SUMMARY:Imaginarium: Social Imagination Experience
DESCRIPTION:February 22\, 2023 through April 9\, 2023 | The Lewis Now Gallery \nIn 1900\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, historian Daniel Murray\, and librarian Thomas J. Calloway exhibited at the World’s Fair in Paris\, celebrating global achievements that looked back over the past 100 years while incubating ideas that would mold the future. The Exhibit of American Negroes was a display that showcased the humanity\, diversity\, and experience of African Americans at the turn of the century. Over the past three years\, we have seen our world shift in ways we never thought; the IMAGINARIUM is a way that Black people can curate their vision\, hopes\, and ideas to be displayed for the world to see. \nThe IMAGINARIUM is an experimental and interactive exhibition of social imagination. It provides a space for visitors to share their vision for the feature of Black Baltimore\, Black Region D.C.\, Maryland\, Virginia (DMV)\, Black America\, and the Diaspora. In conjunction with our theme Black futures/Black imaginings\, the exhibit will ask a series of prompts and scenarios of visitors through engaging design activities that will encourage creative brainstorming for the future. \nThe investigative prompts that the IMAGINARIUM asks will discuss topics that impact the visitor as an individual and a member of the Black Community. The IMAGINARIUM will discuss socio-economic issues: mental health\, nationalism\, education\, public safety\, the workforce\, community spaces\, and the arts. \nLearn more   Plan Your Visit  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Reading Douglass Author Talk : In Spite Of… with Treopia Green Washington
DESCRIPTION:Reading Douglass Author Talk : In Spite Of… with Treopia Green Washington\nSaturday\, January 28\, 2023 | 2 pm | Hybrid\nFree with museum admission\, but registration is requested \n\nJoin us for a liberating author talk that celebrates Reading Douglass\, an exhibition exploring reading as an act of resistance and restoration that can profoundly impact our lives.  This book discussion will feature The Lewis Museum’s Executive Director Terri Lee Freeman in conversation with guest author Treopia Green Washington about memoir book\, In Spite Of….  in which the author shares her experience living during the Jim Crow era. Green Washington grew up in Little Rock\, Arkansas\, in a community determined to protect its children\, as much as possible\, from the cruelty of segregation laws designed to make people feel “less than.”\nIn spite of\, Treopia’s family and community created an environment where she and her brothers\, Ernest and Scott\, grew up believing in themselves. In 1957\, a pivotal year in the course of their life stories\, Ernest chose to be one of the nine high school students who integrated Central High School in the face of shocking violence. Treopia describes their parents’ guidance that helped them develop the inner strength and conviction they needed to succeed in their lives\, each in their own way. For Treopia\, it was through following her path as an educator. She chronicles her many teaching adventures and the enriching experiences she’s had since leaving the classroom. Through it all\, Treopia finds her mother’s wisdom\, inscribed in her heart and mind\, never leads her astray. \nA book signing will follow.  Museum visitors can also view the Reading Douglass exhibit during this author talk event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Feelin: Creative Practice\, Pleasure\, and Black Feminist Thought
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFeelin: Creative Practice\, Pleasure\, and Black Feminist Thought\nFriday\, December 16th | 6:30 PM\nFree Admission | RSVP Required \nJoin scholar and interdisciplinary artist\, Bettina Judd in celebrating her newest book\, Feelin\, with a conversation and interactive film screening at The Reginald F. Lewis Museum Maryland African American History and Culture (The Lewis Museum). Dr. Judd will be joined in conversation by Dr. Izetta Autumn Mobley\, Dr. Tiffany Lethabo King and Dr. Jessica Marie Johnson.  \nFeelin: Creative Practice\, Pleasure\, and Black Feminist Thought (Northwestern University Press\, December 15\, 2022)\,  is a timely work that contextualizes Black women’s interiors and demonstrates how Black women’s creativity and “feelins” are critical landscapes for revolutionary thought and theory. This urgent work intends to “name the ways that racism and sexism is felt\, and thus creative responses to those experiences must also be felt.” Judd expertly interrupts the impassive academic research tradition by opening lines of communication on each page between Black women artists. Lucille Clifton’s\, Aretha Franklin’s and Alexis Pauline Gumbs’ voices speak through the page alongside the voices of Renee Cox and Avery*Sunshine. Their genius and joy are woven expertly together with Judd’s own poetry\, art\, and academic thought. \nBettina Judd  is an interdisciplinary artist\, performer\, and writer whose creative research centers Black feminist thought. She is the author of patient.\, winner of the Hudson Prize from Black Lawrence Press\, and an associate professor in the Department of Gender\, Women\, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington and is from Baltimore.  \nPraise for Feelin\n“Bettina Judd brings to academic theory and criticism what Stephen Henderson suggests Black poets bring to poetry in their ‘attempt to speak directly to black people about themselves.’ I am certain that Judd’s Feelin: Creative Practice\, Pleasure\, and Black Feminist Thought is a book with which scholars and poets and all other kinds of writers and artists will have to contend long after Judd herself has written her last word. What I love most about this book is how Professor Judd proves her theories with her own art\, be it poetry or video production or song.” —Jericho Brown\, author of The Tradition \n“Bettina Judd’s attention is to black feminist thought\, creative process\, the feel of things\, our needs\, and all of the ways that bodies know. In Feelin Judd takes us deeply into grief\, joy!\, anger\, and ecstasy as the matter of Black study. This is an embodied black feminist poetics\, an imaginative labor of knowledge\, pleasure\, vulnerability\, and care.” —Christina Sharpe\, author of In the Wake: On Blackness and Being \n“Bettina Judd works with every mode of writing and artistry at her disposal\, offering an alternative\, Black feminist genealogy of affect theory that centers Lorde’s emphasis on embodied knowledge and reads Black women’s art practices for counternarratives to death-dealing Enlightenment intellectual traditions. Feelin lovingly amplifies what Black women’s ecstatic vocal traditions\, (a)theological re-visionings of the Bible\, and over-seen yet under-heard articulations of rage have to teach us about the life-saving uses of the erotic and the epistemological power of grief\, anger\, and joy.” —Evie Shockley\, author of Renegade Poetics: Black Aesthetics and Formal Innovation in African American Poetry \n“Feelin touches Black women’s arts from the inside parts and excavates its ways and means. Its exquisite craft and searing intelligence documents Black womanist aesthetics. Perhaps the critical text in contemporary womanist studies\, Feelin is archive and practice\, gallery and form . . . a documentary of how we do arts\, endure and expose sciences\, and still compose and create from the graceful space of extraordinarily generous and gifted spirits. This is a sacred gallery. Be still and take your time with Judd’s incandescent Feelin.” —Karla FC Holloway\, author of Passed On: African American Mourning Stories and Gone Missing in Harlem: A Novel (TriQuarterly) \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Reading Douglass Opening Reception

