SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn:  Connecticut Political Figures and the Chinese Exclusion Act
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual presentation by Judge Henry Cohn as he discusses his research on the opposition to the Chinese Exclusion Acts by two Connecticut Senators and one Massachusetts Senator. \nCongress passed statutes in the late 1880’s that discriminated against Chinese immigrants. The two sitting U.S. Senators from Connecticut\, Joseph Roswell Hawley and Orville Hitchcock Platt\, and Massachusetts Senator George Frisbie Hoar\, closely tied to Connecticut\, unsuccessfully opposed passage of these statutes. The Senators’ opposition\, while an initial failure in the U.S. Senate\, formed the basis for the repeal of these statutes in 1943. \nThese Senators formed friendships with the adults and met the students from the Chinese Educational Mission\, a cultural and educational exchange program headquartered in Hartford. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register! When you do\, you’ll get an emailed receipt with an attached “ticket” — the Zoom link is in that ticket! \nThe Chinese Educational Mission is the subject of our current exhibition\, Journeys 旅途: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission. Visit us in person\, or click the link to see a virtual 3D tour. And if podcasts are your thing\, listen to our exhibition staff talk about how the exhibition came together\, and the new discoveries that inspired it\, on Grating the Nutmeg: The Podcast of Connecticut History.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: My Dearest Darling -- Letters of Love in War Time
DESCRIPTION:U.S. naval officer Donald Storey was not just fighting for his country in World War II—he was fighting to come home to his love\, Margery. The letters the couple wrote to each other became their lifeline\, providing comfort in a time of constant uncertainty. In Lisa Franco’s book\, My Dearest Darling: Letters of Love in Wartime\, Donald’s and Margery’s intimate correspondence not only offers a heartwarming account of their romance and personal sacrifices\, but also shines a light on historical events as they unfolded overseas and at home. In this virtual presentation\, Lisa will discuss her discovery of the letters and her research for the book. \nFranco stumbled upon the lost letters during a fateful stop at a Cape Cod antique shop. What started as a curiosity became\, with each subsequent letter\, an obsession with finding the couple’s family\, learning their history\, and ultimately\, discovering what happened to them after the war. With their family’s help\, as well as other historical resources\, Franco maps the couple’s life during their five-year-long separation and ensures that no aspect of this enduring love story is left behind. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public.  Click here to register through Yapsody. You’ll get a confirmation email and the Zoom link will be in the attached ticket. You’ll also receive a reminder email with the Zoom link the morning of the event. \nQuestions? Contact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nAbout the Speaker \nLisa Franco has been telling people’s stories for more than four decades. As a writer/producer for the ABC television affiliate WTNH 8 in New Haven\, Connecticut\, she earned multiple Emmy nominations and journalism awards for her documentaries. She also served as public affairs director for the station before she became the state communications director for one of the largest nonprofit organizations in the country. While Lisa’s background includes marketing\, media relations\, and public relations\, these days she is a freelance writer and owner of Over the Moon Vintage\, an online collectibles shop. Lisa’s parents were members of the Greatest Generation\, and her father\, Nino Maurizi\, was a World War II Army Air Corps veteran. She attributes this to her interest in the war and the loving relationships that developed during that period in our history. Lisa and her husband\, Joe\, live in Connecticut and Cape Cod and are the proud parents of their sixth rescue dog\, Maggie.

