SUMMARY:Historic Newton presents: Activism and 'Redeeming Uncle Tom'
DESCRIPTION:Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin\, galvanized anti-slavery forces. Yet activism for human rights was growing in the early 19th century. Our screening of “Redeeming Uncle Tom\,” a film about Josiah Henson\, whose life story inspired Stowe\, informs our discussion afterwards. Learn how Henson fits into the beginning of an organized movement for abolition\, which coalesced in the 1830s and led to Stowe using her novel to promote social justice. Our guest speaker\, Holly Jackson\, is the author of American Radicals and a professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston. This program is funded in part by a grant from Mass Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Register here to attend this Zoom program.

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: How The Mothers Of Martin Luther King\, Malcolm X & James Baldwin Shaped A Nation

SUMMARY:Scandinavian Cultural Center presents: Connecting with Nature the Norwegian Way
DESCRIPTION:Join author Oliver Luke Delorie to discuss his book\, Fruiluftsliv: Connect with Nature the Norwegian Way. \nTranslated from Norwegian as “free life air\,” friluftsliv highlights the basic need for humans to get outside and connect with the natural world. It’s not about conquering nature\, as in climbing the highest mountain\, or about camping and other activities: it’s about truly finding harmony and becoming one with the outdoors. Whether you live in the city or out in the countryside\, this inspiring guide will show you how to enter a friluftsliv state of mind. It explains how spending time in nature and feeling its rhythms\, even when it’s something as simple as a magical Sunday walk in a local park\, can improve our well-being and encourage productive self-reflection. \nSaturday\, March 27th | 1pm EST | $5; free for SCC Members | register here \nABOUT OLIVER: Nicknamed “Monk” the day he was born\, Oliver Luke Delorie grew up steeped in Eastern philosophy and martial arts. He is also the author of the playful 100 Small Ways to Quit Worrying and 100 Small Ways to Manage Time. Delorie lives in Victoria\, British Columbia\, Canada.
