“People Like Us” s2e3 (2001)

Hilarious.

Written and directed by John Morton, this is one of the very best episodes.

The language is witty, and there are many big laughs. Best of all, you really feel empathy for the characters.

Thanks, in no small part, to the sublime casting. Nicola Walker, Tim Preece, Susan Earl, and Philip Pickard as the (desperate) staff of a small-town newspaper.

Like many episodes of this sublime mockumentary series, you could easily imagine these characters being spun-off into their own show.

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Theaster Gates, from the "Chicago" episode in the ninth season of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Chicago " premiered in September 2016 on PBS. Watch now on PBS and the PBS Video app: https://www.pbs.org/video/art-21-chic...

Theaster Gates first encountered creativity in the music of Black churches on his journey to becoming an urban planner, potter, and artist. Gates creates sculptures out of clay, tar, and renovated buildings, transforming the raw material of the South Side into radically reimagined vessels of opportunity for the community.

Establishing a virtuous circle between fine art and social progress, Gates strips dilapidated buildings of their components, transforming those elements into sculptures that act as bonds or investments, the proceeds of which are used to finance the rehabilitation of entire city blocks. Many of the artist’s works evoke his African-American identity and the broader struggle for civil rights, from sculptures incorporating fire hoses, to events organized around soul food, and choral performances by the experimental musical ensemble Black Monks of Mississippi, led by Gates himself.

Political notes: Pittman, Anne Arundel Dems confident even though they’re trailing, and more

Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman (D) is currently trailing his challenger, County Councilmember Jessica Haire (R), by almost 11,000 votes.

But Pittman on Wednesday was expressing confidence that when all the ballots are counted — especially the 45,000 or more mail-in ballots, which will begin to be tabulated on Thursday — he’ll win.

“The math suggests that I will be re-elected to a second term,” Pittman wrote in a memo to members of his cabinet Wednesday morning.

The math goes something like this: Of the 45,638 uncounted mail-in ballots, 27,367 were cast by Democrats and 9,830 were cast by Republicans, with the rest coming from unaffiliated voters or members of third parties. Additional ballots postmarked by Election Day or put in drop boxes on Election Day will add to the total of uncounted mail-in ballots. And approximately 6,000 provisional ballots have been cast in Anne Arundel.

“I look forward to communicating with each of you in the coming days about the opportunities before us,” Pittman wrote to his cabinet. “You are the best team in the state of Maryland, and I am forever indebted to all of you for the outstanding work that you do as we aspire to make Anne Arundel County The Best Place — For All.”

Doug Mayer, a Haire campaign adviser, suggested that Pittman may be taking the composition of the mail-in votes for granted, and said the early results are damning enough.

“There is no amount of spin that is going to change the reality that is marked on the ballots,” Mayer said. Of the final outcome, he said, “We’ll know soon.”

The sheer volume of mail-in ballots to be counted in Anne Arundel could also impact half a dozen down-ballot races where Republicans are currently ahead but Democrats believe they have a solid chance of winning. These races are:

The state Senate race in the 30th District, where Sen. Sarah Elfreth (D) is currently trailing businesswoman Stacie MacDonald (R) by 870 votes.

The open state Senate race in the 33rd District, where Del. Sid Saab (R) currently leads attorney Dawn Gile (D) by about 1,600 votes.

The open seat House race in District 12B, where Republican Ashley Arias leads Democrat Gary Simmons by seven votes.

The House race in District 33C, where Del. Heather Bagnall (D) is trailing conservative activist Kerry Gillespie (R) by about 1,100 votes.

The 2nd County Council district, where businessman Noel Smith (R) was leading County Councilmember Allison Pickard (D) by 275 votes.

The 6th County Council district, where former Annapolis Mayor Mike Pantelides (R) is leading Councilmember Lisa Rodvien (D) by 756 votes.

If Democrats win those two council races, they will retain their 4-3 council majority.

After canvassing of the mail-in ballots begins Thursday, the count will continue next Tuesday, Thursday and Friday next week, and a canvass of the provisional ballots begins next Wednesday.

Meet the new boss

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) announced this week that he has hired Chezia Cager as his new chief of staff. Cager will assume the position right after Thanksgiving, replacing Michael Huber, who recently became director of state government affairs for Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Medicine.

“Chezia brings an impressive wealth of government experience, first-hand knowledge of Baltimore, and a comprehensive understanding of how to develop and maintain beneficial partnerships with federal, state, and local governments for more than fifteen years,” Scott said in a statement.

Cager held senior roles in both the Obama and Biden administrations, covering domestic policy, national operations and external engagements.

Cager also worked for former Mayor Sheila Dixon, among other engagements.

“As a Baltimore native, I’m proud that my public service career began right here at home,” she said. “I’m excited to support Mayor Scott’s vision and continue to serve our citizens and City of Baltimore.”

Talkin’ ‘bout their generation

We were alerted to two interesting and nearly identical tweets that went out within an hour of each other on election night.

