<mask> (, Pyotr Vtoroy,  Pyotr Alekseyevich,  – ) reigned as Emperor of Russia from 1727 until his untimely death at the age of 14. He was the only son of Tsarevich Alexei Petrovich (son of <mask> by his first wife, Eudoxia Lopukhina) and of Charlotte Christine of Brunswick-Lüneburg. He was the last agnatic member of the House of Romanov. Early life

<mask> was born in Saint Petersburg on 23 (O.S. 12) October 1715. His mother died when he was only ten days old. His father, the tsarevich Alexei, accused of treason by his own father, <mask>, died in prison in 1718.So three-year-old <mask> and his four-year-old sister, Natalya, became orphans. Their grandfather showed no interest in their upbringing or education: the Tsar had disliked their father and even their grandmother, his own first wife, and young <mask> in particular reminded him of his only son Alexei, whom the Tsar suspected of treachery. Therefore, from his childhood, the young orphaned <mask> was kept in the strictest seclusion. His earliest governesses were the wives of a tailor and a vintner from the Dutch settlement, while a sailor named Norman taught him the rudiments of navigation. When he grew older, however, <mask> was placed under the care of a Hungarian noble, Janos (Ivan) Zeikin (Zékány), who seems to have been a conscientious teacher. <mask> Great died in 1725 and was succeeded by his second wife, Catherine I, a woman of low birth. The powerful minister Aleksandr Danilovich Menshikov, who had aided in Catherine's accession, replaced the boy's teachers with the vice-chancellor, Count Ostermann.The program of education that Ostermann compiled included history, geography, mathematics, and foreign languages, but the overall education of the future emperor remained shallow and left much to be desired. <mask> himself did not display much interest in study; his favorite occupations were hunting and feasting. During the reign (1725-1727) of Catherine I, young <mask> was ignored; but by the time she died in 1727, it had become clear to those in power that the only grandson of <mask> the Great could not be kept from his inheritance much longer. The majority of Russians and three-quarters of the nobility (especially the old-established nobility) were on his side, while the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI (<mask>'s uncle - the husband of his mother's elder sister, Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel) persistently urged <mask>'s claims through the imperial ambassador at Saint Petersburg. Through the efforts of Menshikov, the court named <mask> as Catherine's heir apparent, even though Catherine had two daughters of her own. The relevant documentation also specified the betrothal of <mask> to Menshikov's daughter Maria. Reign

After Catherine's death in May 1727 and the proclamation of the 11-year-old <mask> II as emperor, Menshikov took the young autocrat into his own house on Vasilievsky Island and had full control over all of his actions.For a few months in the summer of 1727, "[n]ot even <mask> the Great was so feared or so obeyed", according to the Saxon ambassador. Menshikov became arrogant and domineering. He issued orders to the Emperor himself and then removed a silver plate that <mask> had just given as a gift to his sister Natalya. To which the Emperor replied, "We shall see who is emperor, you or I." Soon, however, Menshikov became sick, and his opponents took advantage of his illness. Under the influence of Ostermann and the Dolgorukovs, <mask> – long sick of Menshikov's wardship – stripped him of his rank (September 1727)  and exiled him to Siberia. The Emperor also announced the dissolution of his engagement with Menshikov's daughter.The senate, the privy council and the guards took the oath of allegiance forthwith. At this time, German mathematician Christian Goldbach was appointed tutor to the young <mask> to take over from Andrey Osterman, whom Menshikov had appointed. <mask> II was quick-witted, but apparently a stubborn and wayward boy, much like his grandfather. Despite these similarities, the emperor had no desire to learn to rule, unlike <mask> the Great. His young age meant that he could not adequately manage public affairs, and he almost never appeared at the Supreme Privy Council. This led to frustration among his subjects and in the imperial administration – officials did not dare to assume responsibility for important decisions. The Russian fleet became neglected, but <mask> II showed no interest in the matter.<mask> tightened serfdom by banning serfs from volunteering for military service and thus escaping their status. With the fall of Menshikov and related court intrigues, the Emperor's main favorites became Prince Aleksey Dolgorukov and his son Ivan, who maintained great influence over the Emperor's decisions. According to contemporaries, Ivan Dolgorukov lived a reckless and profligate lifestyle, leading <mask> to spend much time feasting, playing cards and enjoying the company of women. He soon became addicted to alcohol. The coronation of <mask> II took place in Moscow on 9 January 1728, with the Emperor and a huge entourage. Still, he was disengaged from the affairs of state. Foreign witnesses proclaimed: "All of Russia is in terrible disorder ... money is not paid to anyone.God knows what will happen with finances. Everyone steals, as much as he can." Moving the court and several other institutions from St. Petersburg back to Moscow (1728) was painful for the "Northern Capital", as well as for the nobility forced to move with it, as <mask> Great had put much effort into developing St. Petersburg into a large and lively city. <mask> returned to St. Petersburg from time to time, but continued to lead an aimless life full of entertainment and distraction. He gradually fell under the thorough-going influence of the Dolgorukovs, and became smitten with the 18-year-old beauty Ekaterina Alekseyevna Dolgorukova. The Dolgorukov family schemed to tie themselves to the imperial bloodline, and persuaded <mask> to become engaged to marry Ekaterina. However, it soon became clear that the young monarch had no interest in his fiancee, perhaps influenced by his aunt Elizabeth Petrovna, who did not like Ekaterina.Planning for the wedding went forward regardless, set to take place on . "<mask> II has not reached the age when a person's personality has already shaped," Russian historian Nikolay Kostomarov wrote. "While contemporaries praised his natural intelligence and good heart, they only hoped for that good to happen in the future. However, his behavior did not give chances to hope that he would be a good ruler. He hated learning and thinking about national affairs. He was totally engrossed in amusements, and was kept under someone else's influence." In late December 1729 <mask> II fell dangerously ill. His condition deteriorated sharply after the frosty Epiphany Day (), when he participated in a feast.He was then rushed into the palace, standing at the back of his sleigh. The next day doctors diagnosed smallpox. The Dolgorukovs attempted to get the emperor to sign a testament naming Ekaterina as his heir, but they were not allowed into the dying emperor’s quarters: <mask> II was already unconscious. In his delirium, he ordered horses so that he could visit his sister Natalya (who had died in 1728). A few minutes later, he died. Emperor <mask> died as dawn broke on 30 January 1730 – the day scheduled for his marriage to Ekaterina Dolgorukova. He is buried in the Cathedral of the Archangel located at the Moscow Kremlin and was the only post-Petrine Russian monarch given that honor; along with Ivan VI (who was murdered and buried in the fortress of Shlisselburg), he is the only post-Petrine monarch not buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in Saint Petersburg.With <mask>'s death, the direct male line of the Romanov dynasty ended. He was succeeded on the Russian throne by Anna Ivanovna, daughter of <mask> the Great's half-brother and co-ruler, Ivan V.

