Jones offers a new history of African American women’s political lives in America. She recounts how they defied both racism and sexism to fight for the ballot\, and how they wielded political power to secure the equality and dignity of all persons. From the earliest days of the republic to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and beyond\, Jones excavates the lives and work of Black women—Maria Stewart\, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper\, Fannie Lou Hamer\, and more—who were the vanguard of women’s rights\, calling on America to realize its best ideals. \nNow revised to discuss the election of Vice President Kamala Harris and the vital contributions of Black women in the 2020 elections\, Vanguard is essential reading for anyone who cares about the past and future of American democracy. \n

SUMMARY:Campaign Madness
DESCRIPTION:Thur. 9/19 5:30 pm- 8 pm \nThursday\, Sept. 19. Head down the rabbit hole into the wild history of political campaigning across the decades with games\, drinks and fun activities. \nJon Grinspan\, curator at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History\, is the special guest at Campaign Madness. This GHM After Hours event also features fun\, games and adult beverages for sale as guests go down the rabbit hole to explore the wild history of political campaigning across the decades. \nGrinspan will be discussing his new book Wide Awake: The Forgotten Force That Elected Lincoln and Spurred the Civil War. The book is a propulsive account of American history’s most surprising\, most consequential political club: the Wide Awake anti-slavery youth movement that marched America from the 1860 election to civil war. Publishers Weekly calls Wide Awake “an insightful and moving analysis of how America descended into civil war.” \nDoors open at 5:30 pm with a cash bar\, democracy games\, and a scavenger hunt in the museum exhibitions. The conversation with Jon Grinspan starts at 6:30 pm with book signing to follow. Copies will be available for purchase from Scuppernong Books. \nFree and open to the public. \nJon Grinspan is Curator of Political History at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. He is the author of the award-winning The Virgin Vote: How Young Americans Made Democracy Social\, Politics Personal\, and Voting Popular in the 19th Century. He frequently contributes to the New York Times\, and has been featured in The New Yorker\, the Washington Post\, and elsewhere. He lives in Washington\, D.C. \nMORE ABOUT THE BOOK \nAt the start of the 1860 presidential campaign\, a handful of fired-up young Northerners appeared as bodyguards to defend anti-slavery stump speakers from frequent attacks. The group called themselves the Wide Awakes. Soon\, hundreds of thousands of young White and Black men\, and a number of women\, were organizing boisterous\, uniformed\, torch-bearing brigades of their own. These Wide Awakes–mostly working-class Americans in their twenties–became one of the largest\, most spectacular\, and most influential political movements in our history. To some\, it demonstrated the power of a rising majority to push back against slavery. To others\, it looked like a paramilitary force training to invade the South. Within a year\, the nation would be at war with itself\, and many on both sides would point to the Wide Awakes as the mechanism that got them there. \nIn this gripping narrative\, Smithsonian historian Jon Grinspan examines how exactly our nation crossed the threshold from a political campaign into a war. Perfect for readers of Lincoln on the Verge and TheField of Blood\, Wide Awake bears witness to the power of protest\, the fight for majority rule\, and the defense of free speech. At its core\, Wide Awake illuminates a question American democracy keeps posing\, about the precarious relationship between violent speech and violent actions.

SUMMARY:Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul
DESCRIPTION:Mon. 10/21 6 pm- 7:30 pm \nGreensboro History Museum and Greensboro Public Library presents author Aran Shetterly and Executive Director of Human Rights at City of Greensboro\, Dr. Love Jones\, for a conversation about his new book\,  MORNINGSIDE: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City’s Soul. The book compiles years of research and is an intimate and heart-stopping account that draws upon survivor interviews\, court documents\, and the files from one of the largest investigations in FBI history. It explores some of the persistent mysteries of the case and the contradictions about race and class. \nMany in Greensboro remember the 1979 tragedy that divided our city\, as well as its impact on the nation. On November 3\, 1979\, as activist Nelson Johnson assembled people for a march adjacent to Morningside Homes\, gunshots rang out. A caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis sped from the scene\, leaving behind five dead. Known as the “Greensboro Massacre\,” the event and its aftermath encapsulate the racial conflict\, economic anxiety\, clash of ideologies\, and toxic mix of corruption and conspiracy that roiled American democracy then—and threaten it today. \nWhen the shooters are acquitted in the courts\, Reverend Johnson\, his wife Joyce\, and their allies\, at odds with the police and the Greensboro establishment\, sought alternative forms of justice. As the Johnsons rebuilt their lives after 1979\, they found inspiration in Nelson Mandela’s post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Martin Luther King Jr’s concept of Beloved Community and insist that only by facing history’s hardest truths can healing come to the city they refuse to give up on. \nA quintessentially American story\, Morningside explores the courage required to make change and the evolving pursuit of a more inclusive and equal future. \nFree program. Book signing to follow\, with copies for sale from Scuppernong Books.
