SUMMARY:Vision & Spirit | African American Art: Works from the Bank of America Collection
DESCRIPTION:Vision & Spirit | African American Art: Works from the Bank of America Collection \nOctober 5\, 2023 – January 15\, 2024 \nVision & Spirit | African American Art: Works from the Bank of America Collection is composed of more than 100 paintings\, prints\, drawings\, photographs\, and mixed-media works by 48 artists born in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The exhibition highlights key aspects of these artists’ lives\, as well as the important objects they created. Vision & Spirit focuses on these talented individuals’ strength and spirit as creative forces whose work continues to shape our understanding of the world. \nThe wide variety of artists represented in the exhibition look forward\, contribute to progress and guide the visitor toward greater equity and understanding. The theme of Vision & Spirit is resilience and demonstrates how African American artists have embodied this quality in their work. The exhibition explores the meaning of resilience: Is it perseverance? Is it staying power\, or is it something much deeper? Resilience embodies strength and humanity. \nArtists in the exhibition include Henry Clay Anderson\, Chelle Barbour\, Romare Bearden\, Dawoud Bey\, Willie Cole\, Murry DePillars\, Jacob Lawrence\, Whitfield Lovell\, Gordon Parks\, Faith Ringgold\, Jamel Shabazz\, and James VanDerZee. \nArtists have always mattered. Whether it’s Lorna Simpson\, whose work challenges narrow\, conventional views of identity\, history and memory using the African American woman as a visual point of departure\, or Dewey Crumpler\, whose examinations of the lure of contemporary pop culture in his mixed-media works explore global consumer capitalism\, they inspire other artists to push forward and develop new ideas. \nVision & Spirit inspires viewers to go on a journey of revelation and discovery. Passion\, ingenuity\, and beauty are brought forth by the creative geniuses in this exhibition. Art is a two-way conversation; viewing art is not a passive act. The artist speaks through their work\, and\, by way of their experience\, the viewer has the opportunity and privilege to listen\, reflect and to be transformed. \nPlan Your Visit\n

SUMMARY:MLK Author Talk: King A Life with Jonathan Eig
DESCRIPTION:MLK Author Talk: King A Life with Jonathan Eig\nSaturday\, January 13 | 2 pm – 3:30 pm \nFREE EVENT \nJoin Reginald F. Lewis Museum President Terri Lee Freeman and  bestselling author Jonathan Eig in conversation on his monumental new biography of Martin Luther King\, Jr.  \nVividly written and exhaustively researched\, Jonathan Eig’s King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.―and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world\, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife\, father\, and fellow activists. \nEig reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods\, a citizen hunted by his own government\, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham\, Selma\, and Memphis\, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father―as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr. \nIn this landmark biography\, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker\, a brilliant strategist\, and a committed radical who led one of history’s greatest movements\, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime. \nA book signing will follow. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:KING DAY 2024
DESCRIPTION:KING DAY\nCANCELED?: Due to inclement weather\, King Day has been canceled for the safety of our visitors and staff. Please be safe and stay warm today! \n\nCelebrating Dr. King and Maryland’s Year of Civil Rights through music\, art\, storytelling and virtual reality in connection as we close the exhibition\, Vision & Spirit | African American Art: Works from the Bank of America Collection.  Enjoy an artist talk with NMAAHC Curator Aaron Bryant on civil rights photojournalists who documented Dr. King and other landmark moments  from this era. Reflect on the movement with a choral performance from the Carter Legacy Singers\, a community-based ensemble comprised of Dr. Nathan Carter’s alumni singers from Morgan State University.  Families can learn more about the Montgomery Bus Boycott through mother-and-son storytellers\, “Dr. Mama” Deborah Pierce-Fakunle and Dr. David Fakunle. Participate in an  I Am  A Man virtual reality experience to explore the Memphis Sanitation Workers protests and their aftermath. Hear a  panel discussion reflecting on Dr. King and pivotal moments in the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Maryland community civil rights leaders. Participants include:  Rev. Dr. Ruby Reese Moone\, Charles Mason\, Leo Burroughs Jr.