC\, LLC\, and the digital public history project Mapping Segregation in Washington DC (www.mappingsegregationdc.org). \nMara has also produced exhibit panels\, books and articles for print and online publications\, multi-media presentations\, and historic site signage for clients such as the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia\, Cultural Tourism DC\, and the Union Station Redevelopment Corporation. A meticulous researcher\, she has assisted the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum\, WETA-TV\, the DC Historic Preservation Office\, the Historical Society of Washington\, D.C.\, and many others with projects. She is also as an experienced oral history interviewer and walking tour guide. \nCurrent/recent projects include mapping the ca. 1912 destruction of the African American community on Meridian Hill; developing a 100-site DC African American Civil Rights Tour; and creating a Heritage Trail (signs with text\, maps\, and images) for the Northeast DC neighborhood of Eckington. \nMara holds a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Master’s degree in American Studies from George Washington University.
