SUMMARY:Museum Message: The Lewis Museum Family Mourns the Passing of Rev. Dr. Bowyer G. Freeman
DESCRIPTION:THE LEWIS MUSEUM FAMILY MOURNS THE PASSING OF REV. DR. BOWYER G. FREEMAN \n \nThe Board and Staff of the Reginald F. Lewis Museum extend our deepest condolences to our executive director Terri Lee Freeman at the passing of her husband\, Rev. Dr. Bowyer G. Freeman\, Senior Pastor of the New St. Mark Baptist Church. A dedicated and ardent champion for equity and justice\, he was a groundbreaking leader in the State of Maryland and noted advocate for many of the same values upon which the Reginald F. Lewis Museum was founded. He was not only a respected member of the faith and civil rights communities in the Greater Baltimore region and the State\, but he was also a loving husband\, father and grandfather. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Freeman family. \nAt the family’s request\, donations in lieu of flowers may be made to Associated Black Charities\, an organization for which Rev. Dr. Freeman formerly served as board chair. Click HERE to make your donation today. \nAs Terri navigates this time of bereavement\, we believe the best way to support her is to carry forward with meeting the mission of the Lewis Museum\, one which has been close to the hearts of the Freemans who were among the first supporters of the Museum in 2005. During her absence\, the leadership team she has worked tirelessly to assemble will execute her vision\, presenting programming and exhibitions which celebrate the lives and contributions of African American Marylanders to the state’s rich history and culture.  \nW. Drew Hawkins\nChair\, Board of Directors\nThe Reginald F. Lewis Museum \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk: Reclamation: Sally Hemings\, Thomas Jefferson\, and a Descendant's Search for Her Family's Lasting Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Click the Link Below To Access the Goto Webinar Platform: \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8255944060593335820 \nJoin the Reginald F. Lewis Museum in conversation with author Gayle Jessup White\, as she discusses her book\, Reclamation: Sally Hemings\, Thomas Jefferson\, and a Descendant’s Search for Her Family’s Legacy. \nA Black descendant of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings’ family explores America’s racial reckoning through the prism of her ancestors—both the enslaver and the enslaved. Gayle Jessup White had long heard the stories passed down from her father’s family\, that they were direct descendants of Thomas Jefferson—lore she firmly believed\, though others did not. For four decades the acclaimed journalist and genealogy enthusiast researched her connection to Thomas Jefferson\, to confirm its truth once and for all. In Reclamation she chronicles her remarkable journey to definitively understand her heritage and reclaim it\, and offers a compelling portrait of what it means to be a black woman in America\, to pursue the American dream\, to reconcile the legacy of racism\, and to ensure the nation lives up to the ideals advocated by her legendary ancestor. \nGayle Jessup White is the Public Relations & Community Engagement Officer at Monticello\, Thomas Jefferson’s legendary estate. A former award-winning television reporter and anchor\, Jessup White started her career at the New York Times. She’s written and spoken extensively about her work at Monticello. She is a direct Jefferson descendant\, and is also related to two well-documented families enslaved at Monticello—the Hemingses and the Hubbards. She lives in Virginia. \nIn conjuction to Bodies of Information: Understanding Slavery through the Stearns Collection. \nTo Register Click Here.

