SUMMARY:SAN BERNARDINO–Exhibit: Afróntalo
DESCRIPTION: 21 Afrolatiné Californians and 4 Afro-Mexican communities in their own words  \nSAN BERNARDINO—One in four Latin Americans has African ancestry. And yet\, there is a general deficit of knowledge regarding the presence and prevalence of blackness throughout the Americas. This is more than a simple matter of obscurity. It is a problem of erasure\, invisibility and dislocation. Afróntalo 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. \nWhy is the exhibit called Afróntalo?  \n“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 \nAdditional events and public programs part of the Afrolatine California project: \n \nLearn more at on the project’s website. \nThis project is supported by a Humanities for All Project Grant.

SUMMARY:SACRAMENTO–Exhibit: Take Me to the Water: Black Histories of the Pacific
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. The talk will focus on the relationship between African Americans and the Pacific. This zoom-based program encourages audience participation. \nZoom Link \nFebruary 15\, 7 pm on Zoom: Join Sacramento Public Library archivist James Scott and Marcquarie University (Sydney\, Australia) Professor of History Chris Dixon as they discuss his recent book\, “African Americans and the Pacific War\, 1941-1945: Race\, Nationality and the Fight for Freedom\,” (Cambridge University Press\, 2018). This zoom-based program encourages audience participation. \nZoom Link \nFebruary 24\, 1:00 pm at Central Library: Join us in the Sacramento Room at Central Library as Sacramento historian and Emmy-nomiated documentarian Chris Lango discusses a lesser known but vital chapter in the life of Sacramento attorney and civil rights champion Nathaniel S. 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–HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY screening
DESCRIPTION:LOS ANGELES—Please join us for the LOS ANGELES PREMIERE of HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY on February 8 at 6 pm at UCLA. Los Angeles County is the place where most of the film’s mystery unfolds\, home of the very special “ethnoburbs” of San Gabriel Valley. “A good documentary scratches your soul\,” said the late Marina Goldovskaya\, my legendary UCLA film professor.  \nAsian American Panorama| USA | Documentary | Mandarin\, English | Subtitled | 2023 | 117 mins \nWhere: James Bridges Theater\, 1409 Melnitz Hall\, UCLA\, Los Angeles \nWhen: Thursday\, February 8\, 2023 | 6-8:35 pm \nTickets: Free \nSynopsis\, written by Kim-Anh Schreiber: Dotted across the suburban sprawl of San Gabriel\, California are so-called “maternity hotels\,” all-inclusive birth tourism packages for expectant Chinese families. Offering plane tickets\, third-trimester accommodations\, hospital selection (across a spectrum of all-cash price points)\, and final mailing of a social security card back home\, hotel brokers enable birth to a child on American soil. Through a series of observational vignettes\, HOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY traces a network of actors across the supply chain of this shadow economy: motel managers\, nannies\, companions\, and expectant mothers themselves – two whose parallel stories heartbreakingly intersect at the film’s center. \nMoving through nondescript\, Southern California apartments\, hospital rooms\, and chain stores\, the actors depicted become strange bedfellows in the literal and metaphorical waystations of another country. Director Leslie Tai thrusts her viewer into the immediacy of being in-between nations\, life stages\, labor\, and birth. Unfolding conversations unveil the myriad negotiations each of these actors make as they navigate the byzantine\, bureaucratic systems of American healthcare\, law\, and citizenship\, often from the most vulnerable of positions. \nHOW TO HAVE AN AMERICAN BABY is a portrait of the Chinese repurposing of the American dream\, accessed through the unexpected intersection of birth and commerce. We witness two countries seen through the eyes of the other\, fixed upon a vanishing point of illusory opportunities. \nScreening to be followed by Q&A with Leslie Tai. \nThis project is supported by a California Documentary Project Grant.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL–Program: Take Me to the Water: Black Histories of the Pacific
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. The talk will focus on the relationship between African Americans and the Pacific. This zoom-based program encourages audience participation. \nZoom Link \nFebruary 15\, 7 pm on Zoom: Join Sacramento Public Library archivist James Scott and Marcquarie University (Sydney\, Australia) Professor of History Chris Dixon as they discuss his recent book\, “African Americans and the Pacific War\, 1941-1945: Race\, Nationality and the Fight for Freedom\,” (Cambridge University Press\, 2018). This zoom-based program encourages audience participation. \nZoom Link \nFebruary 24\, 1:00 pm at Central Library: Join us in the Sacramento Room at Central Library as Sacramento historian and Emmy-nomiated documentarian Chris Lango discusses a lesser known but vital chapter in the life of Sacramento attorney and civil rights champion Nathaniel S. 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.
