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. We will meet to select the books for next season.

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. In honor of Black History Month\, the Urbana Park District is asking the community to submit paper quilt squares filled with their own dreams that will then be “stitched” together to form a paper quilt\, which will be on display at the Phillips Recreation Center from February 1-28. \nYou can pick up a quilt template at any park district facility or download here. Please return them to the Phillips Recreation Center at 505 W. Stoughton or by email to info@urbanaparks.org by January 27th.

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.
