SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Washington Crossing Historic Park Book Club invites history enthusiasts to explore the American Revolution through engaging discussion and carefully selected readings. Led by the park’s Museum Curator\, Kimberly McCarty\, the club meets virtually via Zoom and focuses on books that shed new light on the Revolutionary era\, with special emphasis on the events surrounding the Delaware River crossing and the 1776 campaign. Free and open to all\, meetings typically take place on the third Monday of each month and provide an opportunity to connect with fellow readers while deepening your understanding of this pivotal period in American history. \nRunning from Bondage tells the compelling stories of enslaved women\, who comprised one-third of all runaways\, and the ways in which they fled or attempted to flee bondage during and after the Revolutionary War. Karen Cook Bell’s enlightening and original contribution to the study of slave resistance in eighteenth-century America explores the individual and collective lives of these women and girls of diverse circumstances\, while also providing details about what led them to escape. She demonstrates that there were in fact two wars being waged during the Revolutionary Era: a political revolution for independence from Great Britain and a social revolution for emancipation and equality in which Black women played an active role. Running from Bondage broadens and complicates how we study and teach this momentous event\, one that emphasizes the chances taken by these ‘Black founding mothers’ and the important contributions they made to the cause of liberty. \nRunning from Bondage:  Enslaved Women and their Remarkable Fight for Freedom in Revolutionary America by Karen Cook Bell \n\nJune 15 – Introduction – Chapter 2\nJuly 20- Chapters 3-4\nAugust 20 – Chapter 5- Appendix\n\n

SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson Live
DESCRIPTION:John Stewart has been deeply interested in the life of Thomas Jefferson ever since he was a student at the University of Virginia. \nJohn has lectured on Jefferson’s life and influence in American History to schools\, civic groups and business audiences around Florida\, and up the east coast\, for over 30 years. Visit his website\, thomasjeffersonlive.com\, for more information. \nNow\, John portrays Jefferson in clothing\, language\, and ideas.  He will be speaking on “How a Lad from Rural Virginia Came to Write the Declaration of Independence”. He will go into some depth on Jefferson’s thinking and suitability for this watershed event in American history. An important part of his presentation takes the form of answering questions from the audience. You will be entertained by his convincing portrayal of Jefferson\, as well as benefited from his extensive knowledge of Jefferson’s life. \nJohn’s commitment to the preservation of the lessons and examples of historic early American personalities is complimented by his work as past President of the Palm Beach and St. Petersburg Chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution\, his work as state chair of the annual SAR Knight Essay Contest for high school students\, and over 160 appearances before audiences large and small\, and in classrooms\, which focused on teaching the facts about the American Revolution and Thomas Jefferson. Another notable contribution of his is a teaching video by Jefferson requested by the Florida Dept. of Education for statewide classroom enrichment purposes.
