SUMMARY:America’s Tapestry Project Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of America’s 250th anniversary. America’s Tapestry is a project featuring 13 hand-embroidered panels\, one for each of the original colonies\, illustrating the diverse stories of individual contributions–many overlooked–that reveal the struggle for Independence. Panels are created by talented artisans from New Hampshire to Georgia. The Delaware tapestry captures a pivotal moment in the American Revolution\, highlighting the heroism of Major Henry Fisher\, known as the “eyes and ears” of the Revolution. Fisher is depicted firing a signal gun\, alerting Patriot forces to the approach of an enemy ship near the Delaware Bay. Visitors are invited to contribute stitches to the tapestry and observe stitchers as they work. Included with admission. Members free. \nAmerica’s Tapestry will also be at Winterthur on August 6 and 13; September 21; October 26; November 19; December 17; March 14; and April 1.

Wilson.

The symposium will explore broader approaches to how William J. Wilson’s essay can be integrated into American history and how it connects to the legacy of Henry Francis du Pont and the history of Winterthur. It is designed for a diverse audience of professionals\, scholars\, and enthusiasts of African American history and the wider Wilmington community.
