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: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: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:Francestown - Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUprooted is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during the Humanities Council’s Fences & Neighbors initiative on immigration. It tells the story of five refugees who escaped from war-torn countries to resettle in New Hampshire. The film explores what it means to be a refugee and how it feels to make a new life in a strange place\, often without English language skills\, family\, a job\, or community contacts. The film leaves us pondering questions of belonging and citizenship. What does it mean to be an American? Once a refugee\, are you destined always to be a refugee? What are our responsibilities toward one another? \nA New Hampshire Humanities presenter introduces the film and leads a post-film discussion. See bios and contact information in Presenter Directory for Whitney Howarth\, John Krueckeberg and Sara Withers.

SUMMARY:Bedford - TEDxAmoskeagMillyardSalon: "Story"
DESCRIPTION:The goal of the TEDxAmoskeagMillyard salon events is to spread ideas and build community in our corner of Southern New Hampshire. We will be creating space (in a local place) and time (about 90 minutes) to watch TED talks together and have informal facilitated discussion\, in person\, about the ideas we encounter in the selected talks. \nThe theme of the first salon is “Story.” From the time we are children\, we know the world through stories.

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.

Can we connect as humans\, with greater empathy\, to immigrants and the personal challenges and experiences they face when starting over?
