3/8/21. Notable Women

from Wikipedia
Mary Jane McLeod Bethune (born Mary Jane McLeod; July 10, 1875 – May 18, 1955[1]) was an American educator, stateswoman, philanthropist, humanitarian, womanist,[2] and civil rights activist. Bethune founded the National Council for Negro Women in 1935, established the organization’s flagship journal Aframerican Women’s Journal,[3][4] and resided as president or leader for myriad African American women’s organizations including the National Association for Colored Women and the National Youth Administration’s Negro Division.[5] She also was appointed as a national adviser to president Franklin D. Roosevelt, whom she worked with to create the Federal Council on colored Affairs, also known as the Black Cabinet

There certainly are a lot of different civil war related markers and street names around here.

I have found myself taking a much narrower approach to this game. Basically doing markers only of forts. By doing so I have been led to several places I had never visited before, which of course means figuring out bike routes I had never tried before, which to me is one of the fun things about FS pointless prize games. So far all have been forts in NoVa, the so called Arlington Line, which as Paul Wilson pointed out, are not all in Arlington (I am still trying to learn when the line received that name, as Arlington County did not exist then, and not all the forts were close to the Custis-Lee Mansion called Arlington) For streets, I have only done streets in Alexandria named after CSA officers (since all new NS in west alexandria were so named for about 40 years, there are a lot)

I will probably diversify as I run out of places in the above categories. My next major goal is to explore the circle forts in DC. Hints about the best routes through greater Anacostia to the circle forts from the Wilson bridge will be appreciated.

If you start frome the west side it might be more enjoyable. You could take mt Vernon up to 14th accross and exit pedestrian bridge by the “waterfront” make your way to nats satium snd across Souza bridge to as Anacostia trail then east and over to fort circle park. From there they are nicely connected (particularly if you have a cross or mt bike)

Hi everyone, someone pinged me to see if I could help her to post pictures to this thread via an Android/Chrome phone. Unfortunately, I am an iPhone user, so I’m not sure how to advise her.

On the iPhone, I find it easiest to use the Tapatalk app (I have the paid version). Are Android phone geeks using the app also, or do you have another easier/preferred method?

The free Tapatalk for andriod works but its not aways clear what thread your in.

Hi AlanA, yes! Underground Railroad sites and slavery-related sites can count. You’ll have to explain how they are related to to the Civil War in your Strava comments. I’ve been having trouble finding good Underground Railroad monuments. It seems like most of them are hypothetical future monuments or addresses or places with no marker that might have been on the trail.

I’m so excited that you’re participating!

This one was a few feet from the Civil war in Silver Spring. But takes place beforethe civil war. Contender?
