DESCRIPTION:Join us for an author talk with TAB columnist and community activist\, Marian Leah Knapp. Her new book\, Prohibition Wine: A True Story of One Woman’s Daring in Twentieth-Century America\, tells the story of how Marian’s  grandmother\, Rebecca Goldberg—a Jewish immigrant from the Russian Empire living in rural Massachusetts―lost her husband to a railroad accident. The tragedy left her alone with six children to raise. The book follows Rebecca through the 1920s as she transforms her egg delivery service into a more lucrative endeavor: bootlegging. \nFor five years\, Rebecca successfully provided for her customers in secret as a means to support her family until she was caught. Knapp’s story chronicles how the lower class experienced the Prohibition\, a side not always represented in popular media from the era. Rebecca’s life as a poor Jewish immigrant in Massachusetts holds a mirror to struggles still relevant today including disparities in access to education and healthcare and ongoing discrimination. This program is cosponsored by the City of Newton Department of Senior Services. \nRegistration for this program will end two hours before the start time.

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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: Shipwrecks of Cape Cod - Stories of Tragedy & Triumph

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: COVID-19 and Structural Racism
DESCRIPTION:The COVID19 pandemic has laid bare the deep racial and economic inequities that persist in U.S. society\, providing a crucial opportunity for reflection\, reckoning and repair. Structural racism continues to permeate all institutions\, including the U.S. healthcare system\, which has led to inequitable rates of COVID19 infection and death among low-income people and communities of color\, grossly hindering efforts to end the pandemic. \nThrough a discussion of how racism intersects with housing instability and other structural forces to magnify COVID-related risks both locally and at the national level\, Dr. Jen Brody\, MD\, MPH and Sonja Spears JD\, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer for Boston Health Care for the Homeless\, will challenge participants to consider how structural racism threatens the health of all. \nThis program is part of Overdue: Confronting Race and Racism in Newton. \nPlease register here.
