  • AMANDA GORMAN - American Poet (1998 - present)

 Amanda S. C. Gorman is an American poet and activist. Her work focuses on issues of oppression, feminism, race, and marginalization, as well as the African diaspora. Gorman was the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate.

   She was the youngest inaugural poet in American history when she wrote and recited her original poem, "The Hill We Climb."  

 She has a speech impediment - saying the letter "r" is particularly difficult for her.  As a kid, Amanda started writing poetry to help her find her voice.  Then, in high school, she began reciting her poetry out loud.  This helped improve her speech.  She also credits singing songs from the musical, "Hamilton" which helped her as well!

  • Today we celebrate Native American interpreter Sacagawea.

Famed American explorers Lewis and Clark would not have made it very far without Native American interpreter Sacagawea. Born in Idaho in 1788, Sacagawea was about 12 years old when she was captured by an enemy tribe and sold to a French Canadian trapper who made her his wife. Three years later, Lewis and Clark hired her husband to accompany them on their famous journey, and a pregnant Sacagawea was invited to come along as a Native American interpreter. She proved to be much more than an interpreter, however, and acted as more of a naturalist and “cultural ambassador” as the expedition traveled through previously uncharted lands. By the time the expedition reached the Oregon coast, Lewis and Clark thought so highly of Sacagawea that she was given an equal vote with the men on where to build the fort and which routes to take on the way back east.

Most people know the story of Helen Keller’s childhood. The inspiring story of the little girl stricken blind and deaf by illness as a toddler, who learned to read and speak. Fewer people are familiar with Keller’s adult life, when she became an acclaimed writer and activist. After becoming the first deaf and blind person ever to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in college, Keller embarked on a life advocating for others. She was a suffragist, pacifist, and radical socialist who fought for the rights of people with disabilities. In 1920, she helped found the American Civil Liberties Union (the ACLU). She devoted much of her adult life to raising money for the American Foundation for the Blind. She traveled the world giving inspirational speeches, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1964.

Perhaps the finest nature writer of the Twentieth Century, Rachel Carson is remembered more today as the woman who challenged the notion that humans could obtain mastery over nature by chemicals, bombs, and space travel than for her studies of ocean life.  Her sensational book, Silent Spring,  (1962) warned of dangers to all natural systems from the misuse of chemicals and pesticides. She is considered the writer who initiated the contemporary environmental movement.

  • Amy Beach--born Sept. 5, 1867. Because women composers were such a rarity, she grew up wanting to be a concert pianist even though she was quite a gifted composer. Her mother discouraged her dream, but her husband encouraged and supported her in her pursuit. Largely self-taught, she was the first woman to have her work played by a major American symphony orchestra when her Gaelic Suite was played by the Boston Symphony in 1896. 

Because of naming conventions of the time, she was still known as Mrs H.H.A. Beach, and critics linked the strengths or weaknesses in her works to being a woman, rather than judging the works on their own merits.  Her 1900 piano concerto in C-sharp minor is thought to reflect her battle for musical identity against her mother, her husband, and the orchestral community.

 

When her husband died in 1910 she went to Europe to reclaim her freedom and identity, and in 1912, going by the name Amy Beach, she started giving concerts again. Thereafter, she spent winters touring and summers at home in Massachusetts composing. In between composing and performing, Beach also supported the careers of other young composers.

  • Queen Liliʻuokalani    (lee lee oo oh ka la knee) 

    • Liliʻuokalani was the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii. Upon taking the throne she wrote a new constitution that would restore veto power to the monarchy and enable economically disenfranchised Native Hawaiians and Asians to have voting rights and a voice in the political process. That constitution never became the law of the land as she was illegally overthrown by American and European businessman, supported by the U.S. military, who were threatened by these new governing views of the Queen.

    • Imprisoned in her own palace, where she was locked away to its second-floor for nearly a year, Liliʻuokalani wrote her memoirs and composed mele (songs) such as “The Queen’s Prayer” and “Aloha ʻOe,” regarded famously today as a lament for the loss of Hawaiʻi nation.

    • As a lone woman in the face this forceful removal from her rightful rule, she’s remembered for her resilience, belief in peaceful resistance and her attempts to re-empower the people of Hawaii over corporate interests.

The most popular of her four novels is Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937. She also wrote more than 50 short stories, plays, and essays. She was among the most influential authors during the Harlem Renaissance, a movement of the 1920s and 1930s, centered in Harlem, that celebrated black traditions, the black voice, and black ways of life. It instilled in African Americans across the country a new spirit of self-determination and pride and definitely something worth knowing about. It is more than worth a Google Search.
