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.
