SUMMARY:The Royale
DESCRIPTION:A play by Marco Ramirez and directed by Tyrone Phillips. \nJay “The Sport” Jackson dreams of being the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. But it’s 1905\, and in the racially segregated world of boxing\, his chances are as good as knocked out. When a crooked boxing promoter hatches a plan for “the fight of the century\,” “The Sport” just might land a place in the ring with the reigning white heavyweight champion. \nBased loosely on true events in the life of the first African-American heavyweight champion Jack Johnson\, this play asks\, “How different are things in the present?” \nTickets will go on sale Wednesday\, December 7\, at 10am\, online only.

SUMMARY:Un/Doing Lecture: "Black Freedom on Native Land: Reconsidering Reconstruction"
DESCRIPTION:The University of Illinois Human Research Institute and Department of History present the Un/Doing Lecture\, “Black Freedom on Native Land: Reconsidering Reconstruction\,” by Dr. Alaina E. Roberts from the University of Pittsburgh. \nDr. Roberts describes her research interests as focusing on the intersection of Black and Native American history from the nineteenth century to the modern day with particular attention to identity\, settler colonialism\, and anti-Blackness. This specialization stems from her own family history: her paternal ancestors were Black and Native people enslaved in the Chickasaw and Choctaw Nations. \nDr. Roberts has written for mainstream outlets like TIME magazine\, the Washington Post\, and High Country News\, and published academic essays in the Western Historical Quarterly\, the Journal of the Civil War Era\, American Indian Quarterly\, Southern Cultures\, and the Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. \nIn her first book\, I’ve Been Here All the While: Black Freedom on Native Land (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 2021)\, Dr. Roberts uses archival research and family history to upend the traditional story of Reconstruction\, connecting debates about Black freedom and Native American citizenship to westward expansion onto Native land. As Black\, white\, and Native people constructed ideas of race\, belonging\, and national identity\, this part of the West became\, for a short time\, the last place where Black people could escape Jim Crow\, finding land and exercising political rights\, until Oklahoma Statehood in 1907. \nI’ve Been Here All the While was awarded the Stubbendieck Great Plains Distinguished Book Prize by the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in history. \nHer second book will explore public history\, memorialization\, and the legacy of slavery and anti-Blackness in the Chickasaw\, Choctaw\, and Cherokee Nations.

SUMMARY:Table Talk Book Club: Sister Friends Forever
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 March 14\, 2023\, the book club will discuss Sister Friends Forever by Kimberla Lawson Roby. \n“Diane\, Michelle\, Kenya\, and Lynette have known each other since they were small children. They grew up in different neighborhoods\, but they also grew up in the same church (which is how they first met)\, and while they each attended different colleges\, they never lost touch with each other. So much so\, they regularly planned trips to come home on the same weekends\, and outside of time spent with their family and dating\, they enjoyed all their summers together as well. Now many years later\, at age forty\, they are still best friends forever and they meet for lunch on the first Saturday of every month\, but their lives couldn’t be more different”– Provided by publisher. \nBooks for this season are: \n\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.
