Kaur’s talk will draw from her #1 LA Times Bestseller SEE NO STRANGER: A Memoir and Manifesto of Revolutionary Love. Kaur “envisions a world where love is a public ethic and shared practice in our lives and politics.” During her work\, whether inside supermax prisons\, on the military base at Guantanamo Bay\, or at sites of mass shootings\, Kaur identified a surprising key element for social change: the ethic of love. Today she leads the Revolutionary Love Project to equip people across the U.S. to build just\, anti-racist communities for internal and collective transformation. \nTickets for the event are complimentary\, however registration is required due to capacity limitations. Registration provides a seat on a first-come\, first-served basis.

Failure to comply will result in guest/s being turned away. \nHouston Coalition Against Hate (HCAH) is a network of community-based organizations\, institutions\, and leaders committed to addressing all incidents of hate\, bias\, discrimination\, and violence on the basis of a person or group’s religion\, race/ethnicity\, gender\, gender identity/expression\, abilities\, age\, sexual orientation\, national origin\, creed\, immigration status\, or genetic information. HCAH does this through education\, research\, relationship building\, and prevention initiatives\, as well as partnering with organizations to host events that celebrate Houston’s diversity. Learn more at www.houstonagainsthate.org. \nA Time of Perspective is Houston Coalition Against Hate’s annual signature public event celebrating art and activism in the anti-hate arena. \nValarie Kaur is a renowned civil rights leader\, lawyer\, award-winning filmmaker\, educator\, innovator\, and best-selling author of SEE NO STRANGER. She has won national acclaim for her work in social justice on issues ranging from hate crimes to digital freedom. Valarie burst into American consciousness in the wake of the 2016 election when her Watch Night Service address went viral with 40 million views worldwide. Her question “Is this the darkness of the tomb – or the darkness of the womb?” has become a mantra for people fighting for change. She now leads the Revolutionary Love Project to reclaim love as a force for justice.

She escapes to the safety of the South of France\, but her work there is interrupted by a family tragedy that reveals an even darker secret. Believing that only an extraordinary act will save her\, she embarks on the monumental adventure of painting her life story. \nEric Warin and Tahir Rana teamed up for the first time to direct “Charlotte” (2021) after falling in love with the story of the artist. Warin previously directed the animated feature “Leap” (2016) and was a character designer/assistant animator on the Academy Award-nominated “The Triplets of Belleville” (2003).

She is the nationally best-selling author of My (Underground) American Dream and Someone Like Me. Her writing has appeared in the New York Times\, TIME Magazine\, CNN\, CNBC\, Vogue and other outlets. Her newest book\, You Sound Like a White Girl: The Case for Rejecting Assimilation\, is a powerful dual polemic and manifesto against the myth that assimilation leads to happiness and belonging for immigrants in America. Instead\, she calls for a celebration of our uniqueness\, our origins\, our heritage\, and the beauty of the differences that actually make us Americans. Prior to becoming an author and immigrant rights activist\, Julissa built a successful career on Wall Street working for Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch and had seemingly achieved the American Dream—yet she was not part of what legally defined an American. Julissa immigrated to America from Mexico at the age of 11 and was undocumented for almost 15 years\, some of them spent rising to prominence on Wall Street. In order to help other young people in similar circumstances\, she co-founded the Ascend Educational Fund (AEF). AEF is a college scholarship and mentorship program for immigrant students in New York City\, regardless of their ethnicity\, national origin or immigration status. \nJulissa was named one of People en Español’s 25 Most Powerful Women of 2017 and 2022\, and 2018’s Woman of the Year by the City of Los Angeles. She is a leading voice in the fight for social justice\, immigrant rights and education equality. Julissa serves on the board of directors of the National Immigration Law Center. She was officially sworn in as an American citizen in August of 2014 and currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and their two cats\, Nikko and Pancho. \nSpecial thanks to Amigos Meat Distributors\, LP for generously supporting the Museum’s Latinx Heritage Month Lecture Series. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-book-talk-you-sound-like-a-white-girl-the-case-for-rejecting-assimilation/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Latinx Heritage Month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/arce_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220907T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220907T203000 DTSTAMP:20260406T101046 CREATED:20230801T104421Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230801T104431Z UID:10000038-1662573600-1662582600@hmh.org SUMMARY:While Childhood Slept DESCRIPTION:While Childhood Slept is a heart-wrenching original musical that follows the true story of the boys of Home Number One in the Nazi concentration camp\, Terezin. The children create a secret republic within the camp\, publishing their own magazine of art\, poetry\, and short stories called Vedem. A visit from The Red Cross presents the opportunity to disguise their magazine as a secret message and a means of escape. With book and lyrics by Sharon Sheppard and music and additional lyrics by Jo Ellen Hubert\, While Childhood Slept is a story of bravery\, determination\, and hope\, with a promise that we will never forget the past and will never allow history to repeat itself. The Garden Theatre is elated to bring this show to Houston audiences in a public staged reading format\, which will feature a talkback after the performance with the artists that created the piece. After the performances of the staged reading\, The Garden Theatre will continue to develop the musical over the next year to bring a full production to Houston audiences in the 2023-2024 season.  \nWhile Childhood Slept premiered in 1999 in Houston\, TX. From there it received an off-Broadway reading\, and its finale number\, We Will Not Forget\, was featured in the documentary Paper Clips. In 2005\, a revised version with new songs was performed once again in Houston. While many theatre companies have requested to produce the show over the years\, only The Garden Theatre has been able to secure the rights to this touching musical\, which will now be seen for the first time in over 17 years. \nThis event is free and open to the public.

