SUMMARY:Healing Black Chicago 101: DuSable to Harold Washington
DESCRIPTION:Join HAMOC and author Dr. Rhonda Sherrod for a conversation on her new book\, coming out this month. Q&A following the presentation. \nAbout this event\nDr. Rhonda Sherrod has written a compelling collection of beautiful essays addressing some of the understated pain in the Black community\, especially as it relates to women and girls. She documents her own childhood trauma history—that is shared by far too many Black women and girls—as well as traumas inflicted upon the Black community as a whole. \nHer book\, Surviving\, Healing\, and Evolving: Essays of Love\, Compassion\, Healing\, and Affirmation for Black People\, out this month includes the essay\, “Still Enchanted After All These Years” . This essay focuses on the history of Black Chicago—from DuSable to Harold Washington—and how Washington’s electrifying victory as the first Black mayor helped empower Barack Obama\, who was a community organizer in Chicago when Harold was mayor.

SUMMARY:Genealogy Session Online
DESCRIPTION:Swedish Settlements on the South Shore\nBy Kenneth Schoon \nImmigrants from Sweden were the first non-English speaking people to move into the Indiana Dunes region and establish settlements.  Their legacy can be seen today. \nThis program\, and its accompanying book\, note that these Swedes established more than a dozen local churches\, most of which are still active today.  They built homes out of logs\, lumber\, and bricks\, cleared and farmed the land\, worked for the railroads and the brick factories\, and established businesses\, some of which are still in business today.  Several of the early Swedes served in the Union army in the Civil War.  Nearly all got American citizenship\, and some were elected to political office. \nThe fourth of July was widely celebrated\, but so were Swedish traditions at Midsummer and the Christmas season.   Today descendants of Swedes still learn Swedish songs and dances and celebrate the traditions of their forbears.  Even non-Swedes know about Vikings and may eat Swedish meatballs.  Smörgåsbord has become an American word—though to Swedes it has slightly different meaning.  Swedes and their descendants have helped build the Calumet Area. \nKenneth Schoon is the author of “Swedish Settlements on the South Shore of Lake Michigan.” Although not a Swede\, he is married to the granddaughter of Swedish immigrants. His earlier works include Calumet Beginnings\, Dreams of Duneland\, and Shifting Sands\, all published by Indiana University Press\, and City Trees published by Stackpole Books. \nCost is free for Swedish American Museum Genealogical Society members; $10 for non-members to participate. Member reservations appreciated and can be made via email to genealogy@samac.org or by calling the Museum at 773.728.8111 and non-members can use the button below.

SUMMARY:Swedish American Museum Book Club Online
DESCRIPTION:The Museum book club reads a wide range of books from the Nordic countries.\nThis is a free event and you can register by emailing museum@samac.org. \nHere are the upcoming book club books:\nFebruary\nAntiphony by Laila Stien\nMarch\nPakkis by Khalid Hussain \nThe books can be bought in the Museum Store. \nAbout Antiphony\nThe narrator\, a young social scientist who works for a newspaper in Oslo\, goes to Northern Norway on leave after a colleague tells her she lacks initiative. On the surface she is supposed to write a book about structural relationships among the Sami (formerly Lapps). However\, loneliness\, in spite of a good social life with her friends in Oslo\, a tense relationship with her own family\, and a feeling of stagnation in her career seem to be the main reasons for her going away. \nShe becomes acquainted with three generations of Sami women\, hears their stories and attempts to make sense of them. Soon she loses her role as impartial observer and becomes more involved in their lives. The more she discovers\, the less she feels she understands. \nThe novel presents a wonderful picture of Sami culture in transition and in the face of inevitable outside forces. In this sense it is a much more universal work demonstrating how an indigenous culture reacts to a dominant culture and what happens over the course of a relatively short period. The novel is also an anti- or non-ethnography in a sense\, blurring the lines between the center/periphery (narrator/Sami women). \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83441966464
