Jane Goodall, “The Book of Hope”, Celebrityhood, and Meaning-Making

Jane Goodall’s “The Book of Hope” classifies itself as “a survival guide for trying times” and follows through on this promise. This book is a documented discussed between Jane Goodall, an English primatologist, conversationalist, and anthropologist (Appleton, National Geographic, 2024), and Douglas Abrams, an author and optimistic founder of Idea Architects (HaperCollins Publishers). This illuminating collaboration invites readers to live hopeful lives in order to inspire themselves and the world around them, beautifully stating “Hope is contagious.”

This book is a beacon of optimism, a lighthouse of faith, a sunbeam of necessary dreams for the often-daunting future.

Jane Goodall revolutionizes the concept of celebrityhood. Goodall is widely known and beloved, and uses this momentum to spread knowledge and potent positivity, selflessly. Goodall has dedicated her entire life to caring for animal’s wellbeing and the environments in which they exist. “The Book of Hope” illustrates Goodall’s lifelong devotion to meaningful change, discussing her journey from dreamer to globally recognized activist. This subversive depiction of celebrityhood paves new paths for what it means to be a celebrity. Fame can be wielded for the greater good, and Goodall amplifies this possibility through her actions and shared stories.

Fame and celebrityhood as a concept is often aligned with the implication of seeking personal gain, superficial attention, and fleeting resources. Goodall’s platform depicts an opposite portrayal. Goodall transcends modern spheres of celebrity and advocates for the attention and resources she garners to be poured back into her environmental causes.

Jane Goodall has contributed widely and profoundly to social causes and her activist pursuits throughout her lifelong career. “The Book of Hope” travels along these contributions in vivid, inspirational detail. Witnessing Goodall’s efforts places a direct emphasis on the power of change that each of us holds within us. Discussions of endurance, devotion, and unyielding perseverance to her passions serve as a call to action for readers to take inspiration from.

Goodall and “The Book of Hope” serve as powerful examples of social change being possible and pertinent. This book grows in relevancy as the world turns on and bursts of hope and feelings of ability wean away from us. Goodall ensures readers that the impact of one can influence many, and the influence of many can revolutionize communities. Spanning from discussions on climate change, politics, conservation efforts, and universes of meaning in between, “The Book of Hope” can speak to all who dare to listen.

“Only if we understand can we care. Only if we care will we help. Only if we help shall all be saved.”

“The Book of Hope” identifies and introduces distinct reasons for hope. By calling attention to individual’s ability, innovation, resilience, determination, and unrelenting spirit, readers are called back into ourselves and motivated to respond. Goodall’s unique, authentic, powerful perspective has impacted individuals for decades, and this book’s collection of her thoughts and experiences will carry on impacting readers for long to come. There will never be a time with humans do not require reminders of hope, or when the awe-inspiring actions of activists will not be important for us to draw motivation from.

“Let us use the gift of our lives to make this a better world.”

Séances At The White House? Why These First Ladies Turned To The Occult

From Mary Todd Lincoln to Jane Pierce, They Were Swept Up in the Spiritualism Movement of the 19th Century—a Belief That Living Souls Can Contact the Dead.

— By Parissa DJangi | April 24, 2024

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, sits with his wife Mary Todd and three children. Mary Todd turned to Spiritualism, the belief that departed souls can interact with the living, to process her grief after the death of her second youngest son, William, in February 1862.

The White House has hosted its share of prominent people: politicians, writers, musicians, scientists––and mediums.

Reflecting Americans’ belief in spirits unseen, some of the country’s first families held séances at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They nursed their grief with the help of mediums, demonstrating that séances aren’t only about the deceased; they’re also about the living.

Spiritualism Comes To The White House

On January 6, 1853, newly elected president Franklin Pierce and his wife Jane experienced every parent’s worst nightmare. Their only surviving child, 11-year-old Bennie, died in a horrific train accident in Massachusetts.

Jane Pierce struggled to adapt to life without her child. She even WROTE him letters as she secluded herself in her private quarters in the White House.

