Our final event highlighting Indigenous narratives features a virtual screening of “The Condor & The Eagle” by filmmakers\, Sophie and Clément Guerra. \nFilm Synopsis:This unique award-winning documentary film of global reach brings to light the interconnected nature of social issues such as gender\, race\, class and the environment. “The Condor & The Eagle” helps us understand how social\, environmental and political identities combine to create specific modes of discrimination and privilege. \nIndigenous communities are Earth global environmental leaders. Statistics show that Indigenous peoples represent only 4% of the world’s population\, live on 22% of the earth’s surface\, holding 80% of the remaining biodiversity. \n“The Condor & The Eagle” is deeply empowering: the story starts small with local impacted marginalized individuals who decide to no longer accept to be the victims of an unjust system. Overcoming the feeling of isolation\, they manage to grow regional support networks\, progressively gaining national visibility. Eventually\, they rise as international leaders taking the fight from the streets to the courts (Tribunals\, Consultations and Reforms) and inspire others to help change our system’s architecture. \nThis film will be screened in English with Spanish subtitles. Admission is free and open to the public. Donations are welcomed. Advanced registration is required to receive the private Zoom link. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/virtual-film-screening-the-condor-the-eagle/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:FILM SCREENING END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20201203T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20201203T210000 DTSTAMP:20260405T145047 CREATED:20230802T132221Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T132230Z UID:10000126-1607020200-1607029200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Drive-In Movie Night: "Invictus" DESCRIPTION:PG-13 | 134 min | Drama\, History | 2009 (USA)\nDirector\, Clint Eastwood \nJoin Holocaust Museum Houston for a Drive-In Movie Night showing of “Invictus” in the Museum’s parking lot on Caroline St. The film tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country.

Through critical conversations and open dialogue\, participants will consider their role in the antiracism movement and everyday actions they can take to dismantle inequality. \nYashica Dutt is a journalist and the author of Coming Out as Dalit. She spent a decade covering arts\, culture\, and fashion in New Delhi and a lifetime hiding her Dalitness to pass as ‘upper’ caste. Until she ‘came out’ as Dalit in a Facebook note and wrote a book that’s part non-fiction\, part-memoir and wholly a scathing account of how the caste system operates and affects Dalits in today’s India. Her work explores the intersection of caste\, class\, and gender and seeks to expose caste as the ‘the invisible arm that turns the gears in nearly every system in India’. \nComing Out as Dalit has received immense critical acclaim from the press and the readers. It has been called an “Eye Opening Contribution to Dalit Literature” and a book that will likely play “a major role in influencing the Millennial expression on being a Dalit.” Dutt graduated from Columbia Journalism School and lives in New York. Her work has been published in the New York Times\, The Atlantic and Foreign Policy. \nThanks to the generosity of H‐E‐B\, this event is available at no cost to attendees\, but registration is required. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/coming-out-as-dalit-with-yashica-dutt/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Dismantling Bias Lecture Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/yashica-photo.jpeg-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210115T130000 DTSTAMP:20260405T145047 CREATED:20230802T130040Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T130049Z UID:10000112-1610712000-1610715600@hmh.org SUMMARY:Dialogue with Simon Fujiwara\, Alexandra Zapruder\, and Dr. Mary Lee Webeck DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mary Lee Webeck; Simon Fujiwara; Alexandra Zapruder \nBlaffer Art Museum and Holocaust Museum Houston present a two-part dialogue with artist Simon Fujiwara\, diaries expert Alexandra Zapruder\, and Dr. Mary Lee Webeck\, Holocaust and Genocide Education Endowed Chair at Holocaust Museum Houston\, in conjunction with the exhibition\, Simon Fujiwara: Hope House—on view at the Blaffer through March 14\, 2021. \nHope House is an ongoing exhibition built upon years of study into the legacy of Anne Frank\, the young Jewish girl who became famous for the diary she wrote whilst in hiding from the Nazis. Her ascension from a regular girl to a renowned historical figure provides a case study\, lens\, and continuum for Fujiwara to present objects and artworks that sample from\, and survey today’s socio-political media-scape. Since 2017 he has been erecting life-scale replicas of the Anne Frank House’s “build-your-own” model as exhibition architecture to present artifacts collected and analyzed from a diary-like perspective. Inspired by Anne’s personal form of record keeping\, as well as the way her story embodies an enduring stand against the escalating dangers of a fascist regime\, Fujiwara confronts embedded pathologies within pop culture. Collaging objects from the present into his enlarged facsimile of the House\, he sculpts the everyday into an evolving portrait of what happens when hopeful ideologies meet the mechanisms of consumer culture. \nThis event is FREE and open to the public.

