Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2020 Philip S. Klein Book Prize Winner, Pennsylvania Historical Association Known as America’s most historic neighborhood, the Germantown section of Philadelphia (established in 1683) has distinguished itself by using public history initiatives to forge community. Progressive programs about ethnic history, postwar urban planning, and civil rights have helped make historic preservation and public history meaningful. The Battles of Germantown considers what these efforts can tell us about public history’s practice and purpose in the United States. Author David Young, a neighborhood resident who worked at Germantown historic sites for decades, uses his practitioner’s perspective to give examples of what he calls “effective public history.” The Battles of Germantown shows how the region celebrated “Negro Achievement Week” in 1928 and, for example, how social history research proved that the neighborhood’s Johnson House was a station on the Underground Railroad. These encounters have useful implications for addressing questions of race, history, and memory, as well as issues of urban planning and economic revitalization. Germantown’s historic sites use public history and provide leadership to motivate residents in an area challenged by job loss, population change, and institutional inertia. The Battles of Germantown illustrates how understanding and engaging with the past can benefit communities today.

She became interested in medicine at an early age and decides to pursue it as an adult. Unfortunately, her desire to start a career goes against the social conventions of the day.

Download or read book The Guidebook to Historic Germantown [Pennsylvania] written by Charles Jenkins and published by Heritage Books. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Charles F. Jenkins, this guidebook is not a history; it presents the main historic facts arranged so that "the sightseer may have no trouble in finding and identifying each particular site." Germantown's "conception and settlement, the nationality and character of its early settlers, its architecture, its industrial life and enterprise - gave it marked individuality. It was the threshold over which entered the great German immigration which brought many modifications in language, manners and religion to the commonwealth and nation. It was the home, on two occasions, of the President of the United States and members of his cabinet - All these incidents and more make it an important spot in our country's history and growth." Opening with a chronology of Germantown, the author provides dates of significant events, beginning with the arrival of Francis Daniel Pastorius in Philadelphia in 1683, up to 1854, when Germantown was made part of Philadelphia. This timetable is followed by a partial bibliography, giving references to publications for those looking to dive deeper into the town's past. The author then discusses how pioneers traveled to Germantown using steam cars, the settlement of the town, the historical importance of Main Street and the buildings that occupied it, excursions through the East and West sides of Germantown, The Battle of Germantown, a biography of Francis Daniel Pastorius, and a list of the streets of Germantown. Several charming illustrations enhance the text. A full-name and place index concludes this work.

This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roots of Educational Inequality chronicles the transformation of one American high school over the course of the twentieth century to explore the larger political, economic, and social factors that have contributed to the escalation of educational inequality in modern America. In 1914, when Germantown High School officially opened, Martin G. Brumbaugh, the superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia, told residents that they had one of the finest high schools in the nation. Located in a suburban neighborhood in Philadelphia's northwest corner, the school provided Germantown youth with a first-rate education and the necessary credentials to secure a prosperous future. In 2013, almost a century later, William Hite, the city's superintendent, announced that Germantown High was one of thirty-seven schools slated for closure due to low academic achievement. How is it that the school, like so many others that serve low-income students of color, transformed in this way? Erika M. Kitzmiller links the saga of a single high school to the history of its local community, its city, and the nation. Through a fresh, longitudinal examination that combines deep archival research and spatial analysis, Kitzmiller challenges conventional declension narratives that suggest American high schools have moved steadily from pillars of success to institutions of failures. Instead, this work demonstrates that educational inequality has been embedded in our nation's urban high schools since their founding. The book argues that urban schools were never funded adequately. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, urban school districts lacked the tax revenues needed to operate their schools. Rather than raising taxes, these school districts relied on private philanthropy from families and communities to subsidize a lack of government aid. Over time, this philanthropy disappeared leaving urban schools with inadequate funds and exacerbating the level of educational inequality.
