Guide to

African American

Heritage Sites in

Prince George's County

For over 300 years, African Americans have raised families and built communities that have been vital to the growth and development of Prince George's County, Maryland and its history.  They have established neighborhoods and built physical structures, many of which survive in the midst of the County's ever changing landscape.  This Guide invites you to take a visual journey to those African American historic sites and buildings that offer guided or self-guided tours.  Discover the richness and diversity that Prince George's County has to offer!  The sites range from a benevolent hall to churches, from an airfield to a ball field and from historic mansions to a log cabin.  They include St Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church in Laurel, Dorsey Chapel in Glenn Dale, Blacksox Park in Bowie, Columbia Air Center in Upper Marlboro, the Mount Calvert Historical and Archaeological Park in Upper Marlboro - there are more.  They provide tangible evidence of the importance African Americans place on family, religion, education, neighborhoods and community.

To get your Guide for a closer look at the buildings and sites on a comfortably paced tour that you design, contact gail.thomas@pgparks.com

Union & Education History

Link the Past - Bridge the Future

File:FrancisPatrick.jpg

Dr. Patrick Francis Healy (1834 - 1910)

Patrick Healy was one of five children born to Michael Healy, a transplanted white Irishman, and Mary Eliza Healy, a former slave.  By Georgia law, their children could have been sold as slaves - an action once suggested to the Healys by a group of white planters, who were subsequently run off the Healy property by dogs on Michael's command.  He and Mary Eliza dedicated themselves to providing an education and opportunity for their children, and their efforts were well rewarded.

Patrick Healy became the first black in the United States to earn a doctoral degree.  He was the twenty-ninth President of prestigious Georgetown University (1873 - 1882).  Patrick Healy's influence on Georgetown was so far-reaching that he is often referred to as the school's "second founder," following Archbishop John Carroll. Healy helped transform the small nineteenth century college into a major university for the twentieth century. He modernized the curriculum by requiring courses in the sciences, particularly chemistry and physics. He expanded and upgraded the schools of law and medicine.  He also broke the color barrier in Catholic education by becoming one of the most world renowned black Jesuit priests of his time.  As a tribute to his outstanding leadership, the Healy Building was erected.  It served as a center for administration, a classroom, and a dormitory.

Professionally Speaking

Much has been written and much has been said about the right of self-determination.  Yet, in the quiet corridors of public education institutions, most administrators and supervisors have become passive participants in those issues that most positively and/or negatively impact their livelihood.

Swirling around you are the national, state, & local tides of "accountability" for which you have had little or no input. Nevertheless,.......

INFORMATION
and
REMINDERS

We did not want to jump the gun and give you information that had not been approved by the Board of Education.  Now that it is official, we have some good news.
 
The Unions were able to work with the County Council and secure an additional $6M.  These funds will be used to pay for:


  --  1 furlough day - that is one less furlough day for employees
  --  To return those 11 month positions that were being converted to 10 months, back to 11 months
  --  To make those 12 month positions that were being converted to 10 months, 11 months


If you are in one of these 11 or 12 month positions and you have not received a letter from Human Resources, you should contact Synthia Shilling in Human Resources.
 
 
REMINDERS

--  Evaluations - the personnel evaluation form and job targets had to be done by October 1 or within 30 days of assignment.  Submission or changes after that time are not allowed. 

--  Work Week, Work Year (Section 3.02) - Unit II 11-month members work 210 days of each fiscal year between July 1 and June 30.  These days have nothing to do with teacher work days.  Day 1 is the 1st day you report to work in July or August.  Count to 210 days, then go home.

  --  Review your Personnel File at least once a year.  Call Human Resources to make an appointment.  Go page-by-page thru your File, ensuring that everything that needs to be there is there and that there is nothing there that should not be there.  Be your own inspector.

   -- You are entitled to a 30-minute duty-free lunch

   -- Your position is what you were assigned to, in writing, by Human Resources.  ONLY HR can make personnel assignments.  If a Chief, Director, etc. attempts to give you a new position or transfer, do not accept this and contact HR.

 issue ---

The Association of Supervisory and Administrative School Personnel (ASASP) is most concerned about your recent revelations pertaining to “furloughs.”  ..........  

.......  Your shared and expressed comments regarding “who” would be furloughed seemed to leave out significant employees of the school district.

      What one state could not get alone, what one miner against a powerful corporation could not achieve, can be achieved by the union.

--Mary H. Jones

ASASP is a labor union -- we purpose to give our members a voice in decisions that affect their jobs.  Among other items, we negotiate for wages, health benefits and better working conditions.  Unionized workers get more pay and better benefits than employees  who do comparable work but do not belong to a union.
