SUMMARY:Hanover - The Use of Hiphop Rhetorics to Combat the Criminalization of Black\, Brown\, and Red Youth
DESCRIPTION:Hiphop culture grew out of the South Bronx in the 1970s and 1980s when young people of color combined their genius with available materials to produce the four original elements of hiphop: deejaying\, graffiti art\, breakdancing\, and rapping. Since then\, a confluence of young Blacks\, American Indians\, and Latino/as have used hiphop to reimagine everyday practices\, discarded technologies\, and public spaces. Marcos Del Hierro will explain and contextualize the role non-Western ways of knowing play in developing communicative practices unique to hiphop\, as well as how those practices combat systematic oppression. By looking at hiphop culture’s non-Western roots\, Del Hierro will provide insight into how hiphoppers produced sustainable models for recycling knowledge and technology to produce art\, criticism\, and pleasure\, allowing them to respond to social discourses that represent young people of color as inferior and deviant. Modes of expression like mixtapes\, rap songs\, ciphers\, subway art\, and hiphop fashion not only set trends\, but also speak about issues like urban blight\, political marginalization\, racism\, and colonization. This interactive presentation will invite the audience to participate in a “cipher\,” or hiphop circle\, as a way to experience one example of how knowledge is made in hiphop communities. Young and old audiences are invited to engage with one of the most influential and funky cultural forces of the last forty years.

SUMMARY:Durham - Waking Up White: Author Read & Community Dinner
DESCRIPTION:How could a community with good intentions be home to discrimination and racism? How does a state like New Hampshire that is mostly white fit into the national narrative of racial strife\, now and in our past? What do we know about race? Through April 2018\, residents of Madbury\, Lee\, and Durham will have the opportunity to investigate race and tolerance in a series of book discussions\, lectures\, art exhibits\, and activities for all ages. The grassroots coalition came together last May as a way to help community members embrace difficult conversations about racism. \nFunded in part by a New Hampshire Humanities Community Project Grant\, the community read features a memoir called Waking Up White and Finding Myself in the Story of Race by Debby Irving. \nThe series culminates with a special event featuring an author talk and community dinner on April 16th at Oyster River High School. Kristin Forselius\, chair of the Oyster River Community Read\, shared\, “This collaboration of businesses\, towns\, libraries\, schools\, community groups\, and houses of worship makes a strong statement about who we are and who we want to be\, which is a community that values all people.” For more information and a complete list of events\, visit www.orcread.org.

SUMMARY:Sunapee - Songs of Emigration: Storytelling Through Traditional Irish Music
DESCRIPTION:Through traditional music Jordan Tirrell-Wysocki relays some of the adventures\, misadventures\, and emotions experienced by Irish emigrants. The focus is on songs about leaving Ireland\, sometimes focusing on the reasons for leaving (a man who is driven from his land by English persecution); sometimes revealing what happened upon arrival (an immigrant drafted into the Union army during the Civil War); and sometimes exploring the universal feeling of homesickness of a stranger in a strange land (a factory worker in London missing his home in County Clare). The presenter discusses the historical context of these songs\, interspersing their stories with tunes from Ireland that made their way into New England’s musical repertoire\, played on his fiddle or guitar.

SUMMARY:Enfield - Abolitionists of Noyes Academy
DESCRIPTION:In 1835\, abolitionists opened one of the nation’s first integrated schools in Canaan\, NH\, attracting eager African-American students from as far away as Boston\, Providence\, and New York City. Outraged community leaders responded by raising a mob that dragged the academy building off its foundation and ran the African-American students out of town. New Hampshire’s first experiment in educational equality was brief\, but it helped launch the public careers of a trio of extraordinary African-American leaders: Henry Highland Garnet\, Alexander Crummell\, and Thomas Sipkins Sidney. Dan Billin plumbs the depths of anti-abolitionist sentiment in early nineteenth-century New England\, and the courage of three young friends destined for greatness.

SUMMARY:Dover - Color Me Included

SUMMARY:Bow - 12\,000 Years Ago in the Granite State
DESCRIPTION:The native Abenaki people played a central role in the history of the Monadnock region\, defending it against  English settlement and forcing the abandonment of Keene and other Monadnock area towns during the French and Indian Wars. Despite this\, little is known about the Abenaki\, and conventional histories often depict the first Europeans entering an untamed\, uninhabited wilderness\, rather than the homeland of people who had been there for hundreds of generations. Robert Goodby discusses how the real depth of Native history was revealed when an archaeological study prior to construction of the new Keene Middle School discovered traces of four structures dating to the end of the Ice Age. Undisturbed  for 12\,000 years\, the site revealed information about the economy\, gender roles\, and household organization of the Granite State’s very first inhabitants\, as well as evidence of social networks that extended for hundreds of miles across northern New England.

SUMMARY:Concord - Active Bystander Training
DESCRIPTION:Granite State Organizing Project – Active Bystander Training \nIn a time when people are quicker to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them”\, many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. \nThis two-hour training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. In this highly interactive session we present information\, share experiences\, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play\, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing\, how to move through this resistance\, tools to use when we are ready\, and basic principles to guide our actions. Please join us!

SUMMARY:Webinar - Immigration Policy’s Harmful Impacts on Children
