SUMMARY:North Carolina Special Edition: Durham Royal Ice Cream Parlor Sit-In
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mrs. Mary Clyburn Hooks and Ms. Virginia Williams \nOn June 23\, 1957\, Rev. Douglas Moore of Asbury Temple Methodist Church led six young African Americans into Durham’s segregated Royal Ice Cream Parlor. The group entered the “Colored” entrance at the back of the restaurant and proceeded to the White section\, where they sat down and ordered ice cream. Denied service\, the protestors refused to leave. They were arrested and fined $10\, plus court fees. The Royal Ice Cream sit-in provoked controversy in not only the White community; it created a huge uproar among Black citizens\, many of whose members viewed the protesters not as freedom fighters but as troublemakers. Although the sit-in did not receive a lot of support\, it did help inspire future protests\, including the Greensboro F. W. Woolworth store lunch-counter sit-ins. Join us on the 65th anniversary of the Royal Ice Cream Parlor sit-in\, as two of the protestors share their memories of that historic day. \nMary Clyburn Hooks is a native of Monroe\, North Carolina. As a young woman\, she moved to Durham\, hoping to acquire an education and work in a more progressive town. After participating in the sit-in\, Hooks married and started a family. She attended North Carolina College at Durham (now North Carolina Central University)\, before settling in New Jersey. Virginia Williams came to Durham from her home in rural Northampton County\, seeking employment. After attending a political meeting\, the two young women felt compelled to take part in the upcoming protest. Following the events at the Royal Ice Cream Parlor\, Williams participated in other Durham demonstrations. She retired from a long career in food services and still resides in Durham.

SUMMARY:Outdoor Film Screening: Can You Dig This?
DESCRIPTION:When one thinks of South Los Angeles\, what comes to mind is gangs\, drugs\, liquor stores\, abandoned buildings and vacant lots. The last thing that you would expect to find is a beautiful garden sprouting up through the concrete\, coloring the urban landscape. As part of an urban gardening movement taking root in South LA\, people are planting to transform their neighborhoods and are changing their own lives in the process. Calling for people to put down their guns and pick up their shovels\, these “gangster gardeners” are creating an oasis in the middle of one of the most notoriously dangerous places in America. \nCan You Dig This follows the inspirational journeys of four unlikely gardeners\, discovering what happens when they put their hands in the soil. This is not a story of science and economics. This is a story of the human spirit\, inspiring people everywhere to pick up their shovels and “plant some shit.”

SUMMARY:Celebrate Juneteenth at the North Carolina Museum of History
DESCRIPTION:FREE in-person\, drop-in program \nJuneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. From its Galveston\, Texas\, origin in 1865\, the observance of African American Emancipation Day has spread across the United States and beyond. \nToday\, Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom and emphasizes education and achievement. It is a day\, a week\, and\, in some areas\, a month marked with celebrations\, presentations\, picnics\, and family gatherings. Juneteenth is a time for reflection and rejoicing\, and for looking to the future. \nDrop-in at the NC Museum of History for an afternoon of activities inspired by the national holiday. Meet members of the Battery B Second Regiment\, US Colored Light Artillery Civil War reenactors\, as they reveal the legacy of the courageous soldiers in the struggle for freedom and citizenship during the American Civil War. Visit museum exhibits\, and watch Neal Thomas make split-oak baskets\, like those used by families at early Juneteenth celebrations. \nWe will also be screening a new documentary film from PBSNC titled George Henry White: Searching for Freedom. \nThe 30-minute documentary film will be screened in Daniels Auditorium at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is free. \nThe historical biographical film chronicles the career of African American US congressman George H. White\, whose last term in Congress ended in 1901 after the disenfranchisement of African Americans across North Carolina. \nWhite’s final words to Congress predicted that African Americans would one day return to its halls despite the onset of the Jim Crow era. President Barack Obama recognized White’s accomplishments in a 2009 speech that brought the congressman’s legacy back into the spotlight. White’s rise to political leadership and his remarkable career are well known to historians\, but his story has been largely left out of the mainstream historical narrative. \nNorth Carolina historians and authors Crystal R. Sanders\, Earl Ijames\, David S. Cecelski\, and Benjamin R. Justensen appear in the film. \nHistorian Earl Ijames and the film’s director\, Mike O’Connell\, will introduce the film and participate in a Q&A session after the screening. All are welcome to this timely event presented by the NC Museum of History in honor of Juneteenth.

SUMMARY:Women in Jazz: On and Off the Stage
DESCRIPTION:The multifaceted field of jazz provides a wide range of opportunities for creative expression. Often overlooked\, the contributions of women have and continue to have a dynamic impact on jazz. As jazz performers\, educators\, artists\, producers\, and directors\, women have struggled for equal recognition. \nThey get their due in a lecture-concert presentation featuring Charlie Young\, Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks artistic director and professor of jazz studies at Howard University. Young highlights the contributions of some of the leading women in jazz as the SJMO performs music they’ve made famous: pianist\, composer\, and writer Marian McPartland (“Ambiance”); pianist\, composer\, and band leader Toshiko Akiyoshi (“March of the Tadpoles)”; and saxophonist\, arranger\, and educator (and SJMO member) Leigh Pilzer (“East Coast Andy”).

STUNT imagines scenes from the life of Nellie Jackson. Born in 1902\, Miss Nellie ran a brothel in Natchez\, Mississippi for sixty years until her death in 1990. A freedom fighter and entrepreneur who spied on the KKK and supported civil rights activists\, Nellie Jackson is a legend that troubles our notions of Black narratives and histories. By turns jubilant\, sensual and violent\, STUNT imagines Nellie as a woman who revels in her Blackness\, power and creation.

SUMMARY:How Race and Sports Shaped Charlottesville\, VA
DESCRIPTION:The Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society has launched a major oral history project called “Race & Sports: Athletics and Desegregation in Central Virginia.” This project seeks to collect and preserve the memories of those involved in Central Virginia public school sports during the period of Massive Resistance and desegregation. We are building a database of interviews with Black and White student athletes\, cheerleaders\, school administrators\, teachers\, coaches\, local leaders\, and parents who share their stories of that tumultuous time. Did athletics help to build relationships and understandings across the color line? Or did the “team” only exist on the field of play? Please join us on June 14\, 2022 at 7pm for an update on this ongoing project and hear from two participants who will share some of the stories we have documented.

SUMMARY:Memorials: The Journey to Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long\, but it bends toward justice\,” declared Martin Luther King\, Jr. in 1968. By the time you read that quote at the conclusion of this walk you will have encountered the author of the Declaration of Independence\, drafter of the country’s first bill of rights\, the champion of the New Deal and the woman helped author the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. For two weeks each spring the Tidal Basin glows with a pink-white hue of thousands of Japanese cherry trees. Yet once the glory of the blossoms has vanished the memorials around this manmade body of water continue to resonate with the American principles of independence\, equal rights\, and justice. Trace the evolution of the U.S. Civil Rights movement through up-close encounters with Thomas Jefferson Memorial\, George Mason Memorial\, Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial\, Martin Luther King\, Jr. Memorial plus views of the Washington Monument.
