Creator of Whaling Harpoon - Lewis Temple

 Lewis Temple

Date: 

Wed, 1800-10-22

This date marks the birth of Lewis Temple, a Black inventor, in 1800.

He was the creator of a whaling harpoon, known as "Temple's Toggle" and "Temple's Iron" that became the standard harpoon of the whaling industry in the middle of the 19th century. Lewis Temple was a skilled blacksmith, not a whaler.

He was born a slave in Richmond, VA, and went to New Bedford, MA, in 1829. By 1836, Temple was one of the 315,000 free black people in the United States and a successful businessman who operated a whale craft shop on the New Bedford waterfront.

Based on conversations with the whalers who came to his shop to have their whaling tools made and to buy harpoons, Temple learned that many whales escaped, since the harpoons used at the time were not particularly effective in holding a struggling whale. In 1848, Lewis Temple invented a new type of harpoon, with a movable head that prevented the whale from slipping loose. The Temple Iron was more effective than any other and when the head on Temple's harpoon became locked in the whale's flesh, and the only way to free the harpoon was to cut it loose after the whale was killed. Initially, whalers did not accept Temple's harpoon.

However, after some trials, most whaling captains were convinced that Temple's "Toggle Iron" was far superior to the ordinary barbed head harpoon. Lewis Temple never patented his invention, but was able to make a good living from his harpoon sales. Temple was able to buy the building next to his shop and, in 1854, arranged for construction of a blacksmith shop near Steamboat Wharf. Temple accidentally fell one night while walking near his new shop construction site. He never fully recovered from his injuries.

Temple was unable to return to work and died destitute in May 1854. Clifford Ashley, author of the book, "The Yankee Whaler," said that Temple's harpoon was "the single most important invention in the whole history of whaling."

William Washington Browne October 20, 1849

William Washington Browne

Date: 

Sat, 1849-10-20

*William Washington Browne was born on this date in1849. He was a Black teacher, minister and businessman.

He was from Habersham County, Georgia, the son of Joseph Browne and Mariah Browne. His parents were Virginia slaves who met after being sold and transported to Georgia. Browne's original given name was Ben. When he was about eight years old he was moved to a plantation near Memphis, Tennessee, and then sold to a horse trader. After his sale Browne adopted the given names William Washington. He escaped from slavery in 1862 after the United States Army occupied Memphis and served first on a Union gunboat and then in the infantry. After being discharged in 1866 Browne attended school in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, before returning to the South in 1869 to teach. He met Mary A. Graham while teaching in Alabama, and they were married on August 16, 1873. Browne's education won him immediate respect in the Black community. He further enhanced his standing throughout Georgia and Alabama by speaking out against the Ku Klux Klan and as a leading temperance advocate.

Browne sought the endorsement in Alabama of the Independent Order of Good Templars, a white temperance society. The Good Templars refused to be formally associated with Blacks but offered Browne a compromise according to which he would receive a charter and sponsorship under the separate name of the Grand United Order of True Reformers. Browne accepted, quit his teaching position, and began his rise to national prominence. A superb speaker and organizer, Browne soon founded fifty local chapters, which was the number of chapters Good Templar guidelines required for the establishment of a state organization, called a grand fountain. Browne enhanced his authority and expanded his audience through the church. The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church Conference of Alabama licensed him to preach and ordained him in August 1876. That same year, the Grand Lodge of Good Templars of Virginia invited Browne to lead its new branch of the True Reformers in Richmond. After an auspicious start, interest in the Reformers quickly dwindled. Browne returned to Alabama, where he developed plans to transform his temperance society into an insurance organization with a bank, but he could not obtain the state charter necessary for the enterprise. In 1880 he moved to Richmond to take control of the weak Grand Fountain of Virginia and there continued to work on his plan to create a business empire out of the True Reformers. Shortly after his arrival in Richmond he also served for a time as pastor of the Leigh Street Methodist Episcopal Church.

Browne's first insurance effort, the Mutual Benefit and Relief Plan of the United Order of True Reformers, was a poorly planned savings and death benefit system that depended on continual recruitment of new members to pay its beneficiaries, which made it little more than a Ponzi scheme. In January 1884, the General Assembly passed a bill incorporating the Supreme Fountain Grand United Order of True Reformers, and in 1885 after further study the True Reformers instituted the first insurance plan of an African American fraternal society that was based on actuarial calculations of life expectancies. Members and prospective members paid varying fees for their insurance according to their ages. The insurance system proved quite profitable and soon supported other Reformer enterprises. Browne established the Rosebud department to instill principles of thrift in members' children. He also began to expand the order's business operations by purchasing real estate in Richmond and elsewhere as the order spread across Virginia and the eastern United States. Browne's most daring move came on March 2, 1888, when the order received a state charter for the nation's first Black-owned, Black-operated bank. The True Reformers' bank prospered for years and was the only bank in Richmond able to continue honoring checks during the financial panic of 1893.

