Moon Over Montrose

Here we see a waning gibbous moon, one day beyond full Harvest, over Montrose Avenue in Kalamazoo, Michigan. It's illuminated 98.6% at this stage, and one may note that a plane took off from AZO and looped through the shot during the exposure.

Bertha Pitts Campbell (June 30, 1889 – April 2, 1990) was a civil rights activist and one of the 22 founding members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.

She was born in Winfield, Kansas. She spent most of her childhood in Colorado where she lived with her grandmother, Eliza Butler, a former enslaved who worked as a laundress.

She was the only African American student enrolled in Montrose High School when she graduated as valedictorian of the class of 1908. Upon graduation, she was offered a four-year scholarship to Colorado College. She declined the scholarship and chose to enroll in Howard University in 1908, where she received financial support from the Congregational Church. In 1913 she co-founded the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and took part in a women’s suffrage march in DC. In June of that year, she graduated cum laude from Howard University with a BA in Education. She taught for two years in Topeka.

She married Earl Pitts, a railroad worker, and government worker, in 1917. The couple spent some time in Colorado and moved to Seattle in 1923. They had one son, Earl Jr who was killed in an accident as a baby. Earl Sr. died of a heart attack in 1954.

In Seattle, she was a committed activist and organizer. She was a charter member of the Christian Friends for Racial Equality, an organization that worked to expand housing and other opportunities for the black community; she worked with the Seattle Urban League and was the first African American member of the board of directors of the YWCA of Seattle-King County. She was an active member of the YWCA for 53 years.

At age 92, she led 10,000 members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority in a march down Pennsylvania Avenue in DC to commemorate the participation of the organization in the suffrage march of 1913. Having long survived her husband and son, she spent her final years in a Seattle nursing home and died peacefully.

In 2018 and 2019, the Northwest African American Museum featured an exhibition on her and Mona Humphries Bailey, the 17th president of Delta Sigma Theta. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #deltasigmatheta

OC Questionnaire tag

Thank you for the tag @the-golden-comet

I'll be taking Dr. Phineas Abel Thorncroft and Simeon Montrose from The Masque of Murder for this too.

My questions are:

1. What would you do if your enemy asked for help?

2. Would you ask your enemy for help?

3. Do you act on impulse, or do you think before you act?

Dr. Phineas Abel Thorncroft

1. What would you do if your enemy asked for help?

- "If my enemy were to ask for my help, I would first evaluate the potential benefits to myself. Helping them could provide leverage or valuable information. I would demand something significant in return, ensuring the arrangement is advantageous to me."

2. Would you ask your enemy for help?

- "I would only ask my enemy for help as a last resort. I pride myself on my self-sufficiency, but I am not foolish. If the situation were dire enough, I might seek their assistance, albeit with extreme caution."

3. Do you act on impulse, or do you think before you act?

- "I always think before I act. Impulsive decisions often lead to mistakes, and I prefer a calculated, logical approach to any situation."

Simeon Montrose

1. What would you do if your enemy asked for help?

• "If my enemy asked for help, I would consider the request carefully. I'm not opposed to aiding them if it serves a greater good or furthers my investigation. However, I would ensure that any agreement works in my favor and maintain a position of strength."

2. Would you ask your enemy for help?

• "Asking my enemy for help would be a measure of last resort. I value my independence and resourcefulness, but if all other avenues were exhausted, I might approach them. I'd do so with a clear plan and an understanding of the risks involved."

3. Do you act on impulse, or do you think before you act?

• "I generally before I act. Being strategic and deliberate is crucial in my line of work. However, there are times when quick decisions are necessary, and I trust my instincts in those moments."

Looking north over Chicago's landfill efforts and extension of Lake Shore Drive. It's 1928 and the "Outer Drive" only reaches Montrose, with Montrose beach and Montrose harbor still being filled in. Irving Park Road's new access to LSD can be seen. Far to the north are the pink towers of The Edgewater Beach Hotel, then directly on the lake front. West of Montrose you can see a bit of the Wilson Avenue train station and the arch of the Arcadia Ballroom on the diagonal run of Broadway. The large campus of buildings on Marine Drive between Irving Park and Montrose is the former US Marine Hospital, now partially occupied by Disney Magnet School.

I Would Go Back

It’s been a little over three weeks since getting back from a trip to the United States with my family. We spent time with relatives, watched my younger sister get married, and visited other towns and cities. The visa application process was challenging, so was mustering up the courage to ask to take time off work, and finally spending an extended amount of time in foreign surroundings with family. But in many ways it, too, was worth it.

I have so far gotten through most of the pasalubong, given them away and shared to the people I returned to. I have unpacked (though the laundry refuses let me see the bottom of the bin, it seems). I have slept -- or at least tried to -- the jet lag away. I have somewhat fallen back into the rhythm of work. Yet, on quiet moments, I still find myself, in my mind’s eye, in the places we visited and in the company of the people we were with.

I’m still watching the fishes in Tito A’s fish tank, watching the leaves sway from the second floor window of his house with my sister’s two cats, and sweating under the Houston sun in a beautiful garden while teary-eyed as I watch two people exchange vows. I'm still in a bungalow with the orange door, figuring out which of my cousins own what room and committing to memory the things I like about their common bathroom (the soap, the shower curtains, the tiles). I’m still looking with wonder at the blue of Lake Michigan with my friend Div, walking along the artsy streets of the West Village, contemplating over paintings at the National Gallery I never thought I’d see with my actual two eyes, driving back from the zoo with Marie, falling along a long line at Trader Joe’s to buy mango juice, and sitting beside an older lady from Illinois who said I reminded her of her daughter who passed away much too young. I am still helping her figure out the controls of the in-flight entertainment so she could watch a movie on our layover from Taiwan and she hasn’t been to the Philippines since 2017. Last week, I wore a shirt that still smelled like the detergent my dad used with the hotel washers during designated laundry days. I knew that after that moment that scent would be gone, so I spent a few seconds inhaling it one last time from the inner collar. Inside my jewelry drawer, I have a pin of The Bean, a memento from my time in Chicago and my insistence to see this landmark and visit Grant Park. I’m currently hiding a bag of dark chocolate-covered gojis and raspberries my mom’s cousin bought at a grocery store for us. I pick two or three pieces everyday with glee and loss at the same time. I am here, but in some ways I am also still there.

I’d be honest that when we returned home, I didn’t think that I would want to go back so soon. I have things in Manila that I wanted, needed, to sort out so urgently moving forward with my life. And yet here we are, finding myself in quiet moments staring at the white of my walls and clinging to as much as I can remember, repainting and replaying the images in my mind over and over again.

I awoke at 2am yesterday… morning? evening? I never know what to call it, that time after 12 that is neither day nor night. For some reason, I was reminded to look up online the collections of the museums and galleries I went to during my time abroad. Google Arts & Culture didn't have works from the Menil Collection, but I was happy to find their website with the ones we weren't allowed to photograph during our visit. They have an interesting collection from the Surrealists. I would go back to walking along Montrose again. Or Evanston. Or along Avenue of the Americas after a late dinner while shivering in the cold of New York that is unfamiliar to tropical-born tourists like me. I would go back. I don’t know when, but I would.
