DESCRIPTION:Caption: Black seamen onboard ship [073]. Miriam Matthews Photograph Collection\, African American Museum and Library at Oakland. \nSACRAMENTO—Visit the Central Library in Sacramento from January 23 to March 16 for Take Me to the Water\, a multimedia exhibit curated by Dr. Caroline Collins that captures the historic panorama of the Black experience with the Pacific Ocean.  \nThe exhibit seeks to recenter the relationship between African Americans\, water\, and ships\, moving beyond the entrenched narrative of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and towards the understanding that Black people have not only existed in the Pacific region for centuries\, but played an integral role in the development of Pacific economy and society. \nThe exhibit will be accompanied by the following series of free public programs: \nFebruary 8\, 6:30 pm on Zoom: Join us as Dr. Caroline Collins has a Q&A about her exhibit Take Me to the Water: Black Histories of the Pacific with SPL archivist and historian James Scott.

Colley – his experience in the South Pacific during World War II and how it shaped the course of his life.  Lango will use rarely seen archival materials\, both in paper and audio-visual\, in an effort to bring clarity to this defining period in the life and career of Mr. Colley.   \nMarch 16: 1:00 pm at Central Library: Born to a Danish-Jewish father and Afro Caribbean mother in the Virgin Islands at the beginning of the nineteenth-century\, William Alexander Leidesdorff sailed both the Atlantic and Pacific\, forged fresh trade routes\, built influential relationships\, and eventually settled in California where he became one of the nation’s first African American millionaires. American River College professor of humanities Michael Harlan shares his research on this figure who – transitioning from mariner to landholder – became one of the most influential figures in the early development of California. \nTickets: Facilitated by the Sacramento Room\, the exhibit and all accompanying programs are free and no registration is required. For questions or comments about the series\, please contact archivist James Scott at jscott@saclibrary.org or 916-264-2795.   \nTake Me to the Water is toured by Exhibit Envoy\, and supported by California Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nExhibit Runs: January 23\, 2023 – March 16\, 2024\nLearn more at on the library’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:LOS ANGELES—Exhibit: "Comfort Women" Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Soon-duk Kim\, Taken Away\, 1995\, courtesy of Comfort Women: Then and Now–Who They Were and Why We Should Remember Them. \nLOS ANGELES—In collaboration with Comfort Women Action for Redress and Education (CARE)\, a California-based organization led by survivors of World War II-era institutionalized sex slavery and human trafficking\, a new interpretive exhibit opening in February 2024 will bring to light the experiences of these abused women and girls and their struggle for justice. Using historical photographs\, documents\, maps\, and storytelling\, the exhibition will foster public understanding of how an event that happened more than 70 years ago is still relevant in the context of present-day human trafficking and Conflict-Related Sexual Violence (CRSV)\, and how these women transformed from victims to activists. \nTens of thousands of women and girls were forced into sexual slavery by the imperial Japanese army between 1932 and 1945. Forced to work in “comfort stations” for twelve hours a day\, the women lived under deplorable conditions\, moving about as they followed the army\, then abandoned when the war ended. CARE (Comfort Women Action for Redress & Education) continues to tell the story of these women\, pushing for acknowledgment of these human rights abuses from the Japanese government. \nComfort Women: Then and Now—Who They Were and Why We Should Remember Them\nExhibit Run: February 29–July 14\, 2024 \n\nWhere: Museum of Social Justice | 115 Paseo de la Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012 \n\n\nTickets: Free admission \nVisit the exhibit website for more information. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:MENDOCINO—Nathaniel Smith and the History of African Americans in California
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Nathaniel Smith\, circa 1880-1900. Photograph courtesy of Open UCLA Collections \nMENDOCINO—Nathaniel Smith arrived in Mendocino County in the 1850s and is believed to be the first African American to settle on the coast. His life story is revealed through photos\, clippings\, and artifacts in the Kelley House Museum’s newest exhibit. Smith was at one time “known to every man\, woman and child on the coast.” He was known for his wit\, good nature\, and essential work as a hunter\, fisherman\, farmer\, and ferry operator. When Smith arrived in Mendocino\, California passed laws and instituted policies discriminating against African Americans and Native Americans. As his popularity in the region grew\, he also endured the racism of some of his neighbors\, including the frequent use of a derogatory nickname. Despite the challenges\, Smith succeeded in many professions\, owned a home and land\, and raised a family. This exhibition presents details of Nathaniel Smith’s life set against the history of California’s treatment of people of color. Follow the path of Smith’s life as he moved from his hometown of Baltimore\, traveled the world on a ship\, and eventually settled and made his life in Mendocino County. We are grateful to guest curator Alexander Wood for his thorough research and to Arlene Zornes\, Nathaniel Smith’s descendant\, for all the information and assistance. \nExhibit Run: March 1–May 27\, 2024 \n\nWhere: Kelley House Museum | 45007 Albion Street\, Mendocino\, CA 95460 \nTickets: $5 suggested donation \n\nVisit the exhibit website for more information. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Quick Grant.

