~Matching Grant Challenge Update~
The Dred Scott Statue Campaign
THANK YOU!
To all who supported the Matching Grant Challenge. With your help, we have reduced the balance from $70,000 to $22,000.
One of our special donors was a precious 5 year old who sold eggs from
her chicken and donated 5 dollars! Another faithful supporter donated
quite generously, not once, but twice!!
If
you meant to give and forgot or just were not able, we appreciate your
intention. It's not to late, whatever contributions you make are
always appreciated. We are blessed and thankful for the amazing
support to bring this $250,000 cost for Harriet and Dred Scott's
memorial almost to fulfillment. In these challenging days,
this is good
news.

Springfield Historical Ladies
On Saturday, April 26, 2014, the Mary Whitney Phelps Tent N. 22 of Daughters
of Union Veterans of the Civil War 1861-1865 held a luncheon for Dred
Scott's great-great granddaughter. Lynne Jackson was the keynote
speaker and had the honor of sharing the Dred Scott stories with three
historical descendant groups. Board member Yvette Goods was also a
guest as they traveled there and to Marshfield, MO that weekend for the
Reconciliation Forum.
Along with the DUV of Springfield, MO, the
local Colonial Dames and Daughters of the American Revolution also held
the joint luncheon together in the Tower Club. It was a wonderful
gathering of women whose love of American history and their own
ancestral ties made for an exceptionally engaging afternoon.
One
of the members is a descendant of the Long family (who owned the land
in Chesterfield, MO - Long Rd.) shared how her ancestors gave the land
to former slaves to start their own church. It is the current First
Baptist Church of Chesterfield (Pastor T. D. Stubblefield) where both
Lynne's parents were active members for many years. Somehow it all
comes full circle! Thanks to Dee
Dosch's invitation and organizational skills, this was a most memorable
event. |
