SUMMARY:We Didn't Vote for Him: Delaware and the Election of 1860
DESCRIPTION:Every four years we hear that “this is the most important election in our history\,” but what happened in the election of 1860 that took the country into a civil war? Explore the issues to understand why Delawareans didn’t vote for Abraham Lincoln and discover how he won despite not receiving a single vote in ten states. Old State House Site Supervisor Gavin Malone will take you back more than 160 years to the event that historian Gary Gallagher described as “the most fateful election in US history.”

SUMMARY:History Revival: Black Watermen of the Chesapeake with Alexis Aggrey
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: The unique relationship between African Americans and the Chesapeake Bay contains an abundance of untold stories\, as told in the documentary\, Water’s Edge: Black Watermen of the Chesapeake. Join us for a screening of the film with a discussion afterwards with the film’s director\, Alexis Aggrey. \nMid-nineteenth century Maryland offered pseudo-freedom to Black Americans who lived and worked on the water. Between 1790 and 1860\, the population of free Blacks grew tremendously; some 58% of the Black population was free. This was the largest population of free Black Americans in the entire United States\, and watermen were central to the success of these communities. In Maryland\, the tradition of seafood fed millions and offered an opportunity for innovation that extended to both the free and enslaved. Water’s Edge: Black Watermen of the Chesapeake chronicles unsung Marylanders who revolutionized an industry\, dreamed beyond their circumstance and are still keeping this tradition alive today. \nSpeaker: Alexis Aggrey is a director/producer who has worked with public television\, cable\, and museum clients for more than 15 years\, creating documentary content that educates and inspires. \nRegister Here \nDelaware Humanities funding acknowledgement \nHistory Revival: Food and Drink Across Delmarva has been made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
