But while the famous question\, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?” resonated in the halls of Congress\, security officials were posing another question at least as frequently\, if more discreetly: “Information has come to the attention of the Civil Service Commission that you are a homosexual. What comment do you care to make?“ \nHistorian David K. Johnson relates the frightening\, untold story of how\, during the Cold War\, homosexuals were considered as dangerous a threat to national security as Communists. Charges that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were havens for homosexuals proved a potent political weapon\, sparking a “Lavender Scare” more vehement and long-lasting than McCarthy’s Red Scare. Relying on newly declassified documents\, years of research in the records of the National Archives and the FBI\, and interviews with former civil servants\, Johnson recreates the vibrant gay subculture that flourished in New Deal-era Washington and takes us inside the security interrogation rooms where thousands of Americans were questioned about their sex lives. The homosexual purges ended promising careers\, ruined lives\, and pushed many to suicide. But\, as Johnson also shows\, the purges brought victims together to protest their treatment\, helping launch a new civil rights struggle. \nThe event will be hosted virtually.  Admission is free and open to the public. \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/the-lavender-scare-the-cold-war-persecution-of-gays-and-lesbians-in-the-federal-government/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Virtual Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/lavender_scare_for_web.png__1440x880_q85_crop_subsampling-2_upscale.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20220111T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20220111T190000 DTSTAMP:20260505T081458 CREATED:20230809T082214Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T141430Z UID:10000410-1641924000-1641927600@hmh.org SUMMARY:The Systematic Persecution of Uyghurs: Conversation with a Genocide Survivor DESCRIPTION:This event is a rebroadcast of the November 2021 presentation by the Campaign for Uyghurs held at Holocaust Museum Houston \nThe Uyghurs\, a Turkic Muslim group\, have been targeted by the Chinese government for decades. In recent years\, the government has escalated a campaign of persecution and mass detention in a sprawling system of forced labor camps and prisons. Between one and three million Uyghurs—of a population of 12 million—are currently in some form of detention\, and those who are not still face rapidly tightening control restricting their ability to express their identity. – United States Holocaust Memorial Museum \nCampaign for Uyghurs works to promote and advocate for the human rights and democratic freedoms for the Uyghurs and other Turkic people in East Turkistan (referred to in China as “Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region”). It mobilizes individuals and the international community and builds bridges to take action on behalf of and to raise public awareness of the Uyghur issue with a special focus on Uyghur women and youth\, and to activate persons and entities to work together to stop the systematic human rights abuses against the people of East Turkistan. \nThis event will be hosted virtually.

The true improbability of the saga lies in the discovery of a game that unknowingly held the power to heal wounds\, build bridges\, and tie together a fractured Jewish family. From the grips of the Nazis to the top of the Olympic podium\, from the cheap seats to center stage at Madison Square Garden\, from yellow stars to silver spoons\, this story navigates the spectrum of the human experience to detail how perseverance\, love\, and legacy can survive through generations.

The experiences of women in the Holocaust are varied and Centropa’s stories and photographs of women from different countries\, of all ages and diverse socio-economic backgrounds\, help you explore human themes through real life stories. \nIn this online\, 90-minute webinar\, both Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston will share user-friendly materials about women in the Holocaust\, usable in online or in-class teaching. Participating teachers will return to class with specific activities for teaching these stories and Houston teachers will earn 1.5 hours CPE credit. \nHolocaust Museum Houston is dedicated to educating people about the Holocaust\, remembering the 6 million Jews and other innocent victims\, and honoring the survivors’ legacy. Using the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides\, we teach the dangers of hatred\, prejudice\, and apathy. \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.

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.

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.

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.
