SUMMARY:Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred – Antisemitism Today
DESCRIPTION:Living\, as we do\, in a time of unmitigated hatred\, hate crimes\, acts of antisemitism and extremism\, we must take steps of awareness and action. With programming\, to include social media posts and a six-part workshop series (offered virtually)\, Holocaust Museum Houston takes on a new kind of leadership and outreach. \nThe goal of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred Program is to cultivate Upstanders who are aware of the power of hatred in human decision making and to provide community members an opportunity to learn important concepts of history\, civic awareness\, and social justice. This program empowers community members to reflect and act. \nWe must find ways to talk and interact with each other beyond boundaries. At the same time\, we must create ways to disallow hatred in our culture\, two actions that may seem contradictory\, but are essential in this time of our society’s history. \nIn each session of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred sessions\, we will share a critique of a piece of hate rhetoric\, extremism\, and/or antisemitism\, with the goal of educating the community on how to recognize\, reflect on and respond to hateful content. \nCoordinated with social media outreach\, we offer a series of six workshops co-facilitated by Mary Lee Webeck\, Ph.D.; Holocaust and Genocide Education Endowed Chair – Celebrating the Life of Survivor Naomi Warren and Beverly Nolan\, Ed.D.\, Chair – Education Advisory Committee\, Holocaust Museum Houston. \nOn Monday\, April 26\, we address the long history of xenophobia (a fear of strangers\, or fear of someone who is different from us) and the rising incidents of hate crimes directed toward the Asian communities of the United States.

SUMMARY:Race and the Houston Police Department with Dr. Dwight Watson
DESCRIPTION:In correlation with the exhibit Withstand: Latinx Art During Times of Conflict\, author and historian Dr. Dwight Watson will discuss his book\, Race and the Houston Police Department 1930-1990. \nIn Houston\, as in the rest of the American South up until the 1950s\, the police force reflected and enforced the segregation of the larger society. When the nation began to change in the 1950s and 1960s\, this guardian of the status quo had to change\, too. It was not designed to do so easily. Watson’s study demonstrates vividly how race complicated the internal impulses for change and gave way through time to external pressures—including the Civil Rights Movement\, modernization\, annexations\, and court-ordered redistricting—for institutional changes within the department. \nHe will highlight his extensive research on Joe Campos Torres\, a chapter from his book covering the case under the title “The Storm Clouds of Change: The Death of José Campos Torres and the Emergence of Triracial Politics in Houston.” \nSpecial guest Janie Torres will discuss her family’s search for justice and the annual Torres memorial walk. \nDwight W. Watson is an assistant professor of history at Texas State University. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Houston. He has previously worked as a correctional counselor\, a prison grievance officer\, a county probation officer\, and state parole officer. \nThis talk will be moderated by Texas Southern University professor\, Dr. Jesus Esparza. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Guests will receive a private Zoom link so advance registration is required.\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:An Evening With Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Author of "How to Be an Antiracist"
DESCRIPTION:In recognizing the significance of antiracist programming\, HMH has invited Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, one of America’s foremost historians and leading antiracist scholars\, to speak about his 2019 book\, How to Be an Antiracist. Kendi’s presentation will be centered on defining what it means to be antiracist and what actions people can take to clearly see all forms of racism. \nKendi’s concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America—but even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place\, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like\, and how we can play an active role in building it. In his memoir\, Kendi weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science–including the story of his own awakening to antiracism—bringing it all together in a cogent\, accessible form. He begins by helping us rethink our most deeply held\, if implicit\, beliefs and our most intimate personal relationships (including beliefs about race and IQ and interracial social relations) and reexamines the policies and larger social arrangements we support. \nKendi is an American author\, professor\, antiracist activist\, and historian of race and discriminatory policy in America. In July 2020\, he assumed the position of director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi was included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nGenerously sponsored by Dr. Anna Steinberger \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Recognizing Human Rights on the U.S.-Mexico Border
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust Museum Houston’s Engines of Change alum Cain Trevino will present his Together We Remember Coalition (TWR) fellowship project in this special presentation. He will highlight the work of the South Texas Human Rights Center (STHRC).

Their mission is to end death and suffering on the Texas/Mexico border through community initiatives. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

DESCRIPTION:Please join us to celebrate the publication of the “Go For Broke Commemorative Stamp” by the United States Postal Service! This very special stamp honors the 33\,000 Japanese American men and women who fought valiantly for the United States Army during WWII.

SUMMARY:Musical Performance by Lucio Feuillet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a musical performance by Lucio Feuillet with special guest Dr. Daniel Castro Pantoja during our first Summer Free Day. This event will be bilingual in English/Spanish and will be screened in the museum theater and virtually over Zoom. \nReserve your free ticket to view this program in person at the Museum: hmh.org/tickets \nRegister here to receive the private Zoom link to watch virtually: hmh.org/Lucio \nLucio Feuillet is a Nariñense songwriter inspired by the sensibility of being a southern Andean Colombian. His inspiration extends the dialogue of different musical airs; from the simple acoustic style of his singing to the strength and vibrancy of theatre-esque street carnivals (murgas). He has published three theatre productions\, “Indicio” (2014)\, “Provinciano “(2017) and “Bailando Bailando”(2021). \nHis live theatrical productions have taken him to some of Colombia’s emblematic stages like Teatro Mayor\, Teatro Jorge Eliécer Gaitán\, Rock Nacional\, Colombia al Parque\, Teatro Colón\, Pasto Jazz and more. He has been invited to visit stages on the international scene like Uruguay\, Argentina\, Peru and the US. He has collaborate with artists such as Marta Gómez\, Santiago Cruz\, Vicente García\, Telebit\, Andrés Correa\, Las Áñez\, Edson Velandia\, and the Quintet Leopoldo Federico where he participated with his original song “Una Pena” on the album “Quinteto con voz”\, an album nominated for the Latin Grammy 2020 in the category Best Folk Album. \nThroughout his career\, he’s made it to some of the most important musical charts in Colombia with several productions reaching the #Top20 of Radio Nacional and Radiónica. His album Provinciano was recognized as one of the best albums of the year according to Revista Semana\, El Colombiano\, Revista Shock\, Radio Nacional\, among others. \nIn 2021\, he brings new productions filled with a newly developed style in which he mixes sounds and harmonies inspired by the carnival “murgas” of South Colombia with more contemporary electric elements like samples of a Moog synthesizer\, and the electric guitar\, all while celebrating dance\, tradition\, rock and the Latin street carnivals.

