Long before the type was set on the Declaration of Independence, these ideals filled the defense of a New York printer, John Peter Zenger, delivered by his Philadelphia lawyer, Andrew Hamilton, against

- [Episode No. 30 - Printing the Revolution, Part 2](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-30-printing-the-revolution-part-2/) - The American Revolution was messy and improvised. Nothing was inevitable. We’ll take a look at the events, and key documents, leading up to the printing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, to understand why its printing was messy, improvised, and anything but inevitable. Guests Emily Sneff, historian of early America, leading expert
- [Episode No. 29 - Printing the Revolution, Part 1](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-29-printing-the-revolution-part-1/) - You know that beautifully, hand-written Declaration of Independence, with “In Congress, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration…” across the top? Well, that’s not this story. Instead, we’re talking about how the Declaration of Independence really reached the masses, and why that was so important in the years leading up to the American Revolution. Guests Joseph

- [Episodes No. 21-24 - Election Day on the Streets of Philadelphia (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episodes-no-21-24-election-day-on-the-streets-of-philadelphia-companion-blog/) - When I look at the gallery of images below showing Election Day in Philadelphia (and similar places), I am struck by the number of people out on the street. Today, the definition of who is an "eligible voter" has expanded and voting is safer. These changes are essential for a true democracy. But have we
- [Episode No. 23 - Election Day on the Streets of Philadelphia (Part 3 - The Gilded Age City)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-23-election-day-on-the-streets-of-philadelphia-part-3-the-gilded-age/) - Voting changed after the Civil War in the newly consolidated City of Philadelphia. More men could vote on Election Day than ever before, and the vast majority of them did, though not without deadly violence. Government corruption also expanded. The Pennsylvania Republican party machine blatantly manipulated the vote. Yet, no one did much about it.
- [Episode No. 21 - Election Day on the Streets of Philadelphia (Part 1 - The Colonial City)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-21-election-day-on-the-streets-of-philadelphia-part-1-the-colonial-city/) - Colonial Philadelphia’s government provided a striking contrast to the more egalitarian, consensus-driven leadership of the Native American Lenape. Election Day in colonial Philadelphia placed a spotlight on the social hierarchy with a highly orchestrated, political ritual where wealthy male voters took the stage. But maintaining the high ground wasn’t always easy. Our guest for this
- [Episode No. 22 - Election Day on the Streets of Philadelphia (Part 2 - The New American Capital)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-22-election-day-on-the-streets-of-philadelphia-part-2-the-new-american-capital/) - The founding fathers wanted to pretend that the government of the newly formed United States stood above faction. But organizing and get out the vote tactics in the streets of Philadelphia proved this wasn’t true. By 1830, political parties had become a driving force behind Election Day. Voting was now a partisan contest limited to
- [Episode No. 24 - Election Day on the Streets of Philadelphia (Part 4 - The 20th Century City)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-24-election-day-on-the-streets-of-philadelphia-part-4-the-20th-century-city/) - Casting a ballot on Election Day transformed into a completely different experience in the early twentieth century. Generally, voting in Philadelphia moved indoors, grew safer, more inclusive, and, maybe, a little boring. Or has it? Our guest for this series is Professor Mark Brewin, Associate Professor of Media Studies, at the University of Tulsa. This
- [Episode No. 7 - Women and the Centennial (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-7-women-and-the-centennial-companion-blog/) - Women and the Centennial This story about Caroline Le Count and the Women’s Centennial Executive Committee has so many layers, and it feels remarkably relevant today. You could take this story in many different directions. Chris Hayashida-Knight, PhD, now at the University of California, Chico, delved into this story in his dissertation about Black Women’s

After the Civil War, women from all walks of life worked to make Philadelphia a better place. Some tried to clean up the streets. Some walked the streets in protest. And some continued, quietly, to improve their everyday lives through community and collective action.
- [Episode No. 20 (Companion Blog): These are the People in the Gilded Age, Part 2](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-20-companion-blog-these-are-the-people-in-the-gilded-age-part-2/) - If you listened to Episode 20, you may be wondering what happened to the children that were separated from their families. There were a few options. But the main goal was to get these kids away from the streets and the dense urban neighborhoods they called home. Various organizations offered places for children that were

