SUMMARY:Online - Tea Talk Series: Claiming Our Place: Blacks in “White Spaces”
DESCRIPTION:America has a long and troubled history of segregated public spaces. When Amy Cooper called the police on Christian Cooper (no relation) in Central Park last year\, the incident underscored a familiar script that continues America’s legacy of enslavement. Some whites perceive African Americans who venture into public spaces as dangerous and disruptive intruders. All it took was a white woman to spout a racist dog whistle and the park\, a public space\, was made unsafe for a Black man. \nThe 2021 Tea Talk Series\, as a way to rethink our assumptions about race and place\, explores how African Americans navigate various “white spaces”\, spaces where Blacks and People of Color are marginalized\, typically absent\, and unexpected. Through shared stories and dialogue this series will present ideas and offer opportunities for understanding and reconciliation. \nThe winter Tea Talk series\, presented by the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire (BHTNH) and sponsored in part by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities\, is a series of participatory lectures related to New Hampshire’s Black history and African American culture. \nThese events are free and open to the public. \nAll talks are Sunday afternoons from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. \nRegistration for each talk is required. \nBlack Heritage Trail of NH: 2021 Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks\nClaiming Our Place: Blacks in “White Spaces”\nSundays February 7 – March 14\, 2PM-4PM \n\nFeb. 7 – Racism\, Land & the American Farming Landscape\nFeb. 14 – Writing While Black: The Afrofuturistic Writer\nFeb. 21 – Race & Care of the Soul\nFeb. 28 – It Happened in NH: Black History in the Granite State\nMar. 7 -The Power of Place: Martha’s Vineyard and the Growth of the Black Elite\nMar. 14 – On Shaky Ground: Students of Color in Predominantly White Institutions\n\n

SUMMARY:Online - The Black Church: This is Our Story\, This is Our Song
DESCRIPTION:Produced in partnership with the New Hampshire Humanities\, New Hampshire PBS presents an online screening and discussion of the new PBS documentary\, THE BLACK CHURCH: THIS IS OUR STORY\, THIS IS OUR SONG on Monday\, February 8th at 6pm. \nThis moving two-part series from executive producer\, host and writer Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, traces the 400-year-old story of the Black church in America\, all the way down to its bedrock role as the site of African American survival and grace\, organizing and resilience\, thriving and testifying\, autonomy and freedom\, solidarity and speaking truth to power. The documentary reveals how Black people have worshipped and\, through their spiritual journeys\, improvised ways to bring their faith traditions from Africa to the New World\, while translating them into a form of Christianity that was not only truly their own\, but a redemptive force for a nation whose original sin was found in their ancestors’ enslavement across the Middle Passage. \nAfter the 30 minute screening\, join for a discussion with New Hampshire Humanities Public Programs Director Dr. Tricia Peone\, in conversation with Dr. Vaughn Booker\, Assistant Professor of Religion and African and African American Studies at Dartmouth College. \nThis event will be on OVEE here – https://ovee.itvs.org/screenings/1x5fm \nRun a test to ensure OVEE works properly on your computer. \nTHE BLACK CHURCH: THIS IS OUR STORY\, THIS IS OUR SONG airs on NHPBS: \n\nTuesday\, February 16 @ 9pm on NHPBS | Episode One\nWednesday\, February 17 @ 9 pm on NHPBS | Episode Two\n\nwith numerous replays on NHPBS and online at nhpbs.org
