SUMMARY:Author Talk with Daniel Schulman
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join Daniel Schulman to discuss his book\, The Money Kings. \n\n\n\nThis book tells the incredible saga of the German Jewish immigrants – with now familiar names like Goldman and Sachs\, Kuhn and Loeb\, Warburg and Schiff\, Lehman and Seligman – who profoundly influenced the rise of modern finance. Schulman unspools a sweeping narrative that traces the interconnected origin stories of these financial dynasties. He chronicles their paths to Wall Street dominance\, as they navigated the deeply antisemitic upper class of the Gilded Age\, and the complexities of the Civil War\, World War I and the Zionist movement that tested both their burgeoning empires and their identities as Americans\, Germans and Jews. \n\n\n\nDaniel Schulman is a best-selling author and journalist whose work has appeared in publications including The Boston Globe Magazine\, Politico\, Vanity Fair\, the Washington Post\, and Mother Jones\, where he is the magazine’s deputy Washington\, DC bureau chief. Schulman’s first book\, Sons of Wichita\, a biography of the Koch brothers\, was a finalist for The Financial Times and McKinsey Business Book of the Year Award. He lives outside of Boston with his wife and sons.  \n\n\n\nPraise for the book: “A must-read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the roots of modern finance and its foundational families. Schulman weaves a masterful tapestry of history\, bringing to life the untold stories of a group of trailblazing pioneers who left an indelible mark on global business and Jewish life. It’s a monumental work.”\n\n\n\n— David de Jong\, author of Nazi Billionaires \n\n\n\nSponsor: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n& The Park Synagogue Robert Leitson Family Lecture Fund \n\n\n\nCommunity Partner: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register here. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival\, supported in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant! \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

SUMMARY:Coded Language of Negro Spirituals during the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Come visit St. Paul’s United Church of Christ with the Auglaize County Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Valerie Boyer about the spirituals during the Underground Railroad in Ohio! \n\n\n\nNegro Spirituals\, which have since been renamed African American Spirituals\, have been sung by enslaved people and their descendants since as early as the 18th century\, and are still sung today. This talk covers what makes them such a brilliant form of resistance by discussing the hidden messages coded within them. When someone who didn’t need to know\, such as an overseer or master\, heard these songs\, the assumption was often that they sang about heaven\, scripture\, or biblical reference in folklore. They had no clue that these freedom seekers were singing songs of liberation\, escape routes\, planned resistance\, and so much more. \n\n\n\nValerie Boyer is a woman of many callings. She is a vocalist\, musician\, dancer\, poet\, activist\, minister\, historian\, and most of all an educator. In every space\, she breathes knowledge. Born and raised in Galveston\, TX\, Valerie Boyer was groomed in southern hospitality and shares that kindness everywhere she goes. \n\n\n\nHer life’s work reflects the southern colloquialisms of her childhood and the tenacity of her adulthood. As a member of the National Forensics League\, 2012 Miss Juneteenth Ambassador\, Black Historian of the Year in 2019 UpStart Magazine\, Valerie been able to travel the country\, and has been featured at venues such as Ohio History Center\, Nandi’s Knowledge Cafe\, Columbus Color of Summer\, Wednesday Night Live Howard University\, Westerville Historical Society\, Columbus City Schools GearUp initiative\, Ohio Black Collective at Walsh University\, NinaImani at Youngstown State university\, SOBO at Ohio Black Expo\, just to name a few.  \n\n\n\nValerie is an active member of Ohio Black Expo\, and Advocates of Diversity for the state of Ohio. Valerie has taught Social Studies for years\, and is currently the School and Inclusive Community Programs Coordinator at Ohio History Connection. Valerie Boyer is a proud graduate of Howard University\, and resides in Columbus\, Ohio. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Underground Railroad in Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Garst Museum at Darke County Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Valerie Boyer about the Underground Railroad in Ohio! \n\n\n\nDo we really know the story of Underground Railroad? This talk discusses the food\, the clothes\, the Ohio Black codes\, the technicalities around “freedom”\, and the length of the journey—in all its complexity. The nuance of some of these things is often not taken into consideration when telling this story of heroes. The practices created to navigate this railroad of sorts are cultural customs and norms. This talk will illuminate how we still carry many of them with us today. \n\n\n\nValerie Boyer is a woman of many callings. She is a vocalist\, musician\, dancer\, poet\, activist\, minister\, historian\, and most of all an educator. In every space\, she breathes knowledge.

