197526562Long Island New York: Not Published 1975. Ann Ullman Hirsch 1929 - 2017 had formal musical training and education at Juilliard and NYU; she was a passionate musician music educator and administrator. In a career spanning more than 60 years she was well known on Long Island for her extensive musical contributions including founding the Eastern Suffolk School of Music in Riverhead in 1977 and serving as its executive director for 10 years. Pianist and violinist she was a valued member of the L.I. Sound Symphony and was a private piano instructor to children and adults. Named East End Woman of Year in Education East End Magazine Suffolk County NY 1979 and honored by Peconic Bay Zonta at a Celebration of Women in 2013. from her obituary in 27 East and several online sources Collection includes: 1975 A 68-page typed manuscript with 2 annotated working draft copies of "A Basic Guide for the Teaching of Piano" by Ann U. Hirsch. These include tipped-on photographs of students' correct form along with the teaching exercises in the text & with extra image-sheets and 35mm photographic negatives laid-in. One of the drafts has extensive marginal notation. All are accomplished one-side either on quality typing bond paper of the time or copies. The original set is a group of loose sheets; working drafts are in 3-ring binders. Ms. Hirsch' introduction explains her purpose since according to her research - "There are also many fine books both long and short written by great pianists that suggest technical and artistic approaches for the advanced and professional performers but my purpose is hopefully to have written something for those who work primarily with beginners. I have tried to make it personal and informal while at the same time offer specific advice in the areas I consider most crucial. My hope is that if this book were to be published it could be made inexpensively in pocket book size and thus be available on counters in music stores as well as in colleges for all those who study piano and expect to teach it too" With 3 typed original letters from Ms. Hirsch to the music publishers Theodore Presser Co. Sterling Publishing Co. and Prentis Hall Publications all describing the content and asking in similar fashion to consider her book for publication. Included here are these three publishers' rejection-replies & another letter from Dover publishing which also rejected her project for various reasons.

15405African-American Education Pair of photographs depicting the first Catholic elementary school that educated girls of color both free and enslaved which was located at the oldest black parish in the United States St. Augustine's Catholic Church. Circa 1840. Albumen photographs 7" x 5" inches one mounted on board and the other unmounted. The unmounted photo is captioned in cursive at the bottom edge "Catholic School Manderville La". Both photographs show African American nuns assembled with male and female students in front of the school. Religious instruction was one of the few accessible paths to an education for African-Americans in the mid-19th century. At a time when literacy was considered a dangerous advantage the Catholic School at Manderville is notable not just for educating children of color but including girls among that calculus as well as children of both the freed and the enslaved. The property on which the Catholic School of Saint Augustine Church stood was originally part of a plantation owned by Claude Treme who subdivided his estate and sold off large tracts to free blacks and others on a first-come first-serve basis; the school itself was likely founded by Henriette Delille a free woman of color and Juliette Gaudin a Cuban worshippers at St. Augustine's Church who devoted their lives to aiding slaves orphan girls the uneducated and the sick and elderly among people of color. Their particular concern for the education and care of black children aided greatly in the founding the city's early private school for the colored. <br/><br/>Widespread illiteracy among Afrcan-Americans was a cornerstone of white supremacy in the South. The objections to slave literacy were threefold: 1 Slaves did not have the mental capacity for education and would only become confused; 2 Slaves might learn to forge passes to non-slave states; and 3 Insurrection and rebellion might result from slaves reading abolitionist writings. Literacy was so loaded in fact that the new restrictions resulting from Nat Turner's 1842 slave revolt-- only two years after the Manderville Catholic School photographed here was started-- included anti-literacy laws and punishments for slaves who tried to learn to read and write. Yet many African-Americans both free and enslaved found ways around such laws to satisfy their hunger for learning. The main antebellum resource for teaching literacy was the Bible which some whites permitted because they believed the Bible would teach African-Americans about their "divine" role as servants. With the Second Great Awakening which lasted through the 1840s the opportunity for African-Americans to receive an education was greatly expanded by the religious notion that all men and women from every race were in need of salvation and that all redeemed individuals were to be "useful" in God's kingdom; thus clearing the way to a new path for literacy and education among African-Americans through the lens of religious teaching. unknown books
17130African American Education Archive of 4 photographs of racially integrated classrooms 1964-1969. Original silver gelatin print photographs various sizes from 7 x 9" to 7.5 x 11". Images show racially integrated classrooms and schools across the country in Cincinnati Ohio; Harlem New York; and Portland OR. Images from 1964 1965 1967 1969. Two of the photographs show children at study in their classrooms. In the most candid image from Evanston School 1964 8 African American students and 1 white classmate sit and quietly read books at their desks. The 1967 image from Epiphany School in Harlem New York City again shows children in a classroom they all hold Encyclopedias and smile directly into the camera. There is a greater mix in racial makeup of this classroom and the students look at ease with one another. The third photo is a 1965 class portrait of 33 girls and their teacher; 19 of the students are African-American girls. More than any of the earlier class pictures these girls are the most racially balanced and integrated. African American students make up just over half of the class and the girls are posed with Black and White students together in each row. The final photograph from 1969 shows 23 smiling middle school students walk together arm-in-arm at West Sylvan Middle School in Portland OR. Original press caption pasted to verso in part: "Program which developed from discussion about improving race relations led to a talent show put on by Boise School pupils at West Sylvan School Wednesday. In photo Boise pupils are being welcomed." Light handling dents. 1964 1967 1969 photos have original press stamps and handwritten annotations on verso. 1967 photo has 6 thumbtack holes in upper right corner. 1964 photo has 1/2" closed tear along top edge. 1969 photo has 1/2" closed tear along right edge; light rippling to image.
