Downeast, Maine 2026

We just got back from our summer trip in Maine and now we're thinking of making a move Downeast. We stayed right on Route 3 at the Colonial Inn in Ellsworth - we wouldn't stay anywhere else. We hit Jordan Pond, climbed Penobscot Mountain and hiked along the Otter Cliffs. We climbed Cadillac Mountain and explored the Island, took the trip to Winter Harbor and Schoodic, saw the stars over Mount Desert Island from Lemoine Beach and saw some old friends from our trip last year. We took the Bar Harbor Ghost Tour and ate the best food. We took about 1500 pictures but these were some of the highlights.

Ruth Whitehead Whaley, First Black Woman to Practice Law in North Carolina

Long before the civil rights movement of the 1960s, Ruth Whitehead Whaley was blazing a trail for Black women in the legal profession and politics.

In 1925, the year that future civil rights leaders Robert F. Kennedy and Malcolm X were born, a year that saw 17 known lynchings of Black Americans, Ruth Whitehead Whaley became one of the first Black women admitted to practice law in New York. She was also the first Black woman to enroll at Fordham Law School, where she graduated in 1924 at the top of her class.

In 1933, Whitehead Whaley became the first Black woman to practice law in her home state of North Carolina. She also maintained a private practice in New York until 1944. She was later appointed secretary of the New York City Board of Estimate, which worked in tandem with the City Council. She served in that post from 1951 to 1973. Read more here.

Earlier this month she was honored with an historic marker located at the intersection of Ash Street at John Street, Goldsboro, North Carolina.
