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.

SUMMARY:National Museum of Women in the Arts Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a dynamic live reading of Saida Agostini’s poetry collection STUNT (2020)\, a reimagining of the life of Nellie Jackson\, an early twentieth century brothel owner\, freedom fighter\, and entrepreneur. \nLiterary maven Lisa Pegram will lead the reading\, which will also feature Agostini and performing artists Holly Bass\, Dehejia Maat\, Maryam Fatima Foye\, and Melani Douglass. The reading will be followed by a conversation with the author about the book and its themes\, and then a Q&A session. Images from NMWA’s collection that represent themes from STUNT will also be interspersed throughout the program. \nThis book discussion series\, presented by the museum‘s public programs and Betty Boyd Dettre Library and Research Center teams. \nAbout STUNT:\nWhat does it mean to know the interior lives of Black women? STUNT imagines scenes from the life of Nellie Jackson. Born in 1902\, Miss Nellie ran a brothel in Natchez\, Mississippi for sixty years until her death in 1990. A freedom fighter and entrepreneur who spied on the KKK and supported civil rights activists\, Nellie Jackson is a legend that troubles our notions of Black narratives and histories. By turns jubilant\, sensual and violent\, STUNT imagines Nellie as a woman who revels in her Blackness\, power and creation.
