Bruzelius reveals how catastrophe opened a window into the secrets of the Middle Ages. \nThis event\, hosted by the UNO Medieval and Renaissance Studies Program in Bootstrapper Hall of the Thompson Alumni Center\, is free and open to the public\, with free parking available with registration. Click here to register. \nEvent sponsored by UNO History Department\, Art & Art History\, & the College of Arts & Sciences. \nCaroline Bruzelius is the Anne M.

SUMMARY:EnChanted Images: The Voice of Sainte-Foy at Conques
DESCRIPTION:Across nearly a thousand years\, the Romanesque church of Sainte-Foy of Conques in France calls us to a bygone era of faith and sound. Martyred at thirteen for refusing to renounce her beliefs\, Sainte-Foy defied Roman authority and died for her faith\, becoming one of medieval Europe’s most powerful saints. In the eleventh century\, monks transformed her shrine into a bustling pilgrimage site through architecture\, sculpture\, and music. This program presents medieval chants from Sainte-Foy’s Festal Liturgy—heard again for the first time in modern performance—accompanied by images of the golden statue that houses her relics. \nPre-Concert Talk and Documentary 6:00 PM\nConcert 7:00-8:00 PM\nQ&A with the Audience to Follow \nFree registration is required.

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
