SUMMARY:The Story of Ohio's Canals
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Adena Mansion and Gardens for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Tom O’Grady! \n\n\n\nBeginning in 1825\, Ohio began constructing its canal system that eventually included nearly a thousand miles of channel and towpaths laced with stone locks and culverts\, aqueducts\, feeder lakes and slack water ponds. These canals opened up Ohio to world commerce allowing the export of surplus grains and manufactured goods and the import of items made in New York\, London and Paris. Ohio’s canals linked the Great Lakes with the Ohio River and Ohio towns with markets in Chicago\, Buffalo\, and New York City and Pittsburgh\, St. Louis and New Orleans. Canal builders negotiated Ohio’s diverse landscape as they traversed glacial moraines and the Allegheny Plateau. The ‘big ditch’ stitched the settlements of Ohio’s wilderness together and helped make it a player on the world’s stage. \n\n\n\nTom O’Grady sailed as a deck worker on an ore carrier on the Great Lakes aboard a sister-ship of the fated Edmund Fitzgerald\, surveyed for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources\, launched the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in the state of Ohio and has been promoting waste reduction and sustainable economy for thirty years. O’Grady has also been an instructor of Observational Astronomy in the evenings at Ohio University for thirty years. He has spent a good deal of the past twenty-five years as a student of Ohio history researching its geography and settlement\, the mound builders\, Ohio canals\, and several of its interesting characters and their stories. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Marion Voices: CHAMP Community Workshops
DESCRIPTION:In 2024\, Marion Voices is proud to be launching the Cultural Heritage Assets Mapping Project (CHAMP): a participatory\, community effort to map & share our prizes cultural\, arts\, & heritage resources\, to collectively write the blueprint for future culture-sector investments locally\, & across the wider region. Join the Marion Cities and Suburbs session at McKinley Park on June 15th! \n\n\n\nMarion Voices‘ Cultural Heritage Assets Mapping sessions are open to anyone of any age; no previous experience or special expertise in culture\, arts\, or heritage is required. Sessions last for two hours\, with an optional third hour that is a focus group for working community artists\, as an accompaniment to Marion Voices’ Making It: Arts Livelihoods & Arts Economies in Marion County countywide artists’ survey. A stipend pool is available for both segments of the session\, & will be divided by all participants who attend the full session & participate actively. Marion Voices’ values your time & this stipend reflects our enthusiastic acknowledgment that cultural resources planning is valuable labor. \n\n\n\nTogether\, Marion Voices and community members will ask questions like: \n\n\n\n\nWhat important cultural\, arts\, & heritage resources did we used to have in our community; & what happened to them?\n\n\n\nWhat cultural heritage assets in our community are currently threatened; & what would protecting them look like?\n\n\n\nWhat cultural heritage resources or amenities do we not have in our community that other communities do have? What barriers exist to their existence here? What might building them require or look like?\n\n\n\nWhat cultural assets define our sense of place & help make our community & local landscape distinct from other communities?\n\n\n\n\nThese sessions will be held on weekends in June: mostly in open-air\, outdoor park shelterhouse settings for accessibility.

