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: 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: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.

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:SCC Author Series: "The Viking Woman of Birka" with David K. Mullaly
DESCRIPTION:Asa was a young woman who avenged a personal assault\, was forced to become a warrior and leader during her family’s travels\, and ultimately became responsible for defending Birka\, one of the great Viking trade centers. This actual Norse woman made her mark during a violent time. \n\nA Viking burial found on the Swedish island of Birka\, identified as Bj.581\, contained what was recently identified as the remains of a woman warrior and leader. What was found there confirmed that she was female and presented herself as such. Testing also suggested that she traveled extensively when she was young. What we cannot know for sure is how she grew into the role which typically was filled by men in the Norse culture. \nJoin author David K. Mullaly for talk about his latest novel. Order David’s book here. \nThis event is on Saturday\, December 5th at 1pm via zoom | FREE register here
