AFRICAN AMERICANHISTORY MONTH

EVENTS AT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN LIBRARY AT THE GREGORY SCHOOL 1300 Victor St. Houston, Texas 77019 The African American Library at the Gregory School located in the historic Freeman’s Town is housed in the Edgar M. Gregory School, which served as the first public school for African Americans in Houston. The first library of its kind in Houston and one of the few African American libraries in the country, the Gregory School serves as a resource to preserve, promote, and celebrate the rich history and culture of African Americans in Houston, the surrounding region, and the African Diaspora.

FEATURED Who’s Winning?

Friday, February 7, 2015 | 1 PM

When the choice was made by Black and White civic leaders in 1960 not to publicize the desegregation of lunch counters in Houston, many Houstonians were angered not only by the act itself but also by the apparent concealment of the information by the city’s leading media outlets. Jade Cooper’s work Who’s Winning? visually questions the strategy implemented by Houston leaders to eradicate discriminatory acts. In response to Cooper’s piece, join us for a Game Day and Chess Tournament.

Games will be provided.

In Reaction to the Civil Rights Movement Friday, February 7, 2015 | 2:30 PM

There is an increasing need for meaningful discourse, particularly on the issues highlighted by the Civil Rights Movement. Join Organized Love: Ideas on Non-violence artist Anthony Suber as he recontextualizes the purpose and latent meaning behind photographs, writings, and art that have been created in reaction to civil disobedience and non-violent struggle.

Play — Our Feet Can Tell a Story Thursday, February 12, 2015 | 11AM

This production celebrates the profound cultural contributions of African Americans through music and dance. Written by Houston playwright, Thomas Meloncon. Recommended for all ages. Seating limited. Call for reservations.

Houston Ebony Opera Guild — Robert A. Henry Lecture 2015 — The Art and Craft of the African

American Composer: An exploration of the work and audience expectations of African American composers.

Saturday, February 14, 2015 | 2 PM Led by Dr. John L. Cornelius, the discussion will focus on primary aspects of the artistic impulse: What makes a composer write in a way that is different than before? Is the level of expectation greater, lesser or the same for African-American composers? Nathaniel Dett’s The Ordering of Moses and Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts will be examined through excerpts, anecdotes and historical comparisons for insight into their gestation and fruition. Co-sponsored by Friends of Houston Ebony Opera Guild.

Du Bois Was Wrong, The Problem of the 20th and 21st Century is the Color Line Saturday, February 28, 2015 | 2 PM

Dr. James Jones III, instructor at Prairie View A&M University’s History Department, is an expert in contemporary African American history and has authored numerous publications. This community discussion will revolve around the idea that since the issue of race is still plaguing America, we must now begin to question what is the responsibility of the group that Du Bois characterizes as the Talented-Tenth to an African American community that lags behind other communities.