SUMMARY:Why the West Went to War in 1812
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Bellaire Public Library with the Great Stone Viaduct Historical Education Society for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brandon Downing about the history of the War of 1812! This talk is part of the Bellaire Library’s Great Stone Viaduct Winter Lecture Series\, come check it out! \n\n\n\nThis talk answers the question: What was the link between western states and territories and the War of 1812? Investigating backcountry culture and its influence on shaping the Northwest Territory’s organization is central to understanding why settlers living in trans-Appalachia adamantly supported war against Great Britain and their Indian allies. Expressions of backcountry culture can be found in the petitions sent during Kentucky’s formative period of development when the qualifications of land ownership were still undecided. There is a common thread in the petitions that will help us to understand what backcountry settlers considered prerequisites for gaining title to their property in the new western lands. Meanwhile\, the frequent and violent encounters with the Ohio Valley Indians justified\, in the minds of the settlers\, their claims to land ownership. \n\n\n\nBrandon C. Downing is an Assistant Professor of History at Marietta College. He teaches early American history classes in Native and Colonial America\, the American Revolutionary War\, and in Public History. His primary interests are Native-White interactions in the Ohio Valley\, the War of 1812\, and the history of Marietta\, OH. He is currently working on a project titled\, “Performative Violence as Political Discourse: Delawares during the Seven Years’ War\, 1755-1758\,” which provides a Native perspective on the Penns Creek and Great Cove Massacres in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Broadcast Premier of "Capturing Life"
DESCRIPTION:Voyageur Media Group’s “Capturing Life” (1839-1869) will premiere on both CET HD and ThinkTV HD (simulcast) at 4:30 pm on Sunday\, February 16! \n\n\n\nOver the past three decades\, Voyageur’s production team has conducted research at dozens of regional archives in search of photographs to illustrate documentaries about our area’s rich cultural heritage. They have always cherished days spent exploring photographic collections. Over time\, they came to realize that these remarkable photographs are a fascinating story unto themselves. \n\n\n\nThe Big Picture: A History of Photography in Greater Cincinnati presents these fascinating stories in three\, one-hour episodes that cover the century of time from 1839 to 1939. \n\n\n\n“Capturing Life\,” the first episode\, examines how photography emerged as a vital medium during a period when Cincinnati evolved from a modest river town into the sixth-largest city in the United States. We present the work of the region’s first photographers\, entrepreneurs who turned their craft into a business. The first episode also explores the influence of photography during a period of enormous social change\, including westward expansion\, immigration\, slavery\, the abolitionist movement and the Civil War. \n\n\n\nThis project was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

SUMMARY:Underground Railroad in Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Coshocton County District Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Valerie Boyer about the Underground Railroad in Ohio! \n\n\n\nDo we really know the story of Underground Railroad?

SUMMARY:Looking Back at Being Black in Rural Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Join the Warren Branch of the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Ric Sheffield about his experience growing up Black in rural Oho. \n\n\n\nThis program presents a glimpse into the Black experience in small town America as reflected in Sheffield’s book “We Got By: A Black Family’s Journey in the Heartland.” With actual and projected increases in the number of people of color taking up residence in rural America\, it would be wise for small towns to better understand the factors that have impacted minority communities within them as well as the challenges of people who have lived in communities where few others looked like them. This program works well as a book talk as well as broader discussion of rural diversity. \n\n\n\nRic Sheffield is Professor Emeritus of Legal Studies and Sociology at Kenyon College. In addition to having served as Associate Provost of the College\, he is the Director of Kenyon’s Law & Society Program and the John Adams Summer Scholars Program in Socio-legal Studies. His research has focused upon the relationship between law and issues of gender\, race\, and ethnicity.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Pam Jenoff
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join Pam Jenoff to discuss her book\, Last Twilight in Paris. \n\n\n\nIn Last Twilight in Paris\, Louise is still adjusting to her postwar role as a housewife in 1953 London\, when she discovers a necklace in a box at a secondhand shop. The box is marked with the name of a department store in Paris\, and she is certain she has seen the necklace before worked with the Red Cross in Nazi-occupied Europe —and that it holds the key to the mysterious death of her friend Franny during the war. \n\n\n\nFollowing the trail of clues to Paris\, Louise seeks help from her former boss Ian\, with whom she shares a romantic history. The necklace leads them to discover the dark history of Lévitan—a once-glamorous department store that served as a Nazi prison\, and Helaine\, a woman who was imprisoned there\, torn apart from her husband when the Germans invaded France. \n\n\n\nLouise races to find the connection between the necklace\, the department store and Franny’s death. But nothing is as it seems\, and there are forces determined to keep the truth buried forever. Inspired by the true story of the Lévitan\, Last Twilight in Paris is both a gripping mystery and an unforgettable story about sacrifice\, resistance and the power of love to transcend in even the darkest hours. \n\n\n\nAbout the author: \n\n\n\nPam Jenoff is the author of several books of historical fiction\, including the New York Times bestsellers Code Name Sapphire\, The Lost Girls of Paris\, and The Orphan’s Tale. She holds a bachelor’s degree in international affairs from George Washington University and a master’s degree in history from Cambridge\, and she received her Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania. Jenoff’s novels are inspired by her experiences working at the Pentagon and also as a diplomat for the State Department handling Holocaust issues in Poland. She lives with her husband and three children near Philadelphia\, where\, in addition to writing\, she teaches law school. \n\n\n\nBooks will be available for purchase at the event. \n\n\n\nPlease register here. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival\, supported in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant! \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

