(I was fascinated when I pulled off my new bright red socket to find that my ankles and feet had been dyed red!) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6005ee3f3753c24df249a1a0/3f2b532c-84e9-4407-a603-17fc3f96bf1f/poleskey_childhood.jpg Stories - Dr. Molly Taylor-Poleskey - It also means that I continue to involve my whole self: my mind, my heart and yes, my family in this scholarship. My mother was the first person who told me about the St. Philip’s Church renovation and interpretation that had launched the seed of the Hidden Town initiative. I believe she, too, has been profoundly moved to realize hidden elements in a history she thought she knew. I have asked my parents to bring my children to both of our final field school presentations. Of course, the kids are becoming familiar with the historic district and are thrilled with pumping water themselves. I value my early experiences at Old Salem (it will always be one of my “happy places”) and I hope they feel a sense of connection there too. But, I want them to see a fuller story in which they understand that black and white Moravians built the early town. Eventually, I’d like them to understand the museum’s history and how stories about the past might reflect the shame or biases of the present, but they can change to embody the hopes for a more equitable future.