In 1891, the Reformers dedicated a new hall that housed the various operations of the order. The building contained the bank, several business offices, three stores, four large meeting rooms, and a concert hall. The largest building in the city owned by blacks, it was also constructed entirely by African Americans. By that time the order's membership approached 10,000, and it soon acquired a hotel, published a weekly newspaper, ran a general merchandise store, and operated a home for aged members. From its humble beginnings as temperance society Browne built the order into the largest black fraternal society and black-owned business in the country. The impressive new True Reformers' Hall in Richmond symbolized the order's premier position. Success aside, Browne engendered controversy in Richmond's African American community. His conservatism and enormous ego irritated many of his contemporaries, most notably John Mitchell Jr., the editor of the Richmond Planet. Two incidents in 1895 particularly raised eyebrows. After Mitchell and a Black Massachusetts legislator presented themselves in March at the governor's mansion for a reception tendered to the visiting Massachusetts Committee on Mercantile Affairs, Browne wrote to a local newspaper criticizing their behavior and explaining his own less confrontational view of race relations: "Legal equality and cordial relation—to the extent of building up the negro race—are the desires of respectable and sensible negroes; and they are as much opposed to social equality between whites and blacks as are the whites themselves."

The following September Browne arranged to sell his copyrighted plans for the True Reformers to the order for $50,000. Many in Richmond, and Mitchell in particular, regarded the transaction as an overwhelming proof of Browne's greed. Browne was one of only eight men, including Booker T. Washington, selected to represent African Americans at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta in 1895. The True Reformers' exhibition there enhanced Browne's stature and that of his order in what proved to be his last major achievement.

In 1897 physicians discovered a cancerous tumor and urged him to have the affected arm amputated, but he refused. The cancer spread quickly, and Browne died in Washington, D.C., on December 21, 1897. He was buried in Sycamore Cemetery, and his funeral was one of the largest ever seen in Richmond's Black community. Browne bequeathed his estate to his widow, except for small legacies to the boy and girl they had adopted.

Southwest Green Team Cleans Up Linden Hills Trolley Garden

     

    Yesterday more than 35 exceptional hard-working members of  the Southwest Green Team put the Linden Hills Trolley garden to “rest” for the winter.  They spread out 250 bags of Cyprus Mulch and planted a number of bee & amp; butterfly friendly wildflowers and bushes to the Garden.  This is the third year that the Green Team has been involved with this particular community service project.  It blooms during the spring, summer, and fall, so we encourage you to take a walk there and see what our students have done for the community. 

          The Garden is located on York Ave. S. (it actually encompasses Xerxes Ave. S. to Zenith Ave. S.).  This work was made possible by support of the Linden Hills Neighborhood Association and by these members of the Southwest Community Education Advisory Council:  Harold Berman, and Linden Hills neighborhood residents Steve & Pat Liszewski  -- and Anne Feicht.

Indigenous People's Day events include sunrise ceremony at Lake Calhoun (Bde Maka Ska)

by Joe Kimball | 10/09/15

While much of the country celebrates Columbus Day on Monday, many events will be held in the Twin Cities commemorating Indigenous People's Day.

The Minneapolis City Council renamed the holiday last year; St. Paul has it both ways: the city council voted to recognize Indigenous People's Day but also to continue recognizing Columbus Day as the state and federal holiday.

The two cities joined many others around the country, including Seattle and Portland, in making the change. The movement honors Native American culture; it is also a counter-celebration to Columbus Day and protest of the European conquest of North America (which had been "discovered" centuries earlier by native peoples).

A Facebook page lists many Twin Cities events on Monday, including a sunrise ceremony at Bde Maka Ska, also known as Lake Calhoun. It's at 7:15 a.m., at 3700 Thomas Av. S., Minneapolis.

Some other events:

·        Red Shawl Round Dance, 9 a.m., followed by brunch and panel discussion, American Indian Center, 1530 E. Franklin Av., Minneapolis

·        St. Paul Indigenous Peoples Day, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m., Crowne Plaza, 11 Kellogg Blvd. E., St. Paul

·        The Indigenous People’s Day Hip Hop Show, 5-8:30 p.m. Augsburg College, 2211 Riverside Av., Minneapolis