The first, issued at 9:15 p.m., read, “My name is Joe Vogel. I’m a 25-year-old immigrant, and I just won my race to become the first GenZ legislator in Maryland. “The generational challenges we face call for a new generation of leadership. I’m ready to fight for the future of my community, my state, and my country.”

About an hour later, another tweet went out.

“My name is Jeffrie Long. I’m a 25-year-old black man, and I just won my race to become the first GenZ legislator in Maryland. We need leadership that is representative of every generation. I’m ready to fight for the future of my community, my state, and my country.”

Oh, to be 25 again. For the record, Vogel will represent Montgomery County’s District 17. Long will represent District 27B, which takes in parts of Prince George’s and Calvert counties.

Seeking suggestions

Comptroller-elect Brooke Lierman (D) is soliciting ideas from Marylanders about how her office should operate come January.

“As Brooke prepares to take office … it is important the transition team hears feedback about your ideas to help us tackle the challenges facing our state,” explains a solicitation form on Lierman’s website, which was revamped early Wednesday. “…These can be big, transformational ideas all the way to the little details that just make government work better.”

Lierman, who has represented a Baltimore City legislative district in the House of Delegates since 2015, was elected Tuesday with 57% of the votes tallied so far. When sworn in, she will be the first woman in state history to hold the post.

On the campaign trail, Lierman has pledged to use the comptroller’s office to guide more equitable and climate-conscious statewide policies.

Chapter III: The Packards in Bridgewater

This is the 5th in a series of articles which serializes my family history, which I wrote in November 2017, titled "From Samuel to Cyrus: A fresh look at the History of the Packard Family." Below is the 3rd chapter of that history.

The story of the Packard family in Bridgewater, specifically that of Samuel, Elizabeth, and their children, has many primary sources to support it. [31] Only one of their children would have been, seemingly, born in Bridgewater: Elizabeth Packard (d. 1729). She reportedly married Thomas Place of Boston on November 14, 1665, a fact which cannot be confirmed within available online town records. A major genealogical question is: why did the Packards move to Bridgewater? Assuming they lived in Weymouth, a stone’s throw away from Hingham, this would be a journey of about 17 to 20 miles. By the 1660s, colonists purchased land from indigenous people and Bridgewater had been incorporated by the legislature of the Massachusetts Bay Colony with a town meeting in 1656. [32] The town was “well watered by brooks and streams,” wooded, and agricultural like Hingham or Weymouth, with few hills and plenty of fruit trees. It was the “first interior settlement” of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, making the Packards some of the first settlers in an area 20 miles south of Boston. [33]

The Packards were buying and selling land, especially when it came to Samuel. On December 4, 1662, he was noted as a purchaser of land and landowner in Bridgewater, the twelve-year-old township. [34] A few years later, in 1665, “Samuell Packer” as he was called, he would acquire additional land. Along with John Hayward, Sr., and John Cary (then the town clerk), he would help layout ten “upland” acres in Bridgewater. In October 1666, he would again help lay out land. This land would sit on the Johns and Satuckett Rivers. He would receive money, like others helping lay out the 20 acre lot of land in that area. [35] This role in land laying out land would lead to an evident position in the town’s governmental structure. In 1668, he would be part of a jury that would determine land distributions within the town of Bridgewater, which would affect his own personal self-interest, since he owned tens, if not hundreds of acres in the town as discussed in the next chapter. [36]

In the 1670s, Samuel continued to expand his land holdings. In 1675, 69 acres would be laid out for him, and he would agree to help survey a tract of land called “Common Meddow” in February of the same year. [37] Later that year, Samuel’s son, Zaccheus, would be married to a woman named Sarah Howard, if unsubstantiated genealogical sources have any merit. Zaccheus was living in the town, as where two of Samuel’s sons: John and Nathaniel. [38] Some records point to a "John Pickard" taking political action the same year by signing a petition to the Massachusetts General Court (the name for the legislature) seeking to appeal the decision of a court in Rowley, Massachusetts. [39]

In the years before Samuel’s death in 1684, he continued to acquire land as his children went their separate ways. In May 1681, Samuel and his son of the same name were listed as those who purchased land in the town of Bridgewater. [40] The following year, Nathaniel, one of Samuel’s sons, would marry a woman named Lydia Smith, if existing genealogical records are right. Nathaniel and Lydia would have two children before each of them died in the 18th century: Zachariah (1697-1771) and Mary (1695-1770). [41] Mary would marry into the Leonard family. Nothing else is known about her.

