SUMMARY:Black Reconstruction in America 1860-1880 - ch.5 - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The pioneering work in the study of the role of Black Americans during Reconstruction by the most influential Black intellectual of his time. \nThis pioneering work was the first full-length study of the role black Americans played in the crucial period after the Civil War\, when those enslaved had been freed and the attempt was made to reconstruct American society. Hailed at the time\, Black Reconstruction in America 1860–1880 has justly been called a classic. \nFrom webdubois.org- “Du Bois published Black Reconstruction (BR) in 1935 with Harcourt\, Brace and Company (New York). He completed it after leaving the NAACP and returning to Atlanta University. Its subtitle\, “An Essay Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America\, 1860-1880\,” neatly summarized his central argument in the book. Accordingly\, Black Reconstruction foregrounds several recurring Du Boisian themes: the role of African American agency in the building of the U.S.A. and the significance of promoting African American equality and freedom in order to achieve the promise of democracy. The book directly challenged dominant views of the time that the Reconstruction era in American history was a disaster for the South and for the country. It received much comment\, including criticisms\, from across the political spectrum. \nCopies of Black Reconstruction are available from Underground Railroad Education Center (Underground Railroad History Project) for $25 + $5 postage. Please contact Mary Liz Stewart at 518-779-4038 to make arrangements. \nDue to the COVID-19 situation the book discussion will be held via Zoom – Meeting connection information follows:\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/5209859664 \nMeeting ID: 520 985 9664\nOne tap mobile\n+19292056099\,\,5209859664# US (New York)                                                                                                +13017158592\,\,5209859664# US (Germantown) \nDial by your location\n+1 929 205 6099 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Germantown)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\nMeeting ID: 520 985 9664\nFind your local number: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kwG6LNKCr \n

SUMMARY:Metro Friends - 5 Boros to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Join in the planning of 5 Boros to Freedom 2020 – a celebration of African American history and culture in the five boroughs of New York City. \nHIGHLIGHTING THE PINKSTER THEMES OF SELF-RELIANCE\, SUPPORTING OTHERS\, SELF-ASSERTION\, AND COMMUNITY\, 5 BOROS TO FREEDOM LOOKS TO CELEBRATE THESE THEMES THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGRAM OFFERINGS TO BE HELD IN EACH OF THE FIVE BOROUGHS IN MAY 2020. \nOriginally a Dutch religious holiday brought to New York City by Dutch colonists\, Africans transformed Pinksterfest into an African festival that came to be known as Pinkster and which was enjoyed by an eclectic mix of young and old\, African and European\, enslaved and free\, and Native Americans. Drawing upon African cultural traditions\, Pinkster provided the occasion for creation of a social space and communal identity. Pinkster was banned in New York State in 1811 out of fear of the gathering of large numbers of celebrants in one location at one time. \n5 Boros to Freedom intends to revive and renew this community celebration\, honoring the communal ancestors\, paying tribute to their fortitude and courage\, and drawing strength from them as we celebrate these themes of self -reliance\, supporting others\, self-assertion and community in the present. 5 Boros to Freedom is an extension of the work of Underground Railroad History Project with the intention of supporting and celebrating community engagement with the rich African American history that resides in the five boroughs of New York City as we reclaim and celebrate the silenced voices of our communal ancestors\, drawing upH their strength to carry on our work for justice today.

SUMMARY:The Underground Railroad: Whose Story Do We Tell?
DESCRIPTION:What more is there to know about the Underground Railroad? It was all about Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass and helping escaping slaves find freedom in Canada\, wasn’t it? Whose voices contributed to this image of Underground Railroad history? Where did this understanding come from? \nNew research conducted by Paul and Mary Liz Stewart\, Scholars-in-Residence at Russell Sage College\, has uncovered some fascinating documentation that demonstrates that there is far more to this story than we have traditionally been taught. \nJoin with the Stewarts to find some answers to the quandary\, “Whose story do we tell?”

SUMMARY:URHP Reads - Black Reconstruction in America 1860-1880
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join in the discussion of Black Reconstruction in American 1860-1880 by E.B. Du Bois. \nBooks are available for $25 from Underground Railroad History Project.  \nDu Bois published Black Reconstruction (BR) in 1935 with Harcourt\, Brace and Company (New York). He completed it after leaving the NAACP and returning to Atlanta University. Its subtitle\, “An Essay Toward a History of the Part Which Black Folk Played in the Attempt to Reconstruct Democracy in America\, 1860-1880\,” neatly summarized his central argument in the book. Accordingly\, Black Reconstruction foregrounds several recurring Du Boisian themes: the role of African American agency in the building of the U.S.A. and the significance of promoting African American equality and freedom in order to achieve the promise of democracy. \nThe book directly chal­lenged dominant views of the time that the Reconstruction era in American history was a disaster for the South and for the country. It received much comment\, including criticisms\, from across the political spectrum. (http://www.webdubois.org) . \nThe reading and discussion schedule is as follows – \n\nJanuary 10 – Introduction\, Chapters 1\, 2\, 3\nFebruary 14 – Returning to Introduction\, Chapters 1\, 2\, 3\nMarch 13 – Chapters 4\, 5\nApril 10 – Chapters 6\, 7\nMay 8 – Chapter 8\nJune 12 – Chapters 9\, 10\nJuly 10 – Chapters 11\, 12\nAugust 14 – Chapters 13\, 14\nSeptember 11 – Chapters 15\, 16\, 17
