Boston - MFA: Kehinde Wiley's John, 1st Baron Byron Kehinde Wiley’s John, 1st Baron Byron (2013) reimagines the traditional grand portrait, placing a young Black man in the pose of a wealthy, white noble to reclaim art historical space for those traditionally excluded. Inspired by a 17th-century portrait by William Dobson, Wiley subverts the classical form by situating his subject against a vibrant, Indian silk-inspired background. Wiley’s process begins in the streets of New York and Los Angeles, where he finds his subjects, remarking, “I know how young Black men are seen… I was one of them.” This bold work challenges conventions, celebrating visibility and individuality within a historically exclusive medium.
The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.

20# An American Airship, The "Macon" the largest airships ever built. In 1934, two two-seat Waco UBF XJW-1 biplanes equipped with skyhooks were delivered to USS Macon.
In June 1934, Lieutenant Commander Herbert V. Wiley took command of the airship, and planned a high-profile demonstration of the ability of the Macon to successfully locate enemy ships at sea. In July, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was travelling aboard the heavy cruiser Houston to Hawaii, accompanied by the New Orleans. Despite the location of the ship being top secret (and having made a detour to Clipperton Island after transiting the Panama Canal), the Macon successfully located the ships on July 19. Using the Macon's Sparrowhawk biplanes, newspapers and magazines were dropped to the president on the ship
Despite its success, Fleet Commander Admiral Joseph M. Reeves and other Navy officials were displeased with the unsanctioned demonstration. However, Rear Admiral Ernest J. King, who was in command of the Naval Bureau of Aviation, and the president were impressed. A communication from the Houston to the Macon after the mail delivery read: "from Houston: 1519 The President compliments you and your planes on your fine performance and excellent navigation 1210 and 1519 Well Done and thank you for the papers the President 1245."
After leaving the Macon, Wiley was one of only three survivors of the crash of the Akron. He was later promoted to commander and captained the battleship West Virginia in the final two years of World War II. He retired from the Navy in 1947 as a rear admiral.
22# An American Airship, The "Macon" the largest airships ever built. Crash:
On 12 February 1935, the repair process was still incomplete when, returning to Sunnyvale from fleet maneuvers, Macon ran into a storm off Point Sur, California. During the storm, the ship was caught in a wind shear which caused structural failure of the unstrengthened ring (17.5) to which the upper tailfin was attached. The fin failed to the side and was carried away. Pieces of structure punctured the rear gas cells and caused gas leakage. The commander, acting rapidly and on fragmentary information, ordered an immediate and massive discharge of ballast. Control was lost and, tail heavy and with engines running full speed ahead, Macon rose past the pressure height of 2,800 ft (850 m), and kept rising until enough helium was vented to cancel the lift, reaching an altitude of 4,850 ft (1,480 m). The last SOS call from Commander Wiley stated "Will abandon ship as soon as we land on the water somewhere 20 miles off of Pt. Sur, probably 10 miles at sea." It took 20 minutes to descend and, settling gently into the sea, Macon sank off Monterey Bay.
Only two crew members were lost thanks to the warm conditions and the introduction of life jackets and inflatable rafts after the Akron tragedy. Radioman 1st Class Ernest Edwin Dailey jumped ship while still too high above the ocean surface to survive the fall and Mess Attendant 1st Class Florentino Edquiba drowned while swimming back into the wreckage to try to retrieve personal belongings. An officer was rescued when Commander Wiley swam to his aid, an action for which he was later decorated. Sixty-four survivors were picked up by the cruiser Richmond, the cruiser Concord took 11 aboard and the cruiser Cincinnati saved six.

The men who carried this position were soldiers indeed
Stonewall Jackson on this field June 28, 1862
Nearing 6:00 P.M. on June 27, 1862, Gen. Robert E. Lee sensed a critical situation in his stalled attack at Gaines’ Mill and ordered a last charge against the Federal line of General Porter’s V Corps above Boatswain’s Creek. Lee sent forward Gen. Whiting’s Division, consisting of Gen. Hood’s Texas Brigade and Col. Law’s Third Brigade. To the left of Gen. Longstreet s position.
The 11th Mississippi, attached to Law’s Brigade, pushed toward the ravine without firing and, with fixed bayonets, toward Gen. Morell’s First Division on the upward slope. A soldier in Co. K. 11th Mississippi, recalled “the famous yell was raised that sent terror to Yankee hearts, and a charge began that broke every line in front of the Confederates.” The Union line collapsed when the Rebels stopped and fired point blank into the exhausted Federals, who retreated up the slope toward the plateau near the river. Whiting’s soldiers on the high ground then captured the better part of two Union regiments and fourteen pieces of artillery near the Watt House.
The following evening, President Jefferson Davis visited the quarters of the 11th Mississippi and congratulated them on their victory, paying high compliments to their conspicuous gallantry.

Call for Children’s March for Survival: 1972 An 8 ½ x 11 color flyer issued by the Children’s March for Survival scheduled for March 25, 1972 in Washington, D.C. contains the symbol for the demonstration and information on the reverse side on the schedule of events and co-sponsors.
The march circled the White House March 25, 1972 protesting planned cuts in social service safety net programs.
U.S. Park police estimated that 10-15,000 attended the demonstration.
The National Welfare Rights Organization principally sponsored the march, although it was endorsed by other organizations. Washington, D.C. schools came under intense criticism for permitting District school children to attend the march.
Social safety net programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), Food Stamps and other minimal income measures were under attack by the Nixon administration and their allies in Congress.
The NWRO was formed in the mid-1960s and was active from 1966-75, involving predominantly low-income African American women. This was the last major demonstration by the group.
By 1972, a split developed in the organization with one tendency led by George Wiley advocating expanding the organization to the working poor and another tendency led by Johnnie Tillmon who advocated pursuing a black feminist agenda. In late 1972, Wiley resigned as Executive Director and Tillmon became the new ED ending the debate.
The organization went bankrupt and ceased to exist in 1975.
Food stamps restrictions were imposed by Congress in 1977 and again in the early 80s, although the program was later expanded. AFDC was effectively ended in 1996 and replaced with Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) which continues in existence today.

Hubbard High School Rich soil, access to railway transportation and the discovery of hot mineral springs attracted travelers, merchants and settlers to Hubbard and the town quickly grew. In 1911, the city council saw a need for a public school system and later that year, the voters elected to use taxes to create and maintain the schools. Once the $20,000 bond was approved and executed, the architectural firm of Field and Clarkson was selected to design the high school. E. Stanley Field and Wiley G. Clarkson designed many public buildings before and after their partnership in Wichita Falls and Fort Worth, respectively. The architects as a team designed a three-story addition to the Fort Worth Stockyards Hotel and the Corsicana First National Bank building. The contractor for the high school was G.W. Brillhart of Abilene who was involved in the construction of the Foard County Courthouse in the Classic Revival style.
Construction on the Hubbard High School began immediately and the school opened in 1914. The imposing two-story red brick and limestone structure was designed in the prairie style with Texas rural Georgian influences. Several notable persons attended this historic school, including Samuel D. Johnson, a judge for the Texas Supreme Court and then a federal judge for the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. This school was the only high school in Hubbard from 1914 to 1978, when a larger school was constructed. At that time, the school fell into disrepair. In the 1980s, a community group rescued the building and established a community center, genealogy center, museums, a library and the Tris Speaker Sports Museum. (2013) (Marker No. 17693)
