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”).

SUMMARY:National Museum of Women in the Arts Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic live reading of Saida Agostini’s poetry collection STUNT (2020)\, a reimagining of the life of Nellie Jackson\, an early twentieth century brothel owner\, freedom fighter\, and entrepreneur. \nLiterary maven Lisa Pegram will lead the reading\, which will also feature Agostini and performing artists Holly Bass\, Dehejia Maat\, Maryam Fatima Foye\, and Melani Douglass.

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.

This illustrated lecture will highlight ongoing slave house research\, fieldwork efforts\, and new methods of interpretation. Today’s preservation project stakeholders now include the voices of diverse groups. These changes have helped to empower historically excluded communities and preserve irreplaceable historic and cultural resources that are quickly disappearing and being forgotten.

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.

SUMMARY:Cecelia Larrison: A story of Self-Liberation from Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Cecelia Larrison is one of many people who liberated themselves from slavery long before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1846\, at age 15\, while on a trip to Niagara Falls with her enslavers\, the Thruston family of Louisville\, Kentucky\, Cecelia slipped away and crossed the border into Canada. \nThroughout her years as a free woman\, Cecelia faced many joys and hardships. The details of her life\, like those of many formerly enslaved people\, could have been lost to history. But fortunately\, we have significant documentation of Cecelia’s movements and struggles\, much of it coming from an unlikely source: a woman who was once her enslaver\, her childhood playmate\, and perhaps even her friend. \nAfter her liberation\, Cecelia started a nearly decade-long correspondence with her former “mistress\,” Frances “Fanny” Thruston. This online exhibit uses some of these letters to tell the story of Cecelia’s life after slavery.

SUMMARY:History Film Forum: Questlove's Summer of Soul Screening
DESCRIPTION:The History Film Forum is an online series from the Smithsonian that explores history on the screen and the evolution of film as public history. \nThe Harlem Cultural Festival took place the same summer as Woodstock and boasted an attendance on a par with that event 100 miles away. More than 300\,000 people filled Mount Morris Park for six weeks of extraordinary performances by artists including Stevie Wonder\, Sly and the Family Stone\, Nina Simone\, B.B. King\, the Staple Singers\, the 5th Dimension\, David Ruffin\, Mahalia Jackson\, and Gladys Knight and the Pips. \nDespite the stellar lineup\, the 1969 music event received little mainstream media coverage\, and 40 hours of performance footage shot by the late television pioneer Hal Tulchin remained in storage for 50 years. \nThat long-unseen material has been transformed into the feature documentary Summer of Soul (…Or\, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)\, the directorial debut of musician\, songwriter\, author\, and five-time GRAMMY Award recipient Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. Join a conversation with Thompson and producers Joseph Patel\, Robert Fyvolent\, and David Dinerstein\, and moderated by Fath Davis Ruffins\, a curator at the Smithsonian American History Museum\, as they explore the making of the film and the event’s historical significance. \nPresented by Smithsonian Associate and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History through the generous support of Dan Manatt and Democracy Films.

DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2020\, weeks after George Floyd’s murder\, The Nantucket Project assembled a diverse team of Americans who traveled the length of the Mississippi River by car stopping in small towns and big cities to host public conversations about race in America. From Minneapolis to New Orleans\, locals from all walks of life came out to join the conversation—young and old\, from diverse racial\, political\, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. The sessions weren’t scripted or staged; participants shared their unvarnished stories of challenge\, pain\, division and opportunity set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and a re-ignited racial reckoning in America. Join the journey by watching the five American Neighbor documentary films.
