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. It delves into Wodiczko’s powerful artistic interventions created as responses to the inequities and horrors of war and injustice. The artist’s interventions throughout the narrative become powerful examples of how art can be a catalyst for social change and healing. \n\n\n\nFor over 50 years\, Wodiczko has explored the profound impact of violence on humanity and the transformative power of art as a medium for public discourse. 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. The forum will be moderated by UToledo faculty members Barry Jackisch and Mysoon Rizk. \n\n\n\nThis event was supported in part by an Ohio Humanities Spark Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

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?

SUMMARY:Virtual author event featuring Elizabeth Graver and Aaron Hamburger
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of a 2 author virtual panel featuring Elizabeth Graver\, author of Kantika\, and Aaron Hamburber\, author of Hotel Cuba! \n\n\n\nA kaleidoscopic portrait of one family’s displacement across four countries\, Kantika—’song’ in Ladino—follows the joys and losses of Rebecca Cohen\, feisty daughter of the Sephardic elite of early 20th-century Istanbul. When the Cohens lose their wealth and are forced to move to Barcelona and start anew\, Rebecca fashions a life and self from what comes her way—a failed marriage\, the need to earn a living\, but also passion\, pleasure\, and motherhood. Moving from Spain to Cuba to New York for an arranged second marriage\, she faces her greatest challenge—her disabled stepdaughter\, Luna\, whose feistiness equals her own and whose challenges pit new family against old. \n\n\n\nFleeing the chaos of World War I and the Soviet Revolution\, practical\, sensible Pearl Kahn and her lovestruck\, impulsive younger sibling Frieda hope to reach America. But when discriminatory new immigration laws bar their entry\, the young women sail instead to Havana\, Cuba\, convinced that there they will find a way to overcome this setback. Life in big-city Prohibition-era Havana is overwhelming\, like nothing Pearl and Frieda could have imagined in the rural shtetl where they grew up. A heartbreaking\, epic family story\, Hotel Cuba explores the profound courage of two women displaced from their home who strive to create a new future in an enticing and dangerous world far different from anything they have ever known. \n\n\n\nThis event 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?

SUMMARY:Joseph Posnanski author of 'Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments'
DESCRIPTION:Come participate in the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival and see Joseph Posnanski\, author of Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments! \n\n\n\nWhy We Love Baseball is a love letter to baseball\, a fresh and heartfelt look at the game’s greatest moments and how they continue to grab at our hearts. Whether it’s Willie Mays’ over-the-shoulder catch\, Babe Ruth’s called shot\, Shohei Ohtani’s exploits as both a pitcher and a hitter\, or Josh Gibson or Sandy Koufax’s perfect game\, these timeless and magical moments take us to the heart of why we love baseball after almost 150 years. The connection between Jews and baseball is particularly strong. When Joe Posnanski’s father came to the United States from Israel just before Joe was born\, his father made certain to learn baseball so that he could teach it to his oldest son. When Joe’s mother saw that her son was a baseball nut\, she helped him collect baseball cards (while asking if Boog Powell was a gantse macher). This is a common story. Baseball has always drawn Jewish attention\, whether it was players like Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax\, broadcasters like Mel Allen\, Gary Cohen\, and Al Michaels\, writers like Roger Kahn\, Lawrence Ritter and Donald Honig\, executives like Theo Epstein and Bud Selig. The Jewish love of baseball is powerful and enduring. \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?