As for Zachariah, he would marry a woman named Abigail Davenport, and have four children: Elijah (b. 1725), Nathan (1733-1798) who was a captain in the Revolutionary War, Abigail (1728-1768) and Nathaniel (1730-1814). [42] When Zachariah died in 1771, he would have a will and inventory that were in keeping with the agricultural lifestyle of many of the Packards. Within his will, he would give his sons Nathan and Nathaniel a “servant” named Peter, his daughter Abigail a “servant boy” named America, and said that a “servant maid” named Ann would be given to his wife Abigail, only set free after her death. [43] The reality of this will seems evident: he is a Christian with “sound and deposing mind” who divides his "quick stock" between his wife and two sons which are above mentioned, along with giving his son Nathaniel his “Smith's shop” with related tools, cider mill, and his gun, and his wife Abigail his personal estate after debt with funeral charges and legacies subtracted. In his inventory, he is listed as owning 214 pounds, 17 shillings, 2 pence of property, which includes a bed & furniture, roundtable, a wooden box, six chairs, warming pan, 3 wash tubs, 12 tinning sheets, old casks, a cheese press, 13 barrels and two hogshead. [44] He also owns an iron kettle, skillet, eight swine (pigs), nine sheep, three cows, tobacco, Indian corn, a gun, cart rope, old scythes, side saddle, and hand saw. This seems to be “normal” by the standards of the Packard family until you get to the last three items:

As Michael added, as quoted on a previous post, "cursive writing style of the time, which wrote lower-case "s" almost the way we would today write "f" except in the final position or after another "s." Hence "history" would look a bit like "hiftory" and "mistress" would look a bit like "miftrefs." Compare the German letter "ß" (Eszett), which is a ligature double "s." The line reads, "The Service of the Negro woman Ann during her Mistress [sic, should be Mistress's] Life." The names of Peter and America are cut off because of some weird feature in PDFs which enlarges pictures. A better picture shall be posted later on this blog.

Hence, he is clearly a slaveowner which was not explicitly stated in his will, except for calling the enslaved people listed above “servants” who are “worth” to him (as “quick stock”) a total of 69 pounds, 4 shillings, 9 pence. Using this measurement, it means that these people constitute almost 33% or one-third of his total property! Through his distribution of enslaved people to his sons Nathan and Nathaniel, daughter Abigail, and wife of the same name, it makes all of these individuals slaveowners as well. No other enslaved people are believed to be owned by other members of the Packard family. It is worth discussing this issue at length since stands against the religious convictions which brought over the Packards to New England in the first place. [45]

In 1700, the first enslaved peoples had been brought into Massachusetts, with some Puritans likely finding slavery of Black Africans repugnant, which may have included Samuel Packard and his children, with bond slavery, captivity, and other forms of bondage outlawed in 1641. [46] While these types of servitude were prohibited, Massachusetts White settlers were involved in “kidnapping, transporting and selling of black Africans.” This was especially the case among merchants in New England, with the region being the most active slave-trading area in the colonies by the 1700s. In some cases, enslavement was even a punishment for a crime, and indigenous people were enslaved as well, with “racial and culture prejudices” never explicitly cited although it evidently the reason. Saying this, it hard to determine why slavery of enslaved Blacks developed in New England at all since there were less than thousand enslaved peoples in 1700, with no staple crop, no necessity for a “large labor force,” and indentured servants sufficed better for many farmers. Still, New England White colonists preferred enslaved peoples to White indentured servants, such as the brother-in-law of Governor Winthrop. Some enslaved Blacks were in perpetual slavery, with the status transmitted to their children. By the 1770s, there was a movement for abolition in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The British government stood behind slaveowners, like Zachariah Packard, refusing to engage in any measures that would impede the slave trade, while courts slowly moved toward granting freedom to enslaved laborers. By 1783, there was a court case involving a Black man named Quock Walker, in which it was asserted that slavery in Massachusetts had been abolished in 1781. Even after this case, slavery continued in the state, but it was clear that the state would “no longer protect the legality of slavery.” [47]

To sum up this information, with Zachariah as a slaveowner, he was part of a well-off White minority that owned human beings in Massachusetts. In order to continue the story of the Packards, it is worth going back to 1683. This year, Samuel Packard Sr. owned land in varied parts of the town, like his son Nathaniel. [48] Later that year, Samuel would make an agreement with Goodman Washburn, helping divide up and survey a 50 acre lot that laid on a meadow. This shows his social standing.

Notes

[31] These include the records of John Cary, Bridgewater town clerk. You can also request original records from the current town clerk, see the Packards in a cemetery within Bridgewater here and here. One source (page 10 of this PDF) even shows that on the “north side of the river” Samuel and Zaccheus Packard were living, another indication of their residence. For more information, see “Finding Primary Sources about Bridgewater” on Ancestry.com (need to login to access). He is even indexed within the town records as certain pages show.

His name is spelled “John Pickard.” He would have also been part of a petition in 1681 and may be the same as the man mentioned here, here, and here. Since Rowley is 56-59 miles from Bridgewater, it is unlikely this is the same person as John Packard.

[42] See the Find A Grave entries for Abigail Davenport, and Nathan Packard. Nathan would marry to a woman named Lydia Jackson in 1758 and have at least two children named Abigail Packard (1763-1828) and Elijah Packard (1766-1832).

Courtesy of Family Search. This means she did not die in 1758 as her Find A Grave entry, cited in the previous footnote, asserts. He gives his grandchildren, the children of his son Elijah, named Abigail, Benjamin, Elijah, and Mary four shillings a piece. John Washburn, Josiah Edson, Jr., and William Hooper are witnesses. They note in a letter in Nov. 1772 that Nathaniel is executor of the estate, with further accounts. His estate is not settled until June 6, 1774 as noted by other documents.
