SUMMARY:Joyce M. Botelho\, M.A. - "Nora Mulloy's Newport"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]American writer Thornton Wilder once described Newport as a community made up of nine cities\, each with its separate identity. Like Theophilus North’s fictional Newport of 1926\, each city has its own story to tell and Nora Mulloy’s is one of them. \nBorn in County Roscommon Ireland\, Nora Mulloy immigrated to Newport and like many single Irish women\, found employment as a domestic in a series of prominent households. Eventually she was able to set aside enough money to run her own boarding house. Though she never married\, she raised two orphaned nieces with whom she lived until her death in 1954. Members of the Mulloy family still reside in Newport today. \nNora’s Newport was a working-class town inhabited by people who drew their identity from their family\, their religion\, their heritage\, and their neighborhood. Their labor was vital to Newport’s rise as a fashionable resort\, and their leisure activities were uniquely their own. A maid’s half-day off may have included kitchen rackets\, ceili dancing at the Forty Steps or the ritual bathing of “Ladies Day”. This presentation explores how Irish immigrants\, like Nora Mulloy\, helped create a vibrant working-class culture in Newport during the early part of the twentieth century. \nJOYCE M. BOTELHO is an independent scholar with more than twenty-five years of professional experience in the field of public history. She holds an A.B. in Literature and Languages from Bard College and a master’s degree in History from Brown University and has taught at Brown\, Providence College\, and Salve Regina University. Ms. Botelho is employed by the Rhode Island Foundation as the Philanthropy Officer for the Newport County Fund. This is her first lecture for the Museum of Newport Irish History. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Edward T. O'Donnell\, Ph.D.\, "Compassion & Corruption: The Political Machine and the Irish American Experience"
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]Historian Edward T. O’Donnell’s talk will explore the origins and workings of the “political machine” and why the Irish were uniquely suited to take advantage of it. He will also discuss the Irish political machine as an agent of charity and social welfare in an era when the poor had few places to turn for assistance. But while political machines empowered the Irish in America\, they also brought condemnation due to their corrupt and questionable practices. Finally\, O’Donnell will explain the fate of the Irish political machine in the 20th century noting how\, long after its disappearance\, it left behind a tradition of liberalism and social justice that continues to inform political debate today. \nEDWARD T. O’DONNELL was born in Gloucester\, MA to Irish American parents. He earned his doctorate in American History from Columbia University and currently is Assoc. Professor of History at Holy Cross College in Worcester\, MA. He is the author of several books\, including Ship Ablaze: The Tragedy of the Steamboat General Slocum (Random House\, 2003)\, 1001 Things Everyone Should Know About Irish American History (Random House/Broadway Books\, 2002)\, and the forthcoming Talisman of a Lost Hope: Henry George and Gilded Age America (Columbia University Press). His scholarly articles have appeared in the Public Historian\, Journal of Urban History\, and the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. He has also worked on several major museum exhibits on Irish American history\, including serving as curatorial consultant to the Lower East Side Tenement Museum in NYC for their Irish Family Apartment (opened\, June 2008). This is his first lecture for the Museum of Newport Irish History. \n[/vc_column][/vc_row]
