Well-Read Black Girl Book Club: The Sun Is Also a Sta
<p>Join us for a discussion of the best selling novel The Sun is Also a Star ahead of the release of its movie adaptation on May 17!</p><p><br></p><h5>About this Event</h5><p><strong>The AAMI is partnering with</strong><a href="http://npbnewbo.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong> Next Page Books</strong></a><strong> to host a Well-Read Black Girl book club.</strong></p><p>The AAMI/Next Page Books Well-Read Black Girl book club will kick off with a discussion of Nicola Yoon’s 2016 best seller, <em>The Sun is Also a Star</em>. This novel explores the relationship between Natasha, a girl facing the looming prospect of her family’s deportation, "who believes in science and facts,” and Daniel, a boy who strives to be “the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations.” Over the course of a single day the two meet and start to fall in love. <em>The Sun is Also a Star</em> “[t]ranscends the limits of YA as a human story about falling in love and seeking out our futures” (POPSUGAR.com), making this an ideal book for teens and adults alike.</p><p><strong>This is a free event open to the public, but registration is requested to help us plan for space and refreshments. Get a 20% off discount on </strong><em><strong>The Sun is Also a Star </strong></em><strong>at Next Page Books when you present your registration confirmation.</strong></p><p>The Well-Read Black Girl movement started as an Instagram account created by author Glory Edim and has grown into a thriving online community and Brooklyn-based festival celebrating the literary contributions of black women. The AAMI book club will meet monthly to discuss selected books by women of color. Book selections will range in genre and theme and will be available to purchase at Next Page Books.</p> 2019-04-24 19:00:00 -0500

When the Great Migration Met the Black Diaspora
<p>Dr. Joshua Guild of Princeton University will present on the connections between the Great Migration and the journeys of the African diaspora in this Humanities Iowa funded presentation. This event is free and open to the public.</p><p><em>This program is supported by Humanities Iowa and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The views and opinions expressed by this program do not necessarily reflect those of Humanities Iowa or the National Endowment for the Humanities.</em></p><p>Presentation Abstract:</p><p>As countless writers and scholars have chronicled, black migration transformed the culture, politics, and social life of the United States in the mid-twentieth century, when the sons and daughters of Mississippi and Alabama and Georgia and North Carolina set off for new homes in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast. Yet this grand epic of migration and urbanization was not solely a domestic story. From the First World War through the height of the civil rights movement, black Southerners were on the move—but so, too, were their counterparts in the other corners of the black diaspora. During this same period, the colonies and emergent nations of the Caribbean and Africa sent their own people out by the tens of thousands, destined for distant metropoles, but also more modest locales.</p><p>What then does the Great Migration look like in diasporic perspective? What happens when a family from Jamaica moves next door to migrants from South Carolina on a brownstone block on Brooklyn? How does blackness get defined by Trinidadians and Nigerians in 1960s London? What does it look like? What does it feel like? What does it sound like? In other words—in the age of civil rights, Black Power, and decolonization—what happened when the Great Migration met the black diaspora?</p><p><br></p><p>About the Speaker:</p><p><a href="https://history.princeton.edu/people/joshua-guild">Joshua Guild</a> specializes in twentieth-century African American social and cultural history, urban history, and the making of the modern African diaspora, with particular interests in migration, black internationalism, black popular music, and the black radical tradition. A graduate of Wesleyan University, where he was a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow, he received his PhD in History and African American Studies from Yale. His research has been supported by fellowships and awards from a number of institutions, including the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and Harvard University’s Charles Warren Center for Studies in American History. In 2012, he was a fellow at Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute of African and African American Research. </p><p><br></p><p>About the Series:</p><p><strong>About the Series: </strong></p><p><a href="https://www.humanitiesiowa.org/">Humanities Iowa</a> has generously funded another series of presentations from visiting historians, professors, and lecturers. This year’s series will be tied to our current exhibit, Driven By Hope, which focuses on African American migration following the Civil War. The presentations are between February and July. Topics will focus on responses to migration – music, fashion, food, social responses, legal responses, and even some discussion on current migration and immigration issues. Be sure to join us for these free, engaging, and thought-provoking presentations!</p><p><br></p> 2019-05-10 20:00:00 -05005/23/197:00 p.m.African American Museum of IowaCedar Rapids -

Terra Nova: Ten Years
<p><strong>Terra Nova: Ten Years</strong></p><p>The CRMA celebrates ten years of collaborating with the Iowa Ceramics Center and Glass Studio. In 2009, the CRMA began meeting with artists who had completed residencies at the Ceramics Center and acquiring a piece of their work—often completed during their residency—for the Museum’s collection. This mutually beneficial arrangement allowed the artists to establish themselves in a museum collection and receive professional experience with curators while growing the CRMA’s collection of three-dimensional art. The exhibition will display artwork from every resident from 2009 to 2018 and both executive directors, a testament to the fruitfulness of this collaboration.</p><p>Image caption:</p><p>April Woolsey, <em>Ascending Blocks</em>, 2003, terracotta, 13 ¼ x 6 1/3 inches, gift of the artist, 2010.037. </p><p><em>This exhibition and accompanying educational programming have been made possible by the GreatAmerica Financial Services Corporation Donor-Advised Fund of the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.