Designed as an interactive installation that invokes the power of reading by recreating a library\, the installation invites us to in the words of Douglass “open ourselves up to the ideas of other people.” Douglass knew how deeply political\, powerful\, and liberating knowledge could be. He always held that through reading “we can begin to see the world in new ways.” This installation provides space for us to explore our own curiosities while learning about how books and reading shaped the life of Frederick Douglass. \nClick Here to RSVP\n

Born in Dorchester County\, Maryland\, 200 years ago — 2022 marks her bicentennial —Tubman escaped north to Philadelphia in 1849\, covering more than 100 miles alone. Once there\, Tubman became involved in the abolitionist movement\, and through the Underground Railroad\, guided an estimated 70 enslaved people to freedom.

Keith M. Brown and Michael English are the executives in charge of production. Harriet Tubman: Visions Of Freedom was written by Paul Taylor\, Nicole London and Marcia Smith.

SUMMARY:Reading The Culture September Author Talk - Shannen Dee Williams\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:Reading The Culture September Author Talk with Shannen Dee Williams\, Ph.D.\nThursday\, September 1\, 2022 | 6 pm – 7:30 pm ET\nVirtual\nFree Admission. Registration required. Space is limited.\n \nAs the Lewis Museum celebrates all things related to reading this fall\, we’re excited to host a stellar collection of authors as they provide insight on books that help us learn about\, grapple with\, and confront the complexities of the issues we face in the world around us. Our September author\, Shannen Dee Williams\, Ph.D.\, joins us to discuss her book\, Subversive Habits: Black Catholic Nuns in the Long African American Freedom Struggle. \nDrawing on oral histories and previously sealed Church records\, Subversive Habits provides the first full history of Black Catholic nuns in the United States\, hailing them as the forgotten prophets of Catholicism and democracy. Williams shows how Black sisters were pioneering religious leaders\, educators\, healthcare professionals\, desegregation foot soldiers\, Black Power activists\, and womanist theologians. In the process\, Williams calls attention to Catholic women’s religious life as a stronghold of white supremacy and racial segregation—and thus an important battleground in the long African American freedom struggle. \nRegister Here \nZoom Webinar

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.
