SUMMARY:Lynching in the United States: A Conversation with Dr. Deborah Barnes
DESCRIPTION:Join McGirt-Horton Library for a presentation by Dr. Deborah Barnes and learn about her work on the history of lynching narratives in the United States. \nThe 1893 lynching of Henry Smith in Paris\, Texas was “one of the first blatantly public\, actively promoted lynchings of a southern Black by a large crowd of southern Whites\,” according to historian Grace Elizabeth Hale. Dr. Barnes’s research identifies and critiques the ways lynching narratives were used to justify mob rule\, push political agendas\, and cement racial hierarchies in the United States by distorting reality and playing into popular imagination. \nDeborah Barnes is  the visiting research fellow at the International Civil Rights Center and Museum\, and an adjunct professor of African American and African Diaspora studies at UNCG. She is highly active with food and racial justice organizations here in Greensboro. \nRegistration is not required for this event.

SUMMARY:By the Book: Patrick Lee Lucas\, Athens on the Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Lee Lucas of the University of Kentucky (and previously UNCG) examines Grecian-style buildings and how they shaped 19th-century U.S. regional identities. Introduction by architectural historian Benjamin Briggs. \nFree program. \nCo-sponsored by Preservation Greensboro. Signing to follow with titles available for purchase from Scuppernong Books.  \n  \nAbout Athens on the Frontier \nIn 1811\, architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe spurred American builders into action when he called for them to reject “the corrupt Age of Dioclesian\, or the still more absurd and debased taste of Louis the XIV\,” and to emulate instead the ancient temples of Greece. \nIn response\, people in the antebellum trans-Appalachian region embraced the clean lines\, intricate details\, and stately symmetry of the Grecian style. On newly built public buildings\, private homes\, and religious structures\, references to classical Greek architecture became the preferred ornamentation. Several antebellum cities and towns adopted the moniker of “Athens\,” styling themselves as centers of culture\, education\, and sophistication. As the trend grew\, American citizens understood the name as a link between the Grecian style and the founding principles of democracy—signaling a change of taste in service to the larger American cultural ideal. \nIn Athens on the Frontier\, Patrick Lee Lucas examines the material culture of Grecian-style buildings in antebellum America to help recover nineteenth-century regional identities. As communities worked to define their built landscape and develop a shared Western identity\, Lucas’s study invites readers to question many of the assumptions Americans have made about divisions and cultural formation in antebellum society. \nPatrick Lee Lucas is an associate professor in the College of Design and serves as a Provost Faculty Fellow at the University of Kentucky and author of Modernism at Home: Edward Loewenstein’s Mid-century Architectural Innovation in the Civil Rights Era.
