Portrait of a Family: Remembering Mom

By: Mary Ellen (Scarborough) Abbott

This is a book of poems written about the author's family as she reflects after her mother has passed on. It is a celebration of the mother's life, but also a book to minister to others as they walk the same path...."first holidays" without her mom....shares memories of those holidays of her childhood. It speaks of the eight years of Friday night dinners with her mom and her last years of dementia as she and her brother come visit and become known as the Crock-pot Gang. From big extended family Fourth of July picnics in the 1950s to the 2008 Fourth of July celebration with her son and daughter-in-law in Boston, listening to the Boston Pops on the Charles River, her remembrances are shared. Her mothers love of family and the memories of all those years is the essential theme behind the poem. It is a celebration of family. The strength of families is the strength of nations- the strength of the world.

Memory Work

White Ignorance and Black Resistance in Popular Magazines, 1900-1910

By: Mary E. Triece

In the early twentieth century, white-controlled magazines and Black magazines told very different stories about the dynamics of race, sex, and power in the United States. Memory Work: White Ignorance and Black Resistance in Popular Magazines, 1900–1910 examines how popular magazines employed rhetorical strategies to remember, forget, and frame America’s racist past. White-controlled magazines such as the Independent, Outlook, Arena, and McClure’s carried stories of southern nostalgia, union reconciliation, and white purity. Relying on willful ignorance to misremember past experiences of suffering, these texts severed violent histories from present-day policies and often simply remained silent. Meanwhile, in Black magazines such as the Colored American Magazine and the Voice of the Negro, women writers leveraged countermemory. Bringing Black women’s accomplishments into focus, these writers inverted popular white narratives that erased and obscured Black women’s experiences, including those of sexual violence. Mary E. Triece traces how white and Black magazines—often in dialogue with one another—differently engaged memory work to either reinforce or upend white supremacy during a period of both Black advancement and white backlash. Further, the book suggests lines of connection between the construction of public memory in the past to those taking place today across an array of media platforms. Popular debates—whether appearing in early 1900s magazines or on twenty-first-century social media sites—shape a culture’s collective knowledge of what counts as true, important, and worthy of attention.
