SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: Shipwrecks of Cape Cod - Stories of Tragedy & Triumph
DESCRIPTION:Cape Cod’s outer beach has always been known for its shipwrecks. Between 1626 and the mid-20th century\, this solitary 40-mile stretch of beach and sandbars saw the demise of over 3\,000 vessels. It’s been said that if all the wrecks were raised\, one could walk from Provincetown to Chatham without getting his or her feet wet. Join Cape Cod historian Don Wilding\, author of the upcoming book\, Shipwrecks of Cape Cod: Stories of Tragedy & Triumph\, for a look back at some of these disasters\, ranging from the 1626 stranding of the Sparrow Hawk to the Eldia in 1984 and more. \nSince the start of the millennium\, Don Wilding has been telling stories of Cape Cod Outer Beach history. An award-winning writer and editor for Massachusetts newspapers since 1985\, Don has contributed the Shore Lore history column for The Cape Codder newspaper of Orleans\, and is the author of two other books\, Henry Beston’s Cape Cod: How The Outermost House Inspired a National Seashore\, and A Brief of History of Eastham: On the Outer Beach of Cape Cod. \nClick here to register.

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: An American History of the Long Road to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Matthew Delmont for a program that will explore the origins and importance of Juneteenth – a celebration of the end of slavery in the U.S. – and of the generations of Black Americans who have fought for freedom and equality. Juneteenth was first celebrated in Texas to commemorate the date when U.S. Army troops and news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached the state on June 19\, 1865. Today\, nearly every state observes this date\, including Massachusetts\, which will celebrate Juneteenth as a state holiday for the first time this year. Juneteenth is a time for joy\, for building community and for talking honestly about our nation’s history. \nDr. Matthew Delmont is the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor of History at Dartmouth College. An expert on African-American History and the history of Civil Rights\, he is the author four books\, including most recently\, Black Quotidian: Everyday History in African American Newspapers. His next book\, Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad\, will be published by Viking Books in 2022. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Public Scholar Award to support this research. He regularly shares his research with media outlets\, including the New York Times\, NPR\, The Atlantic and Washington Post. This program is cosponsored by the Newton Human Rights Commission. \nRegistration for this program will end two hours before the start time. The login information will be sent just after registration closes. Please be sure to check your spam folder in case it lands there.

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents:  An Evening with author Nate Marshall
DESCRIPTION:This program is presented in partnership with the Chelmsford Public Library. Please register here. \nJoin Nate Marshall\, writer\, rapper and educator for a reading from his recent collection\, Finna (2020). \nDefinition of finna\, created by the author: fin·na /ˈfinə/ contraction: (1) going to; intending to [rooted in African American Vernacular English] (2) eye dialect spelling of “fixing to” (3) Black possibility; Black futurity; Blackness as tomorrow \nThese poems consider the brevity and disposability of Black lives and other oppressed people in our current era of emboldened white supremacy\, and the use of the Black vernacular in America’s vast reserve of racial and gendered epithets. Finna explores the erasure of peoples in the American narrative\, asks how gendered language can provoke violence and finally\, how the Black vernacular\, expands our notions of possibility\, giving us a new language of hope: \nnothing about our people is romantic\n& it shouldn’t be. our people deserve\npoetry without meter. we deserve our\nown jagged rhythm & our own uneven\nwalk towards sun. you make happening happen.\nwe happen to love. this is our greatest\naction. \nNate Marshall is the author and editor of numerous works including Finna\, Wild Hundreds\, The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop\, and the audio drama Bruh Rabbit & The Fantastic Telling of Remington Ellis Esq. He teaches creative writing and literature at Colorado College. Nate was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. \nRegistration will remain open until the program start time. Login information will be emailed upon registration.
