SUMMARY:The Year the Stars Fell: Toward a Continental History of a Very Few Hours
DESCRIPTION:D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture with Philip Deloria\nOct 20\, 2022\n6:00pm-7:30pm\nHybrid – Ruggles Hall and Zoom \nThis program will be held in-person at the Newberry\, 60 West Walton Street\, Chicago\, and livestreamed on Zoom. \nIn the early morning of November 13\, 1833\, meteors from the annual Leonid showers fell in such abundance\, frequency\, and size that people across North America ran from their homes to contemplate the celestial light show. In the winter count calendars of the Great Plains\, the “Year the Stars Fell” has been used to link up disparate local histories. But the event appears in memory and in writing all across the continent\, from enslaved African Americans in the South to Latter Day Saints and Second Great Awakening revivalists in small towns\, to the scientists of Philadelphia\, Cambridge\, and New Haven\, among others. \nIn this year’s D’Arcy McNickle Distinguished Lecture\, historian Philip Deloria will discuss how the falling stars called into question assumptions about faith\, reason\, and nature. Making connections across time and place\, Deloria will also explore how these stars can help us understand an unknowably broad geography in the narrowest of historical moments. \nSpeakers \nPhil Deloria is a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation and Professor of History at Harvard University\, where his research and teaching focus on the social\, cultural\, and political histories of the relations among American Indian peoples and the United States\, as well as the comparative and connective histories of Indigenous peoples in a global context. Dr. Deloria is the author of many books and articles\, including Playing Indian and Indians in Unexpected Places\, both of which are widely recognized as essential texts in the fields of Native American and Indigenous Studies\, and American Studies. Deloria is also a trustee of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian and serves at the liaison for Harvard University within the Newberry Consortium in American Indian and Indigenous Studies. \nFred Hoxie is an esteemed historian of Indigenous peoples in North America and Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. Dr. Hoxie was on staff at the Newberry for fifteen years\, where he served first as the Director of the D’Arcy McNickle Center and later as Vice President for Research and Education. Hoxie is the author of many books and articles related to Indigenous history and has also served as a consultant and expert witness for the U.S. Department of Justice\, the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs\, the National Congress of American Indians\, and the National Park Service. \nDorene Wiese is a citizen of the White Earth Ojibwe Nation and CEO of the American Indian Association of Illinois. Dr. Wiese’s relationship with the Newberry spans nearly fifty years and includes serving as the co-chair of the Newberry American Indian Oral History Project (1982-1985) and the Seeing Indian in Chicago Photography Exhibition (1985). Wiese also serves on the Advisory Group for the library’s current Indigenous Chicago project\, which will debut in 2024. \nThis program is free and open to all. \nRegister to attend IN PERSON. \nRegister to attend virtually ON ZOOM.

SUMMARY:A Show of Hands: Handwriting in the Age of Print
DESCRIPTION:For centuries\, handwriting served as a powerful tool for communicating information\, preserving knowledge\, shaping identity\, and building empires. In our digital world\, however\, fewer and fewer people can read handwritten words. \nHandwriting has survived disruptive technologies before. The invention of printing did not diminish the need for handwriting. Instead\, it created new markets for ambitious printers and entrepreneurial writing teachers. These men and women used advances in print technologies to widen the influence of handwriting in everyday life. \nA Show of Hands focuses on people\, cultures\, and technology to illustrate how handwriting has been taught\, reproduced\, and reimagined over the past five hundred years. Displaying a range of books and manuscripts from the Newberry’s collection\, the exhibition makes the role of handwriting in the age of print newly legible. \nA Show of Hands is generously supported by the Richard C. von Hess Foundation\, the Fitzgerald Family Foundation\, and Diane and Richard Weinberg.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Making Mexican Chicago
DESCRIPTION:In Making Mexican Chicago\, Mike Amezcua offers a powerful multiracial history of Chicago that sheds new light on the origins and endurance of urban inequality. Amezcua visits the Newberry to discuss how the Windy City became a postwar Latinx metropolis in the face of white resistance. \nThough Chicago is often popularly defined by its Polish\, Black\, and Irish populations\, Cook County is home to the third-largest Mexican American population in the United States. The story of Mexican immigration and integration into the city is one of complex political struggles\, deeply entwined with issues of housing and neighborhood control. \nIn the decades after World War II\, working-class Chicago neighborhoods like Pilsen and Little Village became sites of upheaval and renewal. Mexican Americans attempted to build new communities in the face of white resistance that cast them as perpetual aliens. Mike Amezcua charts the diverse strategies used by Mexican Chicagoans to fight the forces of segregation\, economic predation\, and gentrification\, focusing on how unlikely combinations of social conservatism and real estate market savvy paved new paths for Latinx assimilation. \nFor this event\, Amezcua will speak with James Akerman\, Curator of Maps at the Newberry and the curator of the exhibition Crossings: Mapping American Journeys. \nPurchase Making Mexican Chicago online from the Newberry Bookshop. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with Crossings: Mapping American Journeys . The exhibition runs at the Newberry from February 25 through June 25.\n \n  \nThis program is free and open to all; free tickets required.
