SUMMARY:“Chinese Brothers\, American Sons” Book Talk with Author Ed Shew
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is pleased to host this FREE book talk with Ed Shew\, author of the historical novel Chinese Brothers\, American Sons. Register here.\n\nTwo Chinese brothers arrive in America in 1854 on a death ship to escape poverty and oppression in China. Li Chang and Li Yu\, ten years younger\, search for Gold Mountain in the historical novel\, Chinese Brothers\, American Sons. Fighting the inhumanity and discrimination of the West\, they work perilously to drive in the Golden Spike in 1869 and become inspirational builders of the first Transcontinental Railroad and this country.\n\nFrom the author\n“It’s the story of two Cantonese brothers who along with tens of thousands of men from southern China conquer the back-breaking construction of the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s\, the tunnels through the granite of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. No first-hand account describing the life of a Chinese railroad worker of the Transcontinental Railroad has ever been found. Historians have searched this nation and the winding road back to China\, to the roots of these forgotten\, invisible men. Many were literate\, yet not a scrap of their writing remains. As a Chinese American\, my goal is to tell this little-known story of these brave adventurers.”   – Ed Shew

SUMMARY:“The All-American Crew” Book Talk with Author Russell N. Low
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese American Museum of Chicago (CAMOC) is excited to announce this FREE book talk with author Russell N. Low\, as he returns to CAMOC to discuss his new book published this year\, The All-American Crew. Register here.\n\nAbout the book\nOn January 23\, 1943\, a B-24 Liberator and its crew of ten men disappeared without a trace in New Guinea\, leaving ten families wounded permanently and without closure. Now\, after almost 80 years of silence\, using long-forgotten letters and dusty photographs from another era\, the lives and loves of these ten men are brought to life on the pages of The All-American Crew.\n\nThey did not intend to be heroes and would not welcome the description. They were the sons of farmers\, oil company engineers\, cotton brokers\, garment industry workers\, and Chinese laundrymen. Many were descendants of the oldest colonial families in America\, who set foot on the soil of Colonial Virginia in the 1600s. Others came from families that migrated to America in the 1800s from Ireland\, Scotland\, Germany\, Austria\, and China during the tremendous immigration wave that built America. In truth\, this group of young men could only have been formed in America. They were the best that America had to offer. Each was willing to sacrifice everything for the country he loved\, driven by a patriotic fervor that was only matched by his love of flying.\n\nThe All-American Crew is based upon a true story. Stanley’s transformation from a Chinese American boy\, not yet old enough to vote or drink beer\, into a B-24 Liberator nose gunner is set against the lives of the other nine American men\, who are his crew members. Along the way\, Stanley experiences loneliness\, racism\, his first beer\, first romance\, and the horrors of war\, themes that are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago.

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club: Ariadne

But beneath her golden palace echo the ever-present hoofbeats of her brother\, the Minotaur\, a monster who demands blood sacrifice. \nWhen Theseus\, the Prince of Athens\, arrives to vanquish the beast\, Ariadne sees in his green eyes not a threat but an escape. Defying the gods\, betraying her family and country\, and risking everything for love\, Ariadne helps Theseus kill the Minotaur. But will Ariadne’s decision ensure her happy ending? And what of Phaedra\, the beloved younger sister she leaves behind? \nHypnotic\, propulsive\, and utterly transporting\, Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne forges a new epic\, one that puts the forgotten women of Greek mythology back at the heart of the story\, as they strive for a better world.

SUMMARY:Online Lunch & Learn: Jewish and Indigenous People of Australia
DESCRIPTION:Travel with author and Jewish historian Irene Shaland to Australia\, from Sydney and Melbourne to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest\, to understand the land\, its people\, and their history. Discover how Aboriginal people played an important role in opening Australia to Jewish refugees escaping from the Nazi occupied Europe and how\, years later\, the descendants of these refugees were at the forefront of the struggle for the human rights of Aboriginal people. \nIn early December 1938\, a delegation of Aboriginal people marched to Melbourne in the Australian state of Victoria. This was not a protest a State or Federal government in defense of their own human rights: it was a brave action demanding Germany to stop the prosecution of the Jews of Europe. \nThe leader of this march\, William Cooper\, was the founder of the Australian Aboriginal League and an unsung hero of the Aboriginal human rights struggle. In his own country\, Cooper and his people had no legal rights and were officially classified as an equivalent of “flora and fauna.” At the time\, Australia maintained the “White Australia Polices” and considered Jews\, though not classified as “colored\,” to be the “others” who should not be issued entrance visas.

SUMMARY:Artist Discussion with Madeline Sayet
DESCRIPTION:Artist Discussion and Q&A with Mohegan Director\, Playwright\, and Actor\, Madeline Sayet \nJoin us on Sunday\, July 10 at 6:00 p.m. as we welcome award-winning Mohegan director\, writer\, actor\, and educator Madeline Sayet to the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian. We invite you to this in-person conversation and Q&A to celebrate Sayet’s work and the production of her solo play\, Where We Belong\, now showing at the Goodman Theatre as part of a national tour presented by the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in association with the Folger Shakespeare Library.   \nWhere We Belong\, at the Goodman Theatre through July 24\, 2022\, is a personal story of an Indigenous theatre-maker’s journey across geographic borders\, personal history\, and cultural legacies; in search of a place to belong. Sayet’s autobiographical account in Where We Belong shares her experience pursuing a Ph.D. in Shakespeare in England. There she finds a country that refuses to acknowledge its role in colonialism while echoing a journey to England braved by Native ancestors in the 1700s following treatise betrayals\, forcing us to consider what it means to belong in an increasingly globalized world.  \nThis intimate conversation with Sayet is free for Mitchell Museum Members and $10 for non-members. Admission for Native citizens is always free. Tickets can be purchased in advance or onsite.   \n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information about this program\, please contact: info@mitchellmuseum.org | (847) 475-1030 | www.mitchellmuseum.org/events/
