SUMMARY:Book Signing: Little Black Boy I Love by Tiffany Reese
DESCRIPTION:Tiffany Lynette Reese was born in Birmingham\, Alabama in October of 1984. She was raised and educated in the Fairfield City School System. She developed a love for reading at a young age. Her love for reading later sparked her passion for writing. At the age of 8\, Tiffany began to write short stories and poetry. She has published two books of poetry and has now begun writing and publishing children’s books. She also loves encouraging and motivating the younger generation to do and be their best. Tiffany founded the nonprofit organization named VoiceUP Initiative which was created in February 2020 out of a dire need for our youth to be exposed to and have access to creative outlets\, tutoring services and much needed one on one attention. This is done by answering the call for inclusivity and by showing our youth that they matter. \nTiffany has won awards for her writing\, been featured on websites\, performed at several events\, and has served as a motivational speaker to up and coming high school graduates. She has also read to students at elementary schools.

SUMMARY:Film & Talkback: Paul Laurence Dunbar: Beyond the Mask
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, March 16\, 2023 at 6 pm\, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute will present a free screening of “Paul Laurence Dunbar: Beyond The Mask” a feature length documentary on the life and legacy of the first African American poet/writer to gain international fame. The filmmaker\, Frederick Lewis\, a professor at Ohio University\, will be on hand to introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion. \nBorn to former slaves in Dayton\, Ohio\, Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906) is best remembered for his poem “We Wear The Mask” and for lines from “Sympathy” that became the title of Maya Angelou’s famous autobiography “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.”  A clip of Angelou reciting Dunbar’s poem is featured in the film. \nMore than ten years in the making\, “Beyond The Mask” received major funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities with additional support from Ohio Humanities. \nKnown primarily as a poet\, Dunbar also wrote novels\, short stories and essays critical of lynching and Jim Crow laws. He was friends with WEB Dubois and Booker T. Washington and was mentored by Frederick Douglass. His story is really the story of many African Americans at the turn of the century.

SUMMARY:Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley: Let the World See
DESCRIPTION:Emmett Till\, a Black 14-year-old youth from Chicago\, was visiting family in Money\, Mississippi when he was kidnapped from his great-uncle’s home and savagely beaten and murdered by a group of white men on August 28\, 1955. Weighted by a cotton gin fan\, his lifeless body was thrown into the Tallahatchie River and was found three days later. His torture and murder were retaliation for violating the social mores of the Deep South by whistling at a white woman in a grocery store. Two white men accused of brutally murdering the young 14-year-old Emmett were acquitted by an all-white jury in 67 minutes. For Emmett’s funeral\, his mother\, Mamie Till-Mobley\, insisted that the coffin containing his body be left open. She wanted the world to see what was unjustly done to her son. Over 100\,000 people viewed his body at Roberts Temple Church of God in Christ in Chicago over three days. Photographs of his mutilated body circulated internationally\, and people stood up who had never stood up before. Emmett’s story and Mamie’s activism served as catalysts to the Civil Rights Movement. \nThe Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley Institute\, the Emmett Till Interpretive Center\, the Till family\, and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis are creating a national touring exhibit to share the tragic story of American racism—past and present—and the story of communities committed to racial healing. \nThis fall\, a vandalized roadside sign that marked a child’s murder will travel across the country. The subject matter is difficult\, but the creators of the exhibit\, the Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley Institute\, the Emmett Till Interpretive Center\, the Till family\, and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis\, believe it is vital to educate families on what has happened in the past in hopes of fostering racial harmony and reconciliation today. \nBecause of the difficult subject matter\, this exhibit is recommended for children 10 and older\, and those between 10 and 18 years of age should be accompanied by an adult. \nThis project was made possible in part by The National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom\, The Maddox Foundation\, The Institute for Museum and Library Services\, The Historic Preservation Fund and the National Park Service.
