SUMMARY:Beloved: Ohio Celebrates Toni Morrison -  Virtual Kickoff Event
DESCRIPTION:As part of Ohio’s America 250 celebration\, join Ohio Humanities and Literary Cleveland for the official kickoff of Beloved: Ohio Celebrates Toni Morrison\, a yearlong\, statewide tribute honoring the life\, words\, and legacy of Toni Morrison\, Lorain\, Ohio native and one of the most influential American writers of all time. \n\n\n\nThis special evening launches a historic statewide celebration spanning February 18\, 2026\, through February 18\, 2027\, and features a powerful\, once-in-a-generation conversation between Namwali Serpell and Hanif Abdurraqib—two of today’s most vital literary voices—reflecting on Morrison’s enduring impact on literature\, culture\, and the American story. \n\n\n\nNamwali Serpell\, Harvard professor and author of On Morrison\, brings deep scholarly insight and global perspective to Morrison’s work\, while Hanif Abdurraqib\, New York Times bestselling author of There’s Always This Year\, offers a resonant cultural and poetic lens rooted in Black life\, memory\, and place. Together\, their dialogue will explore why Morrison’s work continues to shape how we understand freedom\, history\, and ourselves. \n\n\n\nThis yearlong initiative recognizes Morrison’s enduring impact on American literature and history. Her novels\, set between 1680 and 2012\, offer a sweeping narrative of America itself. The kickoff marks both Toni Morrison Day in Ohio and the beginning of a collective\, statewide exploration of her work and influence. \n\n\n\nThis virtual kickoff marks the beginning of a yearlong series of programs\, readings\, performances\, and conversations taking place across Ohio. \n\n\n\nThis event will be livestreamed.

SUMMARY:New Perspectives on the Northwest Ordinance
DESCRIPTION:The Ohio State University is proud to collaborate with the America 250-Ohio Commission to host a two-day conference\, January 30-31\, 2026\, focused on New Perspectives on the Northwest Ordinance. Ohio was the first state to emerge from the Northwest Ordinance\, adopted in 1787 by the Continental Congress\, at the same time the U.S. Constitution was being deliberated. The Northwest Ordinance is a founding document that is often overlooked despite its significant impact in shaping the future United States\, especially what would later be called the American Midwest. The nation’s 250 anniversary in 2026 gives Americans a great opportunity to rediscover the lessons and ideals that came from the Northwest Ordinance and learn new perspectives from scholars\, educators and practitioners from the Midwest and beyond. \n\n\n\nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:The History of Travel in America
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Marvin Memorial Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Mark Holbrook about the history of travel! \n\n\n\nNot so long ago few people traveled far from home. Vacations and travel for leisure were either unaffordable or impractical. The industrial age\, new technologies and shifting perspectives on work and leisure changed all of that in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We’ll explore those changes and the impact a traveling population on or economy and culture. \n\n\n\nMark Holbrook is currently the executive director for the Marion Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. Prior to that\, Mark served as the marketing manager at the Ohio History Connection for nine years and has been a consultant for tourism and history-based organizations for 12 years. He is a native Ohioan\, graduate of The Ohio State University (BA in Communications) and an avid student of history. \n\n\n\nMark is the editor of the The Buckeye Vanguard about the 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Mark recently retired from a 20-year career as a Civil War reenactor\, serving as a Union officer throughout the country at such places as Gettysburg\, Chattanooga\, Richmond and Shiloh. Mark also served as military coordinator for the film Light of Freedom released in the fall of 2013 and had a supporting role in the 2015 film Wings of the Wind. Mark served on the Civil War Sesquicentennial Advisory Committee for the state of Ohio and has appeared in several television history-themed television programs. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Moving Off the Farm and Trying to Stay Amish
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Marvin Memorial Library for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Susan Trollinger about Amish culture in Ohio! \n\n\n\nBy now most Americans likely know something about Amish life—that the Amish depend on horse and buggy for transportation\, that they do not plug into the electrical grid\, that their cuisine is delicious\, and that they live according to a much slower pace of life than most Americans do. What many people do not know is that Amish life is changing in some very significant ways due economic pressures that have pushed them off the farm. In the course of this presentation\, we will look at what Amish life has been like for the better part of a century in the US and how it is changing now as a result of what has been called “the Amish industrial revolution.” We will explore these changes and ask the question—can the Amish remain Amish? \n\n\n\nSusan Trollinger is professor of English at the University of Dayton where she teaches courses on writing and rhetoric. