No advanced reading or preparation is required. Dress to sit outdoors. \n250 years ago in the spring of 1773 Phillis Wheatley traveled from America to England to publish Poems on Various Subjects\, Religious and Moral\, making her the first published African-American poet and the first African-American female published writer. This season’s reading room features the works of three early American Black women in words. \nThursday\, March 16: Phillis Wheatley\nThursday\, April 20: Esther “Hetty” Saunders\nThursday\, May 18: Sojourner Truth \nNJCH is a proud sponsor of this event series. \nClick here to reserve your spot » URL:https://njhumanities.org/event/out-of-doors-evening-redwood-reading-room-2/ LOCATION:Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites\, 71 Somerset Street\, Somerville\, NJ\, 08876\, United States CATEGORIES:Sponsorships ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://njhumanities.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/9670bbc96ec4c42db124194124f444b9-e1676519090939-gcpcfX.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230521T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230521T150000 DTSTAMP:20260412T051904 CREATED:20230501T201943Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T015958Z UID:10000140-1684677600-1684681200@njhumanities.org 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 » URL:https://njhumanities.org/event/living-history-visit-with-sojourner-truth/ LOCATION:Wallace House & Old Dutch Parsonage State Historic Sites\, 71 Somerset Street\, Somerville\, NJ\, 08876\, United States CATEGORIES:Sponsorships ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://njhumanities.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/7e1cd03a190d863cc8ecdb4c179bcafe-uL2wZr.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230603T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230603T140000 DTSTAMP:20260412T051904 CREATED:20230802T015956Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230802T015958Z UID:10000141-1685793600-1685800800@njhumanities.org SUMMARY:Philosophy Walk-and-Talk: “Perception and Nature” DESCRIPTION:Join Middlesex College philosophy professors Giuseppe Rotolo and Anthony Celi for a summer “walk-and-talk” that combines philosophy with the great outdoors.
