FUNK FAMILY UPSTANDER SPEAKER SERIES The Funk Family Upstander Speaker Series showcases individuals and organizations who stand up for human rights on a local, national, or global level. Named in loving memory of Blanche & Max Goldberg | Fannie & Isaac Funk. 3

JOSEPH KIM Tuesday, February 20, 6 p.m. Reception | 7 p.m. Program In Person at the Museum $10 per Person | Free for Members Hear from Joseph Kim, author of the memoir Under the Same Sky, as he speaks to his childhood in North Korea and the power of hope. Joseph will be joined by Hannah Song, president and CEO of the U.S. nonprofit Liberty in North Korea. Joseph Kim was five when famine came to North Korea. He and his family, along with millions in the country, struggled to survive. When Joseph was 12, his father died of starvation, and he was separated from his mother and sister. Now homeless, Joseph was placed in a detention center and labor camp for children. Knowing the odds of survival were against him, he escaped into China and ultimately came to the United States as a refugee with the help of missionaries and the international nongovernmental organization Liberty in North Korea, known as LiNK. Today, Joseph is an associate and expert-in-residence in freedom and democracy at the George W. Bush Institute. He speaks out about human rights abuses in North Korea, the importance of human dignity for all, and the impact hope can have on the fight for freedom and democracy. Hannah Song is CEO of Liberty in North Korea (LiNK). She joined in 2006 as deputy director, managing day-to-day operations and coordinating overseas programs, including underground shelters and refugee resettlement efforts in the United States and in South Korea. LiNK is an international NGO working with the North Korean people to achieve their freedom. LiNK has helped more than 1,300 refugees and their children escape through a modernday underground railroad, supporting them in their new lives in freedom and helping build their capacity as storytellers, advocates, and agents of change.

A KNOCK AT MIDNIGHT: BRITTANY K. BARNETT Co-presenter:

Tuesday, April 9 6 p.m. Reception | 7 p.m. Program In Person at the Museum $15 per Person | Free for Members Around the globe, the United States consistently ranks as having one of the highest incarceration rates per capita. This mass imprisonment rate is coupled with lengthy sentences for nonviolent offenses, inhumane prison conditions, and little access to resources on readjusting to life outside prison. Join us for a discussion with Brittany K. Barnett about our country's view of human rights through the lens of the criminal justice system and what changes can be implemented to better serve formerly incarcerated individuals and their families. About the Speaker Brittany K. Barnett is an attorney, author, and entrepreneur who is committed to reforming the criminal justice system and creating sustainable change in the lives of formerly incarcerated people. Through her pro bono services, she has helped free dozens of clients serving life sentences under draconian drug laws, including several who received executive clemency from President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump.

HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS The History Highlights lecture series features Holocaust and human rights topics presented by Museum historians and educators.

Yee Haws and Yarmulkes: The History of Jews in Texas Tuesday, January 9, at 7 p.m. Virtual via Zoom | Free From 16th century explorers to post-World War II refugees, Jewish immigrants have called Texas their new home for centuries. The first Jewish Texans established towns and communities throughout the state, and successive waves of immigrants at the turn of the 20th century became influential voices in several industries and civic life, despite periods of widespread antisemitism and delays in immigration. Join Ackerman Family Director of Education Latricia Davis for a discussion on the lives and legacies of the Jews of Texas.

28 Days: The Piccadilly Cafeteria Protest Wednesday, May 29, at 7 p.m. Virtual via Zoom | Free On May 29, 1964, Clarence Broadnax went to the Piccadilly Cafeteria in downtown Dallas for a late lunch. While waiting in line, he was told by an employee that the Piccadilly did not serve Black people. Broadnax refused to leave and was arrested, returned to the Piccadilly immediately upon his release, and was arrested again. His return to the restaurant sparked a 28-day protest that ultimately led to the desegregation of the Piccadilly Cafeteria, just before the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Join Senior Director of Education Dr. Charlotte Decoster and Ackerman Family Director of Education Latricia Davis for a discussion of the Piccadilly Cafeteria demonstration in the broader context of the Civil Rights Era. 6

