Honoring the U.S. Army: Lebanon to celebrate 250th commemoration
LEBANON — An anniversary commemoration of the founding of the United States Army will be held at the War Office in Lebanon this weekend. The commemoration will be held Saturday at the War Office, 149 West Town Street, Lebanon. The First Congregational Church bells, designed by Colonel John Trumbull, painter of the American Revolution, will ring 13 times for the 13 American colonies at 1 p.m. to start the ceremony. The ceremony is open to the public and is being held by the Sons of the American Revolution. There will also be a National SAR special grave marking ceremony at the tomb of General George Washington, as Commander-in-Chief, at Mount Vernon. 'It's a very important day in U.S. history,' said Todd Gerlander, chairman of the CTSSAR Historic Sites & Celebrations-America 250 Committee. 'This was the start of the United States Army, with the creation of the Continental Army on June 14, 1775.' The day after, General George Washington was appointed commander-in-chief. The Continental Army would go on to defeat the British during the American Revolution. 'All of our 250th anniversary celebrations are a little bit different, depending on the historical event we're commemorating,' Gerlander said. 'We will have a speaker on the Continental Army (he will also be dressed as a Continental soldier), and we will have a modern U.S. Army soldier to compare and contrast.' There will also be a display of the Continental soldiers inside the war office. As June 14 also marks Flag Day, an outdoor flag display will be on display, weather permitting.

‘Unthinkable': The attack on Mother Emanuel left behind hurt, anger
Mother Emanuel had faced peril before. In the summer of 1822, just a few years after it was formed, one of its founders was suspected of leading a rebellion of enslaved people; he was one of 35 people killed. The church was burned in a fire and later rebuilt, then an earthquake damaged the church in 1886. It was 129 years before trouble struck again. '[In] 1963, I was 12 years old when they were doing the marches downtown on King Street to desegregate the lunch counters,' said Herb Frazier, a historian and Charleston journalist who grew up in the city. He remembers much of his life revolving around Mother Emanuel. 'I know that there were people families all through the city of Charleston who would walk from the north end of the city, and my cousins would come from the west side of the city, and we would all come and see each other on Sundays at Mother Emanuel,' Frazier said. For him, like so many people in Charleston, the church and family are intertwined and inseparable. 'You know, when I walk into church, I immediately my mind and my heart is flooded with the thoughts and the memories. My grandmother, yes, who sang on the choir there, and my father,' Frazier said. Mother Emanuel hosts Bible study for anyone with an open heart and the time to explore scripture. It was the same on June 17, 2015, and Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor was ready to go. 'She did come home before she went to church, and she asked us if we wanted to go with her to Bible study. I personally said no, because it was already late, my sister decided she wanted to go hang out with friends, and then my youngest sister had basketball,' said Kaylin Doctor-Stancil, Rev. DePayne's daughter. Plenty of others went to the Bible study, all for the purpose of worship. One gunman went, too, because he knew Charleston 'at one time had the highest ratio of Blacks to whites in the country.' 'Mother Emanuel was not a randomly selected church. It's amazing when you think about it, because, because the details show you how calculating the murderer who came here was. I mean, he originated from the area of the Midlands, and came down here, probably on Highway 26 which means that he passed many other Black churches along the way. It meant also that he passed HBCUs, Historically Black Colleges and Universities; South Carolina State, Claflin Allen in Columbia, Benedict in Columbia. And so he was bent and determined on coming to Mother Emanuel, and he also had a sense of how important that church and that congregation was for this community and for African Americans in the country,' said Dr. Bernard Powers, a historian in Charleston. No one at the church that night could have known that he had written a manifesto referencing Nazis and talking about hsi hate for Black people and other races. So the ten members at the Bible study welcomed him in, and when they formed a prayer circle, he pulled his gun and opened fire. 'One of my daughters called me and said, 'Daddy, there's been a shooting at your church,' Frazier said. 'I'm thinking this must have been a shooting maybe outside the church. I didn't have a sense that this was a shooting in the church. The unthinkable; I mean, why would anybody be shooting in a church of all places, you know?' Frazier said. 'Watching the news, breaking news, shooting at Emmanuel AME Church, and I called Cynthia, because Cynthia was my touch point to all things Charleston, and obviously she didn't pick up the phone, and that's okay. She's trying to, you know, figure out what's going on herself. And about 45 minutes went past, the news story got worse and worse on all channels,' said Charlotte city councilmember Malcolm Graham. Graham's sister, Cynthia Hurd, was one of the people in attendance that night. 'He said there's so much confusion happening in Charleston, but he was able to find out that from those who survived the shooting, they had identified Cynthia as being at the bible study at the church at the time of the shooting, and then from that moment on, you just got this gut feeling that she was involved in the most awful way and that she was at the church. Sometime later, I got a call that night from the coroner's office in Charleston asking me to describe Cynthia,' Graham said. 