SUMMARY:ASALH Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group May Program/Meeting
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nIn person Event | May 17\, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. CST  \nOn Saturday\, May 17\, 2025\, at 1:00 pm\, the Greater Kansas City Black History Study Group will host its monthly program and meeting. This month\, we delve into the life\, work\, and legacy of a lesser-known Kansas City historical figure\, C.H.J. Taylor. Although C.H.J. Taylor was an influential journalist and political organizer during the 1890s\, he has been mostly forgotten by historians. To date\, there have been only two scholarly studies on his career: a scholarly article from the 1980s and a recent book-length study. The latter will be the focus of this presentation entitled\, “From National Prominence to Historical Obscurity: The Story of Kansas City-Based C.H.J. Taylor”\, which will consider possible reasons for Taylor’s lesser-known recognition. \nOur guest speaker for the day will be Dr. Ian Munro\, Emeritus Professor at William Jewell College in Liberty\, MO\, where he taught English and Humanities. He has also taught at Wuhan University in China\, Abdullahi Bayero Kano University in Nigeria\, and as a Fulbright Fellow\, at Ibnou Zohr University in Morocco. Dr. Munro is a graduate of the University of Victoria\, British Columbia\, and the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Munro’s primary areas of teaching and research have been African\, African American\, and Afro-Caribbean literature and history. \nPlease join us![/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”262833″ img_size=”full” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The 855 women of the “Six Triple Eight” were the only African American women to serve in Europe during the war. \nThe ceremony on May 18th will take place at the grave of Marion VanOrkey\, an Allentown\, NJ native who was a member of the Battalion and whose story prompted The Allentown Village Initiative (TAVI) to seek passage of a bill designating every May 18th as “Six Triple Eight Day” in New Jersey. Ms. VanOrkey rests in Allentown Methodist Cemetery\, located at the corner of Hamilton & Broad Streets in Allentown\, NJ. She was born on May 18\, 1914. \nState Senator Shirley Turner\, president pro tempore of the New Jersey Senate\, sponsored the bill and will attend the ceremony.  The bill was recently signed into law by Governor Philip D. Murphy. The ceremony will also be attended by members of Ms. VanOrkey’s family\, who still live in the community. \nThe public is welcome to attend this free event sponsored by TAVI\, a volunteer community service organization dedicated to historic preservation\, the arts and support of our small business community.

DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nWebinar | May 29\, 2025 | 3:00 p.m. EST to 4:30 p.m. EST \nAlthough the National Park Service (NPS) is often thought of as a straightforward preservation agency\, it is also a cultural institution that has fundamentally shaped the relationship between national identity\, memory\, and land in the United States. \nThis webinar gathers together artists\, NPS staff\, and scholars to discuss the vital role that art and visual culture play in place-making. Topics include how photography\, murals\, screen printed posters\, and even printed fabrics engage(d) viewers; and how art has forged a sense of belonging for some\, while excluding others. \nThis webinar celebrates the recent publication of a special issue of the College Art Association’s Art Journal dedicated to the National Parks. \nClosed captioning will be provided.

Its mission: “Promote\, research\, preserve\, interpret and disseminate information about Black life\, history and culture to the global community.” \nFreedom Schools have deep roots.

