SUMMARY:Lincoln School Documentary Airs on ThinkTV
DESCRIPTION:Ohio Humanities’ documentary film The Lincoln School Story airs on ThinkTV in Dayton! \n\n\n\nWhen their school district refused to integrate after Brown v. Board of Education was decided in 1954\, a group of Black mothers in Southwest Ohio marched their children to the white school\, demanding admission\, only to be turned away every day for two years. Their activism resulted in one of the longest sustained protests of the civil rights era. Today\, their children remain committed to telling the story of their mothers’ activism and of Ohio’s role in the movement. \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: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!

SUMMARY:Self-Determination Strategies of Free Black Communities in the Old Northwest
DESCRIPTION:For the final installment of the lecture series\, Migration and Removal: Documenting the Historically Underrepresented Voices of Westward Expansion\, the Litchfield Historical Society is excited to be hosting Jill Rowe for a virtual discussion on her book\, Invisible in Plain Sight: Self-Determination Strategies of Free Blacks in the Old Northwest on Sunday\, April 14th at 3:00 p.m. on Zoom.  \n\n\n\nRowe’s talk focuses on the migration of free African Americans and racially mixed people from Virginia to Northwestern Ohio and analyze the role of structural constraints\, relationships with Native American communities\, contributions to Western Expansion initiatives\, governmental policies\, and the evolving social construction of race. Once in Ohio\, these courageous settlers embraced self-determination by founding villages\, actively participating in the Underground Railroad\, and leading rich social lives with other free blacks in the surrounding communities.  \n\n\n\nJill Rowe is a professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Health Programs at Western Michigan University. As a medical anthropologist\, her research explores health disparities through the lens of health-seeking behaviors and socioeconomic justice and examines the cultural\, social\, psychological\, environmental\, and historical factors that affect health in diverse communities.  \n\n\n\nThis program series is made possible through the generous support of the family of John Mayher. \n\n\n\nPlease register for the event here.

SUMMARY:Screening and Conversation: The Art of Un-War
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of the healing power of art: “Krzysztof Wodiczko: The Art of Un-War” film screening followed by a conversation and Q&A with artist Krzysztof Wodiczko and director/producer Maria Niro at the main branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library. \n\n\n\nKrzysztof Wodiczko: The Art of Un-War (1hr 4min)\, a film directed and produced by Maria Niro\, explores the life and work of renowned artist Krzysztof Wodiczko.

The film explores Wodiczko’s monumental slide and video projections on architectural facades and monuments\, which serve as powerful vehicles for addressing themes such as war trauma\, displacement\, history\, memory\, and public communication. \n\n\n\nThis screening will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with director Maria Niro\, who will be attending in person\, and Krzysztof Wodiczko who will participate via Zoom.

SUMMARY:The First Ohioans and Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Upper Arlington Public Library Lane Road Branch for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Brad Lepper! \n\n\n\nHumans first entered the Ohio Valley sometime after 20\,000 years ago. These hardy American Indian pioneers adapted to the New World they found and\, over the succeeding millennia\, shaped many aspects of their environment. With the Industrial Revolution and the intensive burning of fossil fuels\, including Ohio’s rich coal deposits\, humans began to be active agents in changing the very climate of the Earth in ways that could prove to be disastrous for many species\, including our own. Can humans and the civilizations we have created find ways to adapt to these profound changes or possibly even undo the damage we have caused?  \n\n\n\nBrad Lepper is the Senior Archaeologist for the Ohio History Connection’s World Heritage Program. In addition\, he has occasionally been a Visiting Professor of Sociology and Anthropology at Denison University. His primary areas of interest include North America’s Ice Age peoples\, Ohio’s magnificent mounds and earthworks\, and the history of Archaeology. Noteworthy research includes excavation of the Burning Tree mastodon and discovery of the Great Hopewell Road\, featured in a documentary that was first broadcast on PBS in 1998. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Not Since Tecumseh: Darkness at Midday over the Ohio Country - Total Eclipse of the Sun - April 8\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Coshocton County District Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Tom O’Grady!  \n\n\n\nThe last time Ohio was witness to a total eclipse of the sun was on June 16\, 1806. The 1806 eclipse has gone down in history as Tecumseh’s Eclipse. Tecumseh was working to create a confederation of Native tribes to resist continued losses of land to the increased expansion of settlers in this formerly native territory. Future president and then military leader in the newly formed State of Ohio\, William Henry Harrison\, tried to stop him. In his efforts to discredit Tecumseh and his brother The Prophet\, Harrison publicly challenged the Shawnee leadership by calling upon them to prove this power daring them to “cause the Sun to stand still or the Moon to alter its course\, the rivers to cease to flow or the dead to rise from their graves.” Tecumseh used his knowledge of the approaching eclipse to reinforce the role of The Prophet and himself in the political dynamics unfolding in the newly formed region called the State of Ohio. \n\n\n\nHear about the dynamics causing solar eclipses and some of the history associated with this famous eclipse\, subsequent eclipse expeditions\, and a few stories about war and peace associated with this unique celestial phenomenon. O’Grady\, Astronomy Instructor at Ohio University since 1984\,  has chased the Moon’s shadow eight times to witness the appearance of distant stars and planets in the daytime\, to see the outer atmosphere of the sun\, and to observe the altered behavior of wild animals and livestock. This unique natural marvel\, which struck a fear and awe in early people causing some of them to build enormous earthworks with which to predict such events in the future\, will not occur again in Ohio skies until September 14\, 2099. \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:Nina Siegal author of 'The Diary Keepers'
DESCRIPTION:Come participate in the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival and see Nina Siegal\, author of The Diary Keepers! \n\n\n\nBased on select writings from a collection of more than two thousand Dutch diaries written during World War II\, The Diary Keepers illuminates a part of history we haven’t seen in quite this way before\, from the stories of a Nazi-sympathizing police officer to a Jewish journalist who documented daily activities at a transport camp. Journalist Nina Siegal\, who grew up in a family that had survived the Holocaust in Europe\, had always wondered about the experience of regular people during World War II. She had heard stories of the war as a child and Anne Frank’s diary\, but the tales were either crafted as moral lessons—to never waste food\, to be grateful for all you receive\, to hide your silver—or told with a punch line. The details of the past went untold in an effort to make it easier to assimilate into American life. When Siegal moved to Amsterdam as an adult\, those questions came up again\, as did another horrifying one: Why did seventy five percent of the Dutch Jewish community perish in the war\, while in other Western European countries the proportions were significantly lower? Searching and singular\, The Diary Keepers mines the diaries of ordinary citizens to understand the nature of resistance\, the workings of memory\, and the ways we reflect on\, commemorate\, and re-envision the past. \n\n\n\nThis project is part of the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival and was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?
