New PEM Exhibit Featured on ‘Morning Show’
July 4, 2022New PEM Exhibit Featured on ‘Morning Show’
Dan Lipcan, Director of the Phillips Library at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, will visit “The Morning Show” on July 7th to talk about PEM’s new exhibit, “Let None Be Excluded: the Origins of Equal School Rights in Salem.”
Co-curated by Lipcan and Newburyport resident Dr. Kabria Baumgartner, Dean’s Associate Professor of History and Africana Studies at Northeastern University, the exhibit tells the fascinating story of the bumpy road toward racial equality in Salem’s schools in the 1800s.
Integrated in the early 19th century, Salem’s schools became segregated in 1834, then became integrated again a decade later due to the courageous, determined, and strategic efforts of youthful Black activists.
The exhibit highlights the extraordinary leadership shown by Sarah Parker Remond, who went on to become a physician, and Robert Morris, who became a distinguished lawyer.

“Summer Camp for Grown Ups” will also be discussed on the show by Newburyport Adult and Community Education’s Director, Vicki Hendrickson, and Assistant Director Patti St. John – who will take over the role of Director starting in January.
Hendrickson and St. John will describe the variety of summer offerings ranging from Spanish and Memoir Writing to Forest Bathing and Genealogy, as well as fitness classes, Tarot reading, and talks by author Dyke Hendrickson about his books on the Merrimack River and Plum Island.