If you do (and who doesn’t?), then this episode is for you. We’re going to peer into the homes of the different people living in Philadelphia during the Gilded Age. We’ll look at how they
- [Episode No. 10 - Philly Streets in the 1700s (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-10-philly-streets-in-the-1700s-companion-blog/) - While researching this episode, I was reminded of the Leslie P. Hartley quote: "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there." We in Philadelphia feel that we kind of know Colonial Philadelphia. It was a simpler time. Men wore those funny, triangular shaped hats. Horses clip-clopped along cobblestone streets. But Colonial Philadelphia

Entire neighborhoods sprang up to house a growing population. Major infrastructure projects changed how people experienced the street. For some, it was a time of marvels. For others, it brought new perils to the street. To see historical images and find a full list

The case hinges on whether cities can fine individuals who violate municipal laws by sleeping outdoors when these individuals have no where else to go. Lower
- [Money (its not what you think)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/money-its-not-what-you-think/) - We take money for granted today in the United States. Our currency is standardized and federally regulated. A dollar in the bank, a dollar in your pocket, a dollar paid at the cash register. They’re all the same. It’s easy for us to forget that money didn’t always work this way. I plead guilty to
- [Episode No. 18: Philly Streets in the Gilded Age (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-18-philly-streets-in-the-gilded-age-companion-blog/) - Electrical wires first appeared on Philly streets in 1845. A few pioneering wires were strung up on poles to facilitate the latest communication innovation: the telegraph. By the Civil War, tall telegraph poles were a common sight. At war's end, telegraph poles sprouted like the masts of ships from street corners. They had grown to
- [Episode No. 16 - Civil War Flows through Philly Streets](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-16-civil-war-flows-through-philly-streets/) - Philadelphia, like the rest of the nation, was poorly prepared for war. When the Civil War broke out, the cobbled-together city became a key part of the North’s thrown-together war machine. The war flowed through Philly streets, where city residents fought to make the best of a bad situation. To see historical images and find
- [Dying for a Living Wage: Women's Work during the Civil War](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/dying-for-a-living-wage-womens-work-during-the-civil-war/) - While researching episodes for the podcast, I am constantly tempted down rabbit holes, chasing after fascinating fragments of history. Recently, I was struck by this image from the Library Company of Philadelphia, which shows a munitions factory explosion at 10th and Reed Streets in March 1862. It was the figures of women in flames that
- [REBROADCAST Episode No. 4 - The Fight for Philly's Streetcars](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/rebroadcast-episode-no-4-the-fight-for-phillys-streetcars/) - We're rebroadcasting this earlier episode about the Black community's fight to integrate Philly's streetcars in the years following the Civil War 1865-1871. This story fits into the timeline of the series on the history of Philly's streets. It details the legislative and physical battles fought to win access to public transportation in Philadelphia. Stay tuned
- [Episode No. 16 – Civil War Flows through Philly Streets (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-16-civil-war-flows-through-philly-streets-companion-blog/) - Painted transparencies were the lighted billboards of the nineteenth century. Large scenes and words painted on thin cloth or paper were stretched over a wood frame, like a canvas painting, and illuminated from behind. The painted surfaces were protected with several coats of varnish. The effect would have been like a glowing painting in a
- [Episode No. 15 - Streetcars Seize the Streets](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-15-streetcars-seize-the-streets/) - In a remarkably short period of time, the newly consolidated city of Philadelphia was covered in rails. These rails ushered in a transit revolution: the horse-drawn streetcar. From 1858 to 1861, the streetcar transformed Philly streets. It filled a major gap in the city’s existing, patchwork transportation system. But the streetcar also disrupted city life
- [Episode No. 15 - Streetcars Seize the Streets (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-15-streetcars-seize-the-streets-companion-blog/) - One of the things I was really curious about when I started this series was how we came to prioritize vehicles over people in the street. For a brief time during the pandemic, many people were wondering why we had turned over so much of our city to cars. Why did people on small alley
- [Episode No. 14 - Violence in the Streets: The Origins of our Modern City](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-14-violence-in-the-streets-the-origins-of-our-modern-city/) - What kind of city did Philadelphia want to be? There were lots of different opinions in the 1840s and 1850s, but everyone agreed: it did not want to be like this. Our modern city was born out of the ashes of racist violence and anti-immigrant riots. During unstable times, the streets themselves became a weapon
- [Episode No. 14 - Violence in the Streets (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-14-violence-in-the-streets-companion-blog/) - I had such a hard time on this episode! The city of Philadelphia that we know today came out of a crucible moment in the 1840s and 1850s. Larger economic forces brought on the Panic of 1837, but its effects were felt deeply by residents of Philadelphia. Historians blame the Panic of 1837 on the