SUMMARY:Free Public Events to Feature Contemporary Art\, Living History\, Culinary Experiences\, and Cultural Storytelling\, June 19–21\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:HOUSTON\, TX – April 29\, 2025 – The Buffalo Soldiers National Museum (BSNM) proudly announces Juneteenth @160: U.S. Colored Troops’ Call to Freedom | Our Journey to Progress\, a dynamic three-day community celebration honoring the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth and the enduring legacy of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) and how they influenced the Buffalo Soldiers. Held from June 19–21\, 2025\, Juneteenth @160 offers a unique blend of art\, history\, education\, and cultural experience\, rooted in themes of resilience\, resistance\, and the continuing journey toward Black liberation in America. \n“Juneteenth @160 is a cultural reckoning and a tribute to the generations of Black soldiers who fought to become citizens under the protection of the US Constitution. These were formerly enslaved individuals who have fought for freedom\, self-determination\, and dignity as human beings\,” said Desmond Bertrand-Pitts\, CEO of BSNM. “We are honored to create a space for learning\, reflection\, and belonging.” \nThe USCT played a vital role for freedmen and the formerly enslaved to assert their rights as full American citizens and the realization of Juneteenth. Comprising over 180\,000 Black soldiers\, the USCT fought for the Union during the Civil War and was instrumental in occupying Confederate territories to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation. In Texas\, where emancipation was not yet enforced\, USCT regiments arrived in Texas and helped assert federal authority and ensure freedmen could not be put back into bondage after June 19\, 1865. \n“The USCT laid the foundation for the inclusion of Black soldiers in the Regular Army which would later be known as the Buffalo Soldiers\,” said Bertrand-Pitts. \nAfter the Civil War\, a selection of USCT veterans transitioned into service with the newly formed Regular Army regiments—the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 38th\, 39th\, 40th and 41st Infantry Regiment\, established in 1866. These veterans brought with them battlefield experience\, discipline\, and leadership skills developed during their service in the war. Their combat-tested courage and military knowledge shaped the critical role that Buffalo Soldiers would undertake in the American Western Frontier. \nMore importantly\, the USCT’s performance during the Civil War challenged the belief that Black men were unfit for military service. As BSNM honors their stories and influence\, Juneteenth @160 will feature: \n“Terms & Conditions: The Promise vs. Reality” Art Exhibition: On June 19\, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the University Museum at Texas Southern University\, this thought-provoking opening night will feature a traveling contemporary art exhibition exploring post-1865 liberation through the lens of General Order No. 3\, which declared freedom for formerly enslaved individuals\, along with the legacy of the USCT and the Emancipation Proclamation. Featured artists include Ann ‘Sole Sister’ Johnson\, Nathaniel Donnett\, Alexis Pye\, David McGee\, Kaneem Smith\, Cat Martinez\, Tay Butler\, Lanecia A. Rouse\, Phillip Pyle II\, Mo Nikole\, Brian Ellison\,  Anthony Suber\, and Robert Pruitt. \nThe exhibition is curated by Seba R. Suber\, event and cultural producer\, with historical interpretation led by Cale Carter II\, Director of Exhibitions\, Jason Fung\, BSNM Archivist and Dr. Michelle Tovar\, Director of Education. The evening will also feature a keynote address by Major General Barrye Price\, Ph.D. (Ret.) and a panel discussion\, “The Promise vs. Reality: Exploring the Legacy of Juneteenth.” A curated culinary experience inspired by West African traditions will accompany the event. The exhibition remains open through July 6\, 2025. \nLiving History Encampment + Roots & Resilience: Taking place on June 20–21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Houston Community College – Central Campus\, this family-friendly experience blends education and community connection with:\n\n\nUSCT Living History demonstrations by Living History Co. \n\n\nYouth history activities\, arts and crafts \n\n\nVendor market featuring Black-owned local businesses and resources for veterans \n\n\nPartner-led history tables and storytelling spaces \n\n\nJuneteenth @160 is presented in collaboration with cultural partners including Texas Southern University\, Project Row Houses\, Houston Community College\, Memorial Park Conservancy and historian Sam Collins III. \nJuneteenth @160 is made possible through generous support from Kinder Foundation with additional support provided by Humanities Texas\, HAA\, AARP\, Smartwater\, and General Orders No. 3 Vodka. Continued partnership development is in progress. \nRegistration is now open at buffalosoldiersmuseum.org/juneteenth160. \nFor more information about Juneteenth @160\, volunteer opportunities\, community partnerships\, or sponsorship opportunities\, visit buffalosoldiersmuseum.org/juneteenth160.
