SUMMARY:Washington’s Landing in New Jersey
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to sponsor “Washington’s Landing in New Jersey” on December 10\, 2023.  \nAs a complement to the Friends of Washington Crossing Historic Park of Pennsylvania’s “First Crossing” rehearsal event\, we invite you to experience “the rest of the story” of George Washington’s fateful trip across the Delaware in 1776! Join State Park historians\, the Washington Crossing Park Association\, the First Rhode Island Regiment and other NJ-based reenactor groups who will give the public an opportunity to experience both the Crossing and the March to Trenton through the eyes of the men and women who lived it.The encampment will take place at the New Jersey Park’s “Overlook\,” next to the historic Johnson Ferry House. Reenactors will patrol the lower park\, encouraging visitors to undertake a brief “march” over the Park’s pedestrian bridge and up to the Overlook\, where cozy fires and skilled reenactors will regale them with tales of the rich history that took place in Mercer County. The event will feature programming throughout the day\, as well as cider\, donuts and ongoing tours at the Johnson Ferry House. $10 per carload suggested donation.

SUMMARY:Not Quite White in Fiction and Film: Laura Z. Hobson’s Gentleman’s Agreement and Nella Larsen’s Passing
DESCRIPTION:The Allen and Joan Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life at Rutgers University will host a moderated discussion of two films based on novels that explore themes of racial and ethnic passing\, Gentleman’s Agreement and Passing in conjunction with its “Black Americans\, Jewish Americans: Historical Intersections\, Collisions\, and Passings\,” supported by an NJCH grant. \nGentleman’s Agreement and Passing are critically-acclaimed novels on racial and ethnic passing that have also been adapted for the screen. The novels investigate how anti-Black racism and antisemitism have shaped the integration of Blacks and Jews into White Christian American society. Penned by women\, both novels also explore issues of gender and social class. \nNella Larsen’s Passing\, published in 1929 during the Harlem Renaissance\, was adapted for film in 2021 and stars Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga as Black friends who must confront the limits of their friendship and the color line when one is more successful than the other at “passing” as White. \nLaura Z. Hobson’s bestselling Gentleman’s Agreement was originally published in 1946\, shortly after World War II\, in serial form in Cosmopolitan. In the 1947 Academy Award-winning film adaptation\, Gregory Peck stars as a gentile reporter tasked with uncovering antisemitism. He soon discovers the depth of bigotry and hatred that exists in the United States. \nRachel Gordan\, Shorstein Professor of American Jewish Culture and Society at the University of Florida\, and Donavan Ramon\, Assistant Professor of African-American and English Literature\, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville\, will discuss the novels and their adaptations to the screen in a panel moderated by film and cultural critic Gene Seymour. Excerpts from both films will be shown during the program. \nThe event is part of a series of events exploring the historical intersections of Black and Jewish Americans supported by an NJCH grant. Open to the public as part of the series is a virtual book club discussing Philip Roth’s The Human Stain on June 5 and Larsen’s Passing on June 26. Find information and RSVP for the book club events here.

SUMMARY:Open Book / Open Mind: Howell Raines\, “Silent Cavalry”
DESCRIPTION:The event is free but registration is required. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. After the discussion\, there will be a Q&A period and a book signing and sale with Watchung Booksellers. \nOpen Book / Open Mind is sponsored by Montclair Public Library Foundation\, Watchung Booksellers\, the New Jersey Council on Humanities\, Rosemary Iversen and David and Mary Lee Jones. This event is sponsored by Jill and Alan Johnson. We are also grateful for the generous support of our in-kind sponsors\, First Congregational Church of Montclair\, The George\, and Amanti Vino. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nBefore stepping down in 2003\, Howell Raines was executive editor of The New York Times. He is the author of “Whiskey Man\,” a novel\, and “My Soul Is Rested\,” an oral history of the Civil Rights movement. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1992. \nABOUT THE BOOK\n“Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta–and Then Got Written Out of History.” \nWe all know how the Civil War was won: Courageous Yankees triumphed over the South. But is there more to the story? \nAs Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Howell Raines shows\, it was not only soldiers from northern states who helped General William Tecumseh Sherman burn Atlanta to the ground but also an unsung regiment of 2\,066 Alabamian yeoman farmers—including at least one member of Raines’s own family. \nCalled the First Alabama Cavalry\, U.S.A.\, this regiment of mountain Unionists\, which included sixteen formerly enslaved Black men\, was the point of the spear that Sherman drove through the heart of the Confederacy. The famed general hailed their skills and courage. So why don’t we know anything about them?” —Penguin Random House \n“’Silent Cavalry’ marks another chapter in Raines’s storied career of giving voice to the voiceless\, highlighting the men and women who\, without proper credit\, did their part to make America a better\, more equitable place.”—Henry Louis Gates Jr. \nABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER\nEdward Ball is the author of six nonfiction books\, including his first\, “Slaves in the Family\,” and “Life of a Klansman\,” his most recent. “Slaves in the Family” (1998) is Edward’s account of his paternal family’s 170 years as slaveholders in South Carolina. It received the National Book Award for Nonfiction. “Life of a Klansman” (2020) tells the story of one of Edward’s maternal ancestors\, a carpenter in Louisiana who took up the cause of fanatical racism to become a marauder in the Ku Klux Klan. Edward has taught at Yale University and has received fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard\, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship\, in 2023. \n\nRegister on the Montclair Public Library website »

SUMMARY:Open Book / Open Mind: Ray Isle\, “The World in a Wineglass”
DESCRIPTION:The event is free but registration is required. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. After the discussion\, there will be a Q&A period and a book signing and sale with Watchung Booksellers. The event will be followed by a wine-tasting fundraising event with the Montclair Library Foundation. Details to come! \nOpen Book / Open Mind is sponsored by Montclair Public Library Foundation\, Watchung Booksellers\, the New Jersey Council on Humanities\, Dave and Mary Lee Jones\, Rosemary Iversen\, and an anonymous donor. We are also grateful for the generous support of our in-kind sponsors\, First Congregational Church of Montclair\, The George\, and Amanti Vino. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nRay Isle is the longtime executive wine editor for Food & Wine as well as the wine and spirits editor for Travel + Leisure. He writes Food & Wine’s monthly “What to Drink Next” column as well as regular feature articles for Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure’s print issues. His writing has appeared in Departures\, Wine & Spirits\, Time\, The Washington Post\, and many other national publications. He has won the IACP award for narrative beverage writing three times\, the American Food Journalists award for beverage writing\, and the North American Travel Journalists Association gold award\, and has been nominated three times for a James Beard Award in beverage writing. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nABOUT THE BOOK\n“So much of today’s wine is mass-produced\, industrially farmed\, corporate-owned\, and essentially\, ordinary. In “The World in a Wineglass\,” veteran wine writer Ray Isle explains that the way a wine is made\, and who made it\, can make a huge difference when you drink it—and why that information matters much more than knowing it scored 90 points. Or that it tastes like blueberries. Or “hints of violets and black pepper.” Isle’s enthusiasm for the grape growers and winemakers who are working sustainably or organically shines through as he shares his love for the way a glass of wine can express the place it comes from and capture the essence of the person who made it. Focusing on wines people can afford\, rather than $500 rarities\, Isle shows us where and how to find the most interesting bottles out there today.”—Simon & Schuster \n“For many years\, [Isle] has been the wine editor for Food & Wine magazine….His palate is beyond reliable.
