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.

SUMMARY:Book Reading and Discussion: David Janzen\, "Once Upon a Time There Was a Three-Year-Old Grandpa"
DESCRIPTION:This event will include a reading\, discussion\, and book signing by the author. \nABOUT THE BOOK: This eccentric title recalls a collection of tales first told to grandchildren at bedtime. Each chapter begins with a fun-to-read farmer-boy story from the 1940s\, an era before industrial farming when horses\, cows\, and chickens were still members of the family. These anecdotes each launch a theme that splashes down with further development in later decades of life. Diverse topics include imaginative play\, construction crew humor\, animal intelligence\, contemplative prayer and journal writing\, rural and urban farming\, communal wisdom\, and affordable housing\, along with a few serious pranks and the prophetic mischief that follows. This memoir is also a confession in the pattern of Augustine\, reflecting on God’s in-breaking initiatives and the writer’s emerging sense of calling in lifelong conversation with Jesus. Its stories offer a series of curiosity-driven on-ramps into eight decades of transformative experiences for curious souls to ponder an open-eyed faith and a communal way of life for the long haul. \nABOUT DAVID: David Janzen is a member of Reba Place Fellowship in Evanston\, Illinois. He has worked as a teacher\, affordable housing developer\, refugee asylum program manager\, and nurturer of the latest generation of Christian intentional communities. He is the author of several publications on Christian community leadership\, including The Intentional Christian Community Handbook and Seven Radical Elders.

SUMMARY:"Alps on the Plains: The Life & Work of Emil Kym" - Steve Friesen\, museum consultant and former director\, Buffalo Bill Museum & Grave
DESCRIPTION:A Swiss immigrant\, Emil Kym decorated houses. He could hang wallpaper\, do wood graining on doors and paint a hallway so the walls looked like marble. But what he did best was paint scenes of his home country in Mennonite farmhouses. Some of those scenes as well as Kym’s woodgraining tools are on exhibit at the Kauffman Museum. Steve Friesen studied Kym’s work for his master’s thesis in 1976 and has begun new research on this folk artist. Friesen’s lecture will include photos of Kym’s paintings as well as new information gathered on a visit to his hometown in Switzerland.

SUMMARY:"Galloping Gourmet: The Buffalo Bill Nobody Knows\," Steve Friesen\, museum consultant and former director\, Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave
DESCRIPTION:A hard-riding hunter\, frontier scout\, and showman\, at one time Buffalo Bill was one of the best-known men in America. But a gourmet? William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was as comfortable eating at Delmonico’s in New York City as consuming wild game around a campfire. He dined with kings\, queens\, princes and presidents as well as men like Thomas Edison\, Oscar Wilde\, and James McNeill Whistler. He was even a food innovator\, opening the first Mexican restaurant east of the Mississippi in New York City\, introducing popcorn to the European continent\, and promoting American cocktails to England. Steve Friesen\, author of the new culinary biography “Galloping Gourmet: Eating and Drinking with Buffalo Bill” will provide a whole new perspective on this famous American character who even visited Newton a couple of times.
