SUMMARY:Table Talk Book Club: The Violin Conspiracy
DESCRIPTION:Join the Champaign Public Library’s casual monthly get-togethers to talk about books by contemporary African American writers. New members are welcome; call 217/403-2090 for more information. \nOn January 10\, 2023\, the book club will discuss Brendan Slocumb’s novel The Violin Conspiracy. \n“Ray McMillian loves playing the violin more than anything\, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother\, who thinks he should get a real job\, not the fact that he can’t afford a high-caliber violin\, not the racism inherent in the classical music world. And when he makes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather’s fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius\, his star begins to rise. Then with the international Tchaikovsky Competition–the Olympics of classical music–fast approaching\, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is determined to get it back. But now his family and the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray’s great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin belongs to them. With the odds stacked against him and the pressure mounting\, will Ray ever see his beloved violin again?”– Provided by publisher. \nBooks for this season are: \n\nJan 10\, The Violin Conspiracy by Brendan Slocumb\nFeb 14\, The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray\nMar 14\, Sister Friends Forever by Kimberla Lawson Roby\nApr 13\, Brighter by the Day by Robin Roberts *Note: This is a joint meeting with the library’s other book clubs and will be held at the Main Library.\nMay 9\, No book discussion.

SUMMARY:"I Have a Dream" Quilt Submission
DESCRIPTION:In 1963\, Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech to thousands of civil rights marchers in Washington D.C. This has famously become known as his “I Have a Dream” speech\, in which he talks about the racial injustices black people face and how it “is the time to make real the promises of democracy.” \n60 years later\, his speech is still as powerful and relevant as it was when first delivered.

SUMMARY:University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, School of Social Work Poverty Simulation
DESCRIPTION:The impact of poverty in any community can be both devastating and hastening. It is a reality for many individuals and families; it’s difficult to truly understand poverty unless you have experienced poverty. In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s advocacy work around poverty issues\, the School of Social Work\, in partnership with the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion\, invites students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members to engage in a poverty simulation that helps participants begin to understand what life is like with a shortage of money and an abundance of stress. The simulation enables participants to view poverty from different angles and discuss the potential for change within themselves and their local communities. It is designed to sensitize participants to the realities of poverty. \nRegister for the simulation here: https://forms.illinois.edu/sec/604961494 \nFor additional information contact Sharva Hampton-Campbell\, shamcamp@illinois.edu. \nSponsored by the School of Social Work and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion.

SUMMARY:Stacey Robinson Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Concurrent with “In Blackest Shade\, In Darkest Light” exhibition\, Krannert Art Museum is hosting an exhibition featuring Black faculty in the School of Art & Design. This exhibition includes participating artists Patrick Hammie and Stacey Robinson. The collaborative exhibition explores Black identity\, collectivity\, positionality\, healing\, innovation\, and education as explored via a multi-leveled/multi-dimensional immersive\, critical\, and openly reflective space. For more information\, please visit the Krannert Art Museum website. \nParticipating artist\, Stacey Robinson will give a lecture on February 2\, at 10:45 am in the William M. Staerkel Planetarium. A “Chat & Chill” with the artist will be held at 12 pm\, in the gallery. \nRobinson is one of seven artists participating in “In Blackest Shade\, In Darkest Light\,” In addition to a full-length video\, Robinson’s work includes three large digital drawings that are 70 x 44 inches each. The images are inspired by the artist’s vinyl record collection and difficult-to-find additions that elude him during research to connect golden-age hip-hop samples to their source material. His collection ultimately fuels the series that incorporates animation and comic book illustrations ignited by the Black cultural wealth of hip-hop. He explains his process “as a collage culture of various influences that tether the past to the speculative future through the Ghanaian concept of Sankofa\, meaning to ‘go back and get it.’ We go back and retrieve Black pasts\, bring them into the future with us as a means of defining our Black liberated futures.” \nRobinson was a 2019-2020 Nasir Jones Hip-Hop Fellow at Harvard University’s Hutchins Center for African & African American Research. After completing his Masters of Fine Art at the University at Buffalo in 2015\, the artist has traveled internationally\, discussing the complexities of decolonized future spaces. As one half of the collaborative team “Black Kirby” with artist John Jennings\, Stacey creates graphic novels\, gallery exhibitions\, lectures\, and workshops that use world-building strategies to imagine new worlds inspired by design\, hip-hop\, the arts and sciences\, and diasporic African belief systems. \nRobinson’s latest graphic novels are I Am Alfonso Jones\, written by Tony Medina (2017)\, available from Lee & Low Books\, and Across the Tracks: Remembering Greenwood\, Black Wall Street\, and Tulsa Race Massacre\, written by Alverne Ball (2021)\, available from Abrams Books. Recent exhibitions include Ascension of Black Stillness (CEPA Gallery in Buffalo\, NY) and The Black Angel of History (Carnegie Hall’s ‘Afrofuturism Festival) in 2022.

SUMMARY:Table Talk Book Club: The Personal Librarian
DESCRIPTION:Join the Champaign Public Library’s casual monthly get-togethers to talk about books by contemporary African American writers. New members are welcome; call 217/403-2090 for more information. \nOn February 14\, 2023\, the book club will discuss The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray. \n“The remarkable\, little-known story of Belle da Costa Greene\, J. P. Morgan’s personal librarian-who became one of the most powerful women in New York despite the dangerous secret she kept in order to make her dreams come true\, from New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict and acclaimed author Victoria Christopher Murray. In her twenties\, Belle da Costa Greene is hired by J. Pierpont Morgan to curate a collection of rare manuscripts\, books\, and artwork for his newly built Morgan Library. Belle becomes a fixture on the New York society scene and one of the most powerful people in the art and book world\, known for her impeccable taste and shrewd negotiating for critical works as she helps build a world-class collection. But Belle has a secret\, one she must protect at all costs. She was born not Belle da Costa Greene but Belle Marion Greener. She is the daughter of Richard Greener\, the first Black graduate of Harvard and well-known advocate for equality. Belle’s complexion isn’t dark because of her alleged Portuguese heritage that lets her pass as white-her complexion is dark because she is African American. The Personal Librarian tells the story of an extraordinary woman\, famous for her intellect\, style\, and wit\, and shares the lengths she must go-for the protection of her family and her legacy-to preserve her carefully crafted white identity in the racist world in which she lives”– Provided by publisher. \nBooks for this season are: \n\nFeb 14\, The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray\nMar 14\, Sister Friends Forever by Kimberla Lawson Roby\nApr 13\, Brighter by the Day by Robin Roberts *Note: This is a joint meeting with the library’s other book clubs and will be held at the Main Library.\nMay 9\, No book discussion. We will meet to select the books for next season.

SUMMARY:Dr. Smith presents: "Food for Those Who Want to Be Free: Race\, Food Security\, and Civil Rights in Black Life"
DESCRIPTION:Food is a cultural artifact in the lives of Black people.  But what happens when food is transformed into a weapon to oppress them? What happens when Black people in turn (re)weaponize food as a tool to emancipate themselves from such oppression?  In this talk\, Dr. Bobby J. Smith II grapples with these questions through a brief case study from his forthcoming book\, Food Power Politics: The Food Story of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement.  This case study reveals how the relationship between race\, food security\, and civil rights in Black life forces us to rethink how we understand food and the history of Black people.
