SUMMARY:Resistance at Home Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Artwork created by youth\, for youth\, Resistance At Home is the culminating exhibition of artwork created by YouthCAN artists meditating on meanings of home and collective struggle. \nExplore identity and culture through art with the limited time exhibit at Wing Luke Museum. With a wide lens\, Resistance at Home seeks to uncover the ways in which we resist the US empire’s white supremacy\, queerphobia\, patriarchy\, and racial capitalism while situated in the belly of the beast. On a personal level\, Resistance at Home explores how we can take action in our own lives\, interrogate notions of home\, and recognize the personal as political. \nFrom Filipino labor organizing in the 20th century to contemporary gentrification in the Chinatown International District (CID)\, students explored the varied histories of Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) resistance. \nYouthCAN is the Wing Luke Museum’s free art program for anyone aged 13-19 of all levels of artistic experience.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Secretaries: 175 Years of Challenges and Achievements
DESCRIPTION:In its 175-year history\, the Smithsonian Institution has had just 14 secretaries. Who were these men (yes\, all were men) and how did they interpret founder James Smithson’s mandate for the increase and diffusion of knowledge? What challenges have they had to overcome or accept? \nHistorian Pamela Henson of Smithsonian Libraries and Archives\, who specializes in the Smithsonian’s institutional history\, focuses on five leaders who have left the largest imprints. \nIn 1846\, Joseph Henry\, a Princeton physics professor\, was elected the institution’s first secretary. He held the post for 32 years—the longest of any Smithsonian leader. Notable achievements of Spencer Baird (1878–1887) include the creation of the U.S. National Museum\, Astrophysical Observatory\, and the National Zoo. Alexander Wetmore (1945–1954) guided the institution through World War II and brought in the National Air and Space Museum and Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. S. Dillon Ripley (1964–1984) added new museums\, new research institutes\, and cultural heritage centers\, some far from Washington\, D.C.\, and changed the composition of the staff to include women and minorities in positions of authority. (Ripley can also be thanked for the creation of the Smithsonian Associates.) \nHenson concludes with a look at Lonnie G. Bunch III\, the current—and first African American—secretary\, and how he is shaping the future of the institution\, which holds two new museums: the National Museum of the American Latino and the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. \nJoin Henson as she traces the stories of these leaders\, who guided the Smithsonian’s growth from its beginnings in the Castle to its present international scope encompassing 21 museums with holdings of 155 million objects\, a world-class zoo\, 8 research institutes\, 3 cultural centers\, and an ever-expanding educational mission.

SUMMARY:North Carolina Special Edition: Durham Royal Ice Cream Parlor Sit-In
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mrs. Mary Clyburn Hooks and Ms. Virginia Williams \nOn June 23\, 1957\, Rev. Douglas Moore of Asbury Temple Methodist Church led six young African Americans into Durham’s segregated Royal Ice Cream Parlor. The group entered the “Colored” entrance at the back of the restaurant and proceeded to the White section\, where they sat down and ordered ice cream. Denied service\, the protestors refused to leave. They were arrested and fined $10\, plus court fees. The Royal Ice Cream sit-in provoked controversy in not only the White community; it created a huge uproar among Black citizens\, many of whose members viewed the protesters not as freedom fighters but as troublemakers. Although the sit-in did not receive a lot of support\, it did help inspire future protests\, including the Greensboro F. W. Woolworth store lunch-counter sit-ins. Join us on the 65th anniversary of the Royal Ice Cream Parlor sit-in\, as two of the protestors share their memories of that historic day. \nMary Clyburn Hooks is a native of Monroe\, North Carolina. As a young woman\, she moved to Durham\, hoping to acquire an education and work in a more progressive town. After participating in the sit-in\, Hooks married and started a family. She attended North Carolina College at Durham (now North Carolina Central University)\, before settling in New Jersey. Virginia Williams came to Durham from her home in rural Northampton County\, seeking employment. After attending a political meeting\, the two young women felt compelled to take part in the upcoming protest. Following the events at the Royal Ice Cream Parlor\, Williams participated in other Durham demonstrations. She retired from a long career in food services and still resides in Durham.

SUMMARY:Presidents in Pop Culture: Reverence\, Respect\, Ridicule
DESCRIPTION:Every president is the central player in the drama called America\, and it’s increasingly crucial for presidents to generate a positive image in popular culture. But the respect and even reverence that once surrounded the presidency have seriously eroded\, replaced by skepticism\, cynicism\, and often ridicule\, making governing all the more difficult. \nVeteran White House correspondent\, historian\, and author Ken Walsh presents an overview of how the presidency and presidents\, both real and fictional\, are portrayed in the movies\, news media\, social media\, and on television entertainment programs such as “Saturday Night Live\,” late-night talk shows\, and “The West Wing.” \nWalsh looks at how the presidents who are portrayed the most positively in popular culture—who participate in and understand it—sometimes can bond strongly with the public and are the most effective leaders. Of course\, some fail\, and he also turns his eye to them. Among the presidents in the pop culture spotlight are Franklin D. Roosevelt\, John F. Kennedy\, Richard Nixon\, Ronald Reagan\, Bill Clinton\, George W. Bush\, Barack Obama\, Donald Trump\, and Joe Biden.
