SUMMARY:Gina Bilander - Nantucket: How One Small Island Helped Shape the Modern World
DESCRIPTION: “The Little Grey Lady”\, 30 miles out at sea\, has a unique history and landscape that has had an impact on the Quaker and anti-slavery movement\, astronomy\, art and literature; and the preservation of land. Beginning with the first islanders\, the Wampanoag\, to the African-American island community and Quaker abolitionists  working together\, and the site of Frederick Douglass’s first public anti-slavery speech. While many of the men were away for years at sea on the Whaling ships\, a community of strong women ran the island’s shops\, schools\, and cultural groups\, among them astronomer Maria Mitchell and Lucretia Coffin Mott. Later John Steinbeck\, Nathaniel Benchley and others formed a writers and artists colony.\n\n\n\n\n\nToday Nantucket leads in preserving it’s landscape\, ponds and harbor; and the Nantucket Land Council was supportive of the World Fellowship Conservation Easement.\n