SUMMARY:Stepping Forth Into the World: The Story of the Xu Brothers
DESCRIPTION:Our exhibition\, Journeys\, tells the story of the students who participated in the Chinese Educational Mission (CEM). In this program\, Henry Qu\, who contributed his research and translation skills to the exhibition\, will tell the story of three students\, the remarkable Xu brothers. Qu will place the brothers’ story into the larger context of world history and reveal how the brothers’ lives became part of a complicated tangle of international exchange. \nAfter the First Opium War (1840-1842)\, Britain and other countries forced the Qing court to open to foreign trade through international treaties. Collaborating with Chinese merchants\, foreign traders ventured deeply into Inland China\, created enormous wealth\, and brought drastic changes to the life of millions. The Xu family is among these merchants. As the first group of Chinese who started to re-examine the world in the late 19th century\, their family members left footprints in China\, the United Kingdom\, and the United States. Three of the Xu boys came to the United States with CEM\, spending some of their teenage years studying and living abroad. Some of their home letters are still preserved by CMCH\, shedding light on the family’s story and history. This is a story of self-made entrepreneurs\, a story of international exchange\, and a story of personal struggles under the tide of history. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register! When you do\, you’ll get an emailed receipt with an attached “ticket” — the Zoom link is in that ticket! \nThe Chinese Educational Mission is the subject of our current exhibition\, Journeys 旅途: Boys of the Chinese Educational Mission. Visit us in person\, or click the link to see a virtual 3D tour. And if podcasts are your thing\, listen to our exhibition staff talk about how the exhibition came together\, and the new discoveries that inspired it\, on Grating the Nutmeg: The Podcast of Connecticut History. \nQuestions? Contact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Henry Qu is a Data Scientist at Indigo Agriculture and National Turfgrass Evaluation Program. While his main research focuses on data analysis and modeling in agricultural commodity prices\, sustainability\, and turfgrass cultivar evaluation\, he is also interested in history\, especially in the immigration history of Chinese Americans. Following the legacy of the Chinese Educational Mission\, Dr. Qu came to the United States as an international student. Graduated from Rutgers University\, Dr. Qu received his master’s degree in Statistics and doctorate in Plant Breeding. He has released 5 turfgrass cultivars\, published 5 journal articles\, 12 conference papers\, and 1 book chapter. \n

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: The Neurocolorline -- Locating Black Autism and Black Neurodivergence in the Archives
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a virtual discussion by Dr. Diana Paulin. The title of Dr. Diana Paulin’s talk borrows from W.E.B.’s 1903 scholarly study in which he contends that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line- the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa\, in America and the islands of the sea” (The Souls of Black Folk). This powerful image of a racialized line that separates communities and nations still resonates in the Twenty-first century. However\, the colorline is shaped by other factors\, such as class and religion. \nIn this virtual lunchtime talk\, Dr. Paulin will talk about how the history of anti-black racism and ableism in the U.S. erases both the past and contemporary experiences of Black neurodivergence. In fact\, much of the archival work is detective work\, reading between the lines\, searching in unlikely collections\, and identifying gaps in historical\, medical\, and cultural narratives because of the historical devaluation of Black well-being and humanity during enslavement and beyond. In the process of locating historic and contemporary instances of Black neurodivergence\, Dr. Paulin contributes to the efforts to learn from\, better understand\, and include the contributions\, survival strategies\, challenges experienced not only by Black people but also by all neurodivergent people in our neurodiverse past and present world. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Click here to register through Yapsody. You’ll get a confirmation email and the Zoom link will be in the attached ticket. You’ll also receive a reminder email with the Zoom link the morning of the event. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Facets of Indian Culture
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Layavinyasa back to the CMCH to share Facets of Indian Culture\, an exciting opportunity for all ages to experience Kuchipudi dance\, and learn more about the cultural values and beliefs that permeate this art form. \nKuchipudi is a south Indian classical dance form accompanied by Carnatic music. Dancers dramatically interpret songs with spiritual themes\, utilizing many symbolic gestures and rhythmic movements to embody the mythic figures of the songs. To further illustrate and explain the meanings that are part of the performances\, Layavinyasa will also showcase Indian material culture including figures and paintings that contain the same symbolic elements\, and which will help show the spiritual themes of the lyrics\, as well as illustrate community festivities. \nThe program will showcase figures such as Nataraja\, which is the Hindu god Shiva in his form as the cosmic dancer. He holds an hourglass-shaped drum in his upper right hand\, which in dance is depicted with a “damaru” hand gesture\, both symbolic of rhythm and time. A cobra uncoils from his right forearm\, while his palm shows the “abhaya” gesture\, which means to not fear evil. \nThe program will also feature the Dandiya Raas\, a popular communal dance performed during Navrathri Festival\, another type of portrayal of cosmic dance\, this time depicting Lord Krishna and friends\, and the cycle of time\, birth\, life\, death\, and rebirth. \nThe program is partly funded by CT Humanities\, and will be offered free to the public. There will be a Question and Answer session after the program. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Summer Concert Series: The Jedda La Rue Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Due to the local air quality alert\, this event will be held indoors at the museum!\nJoin us for a concert featuring music from The Jedda La Rue Quartet! Our vendors will be onsite from 5:00PM. Music will begin at 6:00PM! \nAbout the Band \nThe Jedda La Rue Quartet is presented by Anne Marie Williams\, better known as “Jedda\,” who crafts a masterful collaboration through intergenerational connections and multi-talented performing artists. \nOne of Jedda’s local mentors is living legend Emery Austin Smith—jazz pianist\, arranger\, and composer—who first encouraged her to vocally venture into those known and loved\, “classic standards.” Jedda magically connects across generations\, interweaving her mastery of early childhood education and educational program design with the arts\, and delights in sharing her own “pearls of wisdom through songs\, stories\, fitness\, theater\, music\, and movement” with young children and adults. \nAs K La Rue Educational Arts in Motion\, she has provided educational resources for schools\, teachers\, and parents in the Greater Hartford area for over 35 years. In the tradition of Hartford jazz excellence\, Jedda will share familiar songs with local flavor\, stories that connect us to the histories of the music and the community\, plus a little something special of her own. She will be joined by Hartford musical luminaries Alvin Carter\, Jr. on percussion\, Christopher Casey on piano\, and Stephen Porter on bass. \nThe concert series is generously supported by the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Trust Fund\, Bank of America N.A.\, Trustee\, the Cornelia T. Bailey Foundation\, the CT Cultural Fund\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, and the CT Office of the Arts/DECD. \nLearn more about our summer concert series here. \nPhoto courtesy Ray Shaw.