<mask>, also known as Bamewawagezhikaquay (January 31, 1800 – May 22, 1842) is the one of earliest Native American literary writers. She was of Ojibwa and Scots-Irish ancestry. Her Ojibwa name can also be written as O-bah-bahm-wawa-ge-zhe-go-qua (Obabaamwewe-giizhigokwe in modern spelling), meaning "Woman of the Sound [that the stars make] Rushing Through the Sky." From babaam- 'place to place' or bimi- 'along', wewe- 'makes a repeated sound', giizhig 'sky', and ikwe 'woman'. She lived most of her life in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Sault Ste.Marie in the upper peninsula of what is now the state of Michigan. Her mother, Ozhaguscodaywayquay, was the daughter of Waubojeeg, a prominent Ojibwa war chief and civil leader from what is now northern Wisconsin, and his wife. Her father <mask> (1762–1828) was a fur trader who emigrated from Belfast, Ireland in 1790. The <mask>s are famous historically in the Sault Ste. Marie area, where the couple were prominent leaders in both the Euro-American and the Ojibwa communities. The young <mask> learned the Ojibwe language and culture from her mother and her family, and she learned about written literature from her father and his large library. Writing
<mask> wrote poetry and traditional Ojibwa stories, and she translated Ojibwa songs into English.She mostly wrote in English, but she wrote several poems in the Ojibwe language, as she lived her daily life in both Ojibwe and English. While she did not publish her work, she lived a literary life with her husband Henry Rowe <mask>. They worked together closely on each of their writings. Her poetry was generally concerned with private life. <mask>’s writings have attracted considerable interest from scholars and students, especially those concerned with Native American literature and history. She has been recognized as "the first Native American literary writer, the first known Indian woman writer, the first known Indian poet, the first known poet to write poems in a Native American language and the first known American Indian to write out traditional Indian stories." Her role in the Native American literary canon has been compared to that of Anne Bradstreet in the "broader American literary canon."Marriage and family
In 1823 <mask> married Henry Rowe <mask>, a US Indian agent in the region, who became a founding figure of American cultural anthropology. He was appointed U.S. Indian Agent to the Michigan Territory in 1822 and served in the Northwest until 1841. In 1826 and 1827, <mask> produced a handwritten magazine called The Literary Voyager which included some of <mask>’s writings. Although he had only single issues, each was distributed widely to residents in Sault Ste. Marie, then to his friends in Detroit, New York and other eastern cities. The <mask>s' letters to each other during periods of separation often included poetry, also expressing how literature was part of their daily lives. <mask> won fame for his later publications about Native Americans, especially the Ojibwe people and their language (also known as Chippewa and Anishinaabemowin).His work was based on information and stories he learned from <mask> and the <mask> family, and the access they arranged to other Ojibwe. In 1846, he was commissioned by the United States Congress for what became a six-volume study known as Indian Tribes of the United States. <mask>’s publications, including materials written by <mask>, were the main source for Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s The Song of Hiawatha (1855). They had four children:
William Henry <mask> (June 1824 - March 1827) died of croup at nearly three. <mask> wrote poems expressing her grief about his loss. stillborn daughter (November 1825);
<mask> <mask> (14 October 1827 - 25 November 1892, Richmond, Virginia), called <mask>; and
<mask> <mask> (2 October 1829 – 24 April 1864), served in the Civil War but was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg and disabled. He died at age 34 in Elmira, New York.<mask> and <mask> moved to Mackinac Island in 1833, after he had been given responsibility for a larger territory as Indian agent. Their home has since been demolished, but <mask>'s office, also known as the Indian Dormitory, survives. It was used to house Indians who came to the island to acquire promised annuities and supplies. The <mask>s took <mask>e and John to a boarding schools on the East coast when they were eleven and nine, respectively, which was hard for John. <mask> wrote a poem in Ojibwe that expressed her feelings of loss after their separation. (Use link below to hear poem sung in Ojibwe.) In 1841, when Henry lost his patronage position as federal Indian agent due to a change in political administrations, the Schoolcrafts moved to New York City.He worked for the state in American Indian research. <mask> suffered from frequent illnesses; she died in 1842 while visiting a married sister in Canada. She was buried at St. John's Anglican Church in what is now Ancaster, Ontario. Legacy and honors
 1962: Philip P. Mason published an edition of several issues of The Literary Voyager, with annotation and introduction. He acknowledged <mask>'s debt to the <mask> family for helping with his research and collecting materials. Based on her own works in The Literary Voyager, <mask>'s writings gradually began to attract interest in the 1990s, as the work of minorities was more widely studied. 2005: "Sweet Willy, My Boy"; lyrics of the song were taken from a poem by <mask> <mask> mourning the death of her first son.From Dave Stanaway and Susan Askwith, CD: <mask>: His Life and Times in the Fur Trade Era. 2007: Robert Dale Parker published The Sound the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky: The Writings of <mask> <mask>, a complete edition of her extensive writings, based mostly on previously unpublished manuscripts, and including a cultural history and biography. <mask>’s writings are now beginning to attract considerable interest from scholars and students of multicultural and American Indian literature and history. 2008: <mask> <mask> was inducted into the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame.