SUMMARY:The Barnbuilders: An Architectural Legacy in Ohio’s Rural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Crown Point Ecology Center with the Bath Township Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Tom O’Grady! \n\n\n\nCulture groups migrating from New England\, Middle Atlantic states and from the South settled in various regions of Ohio\, and their distinct farms and barns can be observed when travelling throughout the state. The barn builders have left an architectural legacy throughout rural Ohio that can help one understand much about the heritage of the region. The geographic distribution of the various barn types is due to routes followed into the state\, geographical influences\, or cultural affinities. In any case\, one can identify regions settled by people of Pennsylvania German descent\, those settled by migrants from the upland south\, or those migrating to Ohio from New England by the type of barns and other buildings on farmsteads remaining on Ohio byways. These artifacts of timber frame construction house the remnants of Ohio’s primeval forests. \n\n\n\nTom O’Grady sailed as a deck worker on an ore carrier on the Great Lakes aboard a sister-ship of the fated Edmund Fitzgerald\, surveyed for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources\, launched the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in the state of Ohio and has been promoting waste reduction and sustainable economy for thirty years. O’Grady has also been an instructor of Observational Astronomy in the evenings at Ohio University for thirty years. He has spent a good deal of the past twenty-five years as a student of Ohio history researching its geography and settlement\, the mound builders\, Ohio canals\, and several of its interesting characters and their stories. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Lincoln School Screening at the Athena Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Humanities’ documentary\, the Lincoln School Story will be screening at the Athena Cinema! \n\n\n\nIn partnership with the Mount Zion Black Cultural Center\, WOUB Public Media is screening the new documentary called THE LINCOLN SCHOOL STORY as part of the kick-off event for Berry Day Week in Athens on May 20 at 5:30 p.m. at the Athena. The production\, created by Ohio Humanities and distributed by WOSU Public Media in Columbus\, follows a group of Black mothers in Southwest Ohio as they heroically fight for school desegregation. \n\n\n\n“There couldn’t be a more perfect film for the opening celebration honoring the Berrys\,” said Mount Zion President Ada-Woodson Adams.  Edward “Ed” and Martha “Mattie” Berry were the owners of the once world-famous Berry Hotel on Court Street.

SUMMARY:Cincinnati's Lost Founders: Opening Event
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Walnut Hills Branch of the Cincinnati Public Library for the opening event of “Cincinnati’s Lost Founders\,” an exhibit created with support from the Harriet Beecher Stowe House and Ohio Humanities. \n\n\n\nSometimes\, important history is easy to find. Large monuments tell us about someone’s brave deeds. A beautifully preserved building shows secrets about the lives of those who walked inside them. At other times\, important history needs some digging.  \n\n\n\n​Mr. James Clark\, a Cincinnati native\, has just such a story to share. You may know Mr. James Clark as the friendly jazz aficionado who hangs out at Caffe Vivace. Mr. Clark also happens to be descended from the Hemings and Fossett families\, enslaved men and women who helped run Thomas Jefferson’s plantation\, Monticello. Once they obtained their freedom\, his ancestors traveled to Cincinnati\, established successful businesses\, participated in the Underground Railroad\, and worked hard to help their community. \n\n\n\nThe Harriet Beecher Stowe House and Walnut Hills Library branch are celebrating the exhibit and Mr. Clark with a jazz show jam session. Vocalist Emily Grace Jordan\, Jordan Pollard on piano\, Matt McCoy on bass\, and Alex Merk on drums will lead the pack. They’ll be playing a variety of jazz standards\, American songbooks\, and Latin and Brazilian tunes. Come by\, bring your instrument\, and jump in. Let’s show some love for Mr. Clark and Caffe Vivace! \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP for the event here. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP for the jam session here. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit was supported in part by an Ohio Humanities Spark Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

SUMMARY:Lincoln School Documentary Airs on WOSU TV
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Humanities’ documentary film The Lincoln School Story airs on WOSU TV in Columbus! \n\n\n\nThe Lincoln School Story examines the little-known fight for school desegregation led by a handful of Ohio mothers and their children in 1954. In the wake of Brown v. Board of Education\, school districts nationwide were mandated to integrate. But when African American mothers in Hillsboro\, Ohio\, tried to enroll their children in the local\, historically white schools\, the school board refused to comply. Five mothers and their children took the school board to court. With Constance Baker Motley as the lead lawyer and help from a fledgling NAACP chapter\, they started one of the nation’s first civil rights marches to end school segregation. While the lawsuit wound through the courts\, the mothers and children marched every day\, in spite of threats\, cross burnings and job losses. They marched in sun\, rain and snow for nearly two years until the mothers won their court case. Their children became the first Black students to attend a high-quality local elementary school. Their judicial victory in the Midwest inspired Black parents in communities across the country. \n\n\n\nIf you want to read more about this story\, visit our Lincoln School Story page. \n\n\n\nIf you’re curious about other Ohio stories\, check out our grant page.
