Kingdom Under Glass: A Tale of Obsession and One Man’s Quest to Preserve the World’s Great Animals is the first book written by American author and journalist Jay Kirk. It was published by Henry Holt in 2010. Kingdom Under Glass is the biography of Carl Akeley, the American taxidermist and creator of the African Hall in the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. Kirk first came up with the idea of writing Akeley’s biography when researching a piece he wrote about panthers for Harper’s Magazine, saying in an interview that the paradoxical nature of Akeley’s character and job was what most appealed to him in writing the biography; the Washington Post reviewed Kingdom Under Glass, praising Kirk’s talent and the book’s “daring” narrative. Kirk was featured talking about Kingdom Under Glass on NPR’s All Things Considered podcast. SFGate calls Kingdom Under Glass “an epic display of one man’s life”, while Kirkus says the book narrates the “feral escapades of a creative wunderkind stitched together with novelistic zeal".

The documentary Stuffed, featured at 2019’s SXSW conference, features Kirk talking about Akeley and Kingdom Under Glass

The Colored National Convention of 1855 was held at Franklin Hall in Philadelphia on October 16, 17, 18. It consisted of delegates from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Canada; the delegates ranged from famous African Americans like Frederick Douglass and Mary Ann Shadd to unknowns like Rachel Cliff. There were a handful of female delegates in attendance, although their numbers were incomparable to the number of males. Nonetheless, their presence was striking in an age when women’s rights had begun to be realized. In addition, the female delegates’ husbands were not invited to the convention; the main theme of the convention was social liberty for free African Americans. The delegates recognized that while the abolition of slavery was an important issue, it would be useless if the racial prejudice that had grown up in the North was allowed to persist. Therefore, they discussed ways to help African Americans become economically independent, in order to gain the respect of whites.

First, they brought up the creation of an industrial school for free blacks, but dismissed the idea as being inefficient and costly. They continued to discuss the many merits of apprenticeships, throughout the convention minutes, there is an emphasis on education in the area of mechanical trades. Overall, the convention provides a hopeful message that by increasing the availability of knowledge and opportunities for young, free African Americans, a better reward could await those still suffering under the yoke of slavery upon the advent of their freedom