Having endured the deaths of two sons prior to her husband Franklin Pierce’s presidency and witnessing the death of her sole surviving child just two months before Franklin’s inauguration in 1853, First Lady Jane Pierce turned to Spiritualism to reconnect with her sons.

As Pierce fiercely mourned her son, a new religious movement took root across the country: Spiritualism, or the belief that the living could communicate with the dead. As historian Molly McGarry wrote in Ghosts of Futures Past, “a faith in Spiritualism and the experience that the dead continued to connect with the living” resonated in an America with an extensive mourning culture and “allowed some 19th-century Americans a new way of being in the world.”

Letter from Jane Means (Appleton) Pierce to her deceased son, Benjamin Pierce, 1853 January 30

Spiritualism’s popularity stemmed partly from 15-year-old Maggie and 11-year-old Katie Fox, sisters from Hydesville, New York. Though the pair lived relatively ordinary lives with their large family, they soon began making extraordinary claims. In 1848, they alleged that mysterious rappings in their family’s home came from a supernatural source: discarnate spirits. The sisters insisted they could communicate with them, interpreting the noises as a spectral form of Morse code.

The Fox sisters’ allegations electrified Americans eager to connect with deceased loved ones—individuals such as Jane Pierce. Fascinated by their narrative, she invited them to Washington.

No one knows what exactly occurred between Pierce and the Fox sisters. But the White House session may have mirrored the Fox sisters’ other séances, which commenced with guests sitting in a circle, holding one another’s hands, and reciting a prayer. Then, the rappings would begin, and the sisters would allegedly lift the veil on the spirit world.

The Lincolns’ Many Tears

National and personal tragedy converged in the thick of the Civil War when Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln buried one of their children. On February 20, 1862, 11-year-old Willie Lincoln died in the White House after battling typhoid fever for weeks.

The boy’s death devastated both his parents, but Mary Todd Lincoln’s grief was especially debilitating. She stayed in bed for weeks and couldn’t bear to attend his funeral. But even when she rejoined society, Lincoln longed for a reunion with her deceased son.

So, she turned to mediums. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Lincoln biographer David Herbert Donald used surviving documents to calculate that the first lady may have held eight séances in the White House.

One occurred in December 1862, when Lincoln hosted the medium Nettie Colburn for a séance in the Red Room.

Colburn later claimed that the president joined the séance––and that, in her trance-like state, she didn’t limit herself to communicating with Willie Lincoln. Instead, the spirits she channeled urged the president to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, which they predicted would “be the crowning event of his administration and his life.”

Sessions with Colburn and other mediums stoked the first lady’s faith that souls survive death. She even saw Willie in her dreams. “Willie lives,” she told her half-sister Emilie Todd Helm. “He comes to me every night and stands at the foot of the bed with the same sweet, adorable smile he always has had.”

The Last Gasp of Spiritualism

The White House was again in a state of mourning during the presidency of Calvin Coolidge in 1924. Coolidge’s 16-year-old son Calvin played a game of tennis––but he wasn’t wearing socks with his shoes. A blister formed on a toe and festered, and the infection turned septic. He died on July 7.

So, did the Coolidges employ a medium to contact their son? Harry Houdini, the famous illusionist, believed they had. He deplored spiritualism, séances, and mediums, all of which underwent a revival in the wake of World War I and the influenza pandemic. He was on a quest to expose mediums and psychics as the charlatans he believed them to be.

Illusionist Harry Houdini (left) spent the last years of his life debunking paranormal claims. In 1926, he testified in a Congressional hearing considering a ban on fortune-tellers. Photograph By National Photo Company Collection, Library of Congress

His greatest show in 1926 was when he testified in a Congressional hearing considering a ban on fortune-tellers. During the hearing, it was alleged that Jane Coates, a medium in Washington, D.C., had said, “I know for a fact that there have been spiritual séances held at the White House with President Coolidge and his family.”

Coolidge’s friends vehemently denied the allegation, drawing a clear line between what was acceptable––and what wasn’t. Séances, it seemed, crossed the line of respectability in a changing America.

