This week’s Symposium Spotlight was on Chris Mackowski.

In observance of Black History Month, Meg Groeling wrote about William Cathey  and Dwight Hughes covered slaves and sailors. Additionally, we featured a piece from the ECW Archives by Steward Henderson on the inspiration of Frederick Douglas. We also had posts from guest author Jon-Erik Gilot on Anthony Wren, and guest author George Hettenhouse on Captain Richard Etheridge.

On Thursday, we opened our observance of Women’s History Month.
