SUMMARY:NANORIMO Prep Workshop With Larry Sweazy
DESCRIPTION:Here’s the big secret about writing novels: the hardest part of writing a novel is finishing it. The day-by-day grind it takes to write a novel can be overwhelming. Great ideas tire out. Real life gets in the way. Doubt overtakes the dream. In this interactive workshop\, Larry D. Sweazy will share proven tips and help beginning and seasoned writers alike\, to build the skills that they need to finish that special novel. Topics discussed will be time management\, building a toolbox\, finding support\, writing tips\, and most importantly living life as a writer\, even if they’re not published. Students should come prepared to write in class. Exercises include determining how many words can be written in a sitting\, character creation\, designing titles\, writing query letters\, and submission techniques. This workshop is designed to jumpstart a writer’s dream and turn it into a happy reality. \nThis workshop is made possible by a grant through Indiana Humanities. Larry D. Sweazy will conduct this workshop through Zoom. Patrons can join us at Munster Branch to watch the Zoom presentation or join through Zoom with a computer\, laptop\, or phone. An email address is required. Programs are subject to change. The library will contact registrants with any changes. If you have any questions\, please call 219-836-8450.

SUMMARY:Confronting Difficult Histories in Museums\, Archives\, and Historic Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Recently\, conversations reignited around appropriate presentations of so-called “difficult” histories like white supremacy\, colonization\, and other racial injustices\, and how those histories challenge long-standing\, narrow\, or often inaccurate interpretations. This session dives into how museums and other memory spaces can and must acknowledge and host those difficult conversations and the important histories they can teach. It challenges the idea of them as “difficult” and asks guests to explore why we value some interpretations over others. \nThis session will be held virtually. A Zoom link will be provided to participants who register at the Eventbrite link above. \nGeorge Garner (he/him) earned his M.A. in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program where he gained experience in museum administration\, exhibitions\, and collections care at such well-known institutions as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. He has dedicated his career to exploring how museums and memory spaces can help people make meaning from traumatic histories and use history to work actively toward change today. Since 2012\, he has served the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center\, a space that\, for thirty years\, operated as a segregated city-owned swimming pool. \nAbout the IDEA Learning Series – In partnership with the Indy Arts & Culture Equity Taskforce\, the Indy Arts Council is hosting its second year of IDEA (inclusion\, diversity\, equity\, access) Learning Series programming. Indy arts organization CEOs\, staff\, board members\, and teaching artists are welcome to attend for free.

SUMMARY:Making Waves: Civil Rights and the South Bend Natatorium
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a deeper dive into the stories of resistors in South Bend. Civil Rights Heritage Center Assistant Director and Curator George Garner uses the Natatorium to explore South Bend’s history of white supremacy\, Black resistance\, and the broader experiences of African Americans in this city. In 1922\, the word “public” adorned South Bend’s first municipal swimming pool. Despite this\, the people in charge denied entry to African Americans. The Natatorium became a focus of local resistance to injustice with activists pushing thirty years to enact change. In 2010\, the Natatorium was rebirthed as a home for the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center. \nThis is a live\, virtual presentation hosted by the Indiana Historical Society. To join\, please use the following Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ayy2fG0FRJmgVLEZv3DJsA \nGeorge Garner (he/him) earned his M.A. in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program where he gained experience in museum administration\, exhibitions\, and collections care at such well-known institutions as the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum and the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.

SUMMARY:Urban Roots Podcast Comes to Indianapolis!
DESCRIPTION:Urban Roots (www.urbanrootspodcast.com)\, a podcast that tells little-known stories from urban history\, has released two episodes that dig into the Black history of Indiana Avenue. \nMany peolple are familiar with Madam C.J. Walker\, the brilliant entrepreneur who built a haircare empire and became the first African American woman millionaire. But most don’t know that she used to live in Indianapolis and that her company’s headquarters used to be located along a once-vibrant Black corridor called Indiana Avenue\, a place that today is known for parking lots\, high-speed traffic\, and uninspiring university buildings. \nWhy do so few people know this story? Because over decades\, government planners and private developers slowly and systematically erased Indiana Avenue’s history. Luckily\, however\, some Black Hoosiers are working to uncover—and reclaim—what almost disappeared without a trace. In the two episodes dedicated to Indiana Avenue\, Urban Roots tells their—and the Avenue’s—story. \nIn episode one\, podcast hosts Deqah Hussein-Wetzel and Vanessa Quirk talk with incredibly distinguished Indiana-based experts: Madam C.J. Walker biographer (and descendent) A’Lelia Bundles; Susan Hall Dotson of the Indiana Historical Society; Claudia Polley of the Urban Legacy Lands Initiative; and Wildstyle Paschall\, an artist and Central Indiana Community Foundation Community ambassador. In episode two\, they continue the story and speak with more Black historians and activists who are working to not only preserve the little-known Black history of the city’s past\, but also to reshape its future. \nUrban Roots is an offshoot of Urbanist Media (www.urbanistmedia.org)\, a not-for-profit anti-racist community preservation collective. The podcast is produced by Cincinnati-based historic preservationist Deqah Hussein-Wetzel and New York-based cities journalist Vanessa Quirk. The first season dove into the histories of three of Cincinnati’s Black neighborhoods. In season two\, the episodes tell stories of Black history in Brooklyn\, Los Angeles and Indianapolis. You can find Urban Roots wherever you listen to podcasts (Apple\, Stitcher\, Spotify\, Pocket Casts) and on YouTube. \nFor more informaiton\, email urbanrootspodcast@gmail.com. \nUrban Roots’ Indiana Avenue episodes received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.

