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: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: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