<mask> (died September 15, 1948) was executed by the United States Federal Government in Florida for a murder committed on the high seas (a federal offense). <mask> was one of very few people to be executed by the United States federal government in the 20th century. Background and murder
Newspaper accounts described <mask> as "a negro navy cook" who was "short, stocky, and powerfully built," with an "above average" education. He was a native of Norfolk, Virginia. His victim, Benjamin Leroy Hobbs, was from Nebo, North Carolina and lived with his poor widowed mother. Hobbs was five days away from being honorably discharged, after which he planned to move in with his mother to help her with the family farm. In the early morning hours of July 25, 1946, in Key West, Florida, <mask> murdered Hobbs, a 19-year-old seaman.The two were aboard the USS Stribling, a naval ship, at the time of the murder; Hobbs' body was found in the ship's gun turret the next day. Two days after the murder, authorities placed <mask> in naval custody as he was the prime suspect in the murder. For two weeks, authorities carried out a "highly secret" manhunt to confirm the identity of the killer, monitoring <mask>'s shipmates as well to detect their movements and eliminate other suspects. Finally, after two weeks of searching and twelve days of keeping <mask> in custody, the FBI and the office of naval intelligence extracted an oral confession from <mask>. <mask> confessed to committing the murder alone. His motive was sexual assault - he had attempted to sexually attack Hobbs in his bunk, but when Hobbs fought back, <mask> decided to kill him to avoid detection and consequences for the sexual attack. After the attempted sexual assault, <mask> bludgeoned and strangled Hobbs to death.When <mask> was first arrested, he was held in a naval shipyard in Miami. Later, after authorities transported <mask> to the county jail in Miami to await his trial for murder, they discovered an iron bar and two hidden razors on his person. Trials
<mask> had two trials. During the first, which took place in October 1946, <mask>'s mother Inez, a schoolteacher born in Pennsylvania, was reported to have attended many of the proceedings. On October 4, 1946, <mask> was convicted of first-degree murder, and the jury refused to recommend mercy, resulting in <mask> receiving a death sentence. However, this first sentence was reversed on appeal sometime in 1947, and <mask> earned a second trial. During <mask>'s second trial, his defense attempted to paint <mask> as someone afflicted with a "psychopathic personality."Attorney A.C. Dressler stated during the defense's closing statements, "[<mask>] has a warped mind; he is a lost soul. If you comply with the oath you took, you cannot kill. You cannot send this boy to the chair." <mask>'s other defense attorney, John G. Sawyer, argued that <mask> should be put away in prison for life "for the good of society. His life should not be taken." On the contrary, the United States District Attorney working for the prosecution, Herbert S. Phillips, argued that <mask> was a "cunning murderer." The prosecution, basing their arguments on <mask>'s confession, purported that <mask>'s motive for murdering Hobbs was to avoid detection and a court martial after <mask> had attempted to commit a "pervert act" on Hobbs.Contrasting the defense's argument that <mask>'s psychopathy made him less responsible for his actions, Phillips read <mask>'s confession to the jury and stated that the confession showed that <mask> was fully aware of his actions. The judge, John W. Holland, instructed the jury that if they agreed with the defense that <mask> was not criminally responsible for his actions because of his purported psychopathy impairing his judgment, then the jury could not find him guilty of a crime higher than second-degree murder. As first-degree murder was the only murder charge punishable by death by the federal government at the time, the jury finding <mask> guilty of second-degree murder or less would have saved his life. However, the second trial concluded on August 7, 1947, and <mask> was again convicted of first-degree murder; the jury again refused to recommend mercy, and <mask> was again sentenced to death. Judge Holland formally passed the second sentence two weeks after the jury reached their verdict. Appeals and execution
<mask> appealed his second death sentence to the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Florida. The first death sentence had been reversed due to an error involving the judge not instructing the jury on the possibility of <mask> being found guilty of a lesser charge due to mental impairment.However, on April 1, 1948, the second death sentence was affirmed, with the District Court finding that <mask>'s murder was "shocking" and committed with "vile motive," and that "the trial court went to great lengths to see to it that the defendant had a fair and lawful trial." The second appeal affirming his death sentence also pointed out that two separate juries had found <mask> guilty of the same crime on the same "overwhelming evidence" and that the second trial was "free from reversible error," thereby paving the way for <mask> to be executed. In one final attempt to save his life, <mask> appealed to President Harry S. Truman for clemency, but Truman refused to intervene in the sentence, making his intentions known a week prior to the scheduled execution date. According to the Associated Press, <mask> spent his final hours praying with a minister and singing hymns. He also received a final visit from his mother. On the morning of Wednesday, September 15, 1948, <mask> was executed in the electric chair at the Union Correctional Institution in Raiford, Florida, where Florida kept their electric chair until 1961. He was placed in the chair at 9:11 A.M. and pronounced dead a few minutes later.<mask> was 23 years old at the time of his execution. <mask> was the third federal inmate executed under President Truman and one of only two inmates executed on a federal execution warrant in Florida during the 20th century. Unlike the first, James Alderman, <mask> was put to death in Florida's electric chair in the Union Correctional Institution. Contrarily, Alderman was hanged at the U.S. Coast Guard Station near Fort Lauderdale, Florida. At the time of Alderman's execution, it was customary for all federal inmates to be executed by hanging regardless of the method used by the state where they committed their capital crime. However, the law changed in 1936 following the botched hanging of Earl Gardner, a federal inmate in Arizona, where state law provided for executions by gas chamber. From 1936 onward, federal inmates were executed by the method used by the state where they committed their capital crime.During both Alderman's execution in 1929 and <mask>'s execution in 1948, the electric chair was Florida's method of execution, as the state had adopted the electric chair in 1923 and, save for Alderman's federal execution, exclusively used the electric chair instead of hanging starting in October 1924. Presently, all federal executions take place in Terre Haute, Indiana; all federal executions are carried out by lethal injection, regardless of the methods permitted for use in the state where an executed federal death row inmate committed their capital crime.

