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: "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.