SUMMARY:Helen Hamilton Gardener and the Secret History of Women’s Suffrage in America
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the South Dayton Church of Christ with the Springboro Area Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities Speakers’ Bureau event with Kimberly Hamlin! \n\n\n\nThis talk reveals the remarkable story of the “fallen woman” who became the “most potent factor” in Congressional passage of the 19th Amendment and the highest-ranking woman in federal government. After being outed in Ohio newspapers for having an affair with a married man\, Alice Chenoweth moved to New York City\, changed her name to Helen Hamilton Gardener\, and became one of the century’s most famous reformers. In 1910\, she settled in Washington\, D.C. right next to the Speaker of the House. Next\, she charmed her way into the Wilson White House and steered the 19 th Amendment through Congress. The year 2020 marks the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, and this presentation tells the larger story of the suffrage movement through the eyes of one of its most fascinating advocates. \n\n\n\nKimberly A. Hamlin is a historian specializing in women\, gender\, sex\, science\, and politics. A recent recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Public Scholar Award\, Hamlin regularly contributes to the Washington Post and other media outlets\, and she lectures widely on topics related to women and gender. Her latest book\, Free Thinker: Sex\, Suffrage\, and the Extraordinary Life of Helen Hamilton Gardener (2020)\, reveals the remarkable story of the “fallen woman” who changed her name\, reinvented herself\, and became the “most potent factor” in Congressional passage of the 19th Amendment as well as the highest-ranking woman in federal government. Hamlin is actively involved in local and national suffrage centennial activities including guest editing\, together with Cathleen Cahill and Crystal Feimster\, a special suffrage centennial issue of the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Hamlin’s previous book\, From Eve to Evolution: Darwin\, Science\, and Women’s Rights in Gilded Age America (2014)\, analyzes the U.S. reception of Darwin in terms of gender and provides the first full-length study of women’s responses to evolutionary theory. Hamlin has received the Carrie Chapman Catt Prize for Research on Women and Politics\, the Margaret Rossiter History of Women in Science Prize (from the History of Science Society)\, and the Emerging Scholar Award from the Nineteenth Century Studies Association\, in addition to research fellowships from the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium\, the Huntington Library\, the Sophia Smith Collection\, and others. Hamlin has also published on the origins of the Miss America Pageant\, the Girl Scouts\, bearded ladies\, women running for president\, and the Equal Rights Amendment. She has appeared on various public radio shows on both NPR and CBC and contributed to multiple PBS documentaries. Since 2007\, she has taught History and American Studies at Miami University in Oxford\, Ohio. She lives in Cincinnati where she co-hosts the Mercantile Library’s Allgood-McLean “Women You Should Know” Book Discussion Series.

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:Dalia Feldheim author of 'Lead Like a Girl: How to Survive in the Corporate Jungle'
DESCRIPTION:Come participate in the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival and see Dalia Feldheim\, author of Lead Like a Girl: How to Survive in the Corporate Jungle! \n\n\n\nLead Like a Girl is a holistic look at how to achieve purpose and joy at work. It is about turning the world of work into a place where empathy\, intuition\, passion\, and resilience take their rightful place\, where women can lead like women and men can tap into their historically considered feminine leadership traits and dare to lead (more) like a girl! It’s a provocative call to action to all leaders to stop wearing emotional masks at work and connect to their more feminine leadership traits like purpose\, perspective\, physical power\, people and positivity. \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?

SUMMARY:Women in history that you may never have heard of but should!
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of a 3 author virtual panel in commemoration of Women’s History Month featuring Allison Gilbert\, Christopher Gorham and Linda Kass as part of the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival! \n\n\n\n1) Listen\, World! How the Intrepid Elsie Robinson Became American’s Most-Read Woman is about the most-read woman in America and the highest-paid woman writer in the William Randolph Hearst media empire. Elsie Robinson launched her nationally syndicated Listen\, World! column nearly 100 years ago. For more than thirty years\, Elsie shared her points of view with over twenty million readers – blasting gender inequality\, racism\, antisemitism – and invited readers to ‘talk back’ by printing their fiery letters in her pages. \n\n\n\n2)The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WW 2 and shape Modern America: The first-ever biography of Anna Marie Rosenberg\, a Jewish immigrant with only a high school education who went on to be dubbed by Life Magazine ‘the most important woman in the American government.’ Her life ran parallel to the front lines of history yet her influence on 20th century America\, from the New Deal to the Cold War and beyond\, has never before been told. \n\n\n\n3) Bessie: A Novel: Just days after the close of World War II\, Bess Myerson\, the college-educated daughter of poor Russian Jewish immigrants living in the Bronx\, is competing in the Miss America pageant. At stake: a $5\,000 scholarship. Drawing on biographical and historical sources\, Bessie reimagines the early life of Bess Myerson\, who\, in the bigoted milieu of 1945\, remarkably rises to become Miss America and one of the most famous women in America. \n\n\n\nThis event 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?
