Abigail Pilot Interview Report

Elizabeth Keckley was born a slave in Virginia, USA in February 1818. She worked as a slave in Virginia until the age of 14 when she was moved to North Carolina. After 30 years of suffering after suffering as a slave, she eventually gained a group of supporters and she bought her freedom in 1855. She moved to Washington in 1860 and eventually worked for the parliament as a dressmaker.

American journalist Clare Boothe Luce writes a speech to the Women’s National Press Club about how the press sacrifices sensationalist stories. Luce’s introduction talks about how the American press is wrong and how she tries to address the problem. She starts off by tells the other journalist how she is happy, but the audience makes her unhappy and challenged. This shows her hard work in writing and how the press lacks in writing true stories.

In the early 1940’s Marie was born into a small tight knit family living in a small rural Kentucky town. Marie is now in her seventies and has led a very interesting life traveling the country, raising four children, and shaping her chosen profession. Our interview sessions were conducted over a period of time, as Marie is very active and has little “free time” to spare.

This joy for African Americans soon ended when they realized that the leeway for their rights got smaller each day, as the North began focusing on other issues and Southern Democrats began slowly rising back to political power. A former slave woman in Texas recounts the violence and reality of being a freed person. She states her master made her work months after she was legally freed, and that she could see lots of former slaves hanging from trees. Her point of view, as an African American woman, is significant because she gives us insight on the price that came with being freed in the South(Document 5). Southern states learned ways to work around federal racial protection laws just to oppress and make African Americans feel like second class citizens again.

She spent eleven years after her escape, to help escort slaves who were wanting to run away. The routes she would take to help slaves escape was long, and really showed her effort into wanting to get them away. (Doc. A) Though the missions she had went through are not complete nor are they all noted, based off of the information given, she started her missions at the age of 28 and her last mission was noted to be at the age of 38.

"You must go, Abigail. Get away from the road and hide. You must not be seen, you must not be heard. Keep safe, and keep what you hold safe until it can be used to punish those who ... to punish our enemies. We will lead them on as long as we can." Her mother nodded to her, a hint of a fierce smile upon her face. "The fog will come. Use it and the water, and your senses, to take you as far from here as you can. Trust wisely ... more wisely than did your father. Go now, and remember that you, and Collen, and Therese as well ... always have my love."

One of the most prominent social advances that various African Americans made following the Emancipation Proclamation and the civil war was gaining economic independence and social outspokenness. Jourdan Anderson, an emancipated slave, enslaved in Tennessee, who later moved to Ohio is an example of both. When asked to move back to Tennessee to work for his old master, he asked for back pay for the time he and his wife worked for him as a slave and said, “We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers.” He also compares the freedom he has in Ohio as a freedman to what thing would be like back in Tennessee. He says, “As to my freedom, which you say I can have, there is nothing to be gained on that score.”

Finally, whether it is in press releases or longer feature stories, I have become passionate about writing. When I interview people, it allows me the opportunity to get to know the person behind the story. I enjoy the opportunity to form relationships. For example, when I wrote for my university’s public relations department for two school years, I had the opportunity to form professional relationships with professors in the school of pharmacy. One of the pharmacy professors enjoyed the time I spent interviewing him, that he offered me the opportunity to be a guest blogger for the Center for Bioethics at our university. The Center for Bioethics has featured interviews with the President and General Counsel of the National Center for Life and Liberty, David C. Gibbs III and Project Coordinator and Writer for Concerned Women for America, Hannah Wegman. That pharmacy professor now serves as a reference for me.

Months past, years past and Abigail hated it in her new city. “I have thought long and hard about my final decision that am going to make, it may shock some people, but that’s okay. Hopefully I will leave on a good note like John Proctor did.”

Elizabeth: Show some respect, Abigail. Who were the people that brought you here? Who gave you food and work? Who helped you develop yourself to be who you are right now?

The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of pilots flying multiple types of aircraft in an experimental setting. Pilot performance will be assessed by written tests and simulator sessions. This study will build on a previous field study, Pilots Flying Multiple Aircraft Types or Multiple Flightdeck Layouts, which was conducted for AVS 4504 Aviation Safety Analysis. The results of that study showed a need for a simulator study to further identify if pilots have issues maintaining currency in multiple types of aircraft.