SUMMARY:Curating Latinx Art at the National Portrait Gallery and Beyond with Dr. Taína Caragol
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Dr. Taína Caragol will address the growing presence of Latinx art in the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibitions and permanent collection in the last decade and its national impact. \nDr. Taína Caragol joined the National Portrait Gallery in 2013 as the first curator for Latinx art and history and in 2015\, her role was expanded to curator of painting and sculpture. Caragol has led the effort to increase the representation of Latinx historical figures and artists at the museum\, adding over 170 portraits to the collection and ensuring that Latinx contributions to American history and art are interwoven through the museum’s exhibitions and permanent collection. \nBefore joining the National Portrait Gallery\, Caragol was the curator of education at Museo de Arte de Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, where she organized the museum’s first international symposium on Pre-Raphaelite art and led a program of curatorial and artist talks with contemporary Puerto Rican artists. She was the Museum of Modern Art’s Latin American bibliographer from 2004 to 2007\, and she later worked as a postdoctoral researcher for Latin American Art in the United Kingdom: History\, Historiography\, Specificity\, 1960 to the Present\, an investigation led by the University of Essex (2007–2008). \nCaragol earned her PhD in art history from the Graduate Center\, City University of New York. Her dissertation “Boom and Dust: The Rise of Latin American and Latino Art in New York Exhibition Venues and Auction Houses\, 1970s–1980s\,” examined the incubating role of New York City’s alternative museums and art spaces and market during the “Latin American art boom” of the late 1980s. Caragol has published essays on Latinx and Latin American artists and has also written on the importance of archival preservation in contributing to a better understanding of the history of Latinx and Latin American art in the United States. Her essay on Kehinde Wiley’s portrait of President Barack Obama was published in The Obama Portraits in February 2020 (Princeton University Press / National Portrait Gallery). She holds an MA in French Studies from Middlebury College and a BA in Modern Languages from the University of Puerto Rico\, Río Piedras\, where she graduated magna cum laude. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link.\n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:A Conversation With Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Author of "How to Be an Antiracist"
DESCRIPTION:In recognizing the significance of antiracist programming\, HMH has invited Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, one of America’s foremost historians and leading antiracist scholars\, to speak about his 2019 book\, How to Be an Antiracist. Kendi’s presentation will be centered on defining what it means to be antiracist and what actions people can take to clearly see all forms of racism. \nKendi’s concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America—but even more fundamentally\, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place\, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like\, and how we can play an active role in building it. In his memoir\, Kendi weaves together an electrifying combination of ethics\, history\, law\, and science—including the story of his own awakening to antiracism—bringing it all together in a cogent\, accessible form. He begins by helping us rethink our most deeply held\, if implicit\, beliefs and our most intimate personal relationships (including beliefs about race and IQ and interracial social relations) and reexamines the policies and larger social arrangements we support. \nKendi is an American author\, professor\, antiracist activist\, and historian of race and discriminatory policy in America. In July 2020\, he assumed the position of director of the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Kendi was included in Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2020. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nThis virtual event is a recording of a conversation that took place on Thursday\, May 19\, 2021. \nGenerously sponsored by Dr. Anna Steinberger \n			\n				Register

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Invención de la Naturaleza
DESCRIPTION:“Invención de la Naturaleza” is a collaborative film piece with a duration of 62 minutes that resorts to narrative cinema\, documentary testimonials\, archival footage and literary discourse to reflect on the nature of socio-political repercussions of borders and their defining of an individual’s perception of self and “the other”. An imaginary account of travels by Mina across the US-Mexico border in a futile attempt to reconstruct her past. \nThe screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the filmmakers. ​ \nAlejandro Sescosse (Co-director) – Alejandro has worked in all aspects of film production since 2008. Born in Mexico City and a Texas resident for 23 years\, he lives and works in the Houston area. He obtained a liberal arts degree in Philosophy at the University of Texas in Austin\, studied the technical aspects of filmmaking at the New York film academy and gained real life experience working on independent film productions in New York City. After completing his first feature length project in 2019\, Alejandro’s interest lies in expanding on the possibilities of nano production models nearing cinema to the individual human scale. Films closer to writing in the simplicity of its material requirements but infinitely complex in its possibilities. \nAnna Veselova (Editor) – Originally from Moscow\, Russia\, Anna moved to Houston\, TX 10 years ago and switched from her career in finance to art photography. Since she was discovered by Getty Images in 2010\, Anna had several exhibitions\, worked on the movie sets as a backstage photographer and as a principal photographer for Houston Cinema Arts Festival where she met Alejandro in 2015. In the same year she started participating in commercial and short film productions as an editor and in 2019 co-edited the film titled Invention of Nature – a feature length project directed by A. Sescosse and S. Bastani. \nAdmission is free and open to the public. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \nThis film is in English and Spanish\, with subtitles. \n			\n				Register
