SUMMARY:Immigrants and Migrants During WWI: Starting New in the Nutmeg State
DESCRIPTION:Today\, about 15% of Connecticut’s population is foreign born\, but on the eve of WWI\, it was nearly 30%. In addition\, large numbers of African-Americans were escaping the Jim Crow South and settling here. How did America’s entry into its first major global conflict affect newcomers to the state? What contributions did those newcomers make to the war effort\, and beyond? \nJoin us for a lively panel discussion about the experiences of three distinct groups of people as they built new lives in CT during a tumultuous time. \nOur panelists are: \nDr. Carol Ascher\, author of A Chance for Land and Fresh Air\, Russian Jewish Immigrants in Sharon and Amenia 1907-1940.  She will discuss the effect of the war and specifically the growing hostility toward Eastern European immigrants on Jewish immigrants in Connecticut. \nDr. Stacey Close\, Associate Vice President for Equity and Diversity at Eastern Connecticut State University\, who will speak to the experience of African-Americans who came to CT as part of the Great Migration. \nDr. Rafaele Fierro\, Professor of History at Tunxis Community College\, who will discuss the role of Italian immigrants and Italian-Americans in the war. \nOur Moderator is Mary Donohue\, Assistant Publisher of Connecticut Explored. \nThe program is free and open to the public\, but please RSVP at (860) 236-5621 x238 or by emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions? Email Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nThrough December 1\, CMCH is collecting personal care items for military service members in partnership with Blue Star Mothers of America. Please pitch in by bringing an item. Learn more here.

SUMMARY:Behind-the-Exhibits Tour: The Making of "Facing War"
DESCRIPTION:Did you ever wonder how museums create exhibits? \nCHS’s Exhibitions team spent months researching WWI and poring through our collection looking for artifacts to help tell the story of Connecticut’s involvement in the Great War. How did they organize all that into Facing War? And what didn’t make it in? \nJoin Exhibitions team members Ben Gammell\, Melissa Traub and Melica Bloom for a “Behind-the-Exhibit” walk-through of Facing War. They’ll reveal how the exhibit came together\, and share some insider information.  How did they choose which historic objects to display?  What went into re-creating a YMCA hut inside the exhibit? They’ll dig deeper into the stories of the individuals whose lives are highlighted in the exhibit: a conscientious objector who was beaten and jailed for his beliefs\, a nurse who contracted influenza while caring for patients\, a civil rights activist-turned-soldier who spoke out against the unequal conditions for black troops\, and more. \nThis program is free with museum admission. Kindly RSVP at (860) 236-5621 x238 or by emailing rsvp@chs.org. Questions? Email Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at natalie_belanger@chs.org or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nThrough December 1\, CMCH is collecting personal care items for military service members in partnership with Blue Star Mothers of America.

SUMMARY:Clashing Cultures: Chinese Boys in Connecticut Homes
DESCRIPTION:Join visiting Seattle Author Dori Jones Yang for fascinating insights into what she learned about Chinese and American cultural values in researching her new book. In the 1870s\, dozens of Connecticut families welcomed to their homes two or more Chinese boys\, sent by their government to America to learn English\, study technology\, and return home to modernize their country. The boys\, some as young as 11\, must have felt extreme culture shock as they learned to love baseball and American ways\, yet they were warned not to become “too American.” \nThat is the dilemma the author captures in her new book\, The Forbidden Temptation of Baseball. For readers aged 10 to 14\, this novel imagines the experience of two fictional Chinese brothers as they try to adapt to life in small-town Connecticut in 1875 without losing their values. Native of Ohio\, former Hong Kong correspondent\, and wife of a Chinese man\, Dori Jones Yang has spent much of her life negotiating the gap between Chinese and American cultures. \nHow well do Americans today welcome foreigners in our midst? And what difficulties are faced by those who try to adapt to our ways? Bring your questions for a lively discussion. \nThis event is free\, but please RSVP to let us know you will attend at (860) 236-5621 x238 or rsvp@chs.org. \n \nDori Jones Yang has written\, co-authored\, compiled\, and translated a wide variety of books\, including historical fiction\, inspiration\, biographies\, oral histories\, and children’s books. A former foreign correspondent in Asia\, she aims to build bridges between cultures and generations. Dori speaks Mandarin Chinese and has dabbled in French\, Cantonese\, Japanese\, Spanish\, German\, Italian\, and Malay. She also seeks joy in playing music\, including piano\, violin\, cello\, and the Chinese zither\, called the guzheng. She has traveled widely throughout the world\, including many parts of China\, Mongolia\, and the Silk Road.

