SUMMARY:Maryland Emancipation Author Talk: Combee: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War with Dr. Edda L. Fields - Black
DESCRIPTION:Maryland Emancipation Author Talk: Combee: Harriet Tubman\, the Combahee River Raid\, and Black Freedom during the Civil War with Dr. Edda L. Fields – Black \nNovember 1 | 6:30 pm | Teachers/Members (Free); Non-Member: $10 \nCelebrate Maryland Emancipation Day\, an additional Freedom Day besides Juneteenth\,  with a book talk and book signing  on Maryland freedom shero Harriet Tubman with Dr. Edda L. Fields – Black with her latest book. Guests can also  mingle with light refreshments at our wine and cheese bar during this epic evening book talk.  \nEducators are encouraged to attend.Most Americans know of Harriet Tubman’s legendary life: escaping enslavement in 1849\, she led more than 60 others out of bondage via the Underground Railroad\, gave instructions on getting to freedom to scores more\, and went on to live a lifetime fighting for change. Yet the many biographies\, children’s books\, and films about Tubman omit a crucial chapter: during the Civil War\, hired by the Union Army\, she ventured into the heart of slave territory–Beaufort\, South Carolina–to live\, work\, and gather intelligence for a daring raid up the Combahee River to attack the major plantations of Rice Country\, the breadbasket of the Confederacy. \nEdda L. Fields-Black–herself a descendent of one of the participants in the raid–shows how Tubman commanded a ring of spies\, scouts\, and pilots and participated in military expeditions behind Confederate lines. Fields-Black has worked as a consultant at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture\, the International African American Museum\, and the Senator John Heinz History Center. She teaches history at Carnegie Mellon University and serves as Director of the Dietrich College Humanities Center. \nRegister Here\n

SUMMARY:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion \nThursday\, July 25\, 6:30 pm | General Admission $10 / MEMBERS FREE \nTo the world\, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius\, unparalleled success\, and unassailable character. To Sharon\, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome\, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private\, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.  \nJoin the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for a screening of the Emmy-winning documentary (2023) exploring the life and legacy of Louis Armstrong through his relationship with the daughter that the public never knew existed.  Based on a revealing memoir written by Armstrong’s silent daughter\, the film seeks to correct a historical narrative relying on caricature for too long. A discussion with his daughter\, Sharon Preston-Folta  will follow.  Sharon Preston – Folta is the Executive Producer and  Writer to Little Satcmo. Sharon became a published author with her memoir “Living in The Shadow of my Father\, Louis Daniel Armstrong” in 2012\, which made public the private family life of Louis Armstrong. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Black Women Genius Conversations Art & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Black Women Genius Conversations Art & Healing \nSaturday\, May 18 | 2 pm – 3 pm   \nEnjoy a roundtable conversation exploring Black women identity through the contemporary works of Black Women Genius fiber artists  Aliana Grace Bailey\, Murjoni Merriweather and Nastassja Swift. These artists will discuss how their soft sculptural and woven installations become transformative narratives embracing healing and love for Black women and Black culture.  \nAliana Grace Bailey’s art is a powerful journey of self-discovery\, celebrating Black womanhood\, and honoring the sacred aspects of life. Through her creative expressions\, she weaves intricate narratives using vibrant colors and environments\, inviting viewers to join her on a path of self-awareness.Through her work\, she weaves layers of interconnection\, comfort\, and storytelling. Her art beautifully juxtaposes notions of beauty\, optimism\, and\, at times\, the harsh realities of life. Aliana Grace Bailey’s creations are a testament to the power of art as a transformative and healing force. \nMurjoni Merriweather’s art is a response to and a rejection of these negative stereotypes about Blackness\, both within and outside the Black community. It involves dismantling European beauty standards imposed on Black people while promoting and normalizing Black culture. Embracing their hair\, skin\, and features without shame\, her artwork celebrates various facets of Black culture\, from hair and grills to nail art. \nNastassja Swift is an artist who specializes in making sculptures using wool. She creates soft sculptures that tell stories about history\, women\, spirituality\, and community connected to the human body.She gets inspiration from West African masks and Yoruba rituals\, using techniques like needle felting and working with fibers to bring her ideas to life.Her portraits challenge traditional ideas of who we celebrate\, question historical accounts\, and share Black people’s rich experiences and memories. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Felt Memories | 2D Needle Felting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Felt Memories | 2D Needle Felting Workshop \nSaturday\, May 18 | 11 am to 1 pm | Museum Admission \nWhen was the last time you looked through that box of old family and childhood photos? In this workshop\, we will source imagery from some of our most fondest memories to recreate a two-dimensional felted portrait with wool. Using a piece of felt fabric to size\, we will apply transfer methods to allow for an exact fiber replica of the original photo. Then\, with a specific set of needles\, we will add all the details needed to bring these moments to life. Once completed\, you’ll leave this workshop with a hand crafted retelling of a story you once lived. This fiber art workshop is facilitated by Black Women Genius artist\, Nastassja Swift.  This workshop is open to all ages. This workshop has limited space. \nNOTE: All materials are provided\, though you will need a physical copy of your image. \nPurchase Tickets
