SUMMARY:Men of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth. (February 11\, 2022 - September 11\, 2022)
DESCRIPTION:  \nNOW EXTENDED THROUGH SEPTEMBER 11th!\nMen of Change: Power. Triumph. Truth. profiles the revolutionary men—including Muhammad Ali\, James Baldwin\, Ta-Nehisi Coates\, W.E.B Du Bois\, and Kendrick Lamar—whose journeys have altered the history and culture of the country. The achievements of the men are woven within the legacy and traditions of the African American journey—achievements of excellence in spite of society’s barriers.  \nThrough literary and historic quotes\, poetry\, original works of art\, dramatic photographs\, and a dynamic space that encourages self-reflection\, this innovative exhibition weaves together the historical and the contemporary to illuminate the importance of these men within the context of rich community traditions. It invites visitors to consider predominant narratives and engage in the authentic stories of history\, politics\, art\, culture\, and activism. Twenty-four contemporary artists were invited to reflect and celebrate the significance of these ground-breaking individuals through their own creative vision. These works of art serve as counterpoint to the sumptuously backlit photographs and inspiring quotes\, and together honor the truth of the African American experience in history and today. \nWhile these men made their mark in a variety of disciplines—politics\, sports\, science\, entertainment\, business\, religion\, and more—all understood the value of asserting their own agency by owning their own stories. \nMen of Change was developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service and made possible through the generous support of the Ford Motor Company Fund. \n\n\nPhoto credit: Kendrick Lamar\, 2018. Andrew Lih.

SUMMARY:Digital Program- Reginald F. Lewis Museum Community Oratory Reading of  Frederick Douglass'\, “What To the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”  - Noon Airing
DESCRIPTION:  \n**This virtual program will premier at Noon and be accessible online here (CLICK Douglass Image) or go to our museum’s facebook/IG page for the remainder of the week.** \nOn July 5\, 1852 in Rochester\, New York Frederick Douglass memorably declared\, “This Fourth of July is yours\, not mine. You may rejoice\, I must mourn.” Delivered two years after the Fugitive Slave Act (1850) and more than a decade before the end of slavery\, Douglass’ powerful speech reframed the meaning of patriotism in the face of the brutal institution of slavery. More than 150 years after his profound words\, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum commemorates this July 4th by revisiting Douglass’ speech. We’ve gathered the voices of contemporary African Americans living and working in Maryland to share excerpts of Douglass’ speech\, “What To the Slave is the Fourth of July?”  Spoken word artists\, actors\, educators\, and visual artists re-interpret Douglass’ speech within the museum’s permanent exhibition.   \nThe pre-recorded digital presentation will air at Noon online and on the museum’s facebook page. This recording will be available for continual viewing following the initial airing during the week of the Fourth of July holiday (July 4\, 2022 – July 10\, 2022). \nClick Here  to view the speech  of  “What To the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” \nRSVP to let us know you are coming. \nReflection Questions  –  Reflect on this digital reading of “What to Slave Is the Fourth of July?” by answering some of the following questions. \n\nWhich portions of Douglass’ speech resonate with you? Why?\nWhy is Frederick Douglass’ speech so important?\nTo what extent were the ideals of the Declaration of Independence real for African Americans before the Civil War?\nTo what extent were Fourth of July celebrations a reflection of American freedom or American hypocrisy before the Civil War?\n\nSocial Media Activity – Oratory Challenge \n\nTake on this oratory challenge of  recording yourself\, family or friends reciting  Douglass’ speech of “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”  Select a passage of Douglass’s speech that resonates with you.  Tag us on social media (Twitter\, Insta\, FB).\n\nLink to “What To the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”\n\n\n\nReaders: \n\nArthur Brown: Arthur is the Office Administrator at the Reginald F.