SUMMARY:"I learn my Books well": Child Readers and the Economics of Cultural Change in New England\, 1765-1815
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Amy Breimaier\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium Fellow and University of Massachusetts Amherst Ph.D. Candidate studying historical children’s literature\, readership practices\, and childhood studies. \nHer  brown bag talk will examine how\, thanks to the collections of New England’s archives\, a growing literature on nineteenth-century child readers exists. However\, few studies capture the ractices and attitudes of child readers\, their families and teachers\, and the printers and booksellers who served them during the tumultuous period from 1765 through 1815 in New England. As a result\, scholars have not fully accounted for the cultural and economic factors that led individuals to engage in the new print market of juvenile literature and to invest in new educational institutions that developed during this period. My dissertation\, “‘I learn my Books well’: Child Readers and the Economics of Cultural Change in New England\, 1765-1815\,” offers a nuanced understanding of how cultural change occurred during this period as New Englanders were faced with social\, cultural\, political\, and economic upheavals that challenged them to reconcile their Calvinist traditions with emerging cultures of sensibility and refinement. \nAt the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, Breimaier will examine a number of collections pertaining to the state’s printers\, booksellers\, and schools. These include the papers of the Babcock Family\, Samuel Loudon\, the Deming and Francis Family\, the Gilman Family\, the Bunnell Family\, the Wethersfield First School Society\, the Norwich School\, the Hartford First School District\, and the records of Plymouth (Conn.) pertaining to school attendance and finances. In addition to these collections\,she also plans to study some of the inscribed juvenile literature and personal writings of young people from this period. These include Caroline Holley’s 1800 copy of A short but comprehensive system of the geography of the world\, and the papers of the Brainard and Foote Family\, Mason Fitch Cogswell\, the Ebenezer Punderson Family\, Lydia Huntley Sigourney\, and Selden Warner. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert\, feel free to bring your brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by June 14 and indicate the program name and date by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Disciplining Freedom: Union Army Slave Rebels and Emancipation in the Civil War Courts-Martial
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Jonathan Lande\, New England Regional Fellowship Consortium Fellow and Brown Ph.D. Candidate studying African American history\, the U.S. Civil War\, and American legal and constitutional history. \nHis brown bag talk will ask why did thousands of black soldiers desert from the Union Army and mutiny? One possibility is that freed slaves found life in the army little better than life as a slave and sought freedom from both. Military service was just one step in the emancipation process. Moving away from triumphalist narratives\, my project\, “Disciplining Freedom\,” offers a new interpretation of emancipation within the Union army.  Lande recalibrates military service within a transatlantic context as a form of labor\, not a patriotic endeavor\, where former slaves went from laboring in cotton fields to laboring as Union soldiers. Many freedmen found soldiering no more liberating because of stringent army discipline exacerbated by anti-black racism. As a result of what they understood as reenslavement\, thousands of former slaves rebelled\, many with the help of their wives\, yet defined as criminals under military law\, the men were tried as deserters and mutineers. Their travails reveal that emancipation was not merely legal-status change; rather\, emancipation was a transition from one forced labor regime to another that freedmen resisted yet failed to overcome. Lande will be reviewing the African American and Civil War collections at the CMCH to further his research. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert\, feel free to bring your brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by May 25 and indicate the program name and date by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org.

SUMMARY:Coins and Tokens of Connecticut: Higley Coppers
DESCRIPTION:We invite CMCH members to join us for a brown bag lunch talk with Jim Rosen\, President of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club\, a worldwide group of numismatists focused on pre-Federal coins used in the earliest days of the United States. Dr. Rosen has spent many years volunteering at the CMCH to catalog our coin and currency collections. Recently retired from his medical practice focusing on pediatric and adult allergies\, he has helped to curate the display of Higley Coppers and Early Coins in our Nawrot History Nook. \nHis brown bag talk will focus on the extremely rare Higley Coppers in the CMCH collection and other significant coins and tokens from 1737-1785 in the collection. The first coins (or tokens) in the Colony of Connecticut were minted in 1737 and 1739  by Samuel Higley of Granby\, Connecticut. They were not officially authorized by the General Assembly of Connecticut\, but rather struck for apparently personal reasons.  They are very rare and hence quite valuable.  In 1785\, the General Assembly of the State of Connecticut did authorize the minting of copper coins in New Haven.  These coins were minted from 1785-1788 and were struck with over 360 varieties known. Unlike the Higley coppers\, they are quite plentiful and not rare. A discussion of the important examples in the CMCH collection will offer the seasoned numismatist and budding coin collector insight into the history of coins in Connecticut. \nWe will provide coffee and dessert\, feel free to bring your brown bag lunch to enjoy during the talk. Please RSVP by May 13 and indicate the program name and date by calling (860) 236-5621 x238 or emailing rsvp@chs.org.
