SUMMARY:The Newark Earthworks: One of the World's Ancient Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Cleo Redd Fisher Historical Museum for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with Brad Lepper about the Newark Earthworks! \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? Were they prehistoric forts or ancient American cathedrals? \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: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. He has lectured widely on issued of race and law as well as African Americans in rural Ohio. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

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:The Burning Tree Mastodon and Ohio's Ice Age
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Tremont Rd. Branch of the Upper Arlington Library for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Brad Lepper about the mastodon discovery that sparked a knowledge revolution. \n\n\n\nThe 1989 discovery of this giant\, ancient elephant-like creature opened an unprecedented window onto Ohio’s Ice Age.

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\nPlease register ahead of time here! \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

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:Transcending NAGPRA: Indigenizing Collections Care and Repatriation
DESCRIPTION:Join the Institute for Human Science and Culture for their speaker series on reducing harms in museums for a talk with Courtney Little Axe! \n\n\n\nThe University of Montana Anthropological Curation Facility (UMACF) has been working in collaboration with the Tribal Historic Preservation Officers from each Montana tribe to formulate policies and procedures in accordance with cultural protocols for repatriation. The University of Montana’s NAGPRA Repatriation Coordinator will discuss what Indigenizing collections care means and what successful collaboration between institutions and tribes could look like. \n\n\n\nCourtney Little Axe is Northern Cheyenne\, Absentee Shawnee\, and Seminole. She grew up on the Northern Cheyenne reservation and in Little Axe/Tecumseh\, Oklahoma. She has an AS in Natural Sciences and a Records and Information Management Certificate from Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence\, Kansas.

SUMMARY:Terrorizing Immigrants and Catholics: The Ohio Ku Klux Klan in the 1920's
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Campus Martius Museum in Marietta for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with William Trollinger about the influence of the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920’s. \n\n\n\nHaving virtually disappeared in the late nineteenth century\, the Ku Klux Klan exploded onto the national in the early 1920s\, with perhaps five million members at its peak. While the original Klan concentrated its animus against the newly freed slaves\, this “second” KKK had an expanded list of social scapegoats that included immigrants\, Jews\, and Catholics. While the original Klan was based primarily in the South\, the second Klan had its greatest numerical strength in the West and Midwest. In fact\, Ohio may have had more KKK members than any other state in the Union\, with an estimated 400\,000 Klansmen and Klanswomen. In this presentation we will explore why the Klan was so strong in Ohio\, what activities the Ohio Klan engaged in\, and in what ways the folks targeted by the Klan fought back. \n\n\n\nWilliam Trollinger is professor of history in the History and Religious Studies Departments at the University of Dayton. He is also director of UD’s Core Integrated Studies Program\, which features an innovative\, five-semester interdisciplinary curriculum. He earned his B.A. in English and History from Bethel College (MN) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research has focused on 20th/21st-century American Protestantism\, particularly fundamentalism\, creationism\, and Protestant print culture. His publications include God’s Empire: William Bell Riley and Midwestern Fundamentalism (University of Wisconsin Press\, 1990) and Righting America at the Creation Museum (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2016)\, the latter which he co-authored with his wife\, Susan Trollinger. He has also done a good deal of research on the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920s; one result of this work is “Hearing the Silence: The University of Dayton\, the Ku Klux Klan\, and Catholic Universities and Colleges” (American Catholic Studies\, Spring 2013)\, for which he won the 2014 Catholic Press Award for Best Essay in a Scholarly Magazine. He enjoys speaking on the 1920s Ohio Ku Klux Klan. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau? Check out speakers and topics here. \n\n\n\nWant to see other Ohio Humanities events?