SUMMARY:Powerful Conversations on Race
DESCRIPTION:Powerful Conversations on Race is a monthly dialogue series hosted by Spirit & Place. The series explores topics around race and racism and the resulting impact. The June 2022 dialogue examines “Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Racial Violence.” \nFor each dialogue\, Spirit & Place chooses one or two readings and other source materials such as humanities-based texts\, poetry\, art and videos to ground the conversation. Trained facilitators use these materials to further support and push the discussion into deeper examination and reflection on participants’ underlying beliefs around race and racism in America and the implications. It is not necessary to read or engage with any of the source materials before the session. In fact\, Spirit & Place encourages everyone to come to the table as is. \nThis is not a lecture or book club but rather a space for community to come together and dive deeply into a variety of topics concerning race. Active participation is expected. \nTo register\, click on the RSVP link above. \nSpirit & Place is a community initiative of the IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. For more information\, email spcomm@iupui.edu. \nThis program received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Indiana Humanities as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

SUMMARY:A Walk in Our Parks: A Talk with Author Mark Woods
DESCRIPTION:This May\, the Friends of the Frankfort Public Library are hosting A Walk in Our Parks\, a series of public programs that celebrate our national and state parks. \nMark Woods\, author of Lassoing the Sun: A Year in America’s National Parks\, will kick off the programming with a virtual author talk on Thursday\, May 5\, at 6 p.m. \nOn the eve of turning 50 and a little burned out\, Woods decided to reconnect with the great outdoors. He planned to spend a year visiting the national parks\, re-creating his trips to the parks as a youth. But then his mother was diagnosed with cancer and given just months to live. Woods had initially intended to write a book about the future of the national parks\, but Lassoing the Sun grew into something more: a book about family\, the parks\, and the legacies we inherit and the ones we leave behind. In his talk\, Woods will share more about his journey and the lessons he learned. \nFor more information about the program\, including details on registering\, contact Mindy Emswiller at memswiller@myfcpl.org or 765.654.8746. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.

These virtual lectures take place on Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. \nMarch’s program features K. Andrea Rusnock\, professor of art history\, exploring “The Political Power of Needlework.” While many view needlework as little more than knickknacks made by grandmothers\, it’s much more than that. One fascinating use of needle arts has been in the service of politics\, both for protest and to bring awareness to social causes (think the AIDS quilt and the work of British suffragists). The world over\, people have used needlework as means to a political end all while creating fabulous art\, and Rusnook will delve into this theme during her talk. \nTo register for the program\, click the RSVP link above. \nFor more information and the latest details\, visit Pop-Up University’s website or contact Gail McGuire\, director of community engagement\, at gmcguire@iusb.edu. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.

SUMMARY:Afrofuture Fridays: Past Is Future
DESCRIPTION:Afrofuturism is a framework to critique the present that’s rooted in Black history and culture as it dreams of possible futures.

