SUMMARY:Haunted Halloween History
DESCRIPTION:Halloween was introduced to the United States by Irish and Scottish immigrants in the mid-1800s. Read here how it became the very American holiday we think of today\, including how railroads and telegraphs changed it\, and about the woman who invented “trick or treat.” This article includes an activity for kids to write a Halloween story and design a costume. \nReading Level: Grade 8 \nAmerica250 is a multi-year effort to commemorate the semiquincentennial\, or 250th anniversary\, of the United States.

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

SUMMARY:Watch the National Youth Summit on Japanese American Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, the United States government forcibly removed over 120\,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific Coast. These individuals\, two-thirds of them U.S. citizens\, were sent to ten camps built throughout the western interior of the United States. Many would spend the next three years living under armed guard\, behind barbed wire. In this webcast\, the panelists explored this period in American history and considered how fear and prejudice can upset the delicate balance between the rights of citizens and the power of the state.

SUMMARY:QueerSpace - an AirSpace limited series
DESCRIPTION:Attention passengers\, we’re welcoming all boarding groups for QueerSpace — a limited series from the creators of AirSpace featuring stories and people at the intersection of aviation\, space\, and LGBTQ+ history and culture. The AirSpace podcast explores how flight impacts our lives — from newsworthy discoveries that expand our understanding of the universe to the history of that airline safety video you watch every time you fly. For QueerSpace\, we’re highlighting how queer culture has shaped what aerospace is and can be — from the building of a supportive and welcoming community of flight attendants in the 1970s to the imagined worlds of sci-fi challenging our binary perceptions. Any of these stories would be at home in a regular AirSpace season\, but we’re putting them together in a limited series to highlight the scope and diversity of queer experiences found across human flight and space science.