<mask> (June 7, 1917 – December 3, 2000) was an American poet, author, and teacher. Her work often dealt with the personal celebrations and struggles of ordinary people in her community. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry on May 1, 1950, for Annie Allen, making her the first African American to receive a Pulitzer Prize. Throughout her prolific writing career, <mask> received many more honors. A lifelong resident of Chicago, she was appointed Poet Laureate of Illinois in 1968, a position she held until her death 32 years later. She was also named the U.S. Poet Laureate for the 1985–86 term.In 1976, she became the first African-American woman inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Early life
<mask> <mask> was born on  June 7, 1917, in Topeka, Kansas and raised on the South Side of Chicago. She was the first child of David Anderson <mask> and Keziah (Wims<mask>. Her father, a janitor for a music company, had hoped to pursue a career as a doctor but sacrificed that aspiration to get married and raise a family. Her mother was a school teacher as well as a concert pianist trained in classical music. <mask>' mother had taught at the Topeka school that later became involved in the famous Brown v. Board of Education racial desegregation case. Family lore held that <mask>' paternal grandfather had escaped slavery to join the Union forces during the American Civil War.When <mask> was six weeks old, her family moved to Chicago during the Great Migration, and from then on, Chicago remained her home. She would closely identify with Chicago for the rest of her life. In a 1994 interview, she remarked:

Living in the city, I wrote differently than I would have if I had been raised in Topeka, KS ... I am an organic Chicagoan. Living there has given me a multiplicity of characters to aspire for. I hope to live there the rest of my days. That's my headquarters.She started her formal education at Forestville Elementary School on Chicago's South Side. <mask> then attended a prestigious integrated high school in the city with a predominantly white student body, Hyde Park High School; transferred to the all-black Wendell Phillips High School; and finished her schooling at integrated Englewood High School. According to biographer Kenny Jackson Williams, due to the social dynamics of the various schools, in conjunction with the era in which she attended them, <mask> faced much racial injustice. Over time, this experience helped her understand the prejudice and bias in established systems and dominant institutions, not only in her own surroundings but in every relevant American mindset. <mask> began writing at an early age and her mother encouraged her, saying, "You are going to be the lady Paul Laurence Dunbar." During her teenage years, she began filling books with ''careful rhymes'' and ''lofty meditations," as well as submitting poems to various publications. Her first poem was published in American Childhood when she was 13.By the time she had graduated from high school in 1935, she was already a regular contributor to The Chicago Defender. After her early educational experiences, <mask> did not pursue a four-year college degree because she knew she wanted to be a writer and considered it unnecessary. "I am not a scholar," she later said. "I'm just a writer who loves to write and will always write." She graduated in 1936 from a two-year program at Wilson Junior College, now known as Kennedy-King College, and worked as a typist to support herself while she pursued her career. Career