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Master’s and PhD in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of Pittsburgh. Her first book\, Selling the Amish: The Tourism of Nostalgia (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2012)\, explores Amish Country tourism especially in eastern Ohio. In her more than ten years of research for the book\, she learned a great deal about Amish culture and its significance for all who are not Amish\, which she enjoys sharing with others. Her second book\, titled Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016) and co-authored with her husband\, William Vance Trollinger\, Jr.\, provides a close reading of the arguments and appeals at the Creation Museum in Petersburg\, Kentucky as well as situates those arguments and appeals within the long history of Protestant fundamentalism in the US. She has been interviewed in a number of media outlets including CSpan-2’s BookTV\, RadioWest\, the Washington Post\, and GQ. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:May 4th Voices: Speaking Through the Wound of the Kent State Shootings
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Tremont Road Branch of the Upper Arlington Public Library for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with David Hassler about the Kent State Shootings. \n\n\n\nOn May 4\, 1970\, four students were killed and nine injured on the campus of Kent State University by Ohio National Guard during a Vietnam War protest. Nearly forty years later\, David scripted a play\, May 4th Voices\, based on the ongoing Kent State Shootings Oral History Project. This talk includes readings of excerpts from the play and discussion about the process of writing and staging; as well as  the power of testimony in the oral history archives\, which includes over 110 interviews that document first-person narratives and personal reactions to the events of May 4\, 1970. \n\n\n\nKent State carries the symbolic wound of the Vietnam War and the protest movement in this country\, along with the tragedy ten days later at Jackson State in which two African American students were killed and twelve others wounded in a similar anti-war protest. Engaging any community in the healing process of creating art and providing venues for the public to witness has the power to heal. If\, as the 14th century Persian poet Rumi says\, “the medicine is in the wound\,” then May 4th Voices is an attempt to speak directly through the wound of Kent State and this cultural period\, to move beyond a polarizing silence\, and to create a space – like the ritual space of theatre – in which we might listen and respond to each other. \n\n\n\nDavid Hassler is the Director of the Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University and is the author of Growing Season: The Life of a Migrant Community. \n\n\n\nPlease register ahead of time for the event here. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Statues\, Flags\, and the Ongoing Battle over the Meaning of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Cleo Redd Fisher Museum for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with William Trollinger about how statues are used to interpret the history of the Civil War! \n\n\n\nThe 2015 mass shooting in Charleston and now the recent events in Charlottesville have added fuel to the intense and sometimes heated debate in contemporary America about Confederate monuments and flags. What sometimes gets lost in this debate is that monuments and flags are not history themselves\, but are commemorations of a particular interpretation of history. This is particularly true in this case. Most Confederate monuments were not constructed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War\, but\, instead\, were put up as part of the effort to create a “Jim Crow” South that rendered African Americans politically invisible and powerless. And the revival of Confederate flags was part and parcel of the mid-twentieth-century white resistance to the Civil Rights movement. In effect\, the Confederate monuments and flags – and the fierce defense of both – are manifestations of the fact that the South lost the Civil War but won the writing of history. And the current opposition to Confederate monuments and flags grows out of a very deep desire to tell a new and more accurate story about our past. \n\n\n\nWilliam Trollinger is professor of history in the History and Religious Studies Departments at the University of Dayton. He is also director of UD’s Core Integrated Studies Program\, which features an innovative\, five-semester interdisciplinary curriculum. He earned his B.A. in English and History from Bethel College (MN) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research has focused on 20th/21st-century American Protestantism\, particularly fundamentalism\, creationism\, and Protestant print culture. His publications include God’s Empire: William Bell Riley and Midwestern Fundamentalism (University of Wisconsin Press\, 1990) and Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016)\, the latter which he co-authored with his wife\, Susan Trollinger. He has also done a good deal of research on the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920s; one result of this work is “Hearing the Silence: The University of Dayton\, the Ku Klux Klan\, and Catholic Universities and Colleges” (American Catholic Studies\, Spring 2013)\, for which he won the 2014 Catholic Press Award for Best Essay in a Scholarly Magazine. He enjoys speaking on the 1920s Ohio Ku Klux Klan. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau? Check out speakers and topics here. \n\n\n\nWant to see other Ohio Humanities events?

