SUMMARY: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:Statewide Community Readings: Frederick Douglass's Fourth of July Speech
DESCRIPTION:Be Part of the Excitement as NH Communities Read Frederick Douglass …\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“What to the American Slave Is Your Fourth of July”\nNoon\, Wednesday\, July 3\, 2019\nOn July 5\, 1852\, Frederick Douglass gave a keynote address at an Independence Day celebration at Corinthian Hall in Rochester\, New York. It was a scathing speech in which Douglass stated\, “This Fourth of July is yours\, not mine\, You may rejoice\, I must mourn.” Even though his words spoke directly to his moment in history\, they still ring with an unsettling power today. \nCoordinated by the Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire\, communities across the state will join in a simultaneous reading of Douglass’ most famous speech. Members of the public will take turns reading parts of the speech until they’ve read all of it\, together. Everyone is welcome to read; this event is free and open to the public. \nTowns and locations are listed below. All reading will start at noon. Time varies in Claremont and Exeter. Please call us at 603-570-8469 for more information. \nDover: Public Meeting Room Dover Public Library | 73 Locust St\, Dover\, NH 03820 | 603-516-6050 | \nHopkinton: Hopkinton Town Hall | 330 Main Street\, Hopkinton\, NH |heather_j_mitchell@yahoo.com \nKeene: St James Episcopal Church | 44 West Street\, Keene NH 03431 | 603-352-1019 \nLebanon: Colburn Park | 51 N Park St\, Lebanon\, NH 03766 | cbrougvie@gmail.com \nManchester: Manchester City Hall | 1 City Hall Plaza\, Manchester\, NH 03101 | 603-290-5549 \nNashua: Nashua Public Library\, Theater Room | 2 Court Street\, Nashua\, NH 03060 | lindagathright@live.com  \nPlymouth: Town Green | Post Office Sq\, Plymouth\, NH 03264 | cspring2@mac.com \nPortsmouth: Strawbery Banke Museum Visitor Center | 14 Hancock St\, Portsmouth\, NH 03801 | jubilee@blackheritagetrailnh.org  \nWarner:  Warner Town Hall | 5 East Main St. Warner\, NH  | info@warnerhistorical.org \nClaremont: Moody Park Pavillion\, top of the hill (6 pm) | 152 Maple Ave\, Claremont\, NH 03743 | reb178@myfairpoint.net  \nExeter: Exeter Historical Society (7 pm) | 47 Front St\, Exeter\, NH 03833 | (603) 778-2335| pyosha@comcasst.net  \nAbout Frederick Douglass\nFrederick Douglass was born into slavery sometime around 1818 in Talbot County\, Maryland. He became one of the most famous intellectuals of his time\, advising presidents and lecturing to thousands on a range of causes\, including women’s rights and Irish home rule. \nA fiery orator\, Douglass’s speeches were often published in various abolitionist newspapers. Among his well-known speeches is “The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro\,” presented in Rochester\, New York\, on July 5\, 1852\, a version of which he published as a booklet. There were approximately 500 attendees who heard him speak. \nDouglass had been invited to speak about what the Fourth of July means for America’s black population\, and while the first part of his speech praises what the founding fathers did for this country\, his speech soon develops into a condemnation of the attitude of American society toward slavery.

SUMMARY:International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples
DESCRIPTION:“On this annual observance\, let us commit to fully realizing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\, including the rights to self-determination and to traditional lands\, territories and resources.” — UN Secretary-General António Guterres \nThere are an estimated 370 million indigenous people in the world\, living across 90 countries. They make up less than 5 per cent of the world’s population\, but account for 15 per cent of the poorest. They speak an overwhelming majority of the world’s estimated 7\,000 languages and represent 5\,000 different cultures. \nIndigenous peoples are inheritors and practitioners of unique cultures and ways of relating to people and the environment. They have retained social\, cultural\, economic and political characteristics that are distinct from those of the dominant societies in which they live. Despite their cultural differences\, indigenous peoples from around the world share common problems related to the protection of their rights as distinct peoples. \nIndigenous peoples have sought recognition of their identities\, way of life and their right to traditional lands\, territories and natural resources for years\, yet throughout history their rights have always been violated. Indigenous peoples today\, are arguably among the most disadvantaged and vulnerable groups of people in the world. The international community now recognizes that special measures are required to protect their rights and maintain their distinct cultures and way of life. \n
