SUMMARY:The Village Trip Lecture:  Clay Risen – Red Scare: Blacklists\, McCarthyism\, and the Making of Modern America
DESCRIPTION:In Red Scare\, New York Times reporter Clay Risen unfolds the gripping story of the political hysteria that gripped America in the 1940s and ’50s\, an era that continues to reverberate today. In his lecture\, Risen will describe how New York City\, including the Village itself\, became a centerpoint of anti-Communist witch hunting – and a surprising source of resistance. “Risen tells his story with a punch and an economy that are at times almost Hemingwayesque\,” wrote the New York Times.\nFrom the Los Angeles Times: “’There is a lineage to the American hard right of today\,’ he writes\, ‘and to understand it\, we need to understand its roots in the Red Scare. It did not originate then\, nor is Trumpism and the MAGA movement the same as McCarthyism and the John Birch Society. But there is a line linking them.’ \n“For 480 detailed\, tension-packed pages\, Risen lays out that line without stepping over it\, allowing the past to become prologue. He trusts the reader to make the connections between then and now\, and he doesn’t stray from the task at hand\, or the specifics of time\, place\, conflict and culture that led to a protracted period of national shame.” \nThis lecture is sponsored by David Kadish and Michael Norton in memory of David’s uncle\, Robert Shelton\, the New York Times critic who was a victim of the McCarthy-era Eastland Committee\, chaired by notorious Mississippi Senator James Eastland\, a ferocious segregationist. Shelton wrote the celebrated September 1961 review credited with launching Bob Dylan’s career. His biography\, Bob Dylan: No Direction Home\, was acclaimed by Mojo as ‘A landmark account of Dylan’s genesis and ascension.’ \n\nClay Risen\n\nThis event is FREE to attend\, but tickets should be booked in advance. \n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BOOK FREE TICKETS ON HUMANITIX

SUMMARY:The Village Trip Lecture: Ruth Feldstein – Performing Politics in the Village: Black Women Entertainers and the Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:The third annual Village Trip lecture will be given by Ruth Feldstein\, Professor of History and American Studies at Rutgers University and award-winning author of How It Feels To Be Free\, which provided the basis for a 2020 PBS documentary produced by Alicia Keys that examined Black women performers who played critical roles in political and social activism.\nAs she looked back on the years when her career was first taking off\, Nina Simone would recall that at the Village Gate in the late 1950s\, “politics was so mixed in with what went on… that I remember it now as two sides of the same coin\, politics and jazz.” Simone was one of many entertainers who felt that the Village offered something special: a path into interracial communities in which civil rights activism and creativity not only intermingled but reinforced each other and flourished. \nProfessor Feldstein’s talk will consider the critical role that Black women performers played in these communities of activist-entertainers. Simone\, Abbey Lincoln\, Miriam Makeba\, Diahann Carroll\, Maya Angelou\, Cicely Tyson\, Lorraine Hansberry\, Odetta were just some of the Black women who made the most of this unique time and place\, as they simultaneously forged careers and supported Black freedom. They did so in cultural and political spaces largely dominated by men\, where they seized opportunities but also faced constraints\, and where they made choices about how to perform Black womanhood. \nThis loosely connected cohort of Black women did not necessarily call themselves feminists. Still\, they insisted that the liberation they desired could not separate race from sex. Years before “intersectionality” became the buzzword that it is in social justice circles today\, Black women entertainers lived and performed a politics of intersectionality – at Village hot spots and subsequently\, around the world. More than talented performers (which they were!)\, they were activists and role models\, central to what were arguably the two most transformative social movements of the twentieth century: civil rights and women’s liberation. \nProfessor Feldstein will discuss the ways in which Harlem and Greenwich Village provided artistic and political possibilities for so many women whose names are now writ large in the history of our times. \n\nRuth Feldstein\n\nThis event is FREE to attend\, but tickets should be booked in advance. \n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BOOK TICKETS ON HUMANITIX

