SUMMARY:Lunchbox Lecture: The History of Spoken Word Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Join the Nebraska State Historical Society for this month’s Lunchbox Lecture featuring Jewel Rodgers\, Nebraska State Poet 2025–2029! \nDuring her keynote\, Jewel reflects on her journey as a self-described spoken word artist stepping into a traditionally page-centered literary role. Through performance and storytelling\, she explores the cultural roots of spoken word\, its historical ties to jazz and artistic movements\, and the skepticism it sometimes encounters in academic poetry spaces. Blending poems with personal narrative\, she demonstrates how spoken word serves as a powerful tool for both artistic excellence and community-building. \nEvent admission is free. LNKTV will record the lecture and make it available to the public. \nSpecial thanks to the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation for providing funding for this event series and the recording to broadcast on LNKTV.

SUMMARY:Righting a Wrong/Preserving a Legacy Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II\, a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian\, examines the complicated history and impact of Executive Order 9066 which led to the incarceration of 75\,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry and 45\,000 Japanese nationals following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Young and old lived crowded together in hastily built camps\, endured poor living conditions\, and were under the constant watch of military guards for two and a half years. Meanwhile\, brave Japanese American men risked their lives fighting for the United States. Some 40 years later\, members of the Japanese American community led the nation to confront the wrong it had done—and urged Congress to make it right. \nIn partnership with Legacy of the Plains Museum in Gering\, the exhibition “Preserving a Legacy: Japanese in Nebraska” expands on the story told by the traveling Smithsonian exhibition “Righting a Wrong.” The story of Japanese Americans in Nebraska is filled with hope and support in the state. This exhibit strives to tell these stories. \nJapanese Nebraskans lived mostly in western farming communities. They worked on farms and in stockyards\, in hospitality and domestic service\, in professions\, and as entrepreneurs. Omaha’s small Japanese community included Harry Watanabe\, who founded the Oriental Trading Company in 1932. Unlike the West Coast\, Nebraska Japanese were not incarcerated during World War II\, but some lost jobs and community leaders were arrested and questioned. Japanese immigrants were designated “enemy aliens.” Newspapers across the state reprinted warnings that they and their U.S.-born children might act as spies and saboteurs. Some Nebraskans responded with anti-Japanese hostility. Others spoke against mass incarceration and even hastened the release of those incarcerated by opening jobs to workers and enrollment to students. Nebraskans of Japanese ancestry have led the way in righting the wrongs of the 1940s\, honoring the rights and dignity of all Americans today. \nExhibit open during normal museum hours Tuesday through Saturday: \nTuesday and Wednesday: 9:00AM – 4:00PM\nThursday: 9:00AM – 8:00PM\nFriday and Saturday: 9:00AM – 4:00PM\nSunday and Monday : Closed\nClosed during state observed holidays. \nRegular museum admission applies.

SUMMARY:Not Too Far Distant
DESCRIPTION:A new play by Becky Boesen\, commissioned by History Nebraska\, inspired by the life of Clarence Williams \n“It’s almost unbelievable that anyone could be hardened to the point of doing the brutal things they did…” A young man from the midwest is sent to war\, carrying with him the hopes of the free world. What Staff Sergeant Clarence Williams encounters there challenges and changes humanity forever. History touches the present when a new generation takes a journey through time to experience World War II alongside Clarence himself. Centered around his personal letters home\, we learn that sometimes what seems so far away is much closer than we think. Filled with hope and heart\, Not Too Far Distant honors the experience of the American soldier and reminds us that we all have the power – and the responsibility – to help create a brighter future. \nThe performance will be followed by a scholar-led conversation on Nebraska and holocaust history. \nFree\, but registration is required. Register here.
