SUMMARY:Freedom on Paper: An Exhibition of “Free Negro Registers” from the Virginia Untold Project
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Juneteenth\, the holiday that commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States\, visitors to the Library of Virginia will have the rare opportunity to view a selection of “Free Negro Registers” displayed in the lobby and to learn about the Library’s efforts to digitize\, preserve\, and make them more accessible.

The Virginia Untold project provides digital access to collections from Virginia localities relating to enslaved and free Black individuals prior to 1866. \nThe exhibition of records runs through Monday\, June 27\, 2022. \n\n

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.

SUMMARY:Fresh Talk: Sarah Lewis--Vision and Justice
DESCRIPTION:Explore photography as a catalyst for social change. \nAs the first guest editor in Aperture magazine’s 64-year history\, Sarah Lewis defined the relationship between what we see (vision) and what we fix (justice) in the landmark 2016 “Vision & Justice” issue. By turning the pages of the magazine into a primary source for exploring visual literacy\, citizenship\, and representational justice\, Lewis positioned photography as a catalyst for social change. \nExplore these questions and more: In our image-driven society\, is visual literacy a necessary tool to citizenship? Does photography have the power to correct age-old narratives used to justify injustice? What is the role of the photojournalist or fine art photographer today? \nSpeakers include Sarah Lewis\, bestselling author\, curator\, and Harvard professor\, and moderator Rhea Combs\, curator of film and photography\, and director of the Center for African American Media Arts at National Museum of African American History and Culture.

SUMMARY:Self-Advocacy and U.S. Disability History
DESCRIPTION:In this article\, meet two women fighting for the right for people with disabilities — including themselves — to self-determination. In other words\, for the right to decide how they will live and the resources needed\, instead of these decisions being made by others. While there have been improvements\, this fight continues today. \nAmerica250 is a multi-year effort to commemorate the semiquincentennial\, or 250th anniversary\, of the United States. The purpose of the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission\, created by Congress\, and the corresponding America250 Foundation\, is to catalyze a more perfect union by designing and leading the most comprehensive and inclusive celebration in our country’s history. America250 represents a coalition of public and private partners all working to create initiatives and programs that honor our first 250 years and inspire Americans to imagine our next 250.

SUMMARY:Cecelia Larrison: A story of Self-Liberation from Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Cecelia Larrison is one of many people who liberated themselves from slavery long before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. In 1846\, at age 15\, while on a trip to Niagara Falls with her enslavers\, the Thruston family of Louisville\, Kentucky\, Cecelia slipped away and crossed the border into Canada. \nThroughout her years as a free woman\, Cecelia faced many joys and hardships. The details of her life\, like those of many formerly enslaved people\, could have been lost to history. But fortunately\, we have significant documentation of Cecelia’s movements and struggles\, much of it coming from an unlikely source: a woman who was once her enslaver\, her childhood playmate\, and perhaps even her friend. \nAfter her liberation\, Cecelia started a nearly decade-long correspondence with her former “mistress\,” Frances “Fanny” Thruston. This online exhibit uses some of these letters to tell the story of Cecelia’s life after slavery.

SUMMARY:Warning Signs Videos about Lincoln\, Threats to Democracy\, and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Warning Signs: Lincoln’s Response to Rising Tensions in the 1850s features four short films that help us understand our present reality. \nExplore different perspectives about an extremely polarized moment in U.S. history and what it reveals about maintaining a healthy democracy today. \nThe films feature three dynamic experts who focus on how polarization before the Civil War affects our current civic lives. \nTogether\, four professors describe Lincoln’s struggle with the morality of slavery and its westward expansion\, the increasingly irreversible political divide\, the character of the Constitution itself\, and the ultimate value and meaning of human equality. \nAfter describing Lincoln’s views on the Constitution\, they tackle questions like: “What does it mean to be a self-governing people? What are the sorts of things we need to think alike about\, where we can differ on policy\, but what are some building blocks of democracy and republicanism and self-government that we need to all share in order to get along?” \nDr. Lucas Morel: \n“For a republic to be viable\, for a republic to last\, for a republic to perpetuate itself\, it has to produce election after election after election. Good winners. And good losers.” \nLearn how Lincoln grappled with the unprecedented crisis facing the republic\, his views on self-government\, and how he saw progress inspired by the Declaration of Independence but bound by the Constitution. \nThe resources are available to the public free of charge and include Spanish-language closed-captions.
