SUMMARY:The Barnbuilders: An Architectural Legacy in Ohio’s Rural Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Brunswick Area 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.

SUMMARY:The Newark Earthworks: One of the World's Ancient Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Old Worthington Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper! \n\n\n\nThe Newark Earthworks are the largest set of geometric enclosures and mounds in the world. The work of the Hopewell people who lived in Ohio circa A.D. 1-  400\, these geometric earthworks covered nearly five square miles\, using more than seven million cubic feet of earth. Why did the Hopewell build such monumental works?

SUMMARY:Movie Premier: Family White Elephants
DESCRIPTION:Columbus-based artist Mary Jo Bole’s first feature film\, Family White Elephants\, explores her family’s history in Cleveland through their eccentric family archive. \n\n\n\nArtist and director Mary Jo Bole’s documentary explores the two sides of her family tree\, a trove of inherited possessions\, and a preoccupation with death\, all of which have informed her artistic practice. Bole takes a historian’s interest in her family’s storied genealogy\, which includes industrial titans like Carnegie and Rockefeller on one side and Eastern European immigrants on the other. She pieces together their stories through a collection of inherited photographs\, newspaper articles\, and other ephemera as well as interviews with her mother\, Ruth\, recorded before her passing.  \n\n\n\nPreserved and handed down by a lineage of women\, Bole’s eccentric family archive documents the Industrial Revolution and offers a familial front row seat to the Gilded Age of Cleveland and its demise. As she reconciles the weight of these excessive family possessions\, Bole offers a parallel history of her own artistic practice\, which has been influenced by this archive and her upbringing in post-industrial Cleveland.  \n\n\n\nBole was a longtime professor in Ohio State’s Department of Art. She was awarded an Ohio Humanities Film Fellowship through the Wexner Center\, and she received post-production support in the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Studio for Family White Elephants. \n\n\n\nThe Wex is excited to partner with the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA)\, Drexel Theatre\, Gateway Film Center\, Grandview Theater & Drafthouse\, McConnell Arts Center\, and Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse in presenting this event. Check out the rest of the Cinema Columbus Film Festival schedule. \n\n\n\nYou can also read more about some of the film fellows in our Lumen magazine or in this post.

SUMMARY:Florida Humanities: Separate Is Not Equal: St. Petersburg Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Throughout April\, the Florida Press Educational Services will host community conversations across the state to discuss the lasting impact of Brown v. Board of Education. These programs are funded with a Florida Humanities Strategic Partnership Grant. \n\n\n\nFlorida Press Educational Services\, the Tampa Bay Times Newspaper in Education program\, Community Tampa Bay\, and Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg present a community discussion on the history and continuing impact of Brown v. Board of Education in the Sunshine State. \n\n\n\nBrown v. Board of Education was one of the most pivotal court cases ever decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. On May 17\, 1954\, Chief Justice Earl Warren delivered the unanimous decision of the Court\, stating that\, “We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of separate but equal has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” This landmark decision began the long battle toward school integration in Florida and nationwide. \n\n\n\nDoors open at 5:30 pm\, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A. Featured panelists will include Dr. Raymond Arsenault\, John Hope Franklin Professor of Southern History\, University of South Florida\, St. Petersburg; Fred Hearns\, Curator of Black History\, Tampa Bay History Center; and Chloe Coney\, CEO of Community Enterprise Group\, LLC. \n\n\n\nThere is no charge to attend this event\, but registration is required. Please register here. \n\n\n\nIn addition to our own Brown @ 70 program\, Ohio Humanities is excited to share events from our partners and other state humanities councils to celebrate this landmark decision!