Writing
<mask> published her first poem, "Eventide", in a children's magazine, American Childhood, when she was 13 years old. By the age of 16, she had already written and published approximately 75 poems.At 17, she started submitting her work to "Lights and Shadows," the poetry column of the Chicago Defender, an African-American newspaper. Her poems, many published while she attended Wilson Junior College, ranged in style from traditional ballads and sonnets to poems using blues rhythms in free verse. In her early years, she received commendations on her poetic work and encouragement from James Weldon Johnson, Richard Wright and Langston Hughes. James Weldon Johnson sent her the first critique of her poems when she was only sixteen years old. Her characters were often drawn from the inner city life that <mask> knew well. She said, "I lived in a small second-floor apartment at the corner, and I could look first on one side and then the other. There was my material."By 1941, <mask> was taking part in poetry workshops. A particularly influential one was organized by Inez Cunningham Stark, an affluent white woman with a strong literary background. Stark offered writing workshops at the new South Side Community Art Center, which <mask> attended. It was here she gained momentum in finding her voice and a deeper knowledge of the techniques of her predecessors. Renowned poet Langston Hughes stopped by the workshop and heard her read "The Ballad of Pearl May Lee". In 1944, she achieved a goal she had been pursuing through continued unsolicited submissions since she was 14 years old: two of her poems were published in Poetry magazine's November issue. In the autobiographical information she provided to the magazine, she described her occupation as a "housewife".<mask>' published her first book of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville (1945), with Harper & Brothers, after a strong show of support to the publisher from author Richard Wright. He said to the editors who solicited his opinion on <mask>' work:

There is no self-pity here, not a striving for effects. She takes hold of reality as it is and renders it faithfully. ...   She easily catches the pathos of petty destinies; the whimper of the wounded; the tiny accidents that plague the lives of the desperately poor, and the problem of color prejudice among Negroes. The book earned instant critical acclaim for its authentic and textured portraits of life in Bronzeville. <mask> later said it was a glowing review by Paul Engle in the Chicago Tribune that "initiated My Reputation". Engle stated that <mask>' poems were no more "Negro poetry" than Robert Frost's work was "white poetry".<mask> received her first Guggenheim Fellowship in 1946 and was included as one of the "Ten Young Women of the Year" in Mademoiselle magazine. <mask>' second book of poetry, Annie Allen (1949), focused on the life and experiences of a young Black girl growing into womanhood in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. The book was awarded the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, and was also awarded Poetry magazine's Eunice Tietjens Prize. In 1953, <mask> published her first and only narrative book, a novella titled Maud Martha, which in a series of 34 vignettes follows the life of a black woman named Maud Martha Brown as she moves about life from childhood to adulthood. It tells the story of "a woman with doubts about herself and where and how she fits into the world. Maud's concern is not so much that she is inferior but that she is perceived as being ugly," states author Harry B. Shaw in his book Gwendolyn <mask>. Maud suffers prejudice and discrimination not only from white individuals but also from black individuals who have lighter skin tones than hers, something that is a direct reference to <mask>' personal experience.Eventually, Maud stands up for herself by turning her back on a patronizing and racist store clerk. "The book is ... about the triumph of the lowly," Shaw comments. In contrast, literary scholar Mary Helen Washington emphasizes <mask>'s critique of racism and sexism, calling Maud Martha "a novel about bitterness, rage, self-hatred, and the silence that results from suppressed anger". In 1967, the year of Langston Hughes's death, <mask> attended the Second Black Writers' Conference at Nashville's Fisk University. Here, according to one version of events, she met activists and artists such as Imamu Amiri Baraka, Don L. Lee and others who exposed her to new black cultural nationalism. Recent studies argue that she had been involved in leftist politics in Chicago for many years and, under the pressures of McCarthyism, adopted a black nationalist posture as a means of distancing herself from her prior political connections. <mask>'s experience at the conference inspired many of her subsequent literary activities.She taught creative writing to some of Chicago's Blackstone Rangers, otherwise a violent criminal gang. In 1968, she published one of her most famous works, In the Mecca, a long poem about a mother's search for her lost child in a Chicago apartment building. The poem was nominated for the National Book Award for poetry. Her autobiographical Report From Part One, including reminiscences, interviews, photographs and vignettes, came out in 1972, and Report From Part Two was published in 1995, when she was almost 80. Teaching
<mask> said her first teaching experience was at the University of Chicago when she was invited by author Frank London Brown to teach a course in American literature. It was the beginning of her lifelong commitment to sharing poetry and teaching writing. <mask> taught extensively around the country and held posts at Columbia College Chicago, Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago State University, Elmhurst College, Columbia University, and the City College of New York.Archives
The Rare Book & Manuscript Library of the University of Illinois acquired <mask>'s archives from her daughter Nora Blakely. In addition, the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley has a collection of her personal papers, especially from 1950 to 1989. Family life
In 1939, <mask> married Henry Lowington Blakely, Jr., whom she met after joining Chicago's NAACP Youth Council. They had two children: Henry Lowington Blakely III, and <mask> Blakely. <mask>' husband died in 1996. From mid-1961 to late 1964, Henry III served in the U.S. Marine Corps, first at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and then at Marine Corps Air Station Kaneohe Bay. During this time, <mask> mentored her son's fiancée, Kathleen Hardiman, in writing poetry.Upon his return, Blakely and Hardiman married in 1965. <mask> had so enjoyed the mentoring relationship that she began to engage more frequently in that role with the new generation of young black poets. <mask> <mask> died at her Chicago home on December 3, 2000, aged 83.

