SUMMARY:Celebrate General Lafayette’s Visit to Jeffersonville
DESCRIPTION:The Jeffersonville Township Public Library hosts a presentation by Chuck Schwam\, executive director of the American Friends of Lafayette\, as part of an event series to mark the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette’s 1825 visit to Jeffersonville\, Indiana. Among the truest believers in the principles of the American Revolution\, Lafayette left a world of wealth and prestige in France to risk his life and fortune to promote liberty and equality in the Americas and Europe. Throughout his life\, Lafayette was known for his generous spirit: he clothed the men who fought with him during the American Revolution and fed the hungry during a famine in France\, among other deeds. Schwam will focus specifically on Lafayette’s generosity\, commitment to abolishing slavery\, and views on the equality of Native Americans. The presentation is recommended for teen and adult patrons and will take place in the North Program Room of the library’s Jeffersonville location. \nFor more information\, visit www.jefflibrary.org or call 812.285.5641. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.

SUMMARY:Reviving a Forgotten Freetown: The Lives and Legacies of the US Colored Troops in Southeast Indianapolis
DESCRIPTION:Founded officially in 1872\, Norwood is a Reconstruction Era settlement outside the boundaries of Indianapolis. Norwood’s founders were African American veterans from Kentucky because of their service beside the Indiana 28th Regiment during the last years of the Civil War. Norwood and its partner community Barrington sat as stable\, independent Freetowns until they were annexed into Indianapolis in 1912. Using these oral histories and family archives\, we have reconstructed the story of the Southeast side of Indianapolis from the perspective of the USCT that first called it home. These stories have been left out of the dominant narratives of our culture and have only been revived through the voices of their descendants. \nPlease register for this event by clicking on the RSVP button above. \nKaila Austin (she/her) is an artist\, public historian and community activist from Indianapolis\, Indiana. In 2019\, she began Rogue Preservation Services\, a historic consulting firm\, to work with underserved communities to help them mobilize their histories to protect their ancestral spaces. Since 2021\, she has been working with six Reconstruction Era communities on the Southeast side of Indianapolis founded by the US Colored Troops: Norwood\, Barrington\, Hosbrook\, Babe Denny\, Bean Creek and Zuniville.

SUMMARY:Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows
DESCRIPTION:Join North Manchester Public Library as it hosts Dr. Tony Jean Dickerson of the Advancing Racial Equity Speakers Bureau. Dr. Dickerson will present her talk Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows. \nArts hold a vital place of importance in our society. Quilts\, often seen as “women’s work” and “sheer arts and crafts” by some\, actually have a prominent place in telling the struggles and triumphs of many cultures. Moreover\, the African American community has fought to tell its stories and quilts have been used as an important vehicle to tell these stories. From individuals and guilds alike\, the artistry of African American quilters can no longer be denied as frontrunners of the quilting scene. \nDr. Tony Jean Dickerson (she/her) was born and raised in Indianapolis\, Indiana\, and has earned degrees from Lincoln University\, University of Central Missouri\, and University of Missouri-Kansas City. In 2019\, after a successful thirty-year career in education she earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Kansas. She returned home in 2017 and became the lead faculty for Martin University’s School of Education’s Teacher Preparation Program in June of 2022. Besides teaching\, Dr. Dickerson is a nationally recognized quilter and is a member of 8 local and national quilt guilds including the founding president of the Akoma Ntoso Modern Quilt Guild of Central Indiana. \nNote: This event is part of Indiana Humanities’ Advancing Racial Equity Community Read program.

SUMMARY:Mirrors and Windows: Reading for & Beyond Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Join Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology as it hosts Leah Milne of the Advancing Racial Equity Speakers Bureau. Leah will present her talk Mirrors and Windows: Reading for & Beyond Empathy. \nScholar Rudine Sims Bishop and author Grace Lin liken reading to mirrors and windows. Some books are mirrors\, reflecting one’s identity. In the wake of recent race-based discussions in the US\, many readers sought windows\, books that offered insights into differing lives and experiences. This talk explores the connections between reading and empathy\, and the benefits of reading outside our comfort zones. What are strategies for reading empathetically? On the other hand\, what are the limits to this approach to empathy\, especially when reading across differences of race\, ability\, or gender? Do certain narratives more readily foster compassion? \nLeah Milne (she/her) is the author of Novel Subjects: Authorship as Radical Self-Care in Multiethnic American Narratives\, which won the 2021 Midwest Modern Language Association Book Award and examines multiculturalism and self-care in works by authors such as Carmen Maria Machado\, Ruth Ozeki\, Toni Morrison\, and Louise Erdrich. As an Associate Professor of English at the University of Indianapolis\, she teaches multicultural\, postcolonial\, and young adult literature. Her work has been published in journals and magazines such as The Journal of American Culture\, African American Review. Newsweek\, The Hill\, and Ms. Magazine. You can find out more at LeahMilne.com. \nNote: This event is part of Indiana Humanities’ Advancing Racial Equity Community Read program.
