Demographic estimates sugge st that fifty percent of whites in the United States have at least one anc estor who belonged to the Ku Klux Klan at some point in its history. Edwar d Ball\, a descendant of a Klansman\, tells the story of his ancestor. Bal l's great-great grandfather\, Constant Lecorgne\, had a career in white te rror of notable and bloody completeness: massacres\, night riding\, masked marches\, street rampages?all part of a tireless effort that he and other Klansmen made to restore white power when it was threatened by the emanci pation of four million enslaved African Americans. To offer a non-white vi ew of the Ku-klux\, Ball includes the voices of descendants of African Ame ricans who were once victimized by "our Klansman." \n \nThis program is f ree\, but pre-registration is required through Zoom.

To study them\, each ship was disarticulated an d the individual timbers were laser scanned\, allowing researchers to virt ually reassemble the ships and develop theoretical reconstructions of how they would have looked when they were in use. These highly accurate digita l timber models were 3D printed and assembled by a master ship model maker \, further informing these reconstructions. The four ships are now on two different preservation journeys. The Hotel Indigo ship was sent to the Con servation Research Laboratory at Texas A&M University for conservation by freeze drying\, and the three Robinson Landing ships were submerged in a p ond at Ben Brenman Park this spring. Hear the latest findings and discover what was learned through digitally reconstructing the four ships. \n\nCh ristopher Dostal is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Anthropo logy's Nautical Archaeology Program at Texas A&M University\, where he is also the Director of the Center for Maritime Archaeology and Conservation\ , the Conservation Research Laboratory\, and the Director of the Analytica l Archaeology Laboratory in charge of scanning the four 18th century ships excavated in Alexandria.

In August 1837\, a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her four children to James H. Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He trans ported them to the Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her two youngest children and was restrained from harming the others. In October\ , she appeared before the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not gui lty by reason of insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent white men\, such as then-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney Fra ncis Scott Key\, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of Afr ican American agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an enslav ed mother feels death is better for her children than life in bondage. Dr. Alison Mann serves as the Historian at the National Museum of American Di plomacy\, U.S. Department of State as a subject matter expert in the field of diplomatic history\, 19th century American history\, public history\, and education.
