SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Reading Series: Janice N. Harrington
DESCRIPTION:The free monthly Nebraska Poets Reading Series highlights the talent of Nebraska poets and invites discussion with audience members. All events are free online\, but registration is required to receive an event link. Registration links for each poet’s event and additional details about each poet are available on the Nebraska Poetry Society’s website. \nHarrington writes descriptive\, lyrical\, and experimental poems that speak to the Black American Imagination in all its multiplicity\, advocating for a future that celebrates pleasure and self-fulfillment within Black communities. \nJanice N. Harrington’s writing reflects her interest in cultural history\, the natural world\, visual arts\, and African American Life in the South and Midwest. Her latest book of poetry\, Yard Show (BOA Editions)\, grows out of her three earlier books of poems\, Even the Hollow My Body Made Is Gone\, The Hands of Strangers\, and Primitive: The Art and Life of Horace H. Pippin. Harrington is also an award-winning children’s author. She is a Cave Canem fellow and teaches creative writing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

SUMMARY:Early Japanese Settlers in Nebraska
DESCRIPTION:Although the majority of Japanese immigrants settled in Hawaii\, California\, and the West Coast\, some pushed further inland\, to work on the railroad and coal mines\, ending up in Nebraska. A few died from illness\, the Spanish Flu\, train accidents\, their gravestones written in Japanese characters. Others returned to Japan or moved to larger cities. But some stayed\, put down roots\, raised families\, farmed\, published newspapers\, opened businesses\, worked in meat packing plants\, laundries\, pool halls\, and restaurants. This talk will illustrate their journey from Japan\, and some of the various paths that brought them here\, as well as the transitions they made along the way. \nSpeaker: Julie Ushio\, a member of the Advisory Board at Japanese Hall\, Legacy of the Plains Museum\, in Gering. She grew up in Alliance\, Nebraska\, where her Japanese grandparents settled.

SUMMARY:Women's Rights and the Saucy Mrs. Adams
DESCRIPTION:Five years after Abigail Smith married John Adams\, the American colonies adopted the British law of coverture. This law held that no female person had a legal identity. Married women owned nothing—not even the clothes on their backs. More importantly\, they had no rights over their own bodies\, or custody of the children they bore. \nAbigail’s marriage was based on mutual respect\, and she understood how lucky she was. She witnessed families torn apart by a husband’s drunkenness\, lack of employment\, temper\, and/or money mismanagement. Abigail’s famous ‘remember the ladies’ letter to her husband in which she implores him to “not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands\,” speaks directly to the law of coverture. This was the women’s rights issue of her time—remnants of which still exist in the year 2024. \nPresented by Chautauqua Scholar Jessica Downing-Ford
