As
I get more information, I will post updates. But, in the
meantime, get ready - this is the 400th year of our being
dragged here, kicking and screaming to this continent from our Mother
Land, enslaved, and tortured, only to rise like the Phoenix and
accomplish what no other people have ever done under similar
circumstances. We
have much to celebrate as the most talented, creative, resilient,
intelligent, spiritual, viable, people on the planet. Stay
Blessed & ECLECTICALLY

Please
join the Library Company of Philadelphia for the exhibition opening
of
“From Negro Pasts to Afro-Futures: Black Creative Re-Imaginings”.
The
emergence of Afro-futurism as a relatively n ew
construct in African studies and Black history allows for Library
Company of Philadelphia
to
pay homage to a more fleshed out African past and also show how black
historical leaders
envisioned
a glorious black future. By displaying fragments of early Black
Americans’ past
from
their drawings, love letters, poems, songs, speeches, and protests,
this exhibition can help
visitors
grapple with the black creative genius in the quest for a people’s
liberation.
The
exhibition will be open from May 24th
to
October 18, 2019.

Legacy of Juneteenth
6:30
p.m.
Juneteenth
is a commemoration of the day when enslaved Texans
learned
they
had
been freed.
This
anniversary asks what freedom truly meant during Douglass's and Du
Bois's times,
which
spanned eras of enslavement, sharecropping, Jim Crow laws, and
lynching.
At
These Crossroads Curator Dr. Judith Giesberg will discuss
African
American freedom in the context of these men’s work.

Company of Philadelphia:
Please
join the Library Company of Philadelphia for the exhibition of
“From
Negro Pasts to Afro-Futures: Black Creative Re-Imaginings”.
The
emergence of Afro-futurism as a relatively new construct in Africana
studies and
Black
history allows for Library Company of Philadelphia to pay homage to a
more
fleshed
out Black past and also show how Black historical leaders envisioned
a
glorious
Black future. By displaying fragments of early Black Americans’
past from
their
drawings, love letters, poems, songs, speeches, and protests,
this
exhibition can help visitors grapple with the Black creative genius
in
the quest for a people’s liberation.
The
exhibition will be open from May 24th
to
October 18, 2019.
Cost
of Event, Free