SUMMARY:Commentary from RFLM Executive Director Terri L. Freeman - Truth Tellers and Culture Keepers: Champions for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Truth Tellers and Culture Keepers: Champions for Justice\nOn Friday\, November 19\, 2021\, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of killing two\, and shooting another protester in Kenosha\, Wisconsin. The Rittenhouse verdict has been delivered mere weeks before the verdict in the Ahmaud Arbery case which many of us are also awaiting. At times like these I’m reminded of James Baldwin’s observation that\, “To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost\, almost all of the time – and in one’s work.” But how does that translate when our work is grounded in the history\, art\, and culture of people of African descent? What is the work of history and cultural keepers at a moment like this? \nMuseums serve as a record of the past\, we are truth tellers and narrators of a cultural story that\, not captured\, simply disappears from our collective memory. Our role serves as a form of justice. Accurately interpreting\, preserving\, and educating about history and culture is a form of justice\, one that takes fortitude and focus because our work is foundational to the principles that help strengthen many folks who are committed to racial equity\, and especially for people of African descent in this country. As we witness and hear the influx of commentary – much of it inaccurately portraying the history of race in this country\, or invoking critical race theory (often improperly)\, or negotiating yet again the realities of Black life in this country – I hope we each find windows to healthily process and reflect. \nAlice Walker tells us “there is wealth in anger\,” so if we are deeply wounded and angry about history’s cruel repetitions\, we might be guided by Baldwin and Walker to put that anger into the passion for our work\, into sharpening our clarity around why and how our work as history and culture keepers matters\, and in renewing and fortifying our commitment that Black history\, Black culture\, Black expression\, Black art\, Black joy\, Black safety\, Black life\, and Black people matter; every single day. That\,ultimately\, racial equity matters for all people. Our work matters because at moments like this\, when we see white supremacy at work yet again in the judicial system – and when we are on tinder hooks awaiting a verdict in a case in which a literal law borne out of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act is being used to justify the killing of a Black man jogging – our work serves to remind people of the roads we have traveled before and have survived. But not only does our work remind people of African descent of the constant work that we have done to make this country “a more perfect union\,” but our history and culture serves as a model to all people in the country. Our work pushes back against the “great temptation to simplify the issues.” We help people understand how this complex nuanced thing called race in America is not and has never been simple. We provide nuance. We provide models. We provide context. We provide history that offers roadmaps as we find ourselves in the midst of a third wave of the Civil Rights Movement (a movement that never truly ended). \nThis is why the work of Reginald F. Lewis Museum provide is so important.  This is why we work with the Baltimore Police Department;’s cadet corp to increase understanding that is based not simply on feelings\, but on facts.  This is why we seek to train teachers on how they teach difficult history\, to provide them with the support and resources to transfer knowledge to the next generation.  This is why we host dialogues\, debates and present thought leaders to introduce topics that often go unmentioned\, or worse are discussed inaccurately like critical race theory. This is why the musuem’s historical memory is necessary to be both preserved and expanded. \nPoet and scholar Audre Lorde was quick to remind us that “care of the self was not self-indulgence\,” but rather an act of self-preservation. In the face of messages without care and seeming disregard for racial equity and Black life\, may we who think and work as history and cultural keepers do what we need to care for ourselves and our diverse galaxies (family\, friends\, communities) as an act of self-preservation.

SUMMARY:The Other Madison\, The Lost History of a President's Black Family- Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:This program begins at 7 pm EST. \n11/18/21 – If you have not already register to this event\, please register directly onto  the GoToWebinar link: \nhttps://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/171232862293913104 \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. \nCelebrate Maryland Emancipation (November 1\, 1864) this month with a book talk with author Bettye Kearse discussing her family connection to U. S. President James Madison.  \nFor thousands of years\, West African griots (men) and griottes (women) have recited the stories of their people. Without this tradition Bettye Kearse would not have known that she is a descendant of President James Madison and his slave\, and half-sister\, Coreen. In 1990\, Bettye became the eighth-generation griotte for her family. Their credo—“Always remember—you’re a Madison. You come from African slaves and a president”—was intended to be a source of pride\, but for her\, it echoed with abuses of slavery\, including rape and incest.  Confronting those abuses\, Bettye embarked on a journey of discovery—of her ancestors\, the nation\, and herself. She learned that wherever African slaves walked\, recorded history silenced their voices and buried their footsteps: beside a slave-holding fortress in Ghana; below a federal building in New York City; and under a brick walkway at James Madison’s Virginia plantation. When Bettye tried to confirm the information her ancestors had passed down\, she encountered obstacles at every turn. Part personal quest\, part testimony\, part historical correction\, The Other Madisons is the saga of an extraordinary American family told by a griotte in search of the whole story \nThe short film\, The Other Madison will be screened before the book talk moderated by ICE Director\, Dr. Izetta Autumn Mobley. \nBettye Kearse is a writer and retired pediatrician. Her writing has appeared in the Boston Herald\, TIME Magazine\, River Teeth\, Zora\, and the anthology Black Lives Have Always Mattered\, among other places. The Other Madisons received the International Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Book Award for Nonfiction\, Autobiography. Her research for The Other Madisons was covered in the Washington Post. She lives in New Mexico. \nTo register\, CLICK HERE. Free event. \nIn conjunction with Bodies of Information: Understanding Slavery through the Stearns Collection.

