The Negro Motorist Green Book\, pioneered by Victor Green\, was a beacon of hope and safety for African Americans during a time of segregation and discrimination; the exhibition aims to recreate the essence of that journey\, exemplifying how identifying safety has shaped Black culture’s preservation\, resilience\, and future. \n“Resonance of Time\,” an immersive performance\, will transport the audience through key periods of history\, encapsulating the spirit\, struggles\, and triumphs of Black communities. Through captivating performances and evocative settings\, it aims to celebrate resilience\, inspire reflection\, and foster unity within a shared journey while shedding light on the history of Black travel and safe havens in the early-mid 20th Century. The performance will be followed by a rich panel discussion\, led by Sarah Trotty\, Kianna Wright\, and Whitney Brantley on this important period in American history. \nDirected\, written\, and choreographed by Nicolas Stewart of Alley Theatre’s Department of Education and Community Engagement\, with the Assistant Direction of Cardero Berryman\, “Resonance of Time” features Briana Lott and Justin Chukwujekwu as Sidona and Tevin Daniels\, narrated by Keonie Harris. This small play follows a husband and wife as they travel from Harlem\, New York to South Central Los Angeles\, meeting various historical figures on their journey. The journey mimics a two-day road trip\, serving as a metaphor for thirty years of traveling while black in Jim Crow America. It’s complemented by poetry and musical performances spanning the decades during which The Green Book was in publication. Performance styles encompass jazz\, step\, and hip hop\, showcasing professional Houston dancers from various local studios and companies\, including the Royal Duchess\, D.U.K.E.S. community step team led by Bryce Dill of Spring\, Texas\, and Young Men Successfully Steppin’ of Baytown\, Texas\, led by Mikal Jackson and Crystal Branch. \nPublic programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann.

Join Khambrel Marshall at 2 p.m. in conversation with Houston artist Ava Cosey as she reflects on her work including “Ancestor’s Torch” featured in The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection\, on view in the Josef and Edith Mincberg Gallery through June 23\, 2024. \nFrom the restless seas and the missing torn out pages of our history books\, the “Ancestor’s Torch” painting strives to exemplify the agony of the enslaved trade ship and to relay the bellowing spirit of endurance from our ancestors. Mocking history\, resounding words of inventions and contributions by African Americans from the 18th century and beyond are intricately designed by the artist\, Ava Cosey which are intertwined throughout the garment. \nCosey\, a HBCU Business Education graduate\, is a phenomenally gifted artist and printmaker.  In 1997\, she experienced an epiphany that catapulted her into a creative\, remarkable talent. \n“Art rejuvenates my soul\,” said Cosey.  “Led by infinite inspiration and divine guidance\, I am fascinated by the startling effect of visualization.  I am dedicated to my gift and my passion is to share my God given talents.  My goal is to capture the interest of the viewer by creating a visual that will intrigue and invoke emotions which relates to their experiences.” \nCosey works in a variety of mediums\, i.e.\, oil acrylic\, pastels\, ink and mixed media; and also uses the process of monoprints\, silkscreens\, etchings\, sculpting and fiber.  She uses vivid colors\, majestic characters and universal themes to paint meaningful images\, places and things.  Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally.

This new research is based on a broader definition and countless hitherto untapped sources\, including local police and court records as well as video testimonies of survivors. Introducing five new categories of resistance\, the talk shows how between 1933 and 1945 Jews performed countless resistance acts in Nazi Germany proper\, by destroying Nazi symbols\, publicly protesting against the persecution\, disobeying Nazi laws and local restrictions\, and defending themselves from verbal insults as well as physical attacks. The fact that so many German Jewish women and men of all ages\, educations and professions defied the Nazis obliterates the common view of the passivity of Jews under Nazi persecution. Their courageous acts\, however\, still need to be incorporated into the general narrative of the persecution of the Jews in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust in general. \nWolf Gruner (PhD\, Technical University Berlin) is the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies and Professor of History at the University of Southern California\, Los Angeles since 2008\, and Founding Director of the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research since 2014. He is an appointed member of the Academic Committee at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum since 2017. He is the author of eleven books\, among them Jewish Forced Labor under the Nazis. Economic Needs and Nazi Racial Aims with Cambridge University Press (2006)\, Parias de la Patria“. El mito de la liberación de los indígenas en la República de Bolivia 1825-1890 (2015)\, and the prizewinning The Holocaust in Bohemia and Moravia. Czech Initiatives\, German Policies\, Jewish Responses (2019). He coedited four books\, including „Resisting Persecution. Jews and Their Petitions during the Holocaust” (2020)\, and “New Perspectives on Kristallnacht: After 80 Years\, the Nazi Pogrom in Global Comparison” (2019). His new book is called: Resisters.

At the end of 1940\, Walter\, his parents and his sister\, Rysia\, were herded into a Jewish ghetto. One day in 1941\, the ghetto residents were told to gather in the city square. There\, in front of her family\, Rysia was lined up with other young children and shot to death. Twelve-year-old Walter was sent with his father to the labor camp of Pionki\, later to Auschwitz and Sosnowiec\, and finally to Mauthausen and two of its sub-camps. \nWalter and his father were liberated by the 71st Infantry Division of the United States Army on May 5\, 1945. Taken to a hospital to recuperate\, Walter regained his strength\, but his father succumbed a month later. Walter made his way back to Poland\, where he was reunited with his mother. In 1947\, Walter came to the United States\, settling in Kansas City\, Missouri. There\, he finished his schooling\, started a career in sales and was drafted and served proudly during the Korean War. Walter was able to bring his mother to the United States\, where she settled in Washington\, DC. \nWalter moved to Houston\, where he established a successful import business. He was active in Jewish causes\, sitting on the boards of the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust Museum Houston. The Anti-Defamation League established a Teachers’ Award in Walter’s name\, and he was the first recipient of the St. Augustine Award from St. Thomas University in recognition of his life-changing impact on others.