SUMMARY:Visions of the New Nation in the Northwest Territory
DESCRIPTION:Come visit Muskingum County History for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Brandon Downing about how the Northwest Territory shaped the development of early America! \n\n\n\nThis talk examines Marietta as a cultural heritage site that serves a crucial role in redefining American collective history by reconstructing a national identity based on the Northwest Ordinance\, one of the most important\, progressive\, and far-reaching legislative acts in American history. By using the interlinked aspects of place\, Marietta’s importance as the “first organized settlement of the Northwest Territory” illustrates how it became the birthplace of equality through the preservation of the public domain. This is in contrast with the myth of freedom and independence of a seemingly limitless land. The lessons learned from Marietta as “place\,” then\, expands the American narrative by challenging our understanding of territorial expansion within the United States in the early nineteenth century. \n\n\n\nBrandon C. Downing is an Assistant Professor of History at Marietta College. He teaches early American history classes in Native and Colonial America\, the American Revolutionary War\, and in Public History. His primary interests are Native-White interactions in the Ohio Valley\, the War of 1812\, and the history of Marietta\, OH. He is currently working on a project titled\, “Performative Violence as Political Discourse: Delawares during the Seven Years’ War\, 1755-1758\,” which provides a Native perspective on the Penns Creek and Great Cove Massacres in Pennsylvania. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:From the Nuremberg Laws to the Night of Broken Glass: Race\, Law\, and the Foundations of the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Marvin Memorial Church for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Barry Jackisch about the history that led up to Night of Broken Glass. \n\n\n\nThis presentation explores the increasing persecution of Jews and other targeted groups in Nazi Germany. Far from a random process\, this persecution developed with the entire weight of the German state and legal system. Outsiders soon became legally excluded from German society on the basis of overt racial discrimination. This legal segregation allowed systematic violence against Jews and other groups in the Nazi regime\, culminating in the nightmare of the Holocaust. \n\n\n\nBarry Jackisch is an associate professor at the University of Toledo and Director of UToledo’s Roger Ray Institute for the Humanities. He received his Ph.D. in history from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo in 2000. He is an historian of modern central and eastern Europe with research interests (including one book and multiple articles) related to democracy\, fascism\, and communism in the mid-20th century. At UToledo\, he teaches courses in modern German and Russian history\, war and revolution in Europe\, the age of world wars\, the contemporary world\, and the history of the Holocaust and comparative genocide. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Author Talk with R. Derek Black
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join R. Derek Black to discuss their memoir\, The Klansman’s Son. \n\n\n\nThe Klansman’s Son is an astonishing memoir of a childhood built on fear and of breaking from a community of hate. Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States. Their father\, Don Black\, was a former Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and started Stormfront\, the internet’s first white supremacist website. Derek built the kids’ page.

Derek Black (they/them) is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Chicago. Since 2016\, they have spoken to many audiences at universities\, foundations\, institutions\, museums\, synagogues and churches.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Dr. Alex Kor
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join Dr. Alex Kor to discuss his memoir\, A Blessing\, Not a Burden. \n\n\n\nBy all accounts\, Dr. Alex Kor’s life has been a miracle. The son of two Holocaust survivors who narrowly escaped death\, Kor grew up in Indiana – a state with Midwestern charm and an ignominious history of prejudice. He details his incredible journey\, from his unique upbringing to his present-day mission of carrying on his parents’ inspiring legacy. From his mother’s controversial stance on forgiving the Nazis to his father’s unbridled optimism\, Kor shares life lessons that have helped him overcome his own hardships along the way. The book is co-authored by Graham Honaker. \n\n\n\nOriginally from Terre Haute\, Indiana\, Dr. Alex Kor is the son of two Holocaust survivors (Michael and Eva Mozes Kor). He received his D.P.M. (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) from the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. Since 1985\, he has traveled to Auschwitz more than 20 times with his late mother. He is a member of the CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center Board of Directors. \n\n\n\nSponsors: The Ida & Sam Zelwin Family Fund for Holocaust Education at B’nai Jeshurun Congregation and Mark Sack & Etti Berkman in honor of Holocaust Educators everywhere \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but please register ahead of time here. \n\n\n\nThis event is part of the Cleveland Jewish Book Festival\, supported in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant! \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?