SUMMARY:The Jazz Age Gala - Postponed
DESCRIPTION:NEW COVID-19 Update: The Jazz Age GALA has been postponed. For more information contact: jasmin.alston@lewismuseum.org \nOn October 23\, the Lewis Museum will open the season with the black-tie event we have all been waiting for. The Jazz Age Gala will deliver an exciting evening of entertainment created for your enjoyment. It will be a feast for the senses! \n \n  \n  \n  \nWhere: The Lewis Museum\n830 E. Pratt Street  \nTime: 7-11 PM  \nAttire: Black Tie \nIndividual tickets available September 7\, 2021 \nTHE JAZZ AGE\nThe Jazz Age was a cultural period and movement that took place in America during the 1920s from which new styles of music\, dance and art deco architecture were born. The birth of jazz music is credited to African Americans who migrated from New Orleans to major northern cities leading to a wider dispersal of jazz as different styles.  \nTake Aways: \n\nThe Jazz Age was a post-World War I movement in the 1920s from which jazz music and dance emerged. \nFemale singers such as Bessie Smith emerged during this period of postwar equality\, paving the way for future female artists\nThe Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age were personified by unconventional clothing and progressive attitude by woman. \nThe birth of jazz music is credited to African Americans\, but both black and white Americans alike are responsible for its immense rise in popularity.\nThe rise of jazz coincided with the rise of radio broadcast and recording technology\, which spawned the popular “potter palm” shows that included big-band jazz performances.\n\n

SUMMARY:Unmarked Film Screening and Discussion - In Person Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nProgram begins at 1 pm. \nMuch of America’s rich history is being lost to time. In the South\, vast amounts of African-American grave sites and burial grounds for enslaved persons have been disappearing over the years. In Virginia alone\, stories of thousands at rest could vanish from history altogether if these locations are not restored. Those with personal connections to these burial sites have recently begun to uncover and maintain locations across the state. However\, there is much work to be done in order to preserve this part of America’s history. Unmarked not only explores these untold stories of the past but also the efforts underway to preserve them. \nJoin Co-Director and Archival Expert Chris Haley for a film screening of Unmarked (40 minutes) followed with a post discussion.  Chris Haley is the Director of the Study of the Legacy of Slavery at the Maryland State Archives Research Department. Unmarked Film Trailer \n  \nIf you would like to register for this event\, but would prefer to pay in-person\, please contact the Visitor Services Desk (443) 263 – 1875. To Pay Online\, CLICK HERE. \nIn conjunction with Bodies of Information: Understanding Slavery through the Stearns Collection.

SUMMARY:Bodies of Information: Understanding Slavery through the Stearns Collection
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening Weekend:  \nBodies of Information: Understanding Slavery through the Stearns Collection \nOctober 1\, 2021 – January 4\, 2022 \nBodies of Information: Understanding Slavery through the Stearns Collection explores how archives help us tell nuanced stories of slavery. The exhibit features select items from the Stearns Collection\, an 87-piece collection spanning more than 100 years\, painstakingly collected by Herbert Stearns. Through this exhibit we can examine how people – from researchers\, educators\, and historians to students and family genealogists – use documents to confront the complicated role that slavery played in American life. By looking closely at the newspapers\, images\, ads\, and bills of sale from the period\, we see how slavery existed in every part of life in the United States. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: Tell Our Story: A Tribute to Robert Houston
DESCRIPTION:Tell Our Story\, A Tribute to Robert Houston is an assemblage of photographs and photographers whose narratives are grounded in compassion and empathy yet focused on contemporary social commentary.  As a grouping\, the works share similar stories and methods chronicling a collective history. The exhibition is grounded in Houston’s sense of humanity as seen through various portraitures and expands into the photo documentation of the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign and Resurrection City where he lived for six weeks documenting the daily lives and activities he saw on the National Mall. Devin Allen and J.M. Giordano\, both Baltimore based photographers\, spent time with Houston\, discussing the importance of community\, building relationships with the subject matter\, timing and patience in crafting an image as a social statement. Their contributed images document the beauty and struggle of everyday life\, the 2018 Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival\, the Freddie Gray uprising and Black Lives Matter protests in Baltimore. While not directly influenced by Robert Houston\, Dee Dwyer\, a DC photo biographer\, captures the essence and appreciation of community while weaving multi-level narratives. Her images celebrate urban life and record stories of protest and change with grace and humanity\, forwarding the legacy of the stylistic perspective of Robert Houston.
