Hannah, “Mum Bett’s” owner, was angry. She was about to hit Lizzie, “Mum Bett’s” sister, with a hot kitchen shovel, but “Mum Bett” couldn’t let this happen to her sister. She jumped in front to protect Lizzie and got a scar on her face, that remained exposed to show how harshly she was treated. “Mum Bett,” also known as Elizabeth Freeman, performed this heroic act in 1780. There are several accounts of the story. Another version of it is that Freeman had a daughter named Betsy who Hannah attempted

This famous artwork is known as an oil painting. The Runaway was painted during 1958 and measures 35” x 33”. This amazing piece of work can currently be found in the Norman Rockwell Museum in his collection of artworks. This museum is located in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Normal Rockwell used state trooper Richard J. Clemens Jr. to model as the state trooper in the painting and used eight-year-old Ed Locke to pose as the boy. The painting was created at the Howard Johnson’s Restaurant. The Runaway’s

Boston Cremes. Wayne Thiebaud, 1962, (14 in. x 18 in. Crocker Art Museum) This painting is done with oil on canvas. The painting itself holds visual texture and substance. The repetition and sorting is well executed. With some other works, subject matter which is so simple can come off as bland and boring. Yet Thiebaud was able to turn something so simple into a beautiful piece of art. Wayne Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and defined shadowing. All while the attention to detail is divine. With the well

I chose the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe. I primarily chose this tribe because it is one that was influential in my life having gone to school in Bonduel. I have friends among this tribe and have genuinely enjoyed the knowledge and heritage they have shared with me. This tribe is located in Shawano County and covers a span of 22,139 acres. Of this acreage about 73.4% is held in trust while the remaining 26.6% is fee land. The Stockbridge- Munsee Tribe has a total of 1565 tribal members. Of these

Mum Betts was born a slave circa 1742, spending her young adult years in the household of John Ashley in Massachusetts. When Ashley's wife attacked her, Betts appealed to a local abolitionist, who brought her case to the courts. Betts was granted her freedom and 30 shillings in damages in 1781, with the case Brom and Betts v. Ashley. Betts became a paid servant and raised a family on her wages. Mum Bett, or “Mumbet” as she was referred to passionately, proved to be extremely determined in ending

What does one need to be happy? Is it a nice car? Maybe it's a new pair of shoes? What about success? What defines success and what does one need to be successful? The truth is, it depends on one's definition. Success can be defined in different ways. Success could be defined as being financially stable, or it could be something as simple as feeling accomplished with achieved goals. Norman Rockwell’s painting “The Catch” offers refreshing ideas on what it means to be happy and what one needs to

From the early 1740s to 1829, an African-American woman lived and unexpectedly became an important woman in history. Even though most people never heard of her, what she did change how people look at other African-Americans. She was born in the early 1740s to African parents, and she grew up as a slave with her sister Lizzie in Claverack, New York, which is about twenty miles south of Albany. Their owner was Pieter Hogeboom, who was the head of a wealthy Dutch-American family. In 1735, Hogeboom’s

Catharine Maria Sedgwick’s A New-England Tale and Hope Leslie - Opening Doors for Women Limited opportunities for women to share their opinions publicly throughout the Nineteenth century caused an abundance of females to communicate their ideas through writing. Catharine Maria Sedgwick was among the first of American authors to publish historical and other fiction. Much of her work deals with the role of white women in society, especially involving the Cult of Domesticity or True Womanhood

Now with the boilerplate language out of the way, I would like to clearly explain the reason a life long union supporter would want to walk away from being a part of this particular union. As a child, I grew up as a pro-union son of a United Auto Worker who worked 28 years in an iron foundry as a millwright. My father was also a UAW shop steward just like his father had been before he took over that position. Often I found myself sitting around my families' kitchen table at meetings between my

would attend Little Hoopers. Everyday, we would work on ball handling, dribbling skills, and passing skills, along with learning how to shoot the ball properly. All of these techniques combine to make a talented basketball player. Since Stockbridge is a small school, nobody is chosen to be on a team because they are an excellent athlete. In fact, no one is chosen and sometimes students