Early factories were changing the way Philadelphia worked, and it wasn’t pretty. Dismal conditions brought workers together in the streets to demand reforms, which were derailed by an economic collapse. In the background, steam technology was about to transform Philly’s streets. A frenzy of railroad construction in
- [Episode No. 12 - Philly Streets in the Early Republic](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-12-philly-streets-in-the-early-republic/) - Life overflowed onto the streets of Philadelphia in the Early Republic. The streets were intensely social spaces, but could also be extremely dangerous. As the city grew, it began to take an interest in its past. Street life ebbed and flowed around a boozy calendar of events, where the powerful displayed the proper order of
- [Episode No. 13 - Steam, Steam (kind of) Revolution (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-13-steam-steam-kind-of-revolution-companion-blog/) - Whenever I go to historic house museums, I always want to see where the servants lived and worked. Most of the time, these areas have been repurposed for storage or office space, maybe a kitchenette for tour guides. They’re rarely open to the public. But I figure that if I lived back then, I’d be
- [Episode No. 12 - Philly Streets in the Early Republic (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-12-philly-streets-in-the-early-republic-companion-blog/) - I always wanted a short and sweet history of America in the 1800s, but I couldn’t ever seem to find one. After writing this (and the next few) episodes, I now know why this history doesn’t exist. There is just a lot going on. So much of the early nineteenth century feels so alien. Public
- [Episode No. 11 - The American Revolution on Philly’s Streets](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-11-the-american-revolution-on-phillys-streets/) - American Revolution and the early Republic of the United States of America on Philly Streets.

The American Revolution in Philadelphia? Did I really have anything to add? In the end, I realized that the Revolution was essential to understanding Philadelphia. It was truly a crucible moment. The British colonial city went through hell and emerged as the national capital of the newly federated United
- [Episode No. 10 - Philly Streets in the 1700s](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-10-philly-streets-in-the-1700s/) - Philadelphia in the 1700s is a tale of two cities. The city is innovative and forward thinking about improving public spaces. But the city is also a place of deeply entrenched inequality. And you can see it in the streets. From small colonial town, to the largest city in British North America, Philadelphia’s wealth and
- [Episode No. 9 - A Guide to Why Streets Matter, plus Philly's Early Streets](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-9-a-guide-to-why-streets-matter-plus-phillys-early-streets/) - Streets are our most basic, and fundamental, public spaces. Cities can’t work without them. But we tend to take them for granted. The everyday-ness of the street gives us a false sense that the streets were always there, pretty much doing the same thing. But our streets have a history too. In this episode, we’ll

It began with a remarkable conversation with Professor Michael Kahan from Stanford University. I had stumbled across his PhD dissertation at Penn while researching Philadelphia’s streetcar integration fight in the 1860s. Our conversation happened while life was still pretty much