SUMMARY:UCR ARTS at Riverside—Partner Screening of EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Actor Gary Oldman in a still from EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE. \nUCR ARTS—On March 23\, join UCR ARTS in Riverside for an afternoon screening of EXPOSING MUYBRIDGE (2021). This free event includes a post-film Q&A with filmmaker Marc Shaffer. \nSynopsis: Few figures have played so seminal a role in our moving picture storytelling culture as the revolutionary 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge. At the behest of his patron\, the railroad baron Leland Stanford\, Muybridge produced unprecedented images of running horses\, instantly transforming the camera into a machine of unmatched powers of perception and persuasion and setting the course for the development of cinema. \nBefore his motion photography breakthrough\, Muybridge produced one of the most celebrated early landscape catalogues of the American West. He made the first photographs of winemaking in Northern California\, produced the first photographs of native Tlingit people and of Southeast Alaska\, was the fourth to photograph Yosemite\, the first to be hired by the US government to photograph an Indian War (The Modoc War in Northern California)\, and his photographs of Central America are widely considered the most important early images of the region. \nMischievous\, resilient\, deceitful\, proud — Muybridge was a complicated man\, and his personal story is as melodramatic as his professional one is distinguished\, imbued with ambition and success\, loss and betrayal\, even the cold-blooded killing of a romantic rival. \n“The machine cannot lie\,” Leland Stanford declared of Muybridge’s horse-in-motion images. But what about the photographer? \nExposing Muybridge reveals long-buried secrets hiding in Muybridge’s photographs that force us to ask\, can we truly believe what we see in a photograph? \nFar from a relic of the past\, then\, Muybridge marks a beginning of “now\,” his work catalyzing much of our modern culture\, inspiring cutting-edge artists\, scientists\, and innovators\, people who continue to reshape how we interpret and experience our world. \nSaturday\, March 23\, 2024 |  3 pm \n3824 + 3834 Main Street\nRiverside\, CA 92501 \nFree admission!

SUMMARY:MENDOCINO—Nathaniel Smith and the History of African Americans in California
DESCRIPTION:Caption: Nathaniel Smith\, circa 1880-1900. Photograph courtesy of Open UCLA Collections \nMENDOCINO—Join the Kelley House Museum and two special guest speakers for an in-depth discussion of the life of Nathaniel Smith\, the first African American to settle on the Mendocino Coast in the 1850s. Susan Anderson\, History Curator at the California African American Museum will offer insight into the history of California’s treatment of people of color\, and Guest Curator Alexander Wood shares his research on Smith’s life.  \nWhen: Saturday\, March 23\, 4-5:30 PM \n\nWhere: Kelley House Museum | 45007 Albion Street\, Mendocino\, CA 95460 \nTickets: $7-$10\, students free. No one turned away due to lack of funds. Advance tickets recommended. \nExhibit Run: March 1–May 27\, 2024 \nNathaniel Smith arrived in Mendocino County in the 1850s and is believed to be the first African American to settle on the coast. His life story is revealed through photos\, clippings\, and artifacts in the Kelley House Museum’s newest exhibit. Smith was at one time “known to every man\, woman and child on the coast.” He was known for his wit\, good nature\, and essential work as a hunter\, fisherman\, farmer\, and ferry operator. When Smith arrived in Mendocino\, California passed laws and instituted policies discriminating against African Americans and Native Americans. As his popularity in the region grew\, he also endured the racism of some of his neighbors\, including the frequent use of a derogatory nickname. Despite the challenges\, Smith succeeded in many professions\, owned a home and land\, and raised a family. This exhibition presents details of Nathaniel Smith’s life set against the history of California’s treatment of people of color. Follow the path of Smith’s life as he moved from his hometown of Baltimore\, traveled the world on a ship\, and eventually settled and made his life in Mendocino County. We are grateful to guest curator Alexander Wood for his thorough research and to Arlene Zornes\, Nathaniel Smith’s descendant\, for all the information and assistance. \n\nVisit the exhibit website for more information. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Quick Grant.

