SUMMARY:"The Price of Silence" Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NJCH has proudly supported the development of the NJ PBS documentary series The Price of Silence\, which explores the roots of slavery\, with multiple grant awards. \nPart three of the series will premiere on on NJ PBS at 8 p.m. on February 19. \nThe filmmakers also will hold a special screening and discussion of the series\, including the new installment\, on February 22 at Montclair Public Library. The discussion will feature filmmaker Ridgeley Hutchinson and Linda Caldwell Epps\, a founding partner of the Sankofa Collaborative and a historical consultant on the film. \nAbout the film \nNew Jersey\, the Garden State\, is known for its produce\, but not for the enslaved people who tilled the soil. In this three-part documentary series\, which was originally created for and broadcast on NJ PBS\, descendants and historians tell their stories and why it was the last northern state to end the institution of slavery\, and how NJ’s history affected those who came here in the Great Migration. Each episode is 28 minutes long\, and there will be a 5-minute intermission after the second episode. \nThe Price of Silence is a Public Media Initiative through The WNET Group. \nThis program is co-presented by the Montclair NAACP\, the Montclair History Center\, the Friends of Howe House\, the UU Undoing Racism Team\, and the League of Women Voters of the Montclair Area. \nRegistration \nThe event is free to attend\, but registration is required through Montclair Public Library’s Adult School. \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Outside the Wire: Writing Grief — Public Panel
DESCRIPTION:The Writers House at Rutgers University-Camden will host an in-person panel for veterans\, family members\, and the public highlighting the narratives and experiences of American veterans throughout the country’s history of conflict. The event is supported by an NJCH grant. \nABOUT THE PANEL \nOutside the Wire is a multi-format humanities project that highlights the narratives and experiences of American veterans throughout the country’s history of conflict. This year’s panel—featuring veterans\, writers\, and scholars whose work intersects with issues of concern to veterans and service members—will explore the diverse ways veterans\, active duty service members\, and their families have responded to and been impacted by grief. How have veterans written about grief throughout history? How has the pandemic shifted the ways veterans write or discuss grief? What does it mean to write about one’s grief or trauma with an audience in mind? In this panel\, we’ll be discussing the ways grief appears in and shapes each panelist’s work. From the violence of the battlefield\, to the aftermath of war\, to the outcome disparities of the G.I. Bill\, to grieving the person one used to be before their service\, the patterns of individualized and structural loss and grief in the armed forces have sometimes echoed and sometimes diverged from the conversation about grief in American society as a whole. \nABOUT THE PANELISTS \nCharlotte Kiechel is a historian of modern Europe and decolonization. She is a Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies (2024-2025) and Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. Previously\, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Williams College. Kiechel is currently finishing her first book\, Genocide’s Shadow: Holocaust Memory at the End of Empire. Her research has appeared in Humanity\, Journal of Genocide Research\, and the Journal of the History of International Law. She received her PhD in history from Yale University. \nDr. Juanita Kirton is published in several anthologies\, including AVOW (American Veteran Association for Women Magazine)\, A Journal of Hope and Healing\, Caribbean Writer\, Chester H. Jones Literary Journal\, Narrative\, Veterans Voices\, and elsewhere. Juanita’s poetry manuscript\, Letters to my Father\, was accepted for publication by Finishing Line Press\, 2020\, and her work can also be found in Inner Journey. Her poem Fall Skates won second prize in the Dream Quest One Writing Contest\, 2020. She is the recipient of the Baker Veterans Writing Scholarship\, 2018 to attend the Longleaf Writers Conference in Seaside Florida. She won the Sisters in Script self-publishing grant\, 1999 and her Peace Haiku was selected for Peace Mural in Philadelphia. Juanita is a member of Women Who Write\, Inc.\, International Women’s Writing Guild and Women Reading Aloud workshop series. She served on editorial staff for Clockhouse Literary Journal and as a teaching artist with Crossing Point Arts (Arts for survivors of human trafficking). Dr. Kirton served fourteen years in the U.S. Army and enjoys touring the US on her motorcycle. She lives in North East PA with her spouse. \nAdam Straus is a Marine veteran. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in The Iowa Review\, The Missouri Review\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, HAD\, Best Small Fictions 2024\, and elsewhere.

SUMMARY:Virtual Meeting\, Oral History Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:The New Jersey Council for the Humanities hosts quarterly meetings of the community of practice for oral historians and community storytellers. These virtual sessions will be provided as a platform for oral historians and community storytellers to share their experiences\, build a collective knowledge base for learning from each other’s practices\, and connect with each other and NJCH. Through discussions moderated by the group facilitators and NJCH staff\, the sessions will provide an opportunity to network with other New Jersey oral historians and community storytellers\, share challenges and successes of working in the state\, and discuss what oral history and community storytelling could look like as we move into the future. \nThe past several decades have seen the rapid growth of oral history from a subfield of traditional history into one of the most publicly-visible and prominent methods of public historical practice\, a practice which is continually evolving as technology changes. For our first group meeting of the year\, group facilitators will invite participants to share their experiences and knowledge to collectively explore the newness of oral history from multiple perspectives\, with special focus on the question: Why does oral history constantly feel new\, even to practitioners who’ve been doing it for a long time? \nIf you require accessibility services\, please contact Sylvester Cruz\, NJCH Grants and Partnerships Coordinator: scruz@njhumanities.org. The deadline to request accessibility services is February 28. Please RSVP using the Zoom link below. \nJoining the COP: If you are interested in joining one of NJCH’s Communities of Practice\, please complete the COP Interest Form at https://njhumanities.org/programs/in-the-weeds/#cop. \nVirtual registration link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/RbW04DOnRyqRMhkc4WqQAQ