Early life
<mask> was born in Rothbury, Northumberland, on 2 March 1970, the youngest of three children, to physician <mask> and Emma Virginia Peronnet (née Thompson-McCausland).The <mask>s are a North East landowning family distantly related to <mask>, 1st Baron <mask>. <mask>'s maternal grandparents were economist Lucius Thompson-McCausland and Helen Laura McCausland (6 April 1903 – February 2000), granddaughter of Captain Conolly Thomas McCausland (13 May 1828 – 25 June 1902) and Hon.

<mask> (pronounced ; born 1953) is an artist and architect based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. <mask>'s interdisciplinary practice includes on-site projects, research, architectural case studies, and series of drawings. Her work documents and interprets contemporary architectural practices (in particular, with regard to energy infrastructure and water use) and the ways people live together. Background and early career
<mask> was born in Ljubljana, the capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, which  was then part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Her parents were both writers. <mask>'s father, <mask>, was a well-known Slovene social realist novelist and playwright from the Styria region, and the main editor at the publishing house Mladinska Knjiga. Her mother, Branka Jurca, was a teacher and magazine editor and also a well-known author of children's literature, who was born in the Karst region of western Slovenia but moved to Maribor, where she met <mask>'s father.<mask> <mask> received degrees in architecture (1978) and sculpture (1986, 1988) from the University of Ljubljana. In 1990, she moved to the United States. Her installations from this period often involved walls of various kinds; for example, Two Faces of Utopia (1993, made for the Slovene Pavilion at the Venice Biennial), and the series Theatrum Mundi: Territories (1993–1996). A statement she made at the time—"I don't make objects. I build walls"—positions her work against object-based sculpture. In 1994, she moved back to Ljubljana. Since then, <mask>'s work has developed at the intersection of visual art, architecture, and social science.Participatory design and sustainable solutions

