Massachusetts Historical Society is the first historical society in America. Founded in 1791 to "collect, preserve, and disseminate materials for the study of American history, " the MHS is celebrating 225 years of collecting, protecting, and sharing American history, life, and culture.
The MHS collections are particularly well-known for extensive holdings of personal papers from three presidents: John Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. The collections contain many famous documents including Paul Revere's own account of his famous ride and Abigail Adams’s famous "Remember the Ladies” letter to John Adams, where she advocates for the rights of women to be included in the founding of the United States. In addition, the MHS holds several imprints of the Declaration of Independence, and Thomas Jefferson's architectural drawings, among many other treasures.

Hoy me enteré de la existencia de Phillis, que interesante su reconocimiento siendo afroamericana.
Came here as a brit thinking i kinda expext some others to know about the great fire of London so i should learn too
Excellent book, thank you for the fascinating conversation
She said it was raining granite because granite explodes when burned due to air pockets. 😂 😂😂
It's no joke granite explodes
Can u or this lady show me a video of granite block exploding in a fire?
When you can call on Cokie Roberts, David McCollough and Nathaniel Philbrick to talk about your society, you must be something else! I can't wait to visit.

Sorry, waiting for this video to be updated giving credit to Gustave Whitehead for First In Flight in 1901 in Bridgeport Connecticut.
thank you for uploading/sharing, just finished the book today and glad to get some more context of the book itself.
SHAME ON THIS VIDEO for not giving the proper credit to Gustave Whitehead who flew before the WRONG BROTHERS, and Whitehead flew in 1901 with over TEN EYEWITNESSES WHO SIGNED AFFIDAVITS THAT THEY SAW WHITEHEAD FLY IN BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT IN 1901. He may have even flown earlier in 1899.!!!
My favorite Henry James novel.
History is always about His stories,His lies.
Where is the credit to Gustave Whitehead who flew in 1901 in Bridgeport Connecticut to multiple eyewitnesses who signed affidavits? Another inconvenient truth? The replicas flew in Connecticut and in Europe near the museum to Whiteheads honor. There are photos of Whitehead in the air in his plane, Jane's Aviation credits Whitehead with his achievements, I even spoke to the Whitehead family who still live in Connecticut, and the Park Rangers at Kitty Hawk when I spoke to them privately told me they knew Whitehead flew before the Wright Brothers in a controlled, flight and Whitehead may have even flown as early as 1899.
Thanks for bringing this to light, professor.
Rescuing Africans from cannibalism who had no clothes nor Stone tools shouldn't have happened.
Robert Allison has done great with American revolution era history.
Wood is a misguided communist and socialist. He twists history around to meet his own ends. He's a pseudo intellectual and gets his information from the New York times
This isn't the movie. Don't waste your time
Why?
@@EZEKYELize well if you want to, that's your prerogative
Thank you cuz I thought it was da movie
@@spirituallysoaringhigh6089 right! I hate when ppl do this on yt
"promo sm" 🤷
Wow, woody is definitely an activist historian, he's hard to listen to with all of the pandering to leftist talking points.
It was really difficult listening to her because I felt like she was scrambling for the right words to say starting and stopping and I know it’s difficult doing these types of presentations, but I just felt like she was maybe a little unprepared but that’s just me.
Thanks to the staff at MHS for putting this up. I have many friends both here in Boston and elsewhere who will enjoy seeing this. What a great event!
Such intelligent commentators!
Esse fiime é uma estória real! Incrível eu me emocionei muito, pois meu bisavô era um negro escravizado
The bad news is that the Wright Brothers weren't the first. Read "History by Contract"
Overall a good and thought provoking debate but woody did interrupt and a bit too much
This is brilliant. 🎉 maybe use more hashtags in the summary to reach a wider audience. I want to buy this book now. The two party system we have in the UK is also corrosive. But we are stronger together and democracy will prevail.
Wondering presentation! Thoroughly enjoyed it thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this series. I loved GCN
I feel sorry for her... even her name is sad....her story.....her ending 😢 How could she be so great but have endured so much tragedy....I understand she was and is a great poet but I can only imagine her tribulations
"And, ahh, ummm". It's unlistenable.
From the comments, I'm guessing this is more of the usual Cluster B commie nonsense lol.
Even this joker tries to diminish the bible and the power of the word of God. Fred Rogers was a Christian minister who taught what he learned in seminary and in life. The bible heavily influenced Rogers. These numbskulls always try to remove Jesus and God from human actions when they want to exemplify humans. When they want to blame God they remove human failings. Sorry. Fred Rogers was teaching Christianity and the lessons that Christ taught. Deal with it.