SUMMARY:LOS ANGELES AND VIRTUAL–Can a Football Stadium Be a Black History Museum?
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection at SoFi Stadium Hollywood Park \nLOS ANGELES AND VIRTUAL—In February 2022\, SoFi Stadium marked two milestones. The first was hosting the Los Angeles Rams’ home field victory in Super Bowl LVI. The second was opening an exhibition of the Kinsey African American Art & History Collection.

SUMMARY:LOS ANGELES–Lanterns in the Dark: Afrolatine LA in Verse
DESCRIPTION:LOS ANGELES—Join Lanterns in the Dark: Afrolatine LA In Verse\, a poetry and open mic event featuring poets Lucas Rivera\, Reggie Myles\, Sean Hill\, Cameron Mouton\, and Jenise Miller and co-sponsored by LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes. This program is free and part of the public programming for the Afróntalo exhibit\, led by the CSU San Bernardino Anthropology Museum.  \nWhere: LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes | 501 N Main Street | Los Angeles\, CA 90012 \nWhen: 2-4:30 PM \nAdmission is free! \n—————————— \nAbout Afróntalo \nAfróntalo introduces you to four communities in Mexico and twenty-one Californians\, all in their own words\, to explore the depth and breadth of Afrolatiné histories\, cultures and identities. “Afróntalo” in Spanish means “Face It.” This reflects the intention of our exhibition to recognize the erasure of Afro-descendants and the prevalence of anti-blackness in the Americas. Additional meaning can be found in breaking the title into two separate phrases\, “Afro” and “Ntalo.” The first phrase\, “Afro\,” reflects the Afro-descendant focus of the exhibition. The second phrase “Ntalo\,” has at least three meanings in African languages. In Xitsonga\, spoken in parts of Zimbabwe and Eswatini\, ntalo means “abundance.” In Lingala\, a language spoken in the Democratic Republic of Congo\, ntalo means “value.” Finally in Ganda\, the primary language spoken in Uganda\, ntalo means “war.” Collectively\, these three words reflect the impetus of Afróntalo to make clear the widespread and deep roots of Afro-descendants in the Americas\, the incredible importance of Afro-descendant contributions and populations historically and today\, and the need for action to bring attention to these matters and the contemporary needs of Afro-descendant communities. \nWhere: California State University\, San Bernardino | Anthropology Museum (SB-306) 5500 University Parkway\, San Bernardino\, CA 92407 \nExhibit Runs September 21\, 2023 – June 19\, 2024\nFree and open to the public \nLearn more at on the project’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:MERCED—No-No Boy in Concert
DESCRIPTION:MERCED—Coming on the heels of his 2023 album release Empire Electric\, No-No Boy\, the media project of Ethnomusicologist and Smithsonian Folkways recording artist Julian Saporiti and co-producer Emilia Halvorsen Saporiti\, is coming to Merced for an evening performance. Called a “Master Storyteller” by All Music\, Saporiti’s songwriting examines narratives of imperialism\, identity\, and spirituality. It tells stories rooted in years of research and relationship-building\, made vibrant and profound through a rich congregation of instrumental\, environmental\, and electronically manipulated sounds from Asia and America. His performances have been called “remarkably powerful and moving\,” by Folk Alley and “with gentle\, catchy and accessible folk songs that feel instantly familiar\,” by NPR – a contrast that gets to the heart of Saporiti’s songwriting.\nAlong with the concerrt there will be an 11 A.M. workshop at the MAC on Saporiti’s approach to turning history into modern media. \nWHEN: Saturday\, April 27 at 7:00 pm \nWHERE: The MAC Black Box Theater | 645 W.