\, Lisa  Mitchell Sennaar and Simone R. Barrett (Moderator). July 2\, 1964  marks the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. \nThe day concludes with a screening of the documentaries Disruption: Highway to Nowhere and Eroding History and a panel discussion with the films’ producers and policy makers as they consider the equalizing factor of environmental injustice and its impacts on Black Marylanders in urban and rural settings. Produced by journalist and documentarian Sean Yoes\, Disruption: Highway to Nowhere explores Baltimore’s infamous Highway 40 and the damage its construction wrought upon West Baltimore\, once considered one of several of America’s most vibrant Black communities that were irreparably disrupted and damaged by 20th century federal highway projects. \nEroding History tells the story of two Black communities on Deal Island\, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore\, that are finding themselves at the intersection of sea level rise\, historic racism\, and the disappearance of Black communities. It is a climate justice story\, made by two Black filmmakers – Yoes and Andre Chung – and a Jewish grandchild of refugees\, Rona Kobell. A deeply personal and moving story of a community striving to hold on to its culture\, Eroding History is anything but dry. \n

SUMMARY:In Conversation | Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers Author Talk with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Jazzmen Lee-Johnson & Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:In Conversation | Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers Author Talk with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi & Jazzmen Lee-Johnson\nModerated by Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead\nTuesday\, January 23rd | 6:30pm to 8pm – Doors open at 6pm\nAdmission: $20 for Members | $25 for Non-Members\nAdmission includes a copy of the book\n\nJoin The Reginald F. Lewis Museum for an inspiring discussion with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi on his brand new release Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers with Jazzmen Lee-Johnson\, Illustrator\, and moderated by WEAA 88.9 FM’s Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead. In the first middle grade offering from Zora Neale Hurston and Ibram X. Kendi\, young readers are introduced to the remarkable and true-life story of Cudjo Lewis\, one of the last survivors of the Atlantic human trade\, in an adaptation of the internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed Barracoon. This is the life story of Cudjo Lewis\, as told by himself. Of the millions of men\, women\, and children transported from Africa to America to be enslaved\, eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis was then the only person alive to tell the story of his capture and bondage—fifty years after the Atlantic human trade was outlawed in the United States. Cudjo shared his firsthand account with legendary folklorist\, anthropologist\, and writer Zora Neale Hurston. \nAdapted with care and delivered with age-appropriate historical context by award-winning historian Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Cudjo’s incredible story is now available for young readers and emerging scholars. With powerful illustrations by Jazzmen Lee-Johnson\, this poignant work is an invaluable contribution to our shared history and culture. \nJazzmen Lee-Johnson is a visual artist\, scholar\, composer\, and curator. Her practice centers on the interplay of animation\, printmaking\, music\, and dance\, informed by a yearning to understand how our current circumstance is tethered to the trauma of the past. Through her visual\, sonic\, and movement investigations across time and technology she disrupts and asserts ideas of history\, body\, liberation\, and otherness. Above all\, she is interested in redistributing the privileges that allow her to maintain her creative and scholarly practice. \nShe received her BFA in Film\, Animation\, and Video at RISD\, her MA in Public Humanities at Brown University\, and a heavy dose of education working with youth in Baltimore\, South Africa\, India\, New York City and Providence. She has curated exhibitions at the Chinese University of Hong Kong; Artist Proof Studio and the ABSA Art Gallery in Johannesburg\, South Africa; RISD Museum; and Brown University Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice\, where she was also a Public History of Slavery Fellow.  \nAs the 2019 inaugural Artist in Residence at the Rhode Island Department of Health she utilized the arts to confront health disparities. She was the 2020 Artist Fellow at the RISD Museum making work in response to the collection. As a 2022 Fitt Artist-in-Residence at the John Nicholas Brown Center for Humanities and Cultural Heritage at Brown University\, she created Not Never More a visual remix of the historic wallpaper Les Vues D’amérique Du Nord. At the 150th Anniversary of the Colfax Massacre she designed the Colfax Massacre Memorial—etched in granite\, it honors and centers the stories of the Black victims of the tragedy. She is the illustrator of Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon\, adapted for young readers by Ibram X Kendi. \nPurchase Tickets
