SUMMARY:Bison exhibit at University of Nebraska State Museum Morrill Hall
DESCRIPTION:BISON – a traveling exhibit exploring the past\, present\, and future of this great North American mammal – will be at the University of Nebraska State Museum Morrill Hall from November 8 through May 31. \nThe exhibit explores the significance of bison in the cultures of Plains Indian peoples–particularly as a resource for food\, clothing\, shelter and tools. That co-existence changed dramatically with the closing of the frontier that brought new settlers with livestock to compete for grass and water during a time of climate and habitat change. These developments were exacerbated by the commodification of the bison as hide and bone in late nineteenth century industrialization. The most recent chapter of the bison story is both significant and complex: the romance of rescuing and preserving bison; the science of genetic diversity within the species; the dynamics of poachers\, profiteers\, and producers both industrial and small-scale; marketing bison fiber and meat to the 21st century customer. The exhibit highlights the role of the National Buffalo Foundation in bringing together a community of stakeholders to celebrate and promote the bison’s heritage and to raise awareness of that story. \nThe museum is open Tuesday – Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm and Sunday 12:00pm – 5:00pm\nMorrill Hall is closed on Mondays and select holidays (January 1\, July 4\, Thanksgiving Day\, December 24 & 25). \nMuseum admission: $13.00\, Children (ages 3-11) $7.50\, under 3 FREE\nMuseums for All (with SNAP\, EBT\, or WIC Card) $1.00\nMuseum Members\, UNL NCard Holders\, ASTC Members\, Blue Star (active-duty military\, guard\, reserves & families with ID) FREE\n*A $1 discount is available for Seniors (65+)\, or Active/Veteran Military (with ID) on regular admission

SUMMARY:The People’s Recorder: A Virtual Discussion about the Federal Writers’ Project in Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:The People’s Recorder podcast launched to acclaim in 2024 and won a Silver Signal Award for History Podcasting and was nominated for an Ambie Award for Best Indie Podcast. This virtual event will build on the discussion started in the Nebraska-based episode\, “A Creative Incubator\,” further exploring the work and the literary and cultural legacy of the Writers’ Project in Nebraska. \nModerated by The People’s Recorder host Chris Haley\, the panel discussion will feature writer/co-producer David Taylor\, Marilyn Holt (author of Nebraska during the New Deal) and Stephen Cloyd\, who recently retired from the Lincoln City Libraries. The event will also feature University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor Timothy Schaffert\, who will discuss the Prairie Schooner’s Centennial\, and Lincoln City Libraries’ Deb Arenz\, who will speak about the collections at the Jane Pope Geske Heritage Room of Nebraska Authors. \nWatch live on The People’s Recorder YouTube Channel. \nPart of the WPA\, the Federal Writers’ Project provided work for unemployed writers\, editors\, and other white-collar workers during the height of the Great Depression. The Writers’ Project had a mandate to produce state and city travel guides\, and interview everyday citizens. It was perhaps the largest and most chaotic publishing venture in American history\, and yet it produced over 200 publications\, and its flagship travel guide series remains important for its firsthand views of life in America. The Nebraska guide was a notable success and state bestseller. \nThis moderated discussion with a panel of experts will focus on that guidebook and the work of the staff of the Nebraska Writers’ Project and how that speaks to Nebraskans today. It will focus on the varied experiences of three Nebraskans: Rudolph Umland\, a hardscrabble farmer turned editor\, Weldon Kees\, a hardware businessman’s son turned poet\, and Ruby Wilson\, a former nurse who found a passion in first-person history. The event will also shine a spotlight on University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor and founder of Prairie Schooner\, Lowry Wimberly\, whose influence was critical to the Project’s success. \nThis event is being produced in partnership with Lincoln City Libraries and Prairie Schooner with support from Humanities Nebraska.

SUMMARY:Americans and the Holocaust Traveling Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, D.C.\, will be at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus from February 5 – March 19 during library hours. \nThe exhibit addresses important themes in American history\, including Americans’ responses to refugees\, war and genocide in the 1930s and ‘40s. This exhibition will challenge the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded. Drawing on a remarkable collection of primary sources from the 1930s and ‘40s\, the exhibition focuses on the stories of individuals and groups of Americans who took action in response to Nazism. It will challenge visitors to consider the responsibilities and obstacles faced by individuals—from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to ordinary Americans—who made difficult choices\, sought to effect change\, and\, in a few cases\, took significant risks to help victims of Nazism even as rescue never became a government priority. The exhibit hopes to challenge people to not only ask “what would I have done?” but also\, “what will I do?” \nLibrary hours are Monday – Thursday 7:30 a.m. – midnight\, Friday 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.\, Saturday 1-5 p.m.\, Sunday 1 p.m. – midnight (closed March 14-15) \nFor more information about events related to the exhibit\, visit the exhibit website.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Aly Acevedo
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nDesire is one of the oldest subjects of human art\, not just romantic desire but the deep longing to be seen\, understood\, and connected. In this workshop\, we’ll explore how poetry gives voice to that yearning and how language becomes a bridge between isolation and intimacy. Through discussion and guided writing\, participants will consider what it means to reach for another person\, to be known\, and to find meaning through connection. \nAly Acevedo is a Puerto Rican and Vietnamese poet\, educator and speaker living in the Kansas City area. Her debut collection\, My Dear Cult Leader (Button Poetry\, 2026)\, examines the long shadows of a toxic relationship and the aftermath of sexual assault\, weaving personal history with persona poems that explore power\, trauma and reclamation.

