“To bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” - George Washington For @pinsent_tailoring’s #modernlessmarch challenge I realized I had some relevant things to post! March 3d’s theme is #resistance, and if I’m all about political resistance, my @bostonteapartyships alter ego Mary “Polly” Winegar Young is equally so! Married to freethinking Deist and Son of Liberty Dr. Thomas Young, I portray her as being as passionate about the fight for representation as her husband, and every bit as eager to resist tyranny. My own desire for social justice is certainly present in my interpretation of her. The first image is of me as Mrs. Young and my friend @kissingtheshoreline as Mrs. Abigail May, doing a presentation on Liberty Teas - the herbal teas that many used to replace the imported tea of the United East India Company during the boycott of imported tea. And I must note that while I look down on Washington for being a slaveholder, the above quote from his letter to the Jews of Newport, RI in 1790, has always meant a lot to me as a Jewish person. It’s what this country ought to stand for, even if it has never quite lived up to that promise. #pollywinegaryoung #maryyoung #bostonteapartyshipsandmuseum #boston #bostonhistory #18thcentury #resist #standupfightback #bostonteaparty #dumpthetea #resisttyranny #tobigotrynosanction #topersecutionnoassistance #18thcenturyfashion #18thcenturycostume https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SxkneA05P/?igshid=1jwsg2pqudrm7

Wisdom from our founding fathers. I see this often on my walks across the city. It inspires me every time. 🇺🇸 #inspiration #foundingfathers #tobigotrynosanction #topersecutionnoassistance #americanvalues #freedom #ilovemycountry

Not exactly a selfie for #selfiesunday, but definitely a capture of me feeling like my best self. About to give a tour at the @bostonteapartyships to my parents, wearing the glorious gown by @podgetheteacup which made me feel as beautiful and powerful as any garment has, playing a fierce idealist who embodies what we all hope this country could be. #bestself #historicalinterpretation #museumguide #museumworker #18thcenturyfashion #revolutionarywar #startarevolution #americanrevolution #americanhistory #historicaldress #robeanglaise #historicboston #bostonteaparty #bostonteapartymuseum #bostonteapartyshipsandmuseum #pollywinegaryoung #tobigotrynosanction #daughtersofliberty #topersecutionnoassistance https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SX4IxgjkE/?igshid=h3uuhfne6n5a