A 21-year-old Black woman was recently appointed principal of a new public school on a small alley in the Seventh Ward. This woman is Caroline Le Count, and she will go on to build the largest Philadelphia public school with an all Black student body, and an all Black teaching staff. But Le
- [Episode No. 5 - Philadelphia Public Schools and Caroline R. Le Count: Part 1](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-5-philadelphia-public-schools-and-caroline-r-le-count-part-1/) - In this city, there are very different educational opportunities for the wealthy and the poor. But reformers and activists are trying to find ways to provide an education for all children. It is the beginning of a colossal and imperfect experiment in publicly-funded schools in nineteenth-century Philadelphia. One group in particular, Black Philadelphians, was determined
- [Episode No. 6 - Philadelphia Public Schools: Part 2 (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-6-philadelphia-public-schools-part-2-companion-blog/) - The O.V. Catto School The Octavius V. Catto School was built for Caroline R. Le Count, principal, and her all Black teaching staff, on the south side of Lombard Street, between 20th and 21st Streets.

I had originally planned to make this a three-part series about Caroline Le Count, moving from her life and times during the Civil War and ending with an episode on her career in education. A Caroline Le Count trilogy. So perfect. But no matter

- [Episode No. 4 - The Life and Times of Caroline R. Le Count: Part 2](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-4-the-life-and-times-of-caroline-r-le-count-part-2/) - A city at war with a not-so-distant enemy, hospitals overwhelmed and spilling over into temporary tents, nurses asking citizens to donate critical supplies, it’s Philadelphia in 1863. Philadelphia was central to the Union war machine during the Civil War, but that doesn’t mean it was a bastion of abolitionist sentiment. As the war exposes deep

Le Count: Part 2 (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-4-the-life-and-times-of-caroline-r-le-count-part-2-companion-blog/) - I originally intended for episodes 3 and 4 to launch together. So I apologize for leaving you with such a cliff hanger over the past two weeks. I hope you're back to find out what happens next. I learned so much reading about Philadelphia during the Civil War. There is Frank Taylor’s encyclopedic and heavily

LeCount: Part 1 (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-3-the-life-and-times-of-caroline-r-lecount-part-1-companion-blog/) - This podcast trilogy started with reading the book Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America by Daniel Biddle and Murray Dubin. I thought Catto’s life would make a great story for the podcast, maybe more than one episode. So much was happening in 1860s Philadelphia. It was a curious
- [Episode No. 3 - The Life and Times of Caroline R. Le Count: Part 1](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-3-the-life-and-times-of-caroline-r-le-count-part-1/) - An important moment of the Civil Rights movement happened right here in Philadelphia, and it took place nearly 100 years earlier than the well-known demonstrations of the twentieth century. Philadelphia in the 1860s was a city on the move. The city was growing fast and developing new city-wide services, but progress wasn’t being felt equally
- [Episode No. 2 - The Aftermath of the Germantown Protest](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-2-the-aftermath-of-the-germantown-protest/) - Early colonial Philadelphia was a place of contention. Colonists had strong opinions about what this Quaker experiment should look like, and they didn’t always agree. From its earliest days, Philadelphia was a diverse place with class divisions, religious discord, and economic inequality. These fractures in the young colony were intensified by the practice of slavery
- [Episode No. 2 - The Aftermath (Companion Blog)](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-no-2-the-aftermath-companion-blog/) - I’ve been told that you know a story is getting good when it suddenly takes off in a new and unanticipated direction. That’s how I felt tracking Katherine Gerbner’s scholarship as she made the compelling argument that two early American anti-slavery documents originated from the same resolute group of settlers in Germantown. As I followed
- [Episode No. 1 - The Germantown Protest of 1688](https://foundinphiladelphia.com/episode-1-germantown-protest/) - I became interested in the story of the Germantown Protest of 1688 after hearing about it on another podcast, the “Seeing White” series by the Scene on Radio podcast. I highly recommend the entire series, but “Episode 33: Made in America” was where I first heard about the Germantown Protest. I was surprised that I had never heard of it
