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: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:Student Advocacy Guide
DESCRIPTION:No matter your age or experience\, if you’re a young person who cares about an issue in your community\, this advocacy guide is for you. \nMaybe you’ve never done advocacy before. Maybe you’ve never seen anyone who looks like you speak up where you live. That means it’s even more important to get involved. If something feels wrong to you\, chances are others feel the same way. And\, if another student sees you speak up\, they might do the same. You might feel alone—at first—but you won’t be advocating alone. You have friends\, family\, your teachers. \nMost importantly: You are an expert. You’re an expert on what it’s like to be a student in your community\, on what’s working well in your education\, and what isn’t. That’s all the expertise you need. This guide is designed to help you use that expertise to make change.

SUMMARY:History Film Forum: Questlove's Summer of Soul Screening
DESCRIPTION:The History Film Forum is an online series from the Smithsonian that explores history on the screen and the evolution of film as public history. \nThe Harlem Cultural Festival took place the same summer as Woodstock and boasted an attendance on a par with that event 100 miles away. More than 300\,000 people filled Mount Morris Park for six weeks of extraordinary performances by artists including Stevie Wonder\, Sly and the Family Stone\, Nina Simone\, B.B. King\, the Staple Singers\, the 5th Dimension\, David Ruffin\, Mahalia Jackson\, and Gladys Knight and the Pips. \nDespite the stellar lineup\, the 1969 music event received little mainstream media coverage\, and 40 hours of performance footage shot by the late television pioneer Hal Tulchin remained in storage for 50 years. \nThat long-unseen material has been transformed into the feature documentary Summer of Soul (…Or\, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)\, the directorial debut of musician\, songwriter\, author\, and five-time GRAMMY Award recipient Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson. Join a conversation with Thompson and producers Joseph Patel\, Robert Fyvolent\, and David Dinerstein\, and moderated by Fath Davis Ruffins\, a curator at the Smithsonian American History Museum\, as they explore the making of the film and the event’s historical significance. \nPresented by Smithsonian Associate and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History through the generous support of Dan Manatt and Democracy Films.

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.

SUMMARY:Civic Empathy Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:As part of the History Center’s pilot Civic Empathy Project\, History Center staff worked with 15 of its Affiliates Program sites to develop exhibitions that prioritize building empathy and taking action to further civic engagement. Each site identified a relevant story from their community’s history and developed a small exhibit that demonstrates how civic action brought about positive change. The sites then linked that story to a current need in their community. By highlighting actions that address that need\, they connected history to civic action\, providing a way for visitors to make a difference in their communities. \nLearn how these calls to action\, rooted in historic precedent\, demonstrate how change for the collective good can be made by active\, informed\, empathetic citizens.

SUMMARY:Watch "American Neighbor Films: Race in America"
DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2020\, weeks after George Floyd’s murder\, The Nantucket Project assembled a diverse team of Americans who traveled the length of the Mississippi River by car stopping in small towns and big cities to host public conversations about race in America. From Minneapolis to New Orleans\, locals from all walks of life came out to join the conversation—young and old\, from diverse racial\, political\, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. The sessions weren’t scripted or staged; participants shared their unvarnished stories of challenge\, pain\, division and opportunity set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic and a re-ignited racial reckoning in America. Join the journey by watching the five American Neighbor documentary films.