By World War II, spiritualism no longer attracted the acolytes it once had, and White House séances became a curious footnote in history.

Kawan Karib

Franklin Pierce presiden keempat belas Amerika Serikat merupakan orang kelahiran Utara ( wilayah di sebelah Utara Amerika Serikat yang diidentikan dengan wilayah industri, berpandangan terbuka dan memperjuangkan penghapusan sistem budak) namun beliau malah menyetujui sistem perbudakan (menganggap budak kulit hitam merupakan "aset harta" milik para pengelola perkebunan di wilayah selatan yang wajib dilindungi negara). Beliau juga berteman dengan Jefferson Davis, seorang aktivis perbudakan pada masa itu.

Atas sikapnya ini Franklin Pierce menjadi semacam musuh publik saat itu, mulai dari partai politik, para aktivis hingga tetangga-nya sendiri memusuhinya. Baik ketika beliau masih menjabat sebagai presiden hingga ketika beliau telah pensiun.

Pada bulan Desember  tahun 1863, mantan presiden Franklin Pierce yang telah uzur kehilangan istrinya Jane Means Appleton. Sang mantan Presiden yang popularitasnya meredup menjalani rangkaian upacara pemakaman itu sendirian (keluarga Pierce telah lebih dulu kehilangan ketiga putranya) tubuhnya terlihat begitu ringkih sering batuk, namun tidak ada yang mempedulikan beliau. Sampai seorang tua maju dan memakaikan mantelnya kepada sang Mantan presiden.

Orang tua ini adalah sang penulis Nathaniel Hawthorne, beliau adalah sahabat karib Franklin Pierce. Mereka pertama kali bertemu saat berusia 17 tahun, ketika tengah berstatus sebagai sesama siswa di Bowdoin College.

Sewaktu Franklin Pierce maju sebagai presiden, meski dengan isu yang tidak populer. Nathaniel Hawthorne tetap mendukung sahabatnya itu sebagai juru kampanye. Ketika sang Presiden berhasil menang pemilu, sebagai imbal baliknya beliau mengangkat Nathaniel Hawthorne sebagai duta besar untuk wilayah Liverpool (sebuah pekerjaan yang tidak memerlukan tanggung jawab besar namun memberi kesempatan bagi si Penulis untuk mengunjungi Inggris dan memperkaya bahan tulisannya).

Saat karya-nya yang berjudul "Our old Home" selesai, Hawthorne mempersembahkan karya ini bagi mantan presiden Franklin Pierce. Penerbitnya sempat menolak untuk mencetaknya, kawan-kawannya sesama penulis juga menyarankan agar dia tak menyebut-nyebut lagi nama Pierce yang saat itu dianggap sebagai pengkhianat bangsa akibat persahabatannya dengan Jefferson Davis (yang kemudian memberontak dengan mengangkat dirinya sendiri sebagai presiden konfederasi dan melancarkan perang saudara).

Nathaniel Hawthorne tak peduli, dia menyatakan bahwa karya-nya ini terealisasi berkat kesempatan yang diberikan presiden Franklin Pierce. Sewajarnya ia harus mengungkapkan rasa terima kasihnya pada sang Mantan presiden yang juga putra pahlawan kemerdekaan Amerika Serikat ini. Persahabatannya dengan Pierce jelas lebih lama daripada masa perkenalan-nya dengan sesama penulis. Jika mereka ingin mengucilkan-nya dan bila rakyat Amerika serikat harus bersikap sepicik itu, maka mereka tidak perlu membeli karyanya.

Pada tahun 1864, Nathaniel Hawthorne yang sering mengalami kram perut mengajak karibnya Franklin Pierce untuk berlibur ke sebuah tempat bernama "White Mountain" di daerah New Hampshire konon tempat ini beriklim segar. Perjalanan antara dua karib ini disebut sebagai perjalanan paling tidak masuk akal di jamannya. Kondisi kram perut Hawthorne semakin parah, mantan presiden Franklin Pierce akibat sifat alkoholik-nya telah kehilangan salah satu penglihatannya, kaki-nya juga sudah mulai sulit melangkah dengan tegap. Di masa mudanya ketika mengabdi sebagai tentara, mantan presiden Franklin Pierce sempat mengalami kecelakaan (kudanya jatuh dan menimpa kakinya).