SUMMARY:The Negro Motorist Green Book exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Negro Motorist Green Book offers an immersive look at the reality of travel for African Americans in mid-century America\, and how the annual guide served as an indispensable resource for the nation’s rising African American middle class. The exhibition includes artifacts such as historic footage\, images and firsthand accounts to convey not only the apprehension felt by African American travelers\, but also the resilience\, innovation and elegance of people fighting to live a full American existence. It will bring focus to a vibrant parallel world of African American businesses\, the rise of the Black leisure class in the United States and the important role The Green Book played in facilitating the second wave of the Great Migration. \nThe Green Book was published and distributed nationwide from 1936 until 1967\, providing African American travelers with information on restaurants\, gas stations\, department stores and other businesses that welcomed Black travelers. In an era of Jim Crow laws and “sundown towns\,” The Green Book offered critical\, life-saving information and sanctuary. \nMuseum hours: Sunday\, Noon – 4PM; Tuesday-Saturday; 10AM-4PM; closed Mondays. \nAdmission free for members\, $15 for adults\, with discounts for seniors\, military members and veterans\, and children. \n

SUMMARY:Winter Lecture Series 2026: America First - Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:The Unitarian Church of Lincoln is hosting a series of lectures\, in-person at the church and virtually via YouTube\, at 3 p.m. central on Sundays in February and March. For more information about the livestream\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. Each lecture will last about 45 minutes\, with a Q&A session following. \nThe principle of America First has existed almost from the founding of the United States\, usually increasing with any influx of people different from Protestant Western European Americans. America First movements restricted trade and foreign entanglements\, and excluded “others” of different cultures\, ethnicities\, and religions. Isolationism and antisemitism were often major components\, especially prior to WWI and WWII. We examine similarities and differences in the historic movements with the current one that limits and leverages immigration\, foreign aid\, free trade\, entangling alliances\, etc. \nFebruary 8 – Sean Trundle\, historical perspective of America First movements beginning with those preceding World War I \nSean Trundle of UNL’s History Department received his Ph.D. from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in American Studies.

His research interests include international trade and economics\, developmental economics and the intersection between development and energy. \nMarch 1 -Emira Ibrahimpasic and Julia Reilly\, history of selective immigration policies based on racism and religious restrictions that have led to current concerns and policies of immigration and deportations \nEmira Ibrahimpasic received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of New Mexico. She researches the plight of women in West Africa and the Global South. \nJulia Reilly received her Ph.D. in Political Science from UNL.

SUMMARY:Opening Ceremony: Americans and the Holocaust Traveling Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Torsten Homberger\, author of “The Honor Dress of the Movement: A Cultural History of Hitler’s Brown Shirt Uniform\, 1920–1933\,” will speak about the rise of Nazism\, setting the stage for the events explored in the exhibition. The exhibition will be open for tours. Light refreshments will be served\, and all ages are welcome. \nThe Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington\, D.C.\, will be at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus from February 5 – March 19 during library hours. \nThe exhibit addresses important themes in American history\, including Americans’ responses to refugees\, war and genocide in the 1930s and ‘40s. This exhibition will challenge the commonly held assumptions that Americans knew little and did nothing about the Nazi persecution and murder of Jews as the Holocaust unfolded. Drawing on a remarkable collection of primary sources from the 1930s and ‘40s\, the exhibition focuses on the stories of individuals and groups of Americans who took action in response to Nazism. It will challenge visitors to consider the responsibilities and obstacles faced by individuals—from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to ordinary Americans—who made difficult choices\, sought to effect change\, and\, in a few cases\, took significant risks to help victims of Nazism even as rescue never became a government priority. The exhibit hopes to challenge people to not only ask “what would I have done?” but also\, “what will I do?” \nFor more information about events related to the exhibit\, visit the exhibit website.

SUMMARY:Winter Lecture Series 2026: America First - Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:The Unitarian Church of Lincoln is hosting a series of lectures\, in-person at the church and virtually via YouTube\, at 3 p.m. central on Sundays in February and March. For more information about the livestream\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. Each lecture will last about 45 minutes\, with a Q&A session following. \nThe principle of America First has existed almost from the founding of the United States\, usually increasing with any influx of people different from Protestant Western European Americans. America First movements restricted trade and foreign entanglements\, and excluded “others” of different cultures\, ethnicities\, and religions. Isolationism and antisemitism were often major components\, especially prior to WWI and WWII. We examine similarities and differences in the historic movements with the current one that limits and leverages immigration\, foreign aid\, free trade\, entangling alliances\, etc. \nFebruary 8 – Sean Trundle\, historical perspective of America First movements beginning with those preceding World War I \nSean Trundle of UNL’s History Department received his Ph.D. from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in American Studies. He specializes in post-war (WW II) U.S. culture\, but more broadly he lectures on 20th century cultural history. \nFebruary 15 – Uche Jarrett\, the historical perspective of leading economic issues today concerning trade\, tariffs and national growth \nUchechukwu Jarrett of UNL Economics received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee. His research interests include international trade and economics\, developmental economics and the intersection between development and energy. \nMarch 1 -Emira Ibrahimpasic and Julia Reilly\, history of selective immigration policies based on racism and religious restrictions that have led to current concerns and policies of immigration and deportations \nEmira Ibrahimpasic received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of New Mexico. She researches the plight of women in West Africa and the Global South. \nJulia Reilly received her Ph.D. in Political Science from UNL.
