SUMMARY:The New Red Book: A Guide to 50 of Houston’s Black Historical and Cultural Sites
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Lindsay Gary \nThe New Red Book: A Guide to 50 of Houston’s Black Historical and Cultural Sites (2022) by Dr. Lindsay Gary highlights the history of Houston through the perspective of place - 50 cultural organizations and sites created and sustained by African Americans. It documents little-known histories of the Almeda Post Office\, the site of the first non-violent civil rights demonstration in the city\, as well as pop culture destinations such as Frenchy’s Creole Kitchen and Screwed Up Records and Tapes. The title pays tribute to the original 1915 publication The Red Book of Houston: A Compendium of Social\, Professional\, Religious\, Education and Industrial Interests of Houston’s Colored Population\, recognized by researchers as one of a kind for its detailed description of African American success in the South during a time of social and political upheaval. It takes readers on a rich and compelling journey through the histories of Houston\, the region\, and African American culture. \nThis presentation will explore the research methods and practices used to create The New Red Book\, in addition to challenges that were faced and the impact of the publication. In conversation with its historical implications\, it will discuss its connection to The Red Book of 1915 and the role texts have played in the past and can play the future in preserving the legacy of Black historical and cultural sites. \nDr. Lindsay Gary (PhD\, MFA\, MA\, MPA) is a professor-scholar\, conceptual diasporArtist\, and Afrocentric entrepreneur whose mission is to educate\, connect\, and empower the African Diaspora. She graduated from the University of Houston with a BA in History and minors in Dance and Business Administration\, and later obtained her Graduate Certificate in African American Studies. She also has an MA in History\, an MPA in Public Policy\, and an MFA in Dance\, and recently obtained her PhD in Africology and African American Studies from Temple University.

SUMMARY:Alley Theatre Performance | "Resonance of Time"
DESCRIPTION:Image credit: “The Negro Motorist Green Book” cover\, 1940. Courtesy Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture\, Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division\, New York Public Library. \n			\n				RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				On November 16\, 2023\, Alley Theatre will partner with Holocaust Museum Houston to present “Resonance of Time\,” celebrating the historical significance of The Negro Motorist Green Book alongside the Museum’s captivating exhibition. 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.

SUMMARY:Destroyed Communities and Their Survivors: A Holocaust Research Project for Students Grades 6-12
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Times are listed in Central Time. \nLooking for an engaging research project for your students that combines historical events and personal narratives? Using online materials from both Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston—primary/secondary sources\, photographs\, interviews\, films\, and more to help your students understand the depth and breadth of the Holocaust—this project takes students from prewar Jewish life through the devastation of the Holocaust\, requiring them to reflect on both the historical events and experiences of those who lived through it. \nIn this unique 90-minute online program you will learn about the project\, spend time familiarizing yourself with the materials\, and share ideas on how to implement this project in your classroom. We will provide you with the materials and links you need to do this project\, including one version for middle school and one for high school. \nHouston area teachers will earn 1.5 CPE credit hours. \nCentropa interviewed 1\,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs. Centropa offers teachers a database of thousands of annotated photos\, hundreds of interviews\, and scores of award-winning\, short multimedia films (no longer than 30 minutes)—ideal for virtual or in-class projects that teach digital literacy\, promote critical thinking\, increase global awareness and all free of charge. \nPhotos courtesy of Centropa – www.centropa.org

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Ava Cosey - Black Art Houston
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Holocaust Museum Houston will host free admission Sunday\, February 18\, courtesy of Shell USA\, in honor of Black Art Houston. 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.

SUMMARY:Resisters: How Ordinary Jews Fought Persecution in Hitler's Germany
DESCRIPTION:RSVP\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Jewish resistance during the Holocaust is still understood mostly in terms of rare armed group activities in the Nazi occupied East\, for example ghetto uprisings or partisan activities. 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. How Ordinary Jews fought Hitler’s Persecution\, Yale University Press 2023. \nPublic programs at Holocaust Museum Houston are presented by Memorial Hermann.