SUMMARY:The Power of Words: Celebrating Black Voices
DESCRIPTION:“The Power of Words” is a biennial event sponsored by the Friends of Monroe County Public Library. Indiana University Alumni Association Lifelong Learning is proud to be a community partner in presenting two lectures by two distinguished scholars and teachers to learn about the African American experience through the lenses of literature and film. \nThe two lectures will be offered virtually via Zoom. \nTuesday\, March 1\, 7-8:30 p.m.\nGenerations in Motion: African American Portraits \n“All growth is change\, but all change is not growth.” \nThe above comment by essayist and novelist James Baldwin is a cue for this course’s exploration of the theme of transition in African American writing. This theme has been portrayed\, dramatized and symbolized in countless ways throughout the history of formal and informal literature. Class readings and commentary will focus on examples of two emphases. \nThe first is physical migration\, such as that from the rural South to the urban North\, and from the Caribbean to the U.S. What memories accompany the luggage in these journeys? What are the specific expectations for the “new land”? (Consider here The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson). \nThe second form of transition is in accounts of growth and development into adulthood. Certainly\, both transitions can occur simultaneously in the published works. (Consider Richard Wright’s classic\, Black Boy). How are the meanings of adulthood articulated\, modeled or challenged within these works? How might knowledge of these transitions and the questions they raise enter future conversations and understanding of cultural and political movements? \nWe will explore sample text from several short stories and a non-fiction narrative. Excerpts will be distributed electronically before the class. \nAbout the Instructor\nJohn McCluskey\, Jr.\, is professor emeritus of African American and African diaspora studies and English at Indiana University Bloomington. He is author of two novels\, Look What They Done to My Song and Mr. America’s Last Season Blues. His short fiction has appeared in numerous journals and collections including Ploughshares\, Southern Review\, Ancestral House: The Black Short Story in the Americas and Europe\, Best American Short Stories and Calling the Wind. \nTuesday\, March 8\, 7-8:30 p.m.\nNavigating Childhood and Society in Recent African American Films \nHollywood has not been kind to Black children. From its earliest beginnings\, Black childhood has represented otherness and danger\, if not servitude and ridicule\, and has been designed and created for a non-Black audience. After a brief overview of some early motion picture renderings\, this presentation will focus on recent films by Black screenwriters and directors that represent an alternate view of what the socialization of Black children reveals and explores. Among the films to choose from are: Moonlight (2016)\, The Hate U Give (2018) and US (2019). \nAbout the Instructor\nAudrey Thomas McCluskey is professor emerita of African American and African diaspora studies at Indiana University Bloomington. She served as director of the Black Film Center/Archive and the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center\, as well as director of graduate studies in her department. She is author/editor of six books\, most recently A Forgotten Sisterhood: Black Women Educators and Activists in the Jim Crow South\, and numerous journal articles and book chapters that include Black film studies. \nThese courses have been approved by the Indiana State Library for four General Library Education Units (LEUs).

SUMMARY:Remixing the Future: Hip Hop as Afrofuturism\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Afrofuturism in music is largely discussed through the history and influence of Sun Ra and Parliament-Funkadelic. However\, that lens intersecting Black culture with technology and liberation can be felt across music genres and is very much a part of hip hop. From conscious rap to artists like Andre3000/Outkast\, from Digable Planets to Flying Lotus\, from Missy Elliot to Janelle Monae\, hip hop has been navigating the future for a while. \nJoin award-winning writer and editor Sheree Renee Thomas and writer-teacher Danian Darrell Jerry as they discuss the role of hip hop in Afrofuturism. \nThis program will take place virtually\, and we’ll post an RSVP link once registration opens. \nFor more information\, contact the Kheprw Institute at info@kheprw.org or 317.329.4803 ext. 3. \nThis program received support from an INcommon Grant\, offered through Indiana Humanities and the Indianapolis Foundation\, a CICF affiliate.

SUMMARY:Indiana Uplands Winter Food Conference: Reveal Party (and Listening Session)—Launching a Statewide Sustainable Food and Farming Organization
DESCRIPTION:In February\, the Indiana Uplands Winter Food Conference will present three sessions on updating the narrative about food and farming in Indiana. The sessions center on work that the Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition has been carrying out in recent years. \nThe third session is the “Reveal Party (and Listening Session)—Launching a Statewide Sustainable Food and Farming Organization.” Most states have a statewide sustainable farming organization that brings together eaters\, farmers and people working to strengthen the food system—and it’s time to build a coalition like this for Indiana. The Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition and partners around the state have secured substantial seed money to launch a food and farming organization for Indiana. Now they want to listen to farmers and food system advocates from around the state\, to shape the organization and their work. This new nonprofit will serve sustainable farmers of all sorts\, food councils\, farmer organizations and others working on food and farming in Indiana. In this session\, representatives from the Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition will host a “reveal party” to outline what they’ve accomplished so far\, share the results from their recent farmer survey\, discuss what they’re envisioning (so far) for the next three years and learn what the community needs from the group. \nThe Indiana Uplands Winter Food Conference is sponsored by the Indiana University Center for Rural Engagement and the Indiana University Food Institute and is co-led with partners from the Indiana Department of Health and the Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition. For details about the conference\, visit the conference website. To register for the conference\, click on the RSVP link above. Registration is free\, although conference organizers request a $10 donation from those who are able to help offset costs. \nFor more information about the conference\, contact the Indiana University Office of Conference and Event Registration Services at iuconfs@iu.edu. \nThe Hoosier Young Farmers Coalition received support from an Indiana Humanities Innovation Grant to develop a podcast about the diverse people who are farming in Indiana today.
