SUMMARY:Online Exhibition "Chez Baldwin: An Exploration of the Life and Works of James Baldwin"
DESCRIPTION:Chez Baldwin is a digital exhibition that explores James Baldwin’s life and works through the lens of his house in St. Paul de Vence\, France\, where he resided the last seventeen years of his life. Photographs of the interior and exterior of the house\, a medieval villa\, grace the pages of the section titled “Power of Place.” For Baldwin\, his home in St. Paul was an enormously powerful place for writing\, healing\, and gathering. \nThe exhibition’s core also includes four additional stories that provide an introduction to Baldwin\, insight into his international travels as well as details about his civil rights activism\, and an overview of his literary career. Images of collection objects acquired from the house are integral to Chez Baldwin. \nAlso featured is a Learning Lab for teachers where a Baldwin literary achievements timeline\, a listing of resources\, links to NMAAHC public programs about Baldwin\, and notes by authors who have recently written about Baldwin’s life in St. Paul can be found.

SUMMARY:History Film Forum: My Name is Pauli Murray
DESCRIPTION:Pioneering attorney\, activist\, poet\, and Episcopal priest Pauli Murray was an incredibly influential figure of the 20th century who has largely been forgotten by history. Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat\, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation; Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice. Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness— around race and gender equity. As an African American youth raised in the segregated South—who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity—Pauli understood\, intrinsically\, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms. Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words\, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey. \nJoin Academy Award-nominated directors (RBG) Julie Cohen and Betsy West in a conversation with National American History Museum curator Fath Davis Ruffins as they explore the making of the film and why “you can’t teach American History without Pauli Murray.” \nPresented by the Smithsonian Associates and Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History through generous support of Dan Manatt. \nWe also wish to thank Participant and Amazon Studios for their collaboration on this program.

SUMMARY:Reform Movements in America
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress\, asks how can citizens of a country affect change for the common good? The French commentator on American society in the 1830s\, Alexis de Toqueville\, observed that Americans are very quick to join together to promote whatever causes they favor\, and there was certainly evidence around him. Reforms on many issues — temperance\, abolition\, prison reform\, women’s rights\, missionary work in the West — fomented groups dedicated to social improvements. \nStudents will reflect on the following questions:\nWhat factors motivated antebellum reformers to take action?\nWhat were the common strategies antebellum reformers used?\nWhat did antebellum reformers achieve?

SUMMARY:Women's Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:A resource developed in partnership with the Library of Congress asks\, “why did it take so long for women to get the right to vote?” Sex and gender are two different concepts. Sex refers to biological differences while gender relates to the roles and expectations culture assigns to each group. Every culture struggles with adjusting the roles of men and women to secure a just and harmonious society. Several factors like religion\, science\, tradition and technology influence gender roles. By tradition\, men had near exclusive domination of politics in the United States\, but that began to change in the 19th century with increasing urbanization\, educational opportunities for women and changes in home responsibilities. \nReflect on the following questions:\nWhat attitudes about their gender and expected role in society did women need to overcome to gain the right to vote?\nWhat tactics did suffragists use to convince society they deserved the right to vote?\nWhat impact did the 19th Amendment have on women and their government?
