SUMMARY:Sunday-Afternoon-at-the-Museum: "Re-membering the 1870s Migration\," John Thiesen\, Co-director of Libraries / Archivist\, Mennonite Library & Archives at Bethel College
DESCRIPTION:The popular understanding of the immigration of Mennonites from the Russian Empire to the Plains states in the 1870s has a rather weak relationship to the actual events of the 1870s. It is only natural that a popularized explanation of the story would be very abbreviated and rather formulaic\, compared to a more in-depth examination. Many of the themes that usually appear in popular accounts are at best half-truths. The story of Mennonites bringing winter wheat is probably the most widely known stereotype. Others might include an exaggerated sense that the immigration process was unified and well-organized the lack of a sense of the context into which migration entered. Unpacking some of these stereotypes can broaden our understanding of the 1870s migration and identify other unexplored aspects of the story.

SUMMARY:Sunday-Afternoon-at-the-Museum: "Free Did Not Mean Welcome\," Dr. Carmaletta Williams\, Chief Executive Officer of The Black Archives of Mid-America
DESCRIPTION:This program will be available to watch via Zoom. You can join by clicking here. \nMillions of African Americans walked away from the South after Emancipation looking for freedom. For some it meant a journey to Kansas\, believing “free state” meant free of racial discrimination. Discover how many realized that for Black people in Kansas “free” did not necessarily mean “welcome.” \nDr. Williams is a former professor of English and African American studies at Johnson County Community College. She is currently the executive director of the Black Archives of Mid-America in Kansas City. \n“Free Did Not Mean Welcome” is part of Humanities Kansas’s Speakers Bureau and “21st Century Civics\,” a collection of resources that invite Kansans to participate in community discussions and learn more about the history of American democracy and the shared responsibilities of citizenship. “21st Century Civics” is made possible with support from “A More Perfect Union: America at 250\,” an initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nProgramming assistance courtesy Humanities Kansas Speakers Bureau program.

SUMMARY:Sunday-Afternoon-at-the-Museum: "A Mennonite Sojourn in Central Asia\, 1880-1935\," John Sharp\, professor of history (retired)\, Hesston College
DESCRIPTION:Recently retired historian and former Hesston College professor John E. Sharp will talk about the migration of 100 families from the Russian Empire to Turkistan in Central Asia in the early 1880s. John will show photos and tell stories gathered during years of research and multiple tours exploring The Great Trek migration. At a time when waves of Mennonites were COMING to North America\, a small group followed a dream to settle in Central Asia instead. Hear about their arduous experiences along the Silk Roads in modern day Uzbekistan and the welcome they received from local Muslims. How Mennonites lived in harmony with their Muslim neighbors is an inspiring story! \nPresentation will conclude with photos of the exhibits in the new Mennonite museum in Khiva.

DESCRIPTION:STAND students from all over the region have seen the effects of the vaping epidemic. Join us for a conversation about the rise of e-cigarettes and vaping\, its effects on young people\, and the positive things that STAND leaders are doing to encourage peers to make healthy decisions. Student panelists will be responding to questions about the past\, present\, and future of vaping\, as well as speaking about the impacts of vaping on their generation. \nThrough STAND\, youth are given opportunities and skills to reduce substance use\, promote positive mental health\, and take leadership to create significant change in their school and community.  Student leaders involved with STAND know that they are valuable contributors to social change and are empowered to lean into their strengths to impact the world around them. There are currently over 130 STAND students in 6 different communities that are working on creating a healthier\, more positive future for their peers. \nView the event recording.
