Presented by: Dr. Sheldon Spear

Admission: Free

Most Pennsylvanians are familiar with the legacy of William Penn and Benjamin Franklin. Dr. Sheldon Spear would like to introduce you to two unsung Pennsylvania pioneers who made substantial contributions to our history. Augustine Gallitzin is significant for his efforts to attract a steady influx of Catholics to the area, despite the prevailing bigotry of American Protestant clergy. Jane Grey Swisshelm, against many obstacles, managed to become one of America's first women journalists, known for embracing women's rights and the abolition of slavery.
