SUMMARY:Dr Knight Lecture Series: Haitian Immigration to America
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Knight in his lecture series for a conversation on Haitian Immigration to America.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBlack immigrants are often treated differently than those from other nations. Although this does not mean they are treated better\, but black immigrants face far more violence and racism – from local police\, ICE\, and the criminal justice system – than others. This lecture looks at Haitian immigrants in particular and the racial barrier they must navigate entering the United States.

SUMMARY:Movie Screening ONLINE: Älven min Vän
DESCRIPTION:Älven min Vän is a portrait of the lives of four Sami women and their relationship to the Lule River in Sweden. The film shows the consequences of the forced resettlement of Sami people who were displaced from their land because of the construction of river dams and were alienated from their indigenous culture and way of life (such as reindeer husbandry\, clothing\, language\, food and music). At the same time\, the film shows the deep relationship between the women and the river. \nRegister for this free event and receive a link to the movie. You then join the Zoom event to meet the director Hannah Ambühl. To register please email museum@samac.org

SUMMARY:February Call to Peace
DESCRIPTION:Join us to send peace and love to all countries and meet our inspirational special guest Peter Magai Bul. https://theimmigrantstory.org/lost-boy/\nWe met Peter when he started representing South Sudan in the World Peace Flag Ceremony in 2014 at Peace Day. (Buildthepeace.org) and he has been huge supporter every year since then. Peter embarked on harrowing journey as one of the “Lost Boys and Lost Girls of Sudan” at the age of 8 when his ethnic Dinka population was attacked by the Sudanese government sending thousands of boys and girls separated from their families to survive over a decade struggling for their lives in exile. Hear about how he relied on his strong cultural upbringing to make it through years of unimaginable conditions and then went on to draw on his experiences to become a human rights activist and a community organizer\, inspiring youth to leverage their own experiences to make a change in the world.\nJoin us on Facebook live or on zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83606483086

SUMMARY:Swedish American Museum Book Club w/ Author Helen Lundström Erwin
DESCRIPTION:Book Club Online\n\nJanuary 29 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm\n\n\n\nThe 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. \nFor the January event the author\, Helen Lundström Erwin will join us for book club!! \nHere are the upcoming book club books:\nJanuary\nSour milk in sheep’s wool by Helen Lundström Erwin\nFebruary\nAntiphony by Laila Stien\nMarch\nPakkis by Khalid Hussain \nThe books can be bought in the Museum Store. \nAbout Sour milk in sheep’s wool\nSweden\, at the turn of the 20th century. Two women\, an unwed mother and a suffragette\, living lives so different from each other it’s as if they were separated by time\, not just circumstance. They don’t know it\, but destiny is pulling them toward each other and their fates are interlinked. \nAnette spins lies to hide that she’s an unwed mother with many children. And with different fathers for most of them\, a staggering truth she can barely admit even to herself. Without the ability to protect herself from unwanted pregnancies\, she moves each time she gets pregnant\, telling the same tale as always\, she’s a widow. \nHanna closes her café for the night and opens the door to her activist friends\, creating a space safe from curious husbands and disapproving eyes. Inspired by the pioneer temperance woman Emelie Rathou\, who linked alcohol abuse with the oppression of women\, they join forces with the rest of the nation and the world and begin the long fight for Women’s Suffrage. \nHelen Lundström Erwin\, author of the acclaimed James’ Journey\, has created a well-researched\, and riveting second historical novel. By introducing revolutionary women like Elise Ottesen-Jensen\, the co-founder of International Planned Parenthood Federation\, you’ll be transported back in time\, joining our foremothers while they fight for reproductive justice and the right to vote. \n\nMore info and Zoom event ID at: https://swedishamericanmuseum.org/event/book-club-online-19/

SUMMARY:NHM Virtual Book Club: Fifteen Dogs
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, January 20th at 7pm we will be discussing Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis Virtually via Zoom. \nJoin the National Hellenic Museum’s Virtual Book Club in our second year! \nFacilitated by NHM’s Resident Scholar Dr. Katherine Kelaidis & Manager of Programs & Events Cairo Dye\, each month the NHM Virtual Book Club chooses a book that is either inspired by the Hellenic legacy or by a Greek American author (and sometimes both!). Then we gather to discuss the book on Zoom. \nBook Club is free to join and meets on the third Thursday of each month at 7pm CST \nIn January\, we will be discussing Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis. \nSupport NHM with your purchase of Fifteen Dogs! When you buy your copy through this link\, a portion of the proceeds will go to NHM: https://amzn.to/3m3l89A \nSee our other book club selections this year by clicking here \nMore about Fifteen Dogs: \nA bet between the gods Hermes and Apollo leads them to grant human consciousness and language to a group of dogs overnighting at a Toronto vet­erinary clinic. Suddenly capable of more complex thought\, the pack is torn between those who resist the new ways of thinking\, preferring the old ‘dog’ ways\, and those who embrace the change. The gods watch from above as the dogs venture into their newly unfamiliar world\, as they become divided among themselves\, as each struggles with new thoughts and feelings. Wily Benjy moves from home to home\, Prince becomes a poet\, and Majnoun forges a relationship with a kind couple that stops even the Fates in their tracks. \nAndré Alexis’s contemporary take on the apologue offers an utterly compelling and affecting look at the beauty and perils of human consciousness. By turns meditative and devastating\, charming and strange\, Fifteen Dogs shows you can teach an old genre new tricks. \n  \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nhm-virtual-book-club-fifteen-dogs-tickets-227135196487