Also, I was able to finally find the lovely tune that is used with the opening credits; "Sheep May Safely Graze", J.S. Back BWV 208. Also, an update on the Restoration; the Ludowici Tile Company of New Lexington, OH, has completed the replacement and repair of the roof and with the type of terra cotta multicolored curved tiles that were first installed by that same company in 1909 (they lasted to about 1950 when slate was then put in). The Ibis finial was restored and raised 9' off the roof as it was initially before various thefts by the Harvard Crimson damaged it enough to only be a few feet off the base of the helmed tower basket. The masons also repointed all the failing mortar and repaired all the exterior bricks needing help so as to mitigate further water damage. The whole effect is that the Castle looks like it predates the oldest buildings of the College (Massachusetts Hall 1720) by a whole 100-150 years! As if the Castle was minding its own business along divergent dirt paths (Mount Auburn Street and Bow Street) in a bucolic meadow when all of a sudden, the Massachusetts Bay Colony gang up and erects all these new buildings causing noise and blocking views. Are there any historical photos in your extensive archive that actually shows the CONSTRUCTION of the Castle 1909-1910?
some really good insights from some really great scholars on a really BRILLIANT scholar
The corporation creates dilemmas. To whom is it accountable? Contortions that rule indigenous. Damn! Why did he take the mic from the sister?
Someone should look into my theory that Butler arranged for the North and South to co-sign for each others war loans. The bankers wouldn't deal with Governor Andrews unless there was a General Butler (in charge of collection? I think he supplied both sides with uniforms and such. Carney and friends were ready to loan the money but they wanted to make sure they got paid back (no matter which side won. Democrat Butler had the trust and connections to swing the deal.
Butler was Lincoln's decoy?
Grant trashed (decoy?) Butler as a general but the two were very close and worked together after the war.
The audio is TERRIBLE! I give up!
Stalin said "history is politics applied to the past." Holton and other leftists whole-heartedly agree.
Wow, I lucked up finding this as I am missing Now and Then!!!!
Best video ever of a complicated restoration project on a neo-Flemish castle! That sounds like a lot of work! Amazing that it only took about 9 months to build.
thank you for making this available for so many to watch and appreciate!
Last time I watch that movie I wanted to fight seriously those called superior Evvvi God's called white they are Evil reincarnate and why did djimoun Houston after the movie marry a white girl what a shame fake ass people. You people are not a shame about what your people did to our ensesters all the police are doing is killing black men I just want to know why???
Hello! I have been helping my children do a history project and found out we are descendants of Mary! Where can I find more about her family tree and her life?
If you click on this link, you'll find hundreds of results including letters to and from Mary: www.masshist.org/projects/search/index.php#0/20/terms/mary%20smith%20cranch/f//g/ If you need more help, please email [email protected].
This is a perfect example of "self-hating" Catholics that have been so popular in our "post-modern age." Why is Gallagher "beating a dead horse" and accusing the Catholic Church of being ANTI-JEWISH. That bullshit has been proven time and time again to be NOT TRUE. Get over it dude. Why are you in the church that you think is so evil? Leave it and become a jew, if you don't like it. It almost is like you are trying hurt the Church from the inside. WOW ?
Just finished the book: I could not put it down. One thing that would have helped me to follow the murder events was if a map had been included .
The Wrights were unique in their truly scientific approach to flight. Everything from their wind tunnel, engine design and wing and propellor design were done in a methodical way others had never done.
Was hoping this would actually be about the book.
