SUMMARY:Grant Application Draft Review Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Invited applicants may submit one draft for review by the draft deadline. NJCH staff will typically provide written feedback on your draft proposal\, but it can be incorporated into scheduled meetings. Our goal is to keep the turnaround time as short as possible\, but it will be dependent upon demand\, and we recommend that you submit your draft before the draft deadline. \nWe do not require complete applications for draft review. If you are unable to complete the full application by the draft review deadline\, a completed budget and partial narrative is often more useful than a complete narrative and no budget.  \nDraft applications should be sent to grants@njhumanities.org as Word\, Excel\, and/or PDF documents. An easy way to create a PDF of your draft application is to click the “Application Packet” button in the application page of our online grant management system.  \nFor full information on grants\, visit https://njhumanities.org/grants/grants-overview.

SUMMARY:Open Book / Open Mind\, Melissa Ludtke\, "Locker Room Talk"
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is a proud sponsor of Open Book / Open Mind\, a flagship series of literary events organized by Montclair Public Library whereby top authors discuss their new books and current events in front of a live audience. Next in this series is a discussion with pioneering sports journalist Melissa Ludtke on her book Locker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside. \nThe former journalist with Sports Illustrated\, ABC Sports\, Time\, and Nieman Reports will discuss the book with former Sports Illustrated and USA Today sports journalist Kelly Whiteside\, now professor at Montclair State University. \nThe program is co-presented by NJCH grantee the Yogi Berra Museum. \nLocker Room Talk: A Woman’s Struggle to Get Inside chronicles Ludtke’s groundbreaking 1978 federal legal case in which the judge ordered baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn to provide equal access for women so they could work alongside their male peers in Major League Baseball locker rooms. With her ruling in Ludtke v. Kuhn\, Judge Constance Baker Motley opened doors that several generations of young women have walked through in filling jobs in sports media that previously were only held by men. Even with her breakthrough case\, many key issues revolving around gender and equity remain in play 46 years later. \nRegistration \nThe event is free but registration is required. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. After the discussion\, there will be a Q&A period and a book signing and sale with Watchung Booksellers. The program is co-presented by the Yogi Berra Museum.

SUMMARY:Grunin Center Presents "Nobuntu"
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to sponsor a performance by Nobuntu\, the internationally acclaimed female a cappella quartet from Zimbabwe\, at the Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College. \nAbout Nobuntu \nNobuntu is renown for its inventive performances that range from traditional Zimbabwean songs to Afro Jazz to Gospel. The ensemble’s concerts are performed with pure voices\, augmented by minimalistic percussion\, traditional instruments such as the Mbira (thumb piano) and organic\, authentic dance movements. \nNobuntu was nominated for Best Musician of the Year at the Zimbabwe International Women Awards in London in 2015 and are currently a two-time winner for the Best Imbube Group at the Bulawayo Arts Awards 2017 and 2019. In the last few seasons\, the quintet has performed at festivals and concert halls in Italy\, Austria\, Germany\, Belgium\, the Czech Republic and throughout the African continent. The ensemble was a huge critical success at “Trans-Vocal” in Frankfurt and “Voice Mania” in Vienna. Their first tour to Canada\, in 2016\, included performances in Toronto\, Winnipeg\, Vancouver\, and Victoria. \nThe word Nobuntu is an African concept that values humbleness\, love\, unity and family from a woman’s perspective. The ensemble represents a new generation of young African women singers who celebrate and preserve their culture\, beauty\, and heritage through art. The ensemble’s mission is the belief that music can be an important vehicle for change\, one that transcends racial\, tribal\, religious\, gender\, and economic boundaries. \nFor more information and to purchase tickets\, visit https://www.grunincenter.org/event/nobuntu/.

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
