@Crystallynnweb's superb paper shows how humanitarian discourse was racialized, *and* how early 19c African Americans engaged in "daily activism" to resist the definition of black motherhood as categorically "unfit." #AM2969 #OAH19

@Crystallynnweb analyzes why some black mothers surrendered children to charitable institutions-- fearing their enslavement; while other children taken forcibly because black families seen as "contaminating." Some regained custody thru courts, others by abduction. #AM2969 #OAH19

@Crystallynnweb: African American children were initially denied entry into orphanages & other charitable institutions. They were just not considered a concern of humanitarians in early 19c. "Childhood became racially institutionalized" by this means. #AM2969 #OAH19

Jennifer Hull's beautifully written paper explores prescriptions vs actual agency. Urban black working women in 19c did not remain silent even when their own community's newspapers admonished them to. They "defined streets and sidewalks for their own purposes." #AM2969 #OAH19

Jennifer Hull: The black working women who called themselves Daughters of Israel dared to organize a procession in early 19thc NYC. They paraded publicly in early evening, in white dresses, respectable caps. Not dissuaded though rebuked by newspapers. #AM2969 #OAH19

Great paper by @BermanCassandra powerfully analyzed how slave mother was "central to exposing slavery's horrors and hastening its abolition." #AM2969 #OAH19 #womenshistory

Some contemporaries were horrified by actions of Margaret Garner; others praised her, explaining that "all her passion that of a woman's fondest love." @BermanCassandra #AM2969 #OAH19

@BermanCassandra argues motherhood could be source of power for white women but "intensified vulnerability" of enslaved black women. #AM2969 #OAH19