Walk this Way FOOTWEAR FROM THE STUART WEITZMAN COLLECTION OF HISTORIC SHOES ON VIEW FEBRUARY 9 TO JULY 14, 2024

From silk boudoir shoes created for the 1867 Paris Exposition to leather spectator pumps signed by the 1941 New York Yankees, Walk this Way features more than 100 striking pairs of shoes. This exhibition presents footwear – spanning nearly 200 years – from the collection of high-fashion shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, and businesswoman and philanthropist Jane Gershon Weitzman. An integral part of our everyday lives, shoes not only protect our feet, but tell stories centered around women’s labor activism, the fight for suffrage, and the sexual revolution. Production and consumption of footwear serve as pathways toward discovering the vital role women played in history. Women take center stage as this exhibition explores a variety of shoes, including those worn by suffragists as they marched through the streets, Jazz Age flappers as they danced the Charleston, and starlets who graced the silver screen in the postwar era. In exploring the process of shoemaking, the role of women in one of the first mass production industries, and their participation in the forming of organized labor, the exhibition presents the story of the shoe as it has never been told before. This exhibition has been organized by The New-York Historical Society.

Special Exhibition Programs WALK THIS WAY: SPECIAL EXHIBITION OPENING

Thursday, February 8, 6 p.m. Reception | 7 p.m. Program

Votes for women! Beginning in the 19th century, women marched, petitioned, and campaigned tirelessly for the right to participate in elections. Throughout the various groups and eras of activism, suffragists wore specific styles of dresses, sashes, and footwear as they marched through city streets. Join us to celebrate the opening of our newest special exhibition, Walk this Way: Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes, with a presentation on how suffragists embraced fashion as part of their fight to win the vote.

FROM HEEL TO TOE: BEHIND WALK THIS WAY Tuesday, March 19, 7 p.m. Program

From high-buttoned leather boots to retro stilettos, the evolution of footwear has paralleled women’s social and political advancements throughout the last century. Although considered an integral part of our everyday lives, shoes are able to tell stories centered on women’s labor activism, the fight for suffrage, and the sexual revolution. Valerie Paley, Walk this Way exhibition curator, and Edward Maeder, author of the exhibition’s catalogue, join us for a look behind the fabric.

9 TO 5: THE STORY OF A MOVEMENT FILM SCREENING

Thursday, May 23, 7 p.m. Program

When Dolly Parton sang “9 to 5,” she was doing more than just shining a light on the fate of American working women. Parton was singing the true story of a movement that started with 9to5, a group of Boston secretaries in the early 1970s. Their goals were simple — better pay, more advancement opportunities and an end to sexual harassment — but their unconventional approach attracted the press and shamed their bosses into change. Featuring interviews with 9to5’s founders, as well as actor and activist Jane Fonda, 9to5: The Story of a Movement is a documentary telling the previously untold story of the fight that inspired a hit and changed the American workplace.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS Confronting Antisemitism Today: Mark Weitzman Thursday, January 18, at 7 p.m. In Person at the Museum | Free Since Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, Jews around the world have faced an alarming rise in antisemitism, including threats and violence against them on campuses, harassment in their homes, threats and attacks in public and at their places of worship, and a dramatic increase in the number of hateful social media posts. Renowned scholar Mark Weitzman, COO of the World Jewish Restitution Organization and senior U.S. delegate to the International Holocaust Remembrance Authority, joins us to discuss antisemitism in the wake of the October 7 attacks.

Film Screening and Discussion: Remember This Monday, June 24, at 7 p.m. | In Person at the Museum | Free Academy Award nominee David Strathairn portrays Jan Karski, reluctant World War II hero and Holocaust witness. Karski joined the Polish Underground and risked his life to carry the first eyewitness reports of war-torn Poland, including the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto, to the Western world. In Remember This, Strathairn captures the complexity and legacy of this self-described “insignificant little man” whose timely story of moral courage and individual responsibility can still shake the conscience of the world. The film will be followed by a discussion. 11
