Clark Street \nFREE\, PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED – Click here to register \n\n\nSigned by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19\, 1942\, Executive Order 9066 led to the incarceration of 120\,000 Japanese Americans during WWII.  Every year\, the Japanese American community in Chicago comes together to commemorate EO9066 as a reminder of the fragility of civil liberties in times of crisis and the importance of remaining vigilant in protecting the rights and freedoms of all. \nDay of Remembrance 2022 features a variety of speakers celebrating the passage of the Teaching Equitable Asian American Community History (TEAACH) Act.  Signed into law on July 9\, 2021\, the TEAACH Act makes Illinois the first state to mandate that Asian American history be taught in public schools.  Join us to learn why the TEAACH Act matters\, how the task of implementation is being addressed\, and how the Japanese American community is contributing to the effort.  The program will feature a showcase of classroom-ready resources for teaching about EO9066 and incarceration through a Chicago lens. \nChicago-based Ho Etsu Taiko will take the stage to perform a new work composed especially for Day of Remembrance 2022.  Ho Etsu Taiko blends the deep-rooted culture of Japanese American drumming with influences that inspire and celebrate the diversity of their performing members. \nMasks and vaccinations required.  There will be no refreshments served at this year’s event. \n  \nTHIS EVENT IS SPONSORED BY THE CHICAGO JAPANESE AMERICAN COUNCIL\, CHICAGO JAPANESE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOCIETY\, JAPANESE AMERICAN CITIZENS LEAGUE – CHICAGO CHAPTER\, JAPANESE AMERICAN SERVICE COMMITTEE\, AND JAPANESE MUTUAL AID SOCIETY OF CHICAGO

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Operation Payback
DESCRIPTION:What We Didn’t Know Then\, What We Know Now\nProf. Luciuk is a renowned scholar in the field of Ukrainian studies specializing in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States. He is a full professor of political geography at the Royal Military College of Canada.\n\nProf. Luciuk will discuss a book\, titled “Operation Payback: Soviet Disinformation and Alleged Nazi War Criminals in North America.” The book is a compilation of approximately 40 commentaries written by Prof. Luciuk in the past four decades\, along with documentation related to the topic of how Jewish and Ukrainian communities in the United States and Canada were manipulated with disinformation and set against each other since the 1960s in an overt plan to set both communities against each other.\n\nThe key document of the book is the translation of the KGB memorandum written in October 1985 that outlines Operation Payback (Retribution)\, which confirms that the KGB had several directorates created to advance Jewish demands that Nazi war criminals be brought to justice by alleging that many of these war collaborators were living among Ukrainian emigres. These allegations were repeated so often that they were presumed to be true.

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: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
