Intersectionality in the Lives and Works of Mary Ann Shadd and Henry Bibb
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Throughout the mid- to late nineteenth century, Henry Bibb and Mary Ann Shadd were highly accomplished and recognized abolitionists. Both Shadd and Bibb worked in the Detroit-Windsor region and resided in Windsor-Essex for a number of years. As part of their efforts, Shadd (The Provincial Freeman) and Bibb (The Voice of the Fugitive) were editors of their own newspapers that were targeted towards educating and informing Freedom Seekers. The abolitionists often worked together but also had a fair share of differences. Pre-existing research discusses the works of Shadd and Bibb, and the differences they demonstrated through their efforts, but little attention has been paid to how these differences were influenced by their lived experiences. This essay will use the individual lives and identities of Shadd and Bibb to observe the varying opinions and views as expressed in their newspapers. These conclusions will help determine how their identities influenced individuals who may have supported their views.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