Banyak orang yang memprediksi bahwa salah satu dari mereka akan meninggal dalam perjalanan ini,  sebagian besar menduga bahwa ini merupakan perjalanan terakhir Franklin Pierce.

Ironisnya justru Hawthorne yang meninggal dalam tidurnya pada tanggal 19 Mei 1864 dalam sebuah kamar hotel di kota plymouth, New Hampshire. Saat rombongan mereka tengah dalam perjalanan  pulang dari White Mountain, mantan presiden Pierce lah yang pertama kali menyadari bahwa sahabat karibnya ini telah meninggal.

I can see 39 being said by Sam Howe, so would you like to do something with that? The recipient of the gift can be Julia, one of their kids, Charles, Ted, or whoever!

For as repressed and trapped in his hyper-masculinity as he often could be, there were a fewthings that Samuel Gridley Howe was openly exuberant about. Sports, naturally. Gardening,shockingly. Yet perhaps his greatest joys of all were the holidays. Halloweenat his apartment rivaled the most terrifying of haunted houses, and his Fourthof July barbecue was legendary throughout all of South Boston. Christmas topped themall.

Henry Longfellow’s parties tended to be grander, with a larger guestlist. Sam’s parties were somewhat more intimate, but by it’s very nature madean invite to one of them a very exclusive honor. Sam’s parties were fun, theywere entertaining, and they usually ended with some fucked up or legendarystory that would live on throughout the year until the next party could begin.There was the year Charles accidentally sat on Oliver and broke his hip. Twoyears ago, Sam attempted to cook a turkey for dinner and set the kitchen, andhis hand, on fire. Last year was by far the happiest, as Sam- perhaps as athank you in his own way for Henry’s mistletoe scheme- not only invited FannyAppleton to the shindig, but played such a charming and talented wingman thatby the end of the night Fanny had given Henry a kiss on the cheek.

If last year’s party would go down in history, this year’sparty would go down in legend. At least, that’s how Oliver would tell it afterthe fact, with a few embellishments for dramatic effect. It wasn’t entirelyOliver’s fault. He hadn’t actually been there to witness what had made it solegendary. No one had. It was entirely reliant on the few clues Sam and Charleshad offered up, and they weren’t offering many.

The legend began on Christmas Eve, as all the guests hadgone for the evening. Sam and Charles found themselves alone, with Sam bustlingaround the living room trying to tidy things up.

“Why didn’t you go with Henry? Sunday’s are usually his daysfor sleep overs.” Sam asked, curiously.

“Well, yes, but this was your party, and I’d rather sleepwith you tonight.” Charles shrugged, sitting down on the sofa and taking a smallsip of eggnog, fully aware of the double meaning in his reply and hoping that Samcaught on to it.

“The party is over, though.” Sam continued, pacing aroundthe room casually.

Charles wasn’t quite sure what to make of that reply. Samwas normally fighting Henry for time, and never seemed to complain when heactually won. Especially considering how flirty he was trying to be. Charleshad a sinking feeling in his gut that he might not be wanted, and it felt likea slap in the face. “Should…. I go?”

Sam glanced over at him, a flash of confusion on his face,which quickly melted into concern. “No! No no, I didn’t mean… no. Sorry.” Asigh. “I’m sorry. I’m… just out of it right now.”

Now it was time for Charles to look concerned. “Is somethingwrong, Chev?”

“I had an idea. Well, no, not an idea. Just. I was thinking,and I- now I’m thinking it was a bad idea. Not a bad idea, just not… right. Youknow?” He blurted out, waving his hands around as he attempted to gather histhoughts. Charles tried to follow the line of thought, but Sam had given himnothing to go on. All he could do was stare at him like he had five heads.

