SUMMARY:Conway - Digging Into Native History in New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest\, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience\, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground\,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here\, inches below the earth’s surface.

SUMMARY:Deering - "If I Am Not For Myself\, Who Will Be for Me?"
DESCRIPTION:“If I Am Not For Myself\, Who Will Be for Me?” George Washington’s Runaway Slave\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOney Judge Staines\, according to the Constitution\, was only three-fifths of a person. To her masters\, George and Martha Washington\, she was merely “the girl.” All she wanted was the freedom to control her own actions\, but her account of escaping the Executive Mansion in Philadelphia\, fleeing north and establishing a life in New Hampshire is not a typical runaway story. Portrayed by Gwendolyn Quezaire-Presutti\, Oney’s tale provides an alternative perspective on the new nation’s social\, political\, and economic development\, from one whose personal experience so contradicted the promise of the principles embodied in the nation’s founding documents.

SUMMARY:North Woodstock - NH Abolitionist Nathaniel Peabody Rogers
DESCRIPTION:New Hampshire Abolitionist Nathaniel Peabody Rogers\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuccessful attorney–and father of eight–Nathaniel Peabody Rogers walked away from his Plymouth\, NH\, law practice in the 1830s for a dangerous and nearly unpaid gig editing a Concord-based anti-slavery newspaper\, the Herald of Freedom. Plymouth State University historian Rebecca R. Noel tells the story of this feisty Granite State native\, one of the so-called New Hampshire radicals. Rogers’ dedication to abolition and racial inclusion took several forms in his relatively short life. He sheltered fugitives in Plymouth and Concord\, co-founded the integrated Noyes Academy in Canaan\, networked with major abolitionists including Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison\, and above all wrote passionate\, searing essays against slavery and racism. Henry David Thoreau admired Rogers’ political zeal and his beautiful nature writing about the White Mountains\, published under the pseudonym “The Old Man of the Mountain\,” and abolitionist poet John Pierpont called Rogers the best newspaper writer in the United States. Rogers’ story shines a light on this lively reform era\, and his contributions to the crusade for social justice still resonate today.
