SUMMARY:Historic Newton Presents Newton History Series: A Pressing Matter - 18th Century Media Literacy and Bias
DESCRIPTION:Media and information literacy are essential 21st-century skills in order to be an informed citizen. These are also skills that\, when applied in a historical context\, help us become better historians. In this discussion\, we will analyze perspective\, language\, and bias in 18th-century newspapers\, with a critical lens on how news was consumed in colonial America. \nAbout the speaker: Michele Gabrielson is a local history teacher and historic interpreter of the 18th century. When she is not teaching in the classroom\, Michele can be found leading tours\, lectures\, and demonstrations at historic sites in the greater Boston area. She specializes in interpreting the history of colonial women printers\, the stories of loyalist refugees\, and of 18th century chocolate makers! Most recently\, she has taken on building a first-person impression of the revolutionary playwright and poet Mercy Otis Warren. Michele additionally serves on several historical committees dedicated to helping preserve the history of colonial America\, is a member of the Authenticity Standards Committee for Minuteman National Historic Park\, and is the coordinator for the Battle Road Guides for the annual reenactment of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. She was recently awarded a 2024 Rising Star Award for Public History by the Massachusetts History Alliance for her programming titled\, “The Revolutionary Classroom\,” and named a finalist for the 2024 Massachusetts History Teacher of the Year. \nThis program is part of the Newton History Series\, co-sponsored by Historic Newton and the Newton Free Library. Look out for lectures in both February and March 2025. \nThursday\, January 16\, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m.\nNewton Free Library\, Druker Auditorium\nFree\, registration not required

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: Racism Not Race with Joseph L. Graves and Alan H. Goodman
DESCRIPTION:Authors Joseph L. Graves Jr. and Alan H. Goodman will discuss their book Racism\, Not Race: Answers to Frequently Asked Questions. The science on race is clear. Common categories like “Black\,” “White\,” and “Asian” do not represent genetic differences among groups. But if race is a pernicious fiction according to natural science\, it is all too significant in the day-to-day lives of racialized people across the globe. Drawing on evidence from both natural and social science\, Graves and Goodman dismantle the myth of gene-based racial difference and demonstrate that the ideology of racism created races. Racism\, Not Race shows readers why antiracist principles are both just and backed by sound science. \nJoseph L. Graves Jr. is a professor in the Department of Biology at North Carolina A&T State University. He is a fellow of the Council of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His books include The Emperor’s New Clothes: Biological Theories of Race at the Millennium (2001) and The Race Myth: Why We Pretend Race Exists in America (2005). \nAlan H. Goodman is a professor of biological anthropology at Hampshire College and a former vice president for academic affairs. He is a past president of the American Anthropological Association and codirects its public education project on race. He is a coauthor of Race: Are We So Different? (second edition\, 2019)\, among other books. \nPlease register for the zoom link here. This program is presented in partnership with the Ashland Public Library\, the event sponsor.  The zoom link will come from ashlandprograms@minlib.net.

SUMMARY:Newton Free Library presents: The Navigation Case
DESCRIPTION:Join author John Happ as he recounts the discovery of an aged and glossy leather briefcase in his family house. Learn how the contents of that case revealed the true-life saga of his father’s participation in fascinating but deadly cadet training and violent air missions in New Guinea! Happ’s book\, The Navigation Case\, reveals the drama and sacrifice expended by America’s pioneering pilots’ first ever demonstration of air superiority\, during the greatest campaign in U.S. Air Force history. The narrative flourishes into an incredible story giving the context for all the Pacific war stories from Pearl Harbor\, Guadalcanal\, Midway Island\, and Iwo Jima\, up to the avoidable catastrophes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. \nJohn E. Happ is a contributing author to the Journal of the American Revolution\, has written for the World War One website The 75th Artillery C.A.C.\, and the adventure magazine Atlantic Coastal Kayaker. \nThis program is being co-presented by Newton Free Library and Ashland Public Library\, the Newton Department of Veteran’s Services and the Norfolk County (RSVP) Retired Senior Volunteer Program. Please register here. The link zoom will come from ashlandprograms@minlib.net. Be sure to check your spam folder in case it lands there. \nIf you wish to own a copy of The Navigation Case\, they are available from Newtonville Books.