SUMMARY:Greenwich Village as Harlem’s Preamble and Echo: A Random Illustrated Survey: The Village Trip Lecture by Eric K Washington
DESCRIPTION:[J.A. Arneaux | 1885 advert for The Astor Place Tragedy Co. production of Othello! ] \nA close look at Greenwich Village reveals an often surprising pentimento of centuries-old African American history. Many unfamiliar and long forgotten place names reemerge like “Land of the Blacks” and “Little Africa.” We detect early footprints of such social institutions as the Freedman’s Bank\, or of congregations\, long since relocated\, of Mother A.M.E. Zion\, Abyssinian Baptist and the Roman Catholic St. Benedict the Moor churches. \nWe can fairly imagine the excitement of bygone Black theatrical ventures such as the African Grove Theatre or the Astor Place Tragedy Company. We fall in with the throng of some 3\,000 Black citizens celebrating the State Assembly’s 1873 civil rights bill. Or we’re swayed by the earnest shepherding of such educators as Sarah J.S. Tompkins\, or orator Henry Highland Garnet\, or held in thrall by the musical spells of Mrs. Daisy Tapley with her Wanamaker’s Colored Chorus. \nEric’s illustrated lecture\, culled from some of his various projects\, offers a randomly select view of the Village and its environs as a vibrant center of Black social life before it shifted miles farther uptown. \n\nEric K.

SUMMARY:Jack Kerouac: Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:This event is fully booked. However\, it is likely that some places will become available on the night.\nJack Kerouac had come to New York on a football scholarship to Columbia and took courses at the New School on the GI Bill. But what shaped him was not so much academia as the writers\, artists and musicians he met at places such as the San Remo and the Cedar Tavern\, the Eighth Street Bookshop\, the Record Changer Store on Greenwich Avenue\, the Village Vanguard\, and the poetry readings in the East Village – all places that his old friend David Amram – with whom Kerouac brought jazz+poetry to New York City – describes as being part of the great “university of hangoutology.” \nA distinguished panel\, including Amram and Joyce Johnson–both of whom knew Kerouac well and have written about him extensively–and poet\, performer and professor Anne Waldman\, plus award-winning biographer Holly George-Warren\, who is currently at work on a new study of Kerouac\, will offer their recollections and insights into this seminal figure of American literature. There will also be time for questions. \n\nDavid Amram\nHolly George-Warren\nJoyce Johnson\nAnne Waldman\n\nfrom left to right: Larry Rivers\, Jack Kerouac\, David Amram\, Allen Ginsberg\, Gregory Corso (in white hat with back to camera)\nMore about the photograph\nJohn Cohen took this classic photo in 1959 in New York City at a diner on 4th Avenue during a break in the filming of Robert Frank’s silent documentary film “Pull My Daisy” Jack Kerouac narrated the film spontaneously and David Amram wrote the score\, co-wrote the title song\, with lyrics by Kerouac\, Neal Cassady and Allen Ginsberg\, and appeared in the film as Mezz McGillicuddy\, the deranged french hornist (at the request of Kerouac). \nThis event is free to attend\, but we suggest a $10 donation to The Village Trip.\n \n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BOOK TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE

SUMMARY:Global Greenwich Village: Lecture by Robert W. Snyder
DESCRIPTION:Global Greenwich Village: Turning the World Upside Down\nThe Inaugural Village Trip Lecture by Professor Robert W. Snyder\nRobert Snyder’s lecture will explore three generations of Villagers who were part of this tradition: Puerto Ricans and Cubans of African descent who plotted to overturn the Spanish Empire in the late nineteenth century; activist women of the early twentieth century whose efforts as suffragists\, socialists\, and settlement house workers set off decades of social reform; and the mid-twentieth century artist Chaim Gross\, an immigrant from Austrian Galicia whose drawings and sculptures in wood\, stone and bronze crossed international boundaries to present new ways of seeing women\, families\, acrobats\, and Jewish culture. Together\, their lives show how New Yorkers and their neighborhoods have been shaped by the world around them – and how Villagers have shaped the world. \n\nRobert Snyder\n\nThis event is free to attend\, but we suggest a $10 donation to The Village Trip.\n  \n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BOOK TICKETS ON EVENTBRITE