With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists\, politicians\, historians\, and formerly incarcerated women and men\, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis. \nAdmission is free and open to the public.

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. \nDwight Watson traces how the Houston Police Department reacted to social\, political\, and institutional change over a fifty-year period—and specifically\, how it responded to and in turn influenced racial change. \nWatson’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. \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.

The internatonal success of Rebecca Skloot’s New York Times bestseller\, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks\, has let people keenly interested in the Lacks family and Henrietta’s legacy. \nHenrietta Lacks was a poor Black tobacco farmer whose cells\, taken without her knowledge in 1951\, went on to become the first immortal human cells ever grown in the laboratory. Those cells\, dubbed HeLa\, became one of the most important tools in modern medicine\, vital for developing the polio vaccine\, cloning\, gene mapping\, in vitro fertilization\, and more. Though Henrietta died in 1951\, her cells—alive and growing to this day—are still the most widely used in the world. \nHenrietta’s family didn’t learn that the cells existed until the 1970s\, when scientists wanted to do research on her children—Lawrence\, David “Sonny” Jr.\, Deborah\, and Zakariyya—to learn more about the remarkable “immortality” of Henrietta’s cell line. Her children were then used in research without their consent\, and without having their most basic questions answered\, such as\, “What is a cell?” and“What does it mean that Henrietta’s cells are alive?” \nIn this moderated discussion with Holocaust Museum Houston Director of Education\, Wendy Warren\, the family will share what it meant to find out—decades after the fact—that Henrietta’s cells were being used in laboratories around the world\, bought and sold by the billions. \nDavid Lacks\, Jr. is the grandson of Henrietta Lacks and the son of David “Sonny” Lacks. David has a degree in computer information systems and has traveled around the United States and Canada setting up computer systems and labs for companies and educational institutions. He also lends his talent to the Lacks family’s website. David is honored to serve on the National Institutes of Health panel\, where he reviews proposals from researchers seeking to use the HeLa genome in their research. \nVictoria Baptiste is Henrietta Lacks’s great-granddaughter. She travels regularly to talk about the Lacks family’s story. Inspired by Henrietta’s life\, she is a nephrology nurse at a dialysis center. As a patient’s advocate\, Victoria prides herself on treating patients with respect and dignity and—most importantly—making sure they understand their care. She finds her career fulfilling because it gives her the opportunity to educate patients. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/an-evening-with-the-lacks-family-the-story-behind-the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Black History Month ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/lacks-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210224T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210224T190000 DTSTAMP:20260405T145047 CREATED:20230802T114830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T114839Z UID:10000085-1614189600-1614193200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot DESCRIPTION:Discuss the issues of medical ethics\, civil rights\, and contribution to science surrounding Henrietta Lacks.

It involves the second generation and/or others who knew a Holocaust survivor in the telling of their parents’ or friend’s survival stories. Using excerpts of her father’s recorded testimony\, together they will tell his story of growing up in Germany under the rise of Nazism & Hitler. The hatred\, prejudice and apathy that each survivor endured during the Holocaust forged a legacy that is embodied in the lives of the second generation and in their children. This legacy is a valuable lesson for the rest of humankind. This project teaches and encourages the second generation to continue telling the survivor stories of their parents\, including the historical background and their personal observations and viewpoints\, thus continuing the legacy into the future. It has been presented to scores of school & public groups as well as at international conferences. There will be time for questions. \nSandy Lessig is a 2nd Generation Holocaust Survivor and a Commissioner at the Texas Holocaust & Genocide Commission.\n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/through-their-eyes-with-sandy-lessig/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Talk ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/sandy-for-web.png-1440x880-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20210301T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20210301T110000 DTSTAMP:20260405T145047 CREATED:20230809T081213Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230810T122337Z UID:10000566-1614592800-1614596400@hmh.org SUMMARY:Storytime: Tiara's Hat Parade by Kelly Starling Lyons DESCRIPTION:Storytime gets children ready to learn through reading\, writing\, talking\, singing\, and playing.