All event times are listed in Central time. \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for a special presentation by Rwandan genocide survivor Henriette Mutegwaraba\, as she recalls in her memoir\, By Any Means Necessary – Healing and Forgiveness After Genocide\, an idyllic childhood in 1970s Rwanda—idyllic until the day her fifth-year teacher called her out for being a “Tutsi cockroach.” She’d never heard that term\, but as Mr. Wilson went on to explain\, “We [Hutus] tried to kill them [Tutsis] in 1959\, and they’re still around. Like cockroaches\, the Tutsi are hard to exterminate.” It was Henriette’s first encounter with systematic discrimination\, and her country’s deeply held belief that one tribe was superior to another. A decade later\, that hate would manifest as the Rwandan genocide against Tutsis. Of her large and loving extended family\, Henriette alone would survive to tell her story\, which is really the story of Rwanda. A book for government leaders\, peace and human rights activists\, young people\, and anyone else who has ever felt “different” because of how God created them\, By Any Means Necessary follows Henriette on her harrowing journey to escape a violent death\, help rebuild a broken people\, and ultimately\, learn to forgive those who killed everyone she loved. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/book-talk-by-any-means-necessary-by-henriette-mutegwaraba/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:Author Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/mutegwaraba-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220804T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220804T203000 DTSTAMP:20260406T101046 CREATED:20230727T105707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133915Z UID:10000010-1659641400-1659645000@hmh.org SUMMARY:A History of Hate: The Ongoing Fight Over Immigration DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the annual Latinx Initiatives Advisory Committee event\, Holocaust Museum Houston will host a special presentation and book talk with Dr. Jesus Esparza\, editor of the newly published book The Truth in Our Stories: Immigrant Voices in Radical Times. \nImmigration has long been a controversial issue in American politics and remains one of the country’s most pressing issues\, dividing the nation along political\, economic\, moral\, and ethical lines. Critics have long distorted the view of Latino immigrants\, depicting them as criminals who corrupt neighborhoods\, depress wages\, overpopulate the prison systems\, and drain the economy. This distorted narrative\, unfortunately\, persists in our present time. This lecture will present a brief history of the anti-immigration sentiment in the United States as context for why this misshapen narrative continues to exist presently. It will also highlight a few compelling stories that highlight the Latino immigrant experience that promise to change that perception. \nThis event is free to attend and open to the public\, but RSVP is required. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/a-history-of-hate-the-ongoing-fight-over-immigration/ LOCATION:Albert and Ethel Herzstein Theater CATEGORIES:LECTURE ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/esparza-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220801T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220831T210000 DTSTAMP:20260406T101046 CREATED:20230809T080415Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133931Z UID:10000337-1659337200-1661979600@hmh.org SUMMARY:National Deli Month DESCRIPTION:During National Delicatessen Month\, August 1-31\, both Kenny and Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen & Restaurant locations are offering a multi-choice\, three-course menu during lunch and dinner for $38\, plus tax and gratuity\, with 10 percent of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs. \nAs an added incentive\, HMH will offer anyone who purchases a National Deli Month meal a complimentary ticket. \nFor more information\, visit www.delimonth.com. \n \n SEE THE MENU URL:https://hmh.org/event/national-deli-month-6/ LOCATION:Kenny and Ziggy’s – 1743 Post Oak Blvd. CATEGORIES:Celebration ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/ziggy_1975.jpg__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220730T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220730T000000 DTSTAMP:20260406T101046 CREATED:20230809T081915Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T133939Z UID:10000547-1659139200-1659139200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Teaching the Holocaust: Lessons and Resources for Educators DESCRIPTION:Join Holocaust Museum Houston for a one-day educator workshop on teaching the Holocaust. \nEducators will learn approaches to teaching the Holocaust using activities and resources designed for the classroom.

Before becoming a judge\, RBG was a lawyer and a law professor. Join us on Thursday\, July 14\, 2022\, at 4:30 p.m. at the Museum to see a live reenactment of her last oral argument as an advocate before the United States Supreme Court. \nUsing an abridged version of the actual oral arguments in Duren v. Missouri\, 439 U.S. 357 (1979)\, a cast of lawyers and judges will invite the audience to step back in time to 1978\, when RBG made her case before an all-male court\, arguing that Missouri’s jury-selection system that allowed women to opt out of jury service violated the Sixth Amendment’s requirement that an impartial jury be drawn from a fair cross-section of the community. The program will begin with an overview of the background and procedural history of the case to set the stage for the oral arguments that will follow. The reenactment will feature a cast of twelve historical figures: nine United States Supreme Court justices and three advocates. A seasoned appellate practitioner will open and close the program and share reflections on the case and the role it played in RBG’s legacy as an advocate for gender equality. \nThe Houston Bar Association’s reenactment will complement the exhibition Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg\, on view in the Museum’s Josef and Edith Mincberg Gallery through July 31\, 2022. \nThis is an in-person event. Admission is free and open to the public.
