Film: Tell Me More and Then Some
2019-04-20 14:00 UTC
This film explores the history of American jazz in Baltimore as well as the current state of Baltimore’s jazz scene. Visitors will view footage of jazz greats Eubie Blake, Chick Webb, Billie Holiday, Ethel Ennis and more. The film challenges the idea that “Baltimore’s jazz scene died along with the Royal Theatre and Pennsylvania Ave.” Instead, the film demonstrates that the city is still producing amazing culture and jazz with musicians like Gary Bartz, Cyrus Chestnut, Dontae Winslow, Lafayette Gilchrist and Warren Wolf Jr. A post discussion with film producer Jeff Finch, jazz personality Gary Ellerbe and local musicians will follow. This program will begin with a musical salute to Ethel Ennis by musicians Greg Hatza and Marleen Ross.

This is the definitive chronicle of the three years since the Uprising of April 2015, sparked by the death of Freddie Carlos Gray, Jr., while in the custody of the Baltimore Police Department (BPD), April 19, 2015. Baltimore After Freddie Gray, goes beyond the sensational headlines connected to the findings of the searing Department of Justice report on the BPD, the nefarious deeds of the disgraced Gun Trace Task Force and the murder of Baltimore Homicide Det. Sean Suiter, and provides the informed insights only a native son of West Baltimore can provide. Sean Yoes is the Baltimore Editor of the AFRO American Newspapers and an author of the “Race and Politics” column.

Author Talk: The College Completion Glass – Half Full or Half – Empty? Exploring the Value of Post Secondary Education by Tiffany Beth Mfume, PhD.Saturday , March 9, 1 pm
Despite the Great Recession and looming “student loan debt crisis”, college education remains the most proven, invaluable lifetime investment and serves as the most reliable path to upward mobility and socioeconomic class reassignment. Mfume suggests that “the value added” of even one year of college can be trans-formative. As higher education professionals and partners continue to advocate for new and improved college retention and graduation measures, The College Completion Glass—Half-Full or Half-Empty? presents a new paradigm for higher education, one that focuses on “the value added” of post secondary education as well as on student success beyond the traditional measure of college graduation rates.
Dr. Tiffany Beth Mfume is the Assistant Vice President for Student Success and Retention at Morgan State University where her leadership has helped to promote ten point increases in both retention and graduation rates.

By the time of his death in 1988, Romare Bearden was most widely celebrated for his large-scale public murals and collages, which evoked the black experience in America. As Mary Schmidt Campbell shows us in this immersive biography, the relationship between art and race was central to his life and work. Campbell, who met Bearden in the 1970s, was among the first to compile a catalog of his works. A book-signing of this new release will follow the talk. Campbell is President of Spelman College and Dean Emerita of the Tisch School of the Arts.