In 2003, Potrč was invited to spend six months in Caracas, Venezuela, as part of the Caracas Case Project, and carry out research on the informal city. There, in collaboration with the Israeli architect Liyat Esakov and the residents of the La Vega barrio, she developed the project Dry Toilet: an ecologically safe, waterless toilet was installed in the upper part of the La Vega barrio, a district in Caracas that has no access to the municipal water grid. Dry Toilet is one of a series of community-focused on-site projects by Potrč that are characterized by participatory design and a concern with sustainability issues, particularly in relation to energy and water infrastructures. Other important projects are Balcony with Wind Turbine (Liverpool, 2004), Power from Nature (Barefoot College, Rajasthan, India, and the Catherine Ferguson Academy, Detroit, Mich., USA, 2005), and A Farm in Murcia: Rainwater Harvesting (Murcia, Spain, 2007). In Potrč's view, the sustainable solutions that are implemented and disseminated by communities serve to empower these communities and help create a democracy built from below. Since 2011, <mask> <mask> has been a professor at the University of Fine Arts/HFBK in Hamburg, Germany, where she teaches the course Design for the Living World. She and her students have carried out participatory design projects in various parts of Europe (Germany, Austria, Norway, Sweden, and Serbia), as well as in the United States and South Africa.The Soweto Project (2014) is of particular note. She and her class spent two months in the Soweto district in Johannesburg, where, among other things, they worked with the residents of the Orlando East neighborhood to turn a degraded public space, which was being used as a dumping ground, into a community park. Since 2010, Potrč has also made a number of projects with the architectural and design practice Ooze (Eva Pfannes and Sylvain Hartenberg), based in Rotterdam. These projects, which focus largely on water purification, include Between the Waters: The Emscher Community Garden in Essen, Germany (2010), where they constructed a complete sustainable water supply system on an island in the Emscher River, and Of Soil and Water: King's Cross Pond Club, in London (2015), where they created a natural swimming pond with its own micro-ecological environment on a construction site. Potrč's large gallery installations, which she calls "architectural case studies," are a unique practice and have long been a central part of her work; they aim to translate into the gallery space her view of contemporary architectural practices and their relationship to issues of energy, water use, and communication. For example, soon after the Dry Toilet project, she created Hybrid House: Caracas, West Bank, West Palm Beach at the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art in Lake Worth, Florida, in 2003 (the following year, the installation traveled to the List Visual Arts Center of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts). The installation represents a case study of three contemporary communities in conflict—the Caracas barrio, the West Bank, and West Palm Beach, Florida—and illustrates how they negotiate issues of space, security, energy, water, and communications, bringing to the fore the uneasy coexistence of different communities in 21st-century societies.In one of her most controversial and most often quoted statements, Potrč has observed: "There are two urban forms in the global city that I consider to be most successful—after all, they are growing the fastest—namely, gated communities and shantytowns." Beginning with her six-month-long research in Caracas in 2003, Potrč's practice has been distinguished by extended research projects in regions that are reinventing themselves after the decline of 20th-century modernism. Most significant have been her projects in the Amazonian state of Acre in western Brazil in 2006 (in conjunction with the São Paulo Art Biennial); the Lost Highway Expedition in nine cities in the Western Balkans (Ljubljana, Zagreb, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Skopje, Pristina, Tirana, Podgorica, and Sarajevo), which she co-organized in collaboration with School of Missing Studies and a group of artists and architects; and her research project on water issues in post-Katrina New Orleans, in which she collaborated with the design consultancy FutureProof in 2007-2008. Collaboration with local individuals, groups, and organizations is a significant aspect of nearly all her research projects. These research projects provide the basis for later drawing series and architectural case studies, which translate her findings to wider audiences. Potrč constructs her drawings as narratives that present and interpret with simple images and text the challenges and strategies of the communities she has studied. Her drawing series include, among others, The Struggle for  Justice (2005), Florestania (2006), and The Great Republic of New Orleans (2007).Exhibitions and awards
Potrč's work has been exhibited extensively throughout Europe and the Americas, including in such important international shows as the São Paulo Biennial (1996 and 2006), and the Venice Biennial (in the exhibitions The Structure of Survival, 2003, and "Making Worlds", 2009). She also participated in the 5th Gwangju Biennale in Gwangju, South Korea (2004). She has shown her work regularly at the Nordenhake Gallery in Berlin and Stockholm since 2003, and, formerly, at the Max Protetch Gallery (2002–2009) and the Meulensteen Gallery (2009–2012) in New York. She has also had solo exhibitions at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (2001), the List Visual Arts Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2004), the Portikus in Frankfurt am Main (2006), and the Curve at the Barbican Art Gallery in London (2007), among others. Other important exhibitions of her work include Caracas: Growing Houses, which she presented as part of the exhibition Architektonika 2 at the Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum for Contemporary Art in Berlin (2012) and The School of the Forest: Miami Campus at the Pérez Art Museum in Miami, FL (2015); in both exhibitions, she revisits and recontextualizes issues she explored in earlier research projects in Caracas and the Amazonian state of Acre, in Brazil. In 2018, <mask> <mask> was one of the artists presented in the group exhibition Eco-Visionaries at Bildmuseet, Umeå University, Sweden. Potrč has received numerous grants and awards, including two grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation (1993 and 1999); the Hugo Boss Prize in 2000, administered by the Guggenheim Museum (2000); and the Vera List Center for Arts and Politics Fellowship at The New School in New York (2007).Selected bibliography

Judge <mask><mask> (September 17, 1843 – February 27, 1936) was a carpenter, a Wyoming politician and the first U.S. Commissioner in Yellowstone National Park, a position he held for 41 years (1894–1935). Early life
<mask> was born in Caledonia, New York in 1843. He trained as a wagonmaker at an early age. He served with the 14th New York Heavy Artillery until September 1864 during the Civil War. Shortly after the end of the war, he was in Arkansas working as a wagonmaker. In the spring of 1867 he moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory and then to Fort Collins, Colorado where he worked on a ranch for two years. In 1870, <mask> moved to Laramie, Wyoming to open a meat market.For the next few years he work for various interests, including as a wagon maker for the Union Pacific Railroad. It was during this time that <mask> received his first political appointment as clerk of the district court. He also served two terms as a county commissioner, a term as chairman of the county commission and a term on the territorial council. Wyoming politics
In 1882, <mask><mask> was nominated by Wyoming Republicans to be their delegate to Congress although he was defeated. In 1884 he became a delegate from Wyoming at the national Republican convention. After convention, he was appointed Surveyor General of Wyoming Territory by President Chester A. Arthur, a position he held until November 1885. In May, 1889 President Benjamin Harrison appointed <mask> as the Secretary of State for the Territory of Wyoming.He held that position until January 1891. Wyoming was granted statehood in July 1890. Elections for the new state government were held in September 1890. During those elections, Amos W. Barber was elected Secretary of State and Francis E<mask> the first Governor of Wyoming. <mask> had already served two terms as Governor of the Territory of Wyoming. <mask> would not serve long as Wyoming's first governor as the newly elected legislature would elect him as Wyoming's first Senator. That move elevated Amos Barber to the position of governor while still retaining the Secretary of State position.Because Barber could not run both the Governor's and Secretary's offices, he appointed <mask> as the Chief Clerk to the Secretary of State with full authority to run the Secretary's office. Although a court clerk for many years, <mask> was not formally trained in the law, but did read the law under the tutelage of the many judges he served. This informal training helped him receive the appointment as U.S. Commissioner to Yellowstone. U.S. Commissioner in Yellowstone