“No, right. Of course. I’m not making any sense. I- ok. Holdon.” Sam sighed again, then hurried out of the room, leaving Charles moreconfused than ever. He came back in a few minutes later, higher strung thanCharles had ever seen him before.

“Sam, I’m- really worried now. What is it?”

Sam slowly sat down next to him, holding a small parcel inhis hands. “I just… got you a present. It’s stupid. I should wait, really.”

Charles looked between him and the package, still completelyflabbergasted. “But it’s Christmas? Isn’t this the best time to open gifts? Imean, if you’re worried that it’s not Christmas day yet, it technically is.It’s after midnight!” Charles smiled widely. For as stoic as he could be attimes, he had a soft spot for presents, and for the life of him he couldn’tfigure out why Sam was acting so weird about it.

“Alright, fine. You’re right. I’m just being silly. Hostinga party is very stressful, Charlie. Here.” He smiled, still looking unnaturallytense, placing the parcel in Charles’ lap. “Merry Christmas. I… hope you likeit.”

Charles was eager to open it, but Sam’s behavior wasworrying him, and he shook his head. “Sam, is something wrong? I’m reallystarting to-”

“Just open the damn present, Charlie!” He snapped, shakinghis head immediately after. “Sorry! Sorry, please… please open it.”

Charles eyed him suspiciously, but did as he was told,unwrapping the gift and opening the box carefully. “It’s what I’ve alwayswanted, Chev! Tissue paper. Thank you!” He grinned, pulling out the wrappingand tossing it to the side.

Sam laughed, tension finally starting to fade. “Only thebest for you, Charlie. Only the best. I know how much you love tissue paper.Just wait til your birthday. Two words: Bubble wrap.”

“Ugh, you just spoiled my birthday present! Saaaaam.”Charles nudged him playfully, then continued fishing through the box curiously.“What exactly do you have in- oh.” Reaching down to the bottom, Charles pulledout a small box, fitting perfectly in the palm of his hand. “Is… this…” Charlesopened the little box slowly, gasping when he saw the ring inside. “Sam?”

Sam smiled, visibly shaking, and slowly got down on oneknee. “I was thinking, hey, it’s Christmas. It’s your favorite time of year,and it always makes you happy, but then tonight I was afraid it might not beenough. I should have done something more. Fireworks, or- something.”

“I don’t trust you with fireworks,” Charles laughed,blinking away tears.

“Fair enough. So…. Maybe… this is cliché, or not specialenough, and maybe I’m ruining it entirely with my entire personality, but… Ilove you. You already have my heart, Charlie. And god knows, I’m not worthy ofthe affection you’ve always given me. I’m cranky, and stubborn, and grumpy, andevery time I try to cook I burn the food or myself. I know I’m not a catch. Butyou chose me, all the same, and… I’m smart enough to know how lucky I truly am.Marry me?”

As Oliver would later recount, once he heard the news andwas able to tell others, the proposal was something out of a Jane Austen story.Sam was very eager to help confirm that fact, and Charles allowed the rumor tospread for Sam’s sake.

Charles was less pleased when Oliver continued that Charles’response was to jump on top of Sam, toppling both of them to the floor in loveand lust-filled frenzy. There was an interlude about the ring rolling under thecouch, in a way only Oliver could make entertaining, and the story concluded bystating that the ring was not actually put on until the next morning when theyboth remembered it. Charles denied it; Sam was non-committal. Henry, of course,was given the full story, but his lips remained sealed.

The only thing that can beconfirmed, as far as history can tell, is that Charles said yes.

First Ladies: Jane Means Appleton Pierce

Jane Pierce, with her son, Benjamin

Jane is described as a “delicate” child and adult.

Her brother-in-law was an instructor at Bowdoin College to a young man named Franklin Pierce. How Jane and Franklin met is not known for sure, all though this connection seems the most obvious. They were married on November 19, 1834. The couple is described as having a “genuine deep affection for one another”.