'We kind of already knew deep down that something tragic had happened,' Doctor-Stancil said. Cynthia and DePayne were killed that night, in a place that felt like a second home to them. Doctor-Stancil would have been there, but she and her sisters decided not to go to church that night. She was 16 at the time. 'How do you look back on that moment, deciding not to go?' Ken Lemon asked her. 'It hurts. It hurts a lot, sorry. It hurts a lot, because I know specifically for me, I didn't want to go because I was angry. I was angry that you decided to go get your certificate over and taking me to go get my license. You know, being a teenage girl, not realizing other things are important at the time. And I look back on it, because I'm just like, dang, I was, I was mad at my mom for wanting to do something that she'd already planned to accomplish, and I ended up losing her that night. And it was the moment that I could have had with her, and maybe that wouldn't have happened if I went and I something that I constantly ask myself and tell myself. And it's like, well, you didn't know that was going to happen, so you can't hold yourself accountable for it. But it does hurt. It does hurt because I wonder if that would have changed the course of events, if we all had went with her. I wonder if that had changed anything. But at the same time, it's also like, if we did go, will we still be here,' Doctor-Stancil said. 'How did you feel in that moment? Understanding the purpose wasn't a misunderstanding,' Lemon asked Graham. 'I was angry, I was done in the forgiving mood,' Graham said. As Graham prepared to leave Charlotte headed to Charleston, we learned that the gunman was headed toward Charlotte.

I hyphenated my last name after getting married to honor my identity. It only created more problems.
At 19, I found out I had been adopted from Colombia, and my name had been changed. When I married, I chose to hyphenate my last name so as not to lose my identity again. Not all forms allow you to add a hyphen, leading to inconsistencies across records. At 19, I had the shocking discovery that not only did I have a different name when I was born, but that I was adopted from Colombia. When I was adopted, my birth name was immediately changed, and after years of fighting tooth and nail to fit in with my family, I decided that losing my family's name when I married was too much for me. I couldn't deal with yet another change to my identity, so I hyphenated my last name when I was married — a choice that I ended up regretting. When I was born, my name was Elisa Contreras Nieves, a name given to me by FANA, a foundation for the adoption of abandoned children in Bogotá, Colombia. While it is weird to think that strangers named me and not my mother, it was nevertheless my name — one of the few ties to my birth mom and country. Like many adoptees, my parents decided to change my name to something they preferred. Luckily, my mom liked my first name and only slightly changed Elisa. I did, however, lose my Latino last name to Guida, my father's very Italian name, which eventually led to years of racial ambiguity, where people were constantly asking, "What are you?" While I proudly wore it, the world questioned my ownership of a name that didn't quite match the face of what people expected to see. From cultural events at school, to repping his country in a vibrant green, white, and red Italian soccer jersey during the world cup, to winning awards in the Italian Honor Society with "Guida" proudly across the certificates, my identity was fully tied up in a name that didn't quite fit me. Growing up in an immigrant American family, I was taught the importance of family and culture. The struggles our family had before immigrating and achieving the ideal American dream came with prejudice that my father never let me forget. My father's heavy accent and name immediately signaled him out in school, where teachers called him the slur "guinea," which is one reason he pushed me so hard to represent not only his name, but his Italian culture. Being the first in my immediate family to graduate from high school and college meant my name — our name — was featured proudly in the program they handed out at graduation. My father had framed one in a beautiful plaque that hangs proudly in my home office, so when it came time to get married, I knew what I had to do. Changing my name almost seemed too simple. I filled out my marriage certificate and carefully wrote Guida-Richards, a tie to my old and new life. Now, I knew each change in documents and credit cards could add up to quite a few, but I didn't expect everyday activities to become a lot more difficult due to the simple addition of a little hyphen and my husband's last name. When I would go to the pharmacy to pick up medication, suddenly, there were difficulties in finding me in the system. Due to the hyphenated name, locating me in the system was now a challenge. And when you must pick up multiple medications throughout the month to manage your chronic illnesses, each of these interactions starts to add up. Over the next few years, I questioned my decision every single time an issue arose. While it is completely legal to add a hyphen to your name, it does not mean that it is an available choice when filling out an array of forms or inputting your information in computer systems at the doctor, pharmacist, or even DMV. This led to inconsistency across records and difficulty in my professional life. When I got married, I worried that embracing my husband's name would somehow erase my family ties. Completely changing was something I just couldn't get on board with until I spent years unpacking my identity in therapy. Now that I have, I have realized it's OK not to like it anymore. People change, we adapt, we grow, and sometimes our names need to change, which is why I will save up to do just that. Melissa Guida-Richards is a transracial adoptee, author, and advocate.
