SUMMARY:Living History Visit with Sojourner Truth
DESCRIPTION:Born Isabella Baumfree\, Sojourner Truth was enslaved for nearly the first decade of her life by the Hardenbergh family of New York\, relatives of Rev. Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh of New Jersey’s Old Dutch Parsonage. \nThe slave from a small town north of New York City changed hands several times\, sold by one brutal owner to another just as harsh. Her life included repeated beatings\, rapes and a forced marriage. In 1826\, having been promised freedom\, but then cruelly denied emancipation\, she left her current owners and found her way to the Van Wageners’ home. There she had an epiphany\, became a devout Christian\, and renamed herself Sojourner Truth\, after which she began her travels as a preacher. In 1850\, Sojourner began speaking on women’s suffrage\, believing the causes of abolition and women’s rights to be intertwined and equally important. Ms. Truth’s most quoted speech\, “Ain’t I a Woman?” was delivered at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in Akron\, Ohio. Although there has been much dispute about the words she spoke and the rhythm of her speech\, there is no debate about the power and integrity of the speaker or about the impact of the speech and the speaker’s life. Truth also helped recruit black troops during the Civil War for the Union Army\, and she worked as a Union nurse. \nDr. Daisy Century gives a commanding performance of Ms. Truth\, bringing to life a woman undeterred by incredible obstacles\, a woman who mixed with the leading figures of her day\, including Susan B. Anthony\, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. Audience members are urged to consider the twin goals of racial and gender parity of equal importance. \nNJCH is a proud sponsor of this event. \nClick here to reserve your spot »

SUMMARY:Price of Liberty Film Series: Reparations Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to be a sponsor of the Montclair History Center’s The Price of Liberty film and discussion series. \nThis is the eighth year for the series\, which focuses on issues related to race\, segregation\, integration\, and Civil Rights. This year’s 2023 series explores reparations and social justice sought for African American and Asian communities in the films Free Renty (2021) by filmmaker David Grubin and Reparations (2021) by filmmaker Jon Osaki.  \nReparations explores the four-century struggle to seek repair and atonement for slavery in the United States. Black and Asian Americans reflect on the legacy of slavery\, the inequities that persists\, and the critical role that solidarity between communities has in acknowledging and addressing systemic racism in America. This story is told by Black and Asian Americans who believe that our collective liberation can only be achieved by standing with one another. Reparations seeks to raise awareness of the Black reparations struggle and how vital it is to healing this country.  \nThe film will be screened on Wednesday\, March 29 at 7 pm at Montclair Film’s Cinema 505 at 505 Bloomfield Ave\, Montclair. Screenings will be available as a hybrid event for online participation through Zoom and free to the public\, no registration required. Screenings and discussion will be led by scholars Leslie Wilson\, PhD and Khemani Gibson\, PhD.  \nFor full information\, visit https://www.montclairhistory.org/all-events/2023/2/22/price-of-liberty-film-series-reparations-screening-amp-discussion-zyy84.

SUMMARY:Price of Liberty Film Series: Free Renty Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to be a sponsor of the Montclair History Center’s The Price of Liberty film and discussion series.\nThis is the eighth year for the series\, which focuses on issues related to race\, segregation\, integration\, and Civil Rights. This year’s 2023 series explores reparations and social justice sought for African American and Asian communities in the films Free Renty (2021) by filmmaker David Grubin and Reparations (2021) by filmmaker Jon Osaki. \nFree Renty tells the story of Tamara Lanier\, an African American woman determined to force Harvard University to cede possession of daguerreotypes of her great-great-great grandfather\, an enslaved man named Renty. The daguerreotypes were commissioned in 1850 by a Harvard professor to “prove” the superiority of the white race. The images remain emblematic of America’s failure to acknowledge the cruelty of slavery\, the racist science that supported it and the white supremacy that continues to infect our society today. The film focuses on Lanier and tracks her lawsuit against Harvard\, and features attorney Benjamin Crump\, author Ta-Nehisi Coates and scholars Ariella Azoulay and Tina Campt. \nThe film will be screened on Wednesday\, February 22 at 7 pm at Montclair Film’s Cinema 505 at 505 Bloomfield Ave\, Montclair. Screenings will be available as a hybrid event for online participation through Zoom and free to the public\, no registration required. Screenings and discussion will be led by scholars Leslie Wilson\, PhD and Khemani Gibson\, PhD.\nFor full information\, visit https://www.montclairhistory.org/all-events/2023/2/22/price-of-liberty-film-series-free-renty-screening-amp-discussion.
