Eskimo Medicine Man, Alaska, Exorcising Evil Spirits from a Sick Boy Medicine Man, Eskimo; People; Twentieth Century; Home missions; Russian Orthodox; Alaska; Native Americans; assimilation and resistance; Native American religions; Northwest; Shamans Unlike-most-denominations-in-America-which-moved-from-East-to-West, Russian Orthodoxy came first to the West: to Russian America, or Alaska. Thus, the native Alaskans first heard the Christian message not as dispatched from Boston or Philadelphia, but Moscow. (Doc2)

One of the most pervasive challenges faced by Russian Orthodox missionaries in Alaska, in addition to the elements, insufficient resources, and cultural barriers, was that of the traditional Native practice of shamanism. The shaman, a term which originated in Siberia and which means "he who knows," possessed quasi-magical powers and was capable of protecting his followers from the powerful, often destructive forces believed to permeate the universe. Often serving as chief, priest, physician, and judge, the shaman was perhaps the most influential of tribal members. (LoC)		 Courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Thus, the native Alaskans first heard the Christian message not as dispatched from Boston or Philadelphia, but Moscow. (Doc2)

Two distinctive features of Native paganism -- reverence for totems and mummification -- created some of the most pervasive challenges faced by Russian Orthodox missionaries in Alaska. The numerous totem poles found in Alaska reflect the Natives' animistic beliefs, wherein a group is protected by a singular plant or animal whose image symbolizes their origin and familial unity.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton, seated, and Susan B. Anthony, standing, three-quarter length portrait Anthony, Susan B.; People; Twentieth Century; Feminism; Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Susan B. Anthony; Suffrage Some women found in the Bible the sanction for their reforming efforts, the grounds for their emancipation. Others, however, saw the Bible – at least as presently translated and widely understood – as a major part of the problem. Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902), feminist of great impact, joined with Quaker preacher Lucretia Mott in organizing the famous 1848 convention for women’s rights at Seneca Falls, New York. Later working with Susan B. Anthony , Stanton took women’s suffrage as her chief cause. (Doc2) Courtesy of the Library of Congress.

John Brown, The Martyr Brown, John; People; Nineteenth Century; John Brown; Abolitionists; Slavery/Civil War; Harpers Ferry Idealized portrait of John Brown (1800-1859), an abolitionist who took direct action to free slaves by force. Following his raid on the arsenal at Harpers Ferry, in mid-October 1859, he was convicted of treason, conspiracy, and murder. One of the most controversial abolitionists, Brown was regarded by some as a martyr and by others as a common assassin. Brown's dignified bearing in prison and at his trial moved many spectators. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that Brown's death would "make the gallows as glorious as the cross." This image shows a heroic Brown being adored by a slave mother and child as he walks to his execution on December 2, 1859. (LoC) Courtesy of the Library of Congress.

Dr. W. E. B. DuBois DuBois, W.E.B.; People; Twentieth Century; W.E.B. DuBois; African-American Religion; Civil Rights During the racial-justice nadir of the Progressive Era the first important challenge to the view espoused by Booker T. Washington came from W.E. Burghardt DuBois (1868-1963), a Massachusetts-born Harvard PhD who had become a professor of sociology at Atlanta University in 1897. In "The Souls of Black Folk" (1903) DuBois condemned the "Atlanta Compromise" and the whole notion that the pre-Civil War strategy of the free Negroes should now be changed "from a by-path into a veritable Way of Life." He saw, too, that religion was a fundamental part of this way of life, and in the same year published "The Negro Church," the first scholarly work in the field. By 1915 DuBois had repudiated the notion that "God or his vice-gerent the White Man" should define the Negro's goals, and was seeking to awaken the self-consciousness of the Negro masses. In this sense he was frankly a "race man"; and in 1934 he broke with the NAACP by taking a position on the "segregation issue" which was then held by only a small black minority and almost no whites:
"There should never be an opposition to segregation pure and simple unless that segregation does involve discrimination. . . . Never in the world should our fight be against association with ourselves, because by that very token we give up the whole argument that we are worth associating with."

Portrait of Lyman Beecher, Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet Beecher Stowe Beecher family; People; Nineteenth Century; Lyman Beecher; Henry Ward Beecher; Harriet Beecher Stowe; Mathew Brady; Congregationalists; Ministers; Slavery/Civil War; Authors; Novelists; Abolitionists Sometime after 1860, Lyman Beecher (1775-1863) left Boston to live in Brooklyn with his son, Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), popular pastor of Plymouth Congregational Church. Though the younger Beecher's ministry of love and redemption contrasted strongly with his father's strict Calvinist philosophy, both he and his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), carried on their father's opposition to slavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe's 1852 novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," rendered her tragic subject in a style that combined heartfelt conviction with endless documentary detail, and the book made her the best-known author of her generation.

This image was made around 1861, when Henry Ward Beecher, as editor of the national magazine "The Independent," began to call for ever more radical action from Lincoln to end slavery and bring the war to a close. Brady's photograph of two famous siblings and their renowned father record a distinguished American family and three important intellectual leaders.

William Cullen Bryant Bryant, William Cullen; People; Eighteenth Century; William Cullen Bryant; Mathew Brady; Abolitionists; Editors; Unitarians William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878) was a young lawyer when his poem "Thanatopsis" first appeared in the North American Review in 1817. Inspired by the romantic lyrics of William Wordsworth, Bryant found his subject in the American landscape, especially that of New England. By 1825, critics on both sides of the Atlantic called him the finest poet in the United States. But reputation alone could not support his family, and in 1826 Bryant joined the New York Evening Post. By 1840, Bryant had largely abandoned poetry to become one of the country's leading advocates for abolition. From 1856 on, the Evening Post was a Republican paper, supporting the arming of abolitionist settlers in Kansas, deriding the Dred Scott decision, and celebrating John Brown as a martyr. In 1860, Bryant introduced Abraham Lincoln before the audience at Cooper Union in New York. Later, Bryant and the Evening Post influenced Lincoln's decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.

Sister Cecelia Cecelia, Sister; People; Nineteenth Century; Sister Cecelia; Roman Catholicism; Religious orders; Daughters of Charity; Slavery/Civil War; Themes; benevolence; charity work; hospital work Both northern and southern politicians had prepared to raise armies even before secession began in the spring of 1861, but virtually no provisions had been made for the care of wounded and sick soldiers. With the declaration of war, military and civilian groups began to organize relief efforts, build hospitals, and train the volunteers to provide nursing care. Catholic women's communities, with a long tradition of caring for orphans and the sick, provided trained nurses. More than six hundred sisters worked in hospitals throughout the North and South, the largest number coming from the Daughters of Charity based in Emmitsburg, Maryland. In this photograph, Sister Cecelia wears a black woolen dress, white muslin cap, and black veil, the typical habit of the Daughters of Charity.