In March 1894, Edgar Howell, a poacher from Cooke City, Montana was captured by Captain G. L. Scott, U.S. Army, and a patrol of soldiers for killing Bison in the Pelican Valley section of the park. Unfortunately, there were no laws that would allow prosecution of Howell and he could only be temporarily detained and removed from the park. Shortly after his capture, Frank Jay Haynes park photographer, Emerson Hough noted western author, and Billy Hofer, a noted backcountry guide, encountered Scott and Howell as Howell was being escorted back to Fort Yellowstone. Haines captured the encounter on film and Hough telegraphed a story back to his publisher: Forest and Stream.The story prompted George Bird Grinnell, editor of Forest and Stream to lobby congress for a law to allow prosecution of crimes in Yellowstone. The result was the Lacey Act of 1894. Edgar Howell would later play a pivotable role in one of Judge <mask>'s most famous cases. The passage of the Lacey Act of 1894 or An Act To protect the birds and animals in Yellowstone National Park, and to punish crimes in said park, and for other such purposes gave Yellowstone the status of a United States Judicial District of Wyoming thus creating the need for a U.S. Commissioner. The Act contained this provision:

The appointment
As a long standing member of the Republican party in Wyoming, <mask> had become closely acquainted with many prominent Wyoming politicians. One of those was Wyoming Territorial Governor <mask> Hoyt (1878–1882). Hoyt visited Yellowstone on an official, month-long inspection tour in 1881.When Hoyt returned, <mask> learned from Hoyt's first-hand accounts of the wonders of the park. It sparked a desire on his part to visit the park someday. Shortly after the passage of the act, <mask> learned that Judge <mask> Riner of the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming would be the one to appoint the Commissioner. <mask> approached Riner, whom he had worked with for many years, and asked for the appointment. Riner appointed <mask><mask> as the first U.S. Commissioner for Yellowstone National Park, effective June 20, 1884. The Commissioner's office and residence

<mask><mask> did not travel to Yellowstone until July 1894 making his way via train, coach, wagon and horseback from Laramie via Salt Lake City, Henry's Lake and the Madison River. His first night in the park was spent at the Fountain Hotel near the Fountain Paint Pots area of the Lower Geyser Basin.There he met Captain George S. Anderson, U.S. Army, the current park superintendent. <mask> traveled to Mammoth Hot Springs the next day and took up residence and an office in the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel. One of <mask>'s first duties was to supervise the construction of the Commissioner's building, funded by the Lacey Act and designed by a local soldier. The Fort Yellowstone Historic District application describes the building, which still stands today:

Famous cases

 The 1897 Canyon holdup
On August 14, 1897 two armed men held up a caravan of four stages and an Army ambulance en route from Canyon to Mammoth. A total of $630 was stolen from park visitors. The resulting case: United States vs. Gus Smitzer, alias Little Gus; and George Reeb, alias Morphine Charley was the result of two weeks of interesting detective work by the U.S. Army, army scouts and Edgar Howell, the infamous poacher. Witness accounts were insufficient to identify and arrest the robbers so the Army was engaged find whatever evidence could be found near the crime.They located a variety of circumstantial evidence in a recently abandoned campsite just north of Grebe Lake that tied the robbers to the scene. Edgar Howell was engaged to identify and find the robbers upon the advice of Frank Jay Haynes who believed Howell was a good man and knew all the bad guys in Yellowstone. On August 30, 1897, Smitzer and Reeb were arrested and shortly thereafter <mask> heard the evidence and bound them over for trial in the Federal court in Cheyenne, Wyoming. In May 1898 they were convicted and sentenced to three years in prison. In recognition of Edgar Howell's contribution to the case, <mask> awarded him $150 of the $750 reward put up by the Army and park transportation company

 The Case of William Binkley

Interesting relations

While serving in Yellowstone, <mask>'s niece, Miss Louise Chase from New York visited him in the park in the early 1900s. There she met Robert Reamer the Old Faithful Inn architect whom she later married in 1911. Death
<mask> was in poor health when he resigned his post at Yellowstone in 1935.In October 1935 he left the park to visit relatives in Wyoming and Denver, CO. He arrived in Denver in January 1936 to spend time with his niece, Miss Susie A. <mask>. On February 24, 1936 he learned of the death of Yellowstone superintendent and personal friend, Roger W. Toll, in a New Mexico traffic accident. He did not take the news well, became very depressed and died the morning of February 27, 1936. <mask><mask> was cremated at Rogers Mortuary, Denver, Colorado on February 29, 1936.
