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.

SUMMARY:Watch "American Neighbor Films: Race in America"
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.

SUMMARY:No Playbook - School Integration During Massive Resistance
DESCRIPTION:The story of Virginia’s Massive Resistance to Brown v. Board has been told many times. Most of those treatments focus on the political\, legal\, and educational aspects of desegregation. Often lost in these histories are the personal experiences of those whose lives were most immediately affected—the young people who were the first to cross previously enforced boundaries and charted new social norms. \nAs recently as the 1960s\, most schools in the American South were racially segregated. Resistance to school desegregation in Charlottesville and Albemarle County\, Virginia\, continued for at least a decade more. During that time\, it was not just classrooms that were changing; it was sports teams\, school hallways\, and communities as a whole. The oral histories of dozens of former students\, many of them athletes\, offer first-hand reflections of what it was like during those years of unprecedented change. How did desegregation actually take place when “there was no playbook?” Find out from those who lived it.

SUMMARY:Encountering the First American West
DESCRIPTION:With support from the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the Filson Historical Society is excited to announce the re-launch of the First American West\, an online collection of letters\, financial records\, maps\, and objects relating to the Ohio River Valley in the mid-1700s through the early 1800s. Originally a collaboration with the Library of Congress and the University of Chicago\, “The First American West: The Ohio River Valley\, 1750-1820 (FAW)” was an early digitization project that launched in 2000. While it was an early standard bearer for digital history\, it became unavailable in 2016 when the Library of Congress ended support for the project. \nIn our relaunch\, an NEH-funded research team has expanded the project to highlight the experiences of those originally excluded\, including the voices of women\, those enslaved\, and the Indigenous communities that called our region home. \nWe’re so excited to share this digital project with you\, and we invite you to explore!