SUMMARY:The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story\, with Kermit Roosevelt
DESCRIPTION:In his groundbreaking book\, The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story\, Professor Kermit Roosevelt III\, University of Pennsylvania School of Law professor\, argues that our idea of the Founders’ America and its values is not true. He believes we are not the heirs of the Founders\, but we can be the heirs of Reconstruction and its vision for equality. He offers a powerful and inspirational rethinking of our country’s history and uncovers a shared past that we can be proud to claim and use as a foundation to work toward a country that fully embodies equality for all. This alternate understanding of American identity opens the door to a new understanding of ourselves and our story\, and ultimately to a better America. \nJoin us as Roosevelt rethinks how American history is viewed\, and how the ideas underpinning the country have shifted in the past two centuries—and along with it\, what it means to be American. \nCopies of Roosevelt’s book will available at the event\, courtesy of our friends at River Bend Bookshop. \n$5 CMCH members\, $10 non-members; $8 for seniors. Light refreshments will be provided. Purchase tickets here\, or you may purchase at the door. Includes admission to the museum galleries — come early to view! \nQuestions? Contact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nAbout Our Speaker \nRoosevelt is the David Berger Professor for the Administration of Justice at the University of Pennsylvania School of Law. He is a graduate of Yale Law School\, and clerked for Supreme Court Justice David Souter. He is an advisory board member for the National Constitution Center’s Coalition of Freedom\, and a Distinguished Research Fellow of the Annenberg Public Policy Center. He contributes to major media outlets including TIME\, the New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Politico\, and NPR\, and is a frequent guest on national and international TV and radio programs. Roosevelt works in a diverse range of fields\, focusing on constitutional law and conflict of laws. He has published scholarly books and articles and is also the author of two novels.

SUMMARY:The Power of Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion with distinguished Black leaders and artists as they share their experiences with the community as a source of power and joy\, and how culture can be shared to create a more just world as experienced in Connecticut. \nOur panelists have carved out space in Hartford and beyond for members of their communities to see themselves reflected beyond a single narrative. Through the creation of public venues and conversations\, our guests enable residents and artists to define themselves and their individual Black experiences. This joy is reflected in wedding photos\, renaming green space\, organizing Juneteenth celebrations\, hosting town halls\, and art galleries. It becomes a love letter to Black residents and allows neighbors to listen and learn. \nOur panelists are: \n \n\nKeith Claytor\, award-winning photographer and the owner of TimeFrozen Photography.\nAdrienne Billings-Smith\, Equity Coordinator for the town of West Hartford. She is also the founder and president of Concerned Parents of Color of West Hartford\, an organization focused on building equity and accessibility for communities of color through collaboration and partnership.\nKamora Herrington\, founder of Kamora’s Cultural Corner in Hartford. She provides youth mentorship\, intergenerational programming\, training in cultural humility\, and space for creating and nurturing community connections.\nAndre Rochester\, Fine Artist\, Curator\, and Arts Advocate from Greater Hartford. In addition to creating his own art\, Andre manages a collection of over 2500 works of art at UConn Health Center\, serves as Program Manager at The 224 EcoSpace.\nSamariya Smith\, Community History Project Manager at CMCH. She will moderate this conversation.\n\nThis event is free and open to the public\, and light refreshments will be provided. \n Click here to register. Registration is encouraged\, but not required. We look forward to seeing you there! \nThanks to our sponsors
