SUMMARY:Hudson - 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: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

On this webinar\, the report authors will discuss the study findings\, including impacts on young children\, their parents\, and early childhood educators\, and recommendations for stakeholders at all levels to safeguard the wellbeing of children in immigrant families.\n\nPresenters: \n• Wendy Cervantes\, Senior Policy Analyst\, Immigration and Immigrant Families \n• Hannah Matthews\, Director\, Child Care and Early Education \n• Rebecca Ullrich\, Policy Analyst\, Child Care and Early Education\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Plaistow - Songs of Emigration: Storytelling Through Traditional Irish Music
DESCRIPTION:Songs of Emigration: Storytelling Through Traditional Irish Music \nThrough 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. PRIOR TO THE PROGRAM\, THE TRIANGLE GUILD WILL BE HOSTING A BRUNCH AT 11:00AM THAT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

SUMMARY:Madbury - All Eyes Are Upon Us: Racial Struggles in the Northeast\, from Jackie Robinson to Deval Patrick
DESCRIPTION:All Eyes Are Upon Us: Racial Struggles in the Northeast\, from Jackie Robinson to Deval Patrick \nFrom Brooklyn to Boston\, from World War II to the present\, Jason Sokol traces the modern history of race and politics in the Northeast. Why did white fans come out to support Jackie Robinson as he broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 even as Brooklyn’s blacks were shunted into segregated neighborhoods? How was African-American politician Ed Brooke of Massachusetts\, who won a Senate seat in 1966\, undone by the resistance to desegregation busing in Boston? Is the Northeast’s history a microcosm of America as a whole: outwardly democratic\, but inwardly conflicted over race? THIS EVENT IS PART OF THE OYSTER RIVER COMMUNITY READ. THEY WILL BE READING\, WAKING UP WHITE. THERE WILL BE VARIOUS EVENTS FROM MID-JANUARY THROUGH MID-APRIL.