SUMMARY:The Woman Detective in Pop Culture
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Stark County Main Library for an Ohio Humanities Speakers Bureau event with Linda Mizejewski about women detectives! \n\n\n\nGenerations of readers have enjoyed Nancy Drew\, Miss Marple\, and legions of spunky amateur female sleuths who picked up a flashlight to creep through the attic. But the 1980s brought a new heroine to the best seller list: the professional woman detective who gets her man with an arrest warrant or a bullet to the heart.  This talk explores this new woman detective character and her bumpy transition to the box office and network television\, where grit has often been traded for glamour.  Topics include best selling writers Sue Grafton and Patricia Cornwell\, television series from Charlie’s Angels to Cold Case\, and films such as The Silence of the Lambs. \n\n\n\nLinda Mizejewski is a Distinguished Professor of Women’s\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at the Ohio State University. She has published six books on women in popular culture\, including a book about the romantic comedy It Happened One Night. In her 2002 book Hardboiled and High Heeled: the Woman Detective in Popular Culture\,she analyzes the female investigator character in cinema\, television\, and best-selling novels.  Her most recent two books are Hysterical! Women in American Comedy (2017) and Pretty/Funny: Women Comedians and Body Politics (2014).  Linda has been a Fulbright Lecturer in Slovakia and Romania\, and her research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies. In 2004 she was a winner of Ohio State University’s Alumni Distinguished Teaching Award. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Rebels in Corsets: The Embodied Rhetoric of the Women’s Suffrage Movement
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Northwest Territory Museum for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Susan Trollinger about the Women’s Suffrage Movement! \n\n\n\nThe story of the women’s suffrage movement is often told (even by US historians) as a peaceful transition by which white male politicians happily gave women the right to vote. This could not be further from the truth. The movement for women’s suffrage was a 72-year struggle that demanded a great deal from women emotionally\, politically\, and physically. This lecture looks at what it was like to be a woman in the 19th century with little power to change her circumstances because she did not have access to the ballot box\, how it was that women became convinced in the 1840s that it was time to take on that struggle\, and how they finally won it through rhetorical strategies that might not look radical to us now but then appeared so radical as to have been called “disgusting.” \n\n\n\nSusan Trollinger is professor of English at the University of Dayton where she teaches courses on writing and rhetoric. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and her Master’s and PhD in Rhetoric and Communication from the University of Pittsburgh. Her first book\, Selling the Amish: The Tourism of Nostalgia (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2012)\, explores Amish Country tourism especially in eastern Ohio. In her more than ten years of research for the book\, she learned a great deal about Amish culture and its significance for all who are not Amish\, which she enjoys sharing with others. Her second book\, titled Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016) and co-authored with her husband\, William Vance Trollinger\, Jr.\, provides a close reading of the arguments and appeals at the Creation Museum in Petersburg\, Kentucky as well as situates those arguments and appeals within the long history of Protestant fundamentalism in the US. She has been interviewed in a number of media outlets including CSpan-2’s BookTV\, RadioWest\, the Washington Post\, and GQ. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?
