SUMMARY:Last Call: Beer Futures
DESCRIPTION:With more than 8\,000 breweries\, the United States is home to the most dynamic and creative small brewing industry in the world. Yet as the industry grew\, many were excluded from its ranks. Today’s brewers face threats associated with the pandemic\, the brewing supply chain\, and climate change. What lies ahead? The future of American beer must be inclusive. It must be environmentally sustainable. It will be even more creative than its past. And it promises flavors and styles that have not yet been imagined. Join us for a conversation among several innovators who are imagining—and creating—new futures for American beer\, from grain and flower to glass.

SUMMARY:The Fire of a Movement: The Future of America's Past
DESCRIPTION:What lessons might we learn from the stories of the families of the victims\, survivors\, and witnesses of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire?\nThe Triangle Shirtwaist Fire prompted many legislative and workplace-related reforms that still help keep workers safe. But there is also the human side of the story which\, like most tragedies\, can often get lost in media coverage that follows political or social unrest. Instead\, these stories are remembered by the friends and family of the victims and are an important part of history.

SUMMARY:The Senate and Women's Fight for the Vote
DESCRIPTION:In 1878 Senator Aaron Sargent became the first member of Congress to formally propose a constitutional amendment specifically to extend voting rights to women. The Senate never voted on Sargent’s proposal\, but the idea and the suffragists who supported it persisted. Senators—some of them working closely with activists—continued to debate women’s political rights over the next four decades as suffrage lobbyists ramped up pressure on members of Congress. After several failed attempts\, the Senate finally approved a constitutional amendment for woman suffrage on June 4\, 1919. Ratified in 1920\, the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution includes only 39 words\, two sentences that represent the work of generations of activists and a dedicated group of congressional reformers.

SUMMARY:RECLAMATION
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) presents RECLAMATION: Recipes\, Remedies\, and Rituals\, a new participatory exhibition featuring nine interdisciplinary artists. Conceived as a virtual experience that recontextualizes the traditional role of women in providing sustenance and healing\, RECLAMATION also features content submitted by the public\, interwoven with the artists’ work. \nRECLAMATION is an evolving exhibition and ingredient archive that examines food as a creative medium for visual art and a connective tool for exploring intergenerational and intercultural experiences. \nThe exhibition centers around a kitchen table\, the central domestic object for gatherings of family and friends. Nine artists will activate their own kitchen tables\, sharing photographs\, videos and stories about how they use this domestic object. These intimate glimpses into the artists’ homes simultaneously reveal a work of art and the process by which it is made. \nThrough a digital ingredient archive\, developed in partnership with the Family Arts Museum and Ten-Fifteen Media\, online visitors can participate in the exhibition by sharing recipes\, anecdotes\, photos and reflections related to food. Submissions will be layered with the artists’ work\, creating a dynamic portal for exploring the interconnectedness of food and the communal nature of nourishing and curing the body. In this way\, both artists and viewers will use those materials to honor women’s roles in the practices and traditions surrounding food. \nThe exhibition also features interviews and content from the Curative Collective\, a group of partners that focus on food—from advocacy and social justice work\, to healing and restorative self-care. These organizations help ensure that the exhibition reflects and serves their communities while sharing their arts and social change resources with NMWA’s audience. Examples of Curative Collective organizations are Black Magick Sisters\, Dreaming Out Loud\, Mutual Aid Apothecary\, and STRŌB Apothecary\, among others.

SUMMARY:Why Juneteenth? Remembrance and Reflection
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth also known as Freedom Day and Emancipation Day\, is Friday\, June 19\, a holiday that is arguably as important to our nation as the Fourth of July\, since it commemorates the day in 1865 when enslaved people of Texas\, then the most remote region of the Confederacy\, finally learned slavery had been abolished and that they were free. \n\n\n\nThe Center for Lincoln Studies at the University of Illinois will be hosting a panel discussion that addresses the big questions: \n\n\n\nWhat is Juneteenth? Why should we remember it? How was it celebrated in the past? How is it celebrated now? \n\n\n\nJoin us as we remember and reflect Juneteenth\, in honor of one of the final acts of emancipation of slaves in the U.S. \n\n\n\nAfter the program we will have a question and answer session with our panelists. \n\n\n\nPanelists:Ken Page\, President of the ACLU Illinois Springfield Chapter and former president of the Springfield NAACP chapterCherena Douglass\, fundraising chair for the Faith Coalition for the Common Good.Dr. Tiffani Saunders\, Instructor of Sociology and African American Studies at the University of Illinois at Springfield. \n\n\n\nKathryn Harris\, first African American and first woman to serve as the President of the Abraham Lincoln Association and currently serves on the ALPLM Board.  \n\n\n\nJune 17th\, 12pm