SUMMARY:Statues\, Flags\, and the Ongoing Battle over the Meaning of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the South Dayton Church of Christ with the Springboro Area Historical Society for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with William Trollinger about how statues are used to interpret the history of the Civil War! \n\n\n\nThe 2015 mass shooting in Charleston and now the recent events in Charlottesville have added fuel to the intense and sometimes heated debate in contemporary America about Confederate monuments and flags. What sometimes gets lost in this debate is that monuments and flags are not history themselves\, but are commemorations of a particular interpretation of history. This is particularly true in this case. Most Confederate monuments were not constructed in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War\, but\, instead\, were put up as part of the effort to create a “Jim Crow” South that rendered African Americans politically invisible and powerless. And the revival of Confederate flags was part and parcel of the mid-twentieth-century white resistance to the Civil Rights movement. In effect\, the Confederate monuments and flags – and the fierce defense of both – are manifestations of the fact that the South lost the Civil War but won the writing of history. And the current opposition to Confederate monuments and flags grows out of a very deep desire to tell a new and more accurate story about our past. \n\n\n\nWilliam Trollinger is professor of history in the History and Religious Studies Departments at the University of Dayton. He is also director of UD’s Core Integrated Studies Program\, which features an innovative\, five-semester interdisciplinary curriculum. He earned his B.A. in English and History from Bethel College (MN) and his M.A. and Ph.D. in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research has focused on 20th/21st-century American Protestantism\, particularly fundamentalism\, creationism\, and Protestant print culture.

He has also done a good deal of research on the Ku Klux Klan in Ohio in the 1920s; one result of this work is “Hearing the Silence: The University of Dayton\, the Ku Klux Klan\, and Catholic Universities and Colleges” (American Catholic Studies\, Spring 2013)\, for which he won the 2014 Catholic Press Award for Best Essay in a Scholarly Magazine.

SUMMARY:"A Death in the City" Film Screening and Community Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Teaching Cleveland\, in association with playwright Faye Sholiton and filmmaker Marquette Williams\, with generous support from America250 and the Ohio Humanities Council\, is offering facilitated community conversations to accompany the viewing of “A Death in the City: In the Wake of Segregation” as a part of the project called “On Our Watch” focused on using history to empower individuals to create a better future.  \n\n\n\nThe film recounts the stories of nine individuals involved in the tense decades following World War II\, when civil rights activists around the country coalesced into a movement to change the racial hierarchy that had dominated so many institutions and systems in this country. Black Americans and their allies fought discrimination in the military\, at the voting polls\, and in trying to secure housing\, bank loans\, and jobs. Most notably\, they aimed to eliminate racial discrimination in the education system in the hopes that American society would move closer to the promises laid out in the country’s founding documents. Most of the events depicted and described in the film took place in the 1950s and 1960s in Cleveland\, Ohio\, and the narratives center around the death of civil rights activist Rev. Bruce Klunder in 1964. \n\n\n\nThis program is presented at no cost\, but registration is required – please click this link to register. Parking is available in the Cleveland History Center’s visitor lot (enter from Magnolia Drive) at regular museum rates.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with Yardena Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Jewish Book Festival is back for its 25th year! Join Yardena Schwartz to discuss her book\, Ghosts of a Holy War. \n\n\n\nThe 1929 massacre of the ancient Jewish community of Hebron was one of the most seminal events in the Arab-Israeli conflict–until October 7\, 2023. One century apart\, the echoes of 1929 in 2023 are key to understanding the complexities of what is\, at its core\, a holy war between Abraham’s children. Through the never-before-told story of a young American who moved to what was then Palestine in 1928\, Schwartz expertly weaves 100 years of history in the Holy Land to demonstrate how the issues today cannot be fully understood without the context of ground zero of this century-old war. \n\n\n\nYardena Schwartz is an award-winning freelance journalist and Emmy-nominated producer who lived in Israel from 2013–2023\, reporting for various publications\, including The New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, TIME\, The Economist\, Foreign Policy and National Geographic. She has reported from Israel and the West Bank\, Morocco\, Nepal\, Ukraine\, Poland\, France\, Germany\, and the United States. \n\n\n\nYardena previously worked at NBC News headquarters in New York\, including stints at The Today Show\, Nightly News with Brian Williams\, and Andrea Mitchell Reports. Yardena graduated with honors from Columbia Journalism School and is a recipient of the 2016 RNA award for excellence in magazine reporting. \n\n\n\n“[A] compelling story. . . . If you are going to read one book to help you understand the current Middle East tragedy\, this is it.” \n\n\n\n—Yossi Klein Halevi\, senior fellow\, Shalom Hartman Institute\, and author of the New York Times bestseller Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, but please register here. \n\n\n\nSponsor: \n\n\n\n\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?
