Stéphane Bern raconte une figure majeure de l'abolitionnisme aux Etats-Unis qui la célèbrent chaque année à l'occasion du Harriet Tubman Day (10 mars), une esclave qui a aidé de nombreux autres, comme elle, à s'échapper, à fuir leurs conditions pour simplement vivre. Ou la véritable histoire de Harriet Tubman, la Moïse Noire… Comment a-t-elle aidé des dizaines d'esclaves à s'évader ? Qu'est-ce que le “chemin de fer clandestin” ? Quel écho les mémoires d'Harriet Tubman ont-ils rencontré à leur parution, dans la seconde partie du 19e siècle ? Pour en parler, Stéphane Bern reçoit Antoine Guégan, historien, spécialiste de la représentation de l'esclavage au cinéma.
All American holidays ain't white! Kwanzaa. Juneteenth. Harriet Tubman Day. Black holidays are real and important. They remember the contributions, struggles, and victories of Black people in America and around the world. Yet we are encouraged to celebrate the "white" American or "white-approved" holidays like July 4th and Columbus Day. It's time to decolonize our holidays! We can focus on holidays that honor Black history and culture. Many people are unfamiliar with these special days. This podcast discusses some of the more famous days and a few lesser-known days. These holidays are inspirational, educational, and reflective--all at the same time. Get ready to celebrate and commemorate!

There are currently no federal holidays named after - or even dedicated to women. But one local activist aims to change that. Jeannine Cook is the shopkeeper at both Harriet and Ida's bookshops, located in Pennsylvania and New Jersey respectively. If the names of those stores don't make it inherently obvious, she looks up to the female faces of the civil rights movement. So much so, that she's begun her own movement to get one of her own idols a federal holiday. On this latest episode of Beyond Black History Month, listen as we sit down with Jeannine to discuss the origins of her idea, as well as what's next on its pathway to potentially being the country's next nationally-recognized holiday.
As we mark a federal holiday for Juneteenth for the second year, the work of giving Black history a bigger place in American celebrations isn't done. Jeannine Cook, owner of Harriett's Bookshop in Philadelphia and Ida's Bookshop in New Jersey, is leading the charge to get another federal holiday on the calendar: Harriet Tubman Day. Jeannine joins us to explain why this effort is so important to her and what it takes to get a new federal holiday declared. The Jawncast is Jay Scott Smith, Sabrina Boyd-Surka, and Brian Seltzer.

What do you know about Harriet Tubman? Yes, she was a courageous conductor on the Underground Railroad, helping hundreds of enslaved Africans to escape to freedom. But her courage, skills, and talent extended far beyond those night-time "trips" through swamps and darkness following the North Star. In honor of Harriet Tubman Day (March 10), Doug and Robin discuss the little-known and surprising side of Harriet Tubman and her contributions to the enslaved Africans, the sick, and the infirm. And, yes, she was an ardent suffragette as well! Listen to their uncommon conversation and join the celebration of Harriet Tubman Day!
We recently attended the 2019 Museum Association of New York annual conference and spoke with attendees from all over New York State representing all types of museums and cultural institutions. I talked with folks from 21 different museums and cultural institutions about how they are creating inclusive environments, attracting new audiences and fitting within the tourism fabric of their community. We used these great insights to create another Museum Series (see last year’s series here) with five episodes filled with knowledge. Through this series, I hope you will find a new perspective on this important segment of the tourism industry. In this episode, I share my conversations with: Cyndi Park-Sheils, Executive Director of the Waterloo Library & Historical Society Andrea Seamans, Volunteer at Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park Courtney Kasper, Visitor Experience Manager at the NYS Equal Rights Heritage Center Frances Barbieri, Executive Director of the Seneca Falls Historical Society What You Will Learn in This Episode: How the Waterloo Library & Historical Society and the National Memorial Day Museum have developed a Capital Campaign to draw in new audiences and improve the inclusivity of their historical offerings and archive How the Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park is unique as the only park in the United States to offer interstate highway travelers a parking pull-off and an opportunity to visit the park in the middle of their travels How the NYS Equal Rights Heritage Center is using unique and diverse programming to draw in new visitors and create a local audience, as well as serving as a gateway to other cultural and historic sites in the Auburn area and beyond How the Waterford Historical Museum and Cultural Center is promoting inclusivity by partnering with The Arc of Rensselaer County to showcase the work of artists with mental and physical disabilities Waterloo Library & Historical Society Cyndi Park-Sheils from the Waterloo Library & Historical Society in Waterloo, New York discusses how they have learned valuable inclusivity strategies at the conference to incorporate into their old, historical buildings to allow people to move more freely. She discusses upcoming events including celebrating the birthplace of Memorial Day in Waterloo. She shares how inclusivity is key for allowing as many visitors as possible to view the museum’s collections. Cyndi also talks about how her organization is connected to the fabric of Waterloo through being the sole custodian of Waterloo’s museums and culture, and she discusses upcoming partnerships with local restaurants to increase awareness and education opportunities for visitors to Waterloo. She shares her excitement over the National Memorial Day Museum’s Capital Campaign and the diverse visitors it will draw to Waterloo. She discusses relocating the organization’s archives to a better and more accessible location. Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park Andrea Seamans with the Port Byron Old Erie Canal Heritage Park in Port Byron, New York discusses her organization as a collaboration between the New York State Thruway and the nonprofit Canal Society of New York State. She shares how her organization is the only park in the United States that has a parking pull-off for interstate highway travelers to visit a historic site. She talks about why the park is admission-free to be as inclusive as possible for visitors, and how the park provides wheelchairs and the site is entirely wheelchair-accessible. She discusses efforts to improve signage on the Thruway and throughout the village to increase visitor awareness of the park. Andrea explores the promotional opportunities for school and bus tours offer the park. She also shares the broad spectrum of diverse visitors who visit the park, many of whom are international visitors traveling to Boston, New York City or Niagara Falls. She talks about the close connection that many of the local families have with the history of the Old Erie Canal, and how her organization helps to promote other canals in the area. She discusses her hopes for the future of the park, including increasing community outreach and historical education opportunities at the park and shares the remarkable and diverse volunteer community that works at the park and has formed powerful friendships across generations with other volunteers. NYS Equal Rights Heritage Center Courtney Kasper at the New York State Equal Rights Heritage Center in Auburn, New York discusses how her organization serves to educate visitors on the history of equality in the state and to promote local and statewide equality sites and programs regarding human rights, Abolition, and women’s rights. She shares why inclusivity is a two-fold issue, being inclusive of the community they are serving as well as promoting and improving accessibility. She shares how her facility is free, open to the public, and community-accessible and she discusses the diverse programming the organization offers. She talks about their efforts to promote women- and minority-owned small businesses through their events. She discusses how their position as a new facility has helped to bring audiences, and how school field trips have been key. She explores the facility’s recent celebration of Harriet Tubman Day and the opportunity it served to bring in local visitors. Courtney shares the role her organization plays in the fabric of the community, and the interactive exhibits her facility offers that promote other statewide tourism and cultural attractions. She talks about future collaboration opportunities for her organization to be a cross-promotional marketing site for other cultural sites in the area. Seneca Falls Historical Society Frances Barbieri from the Seneca Falls Historical Society in Seneca Falls, New York shares how the society came to be founded in the late 1800s and some of the historically significant items and artifacts in the possession of the society that is connected to the history of women’s rights. She discusses the wide variety of attractions and offerings the society shares with the public, with something for everyone. She talks about the important role the society is playing in preserving the local history of the families of the area, and how the organization is working to help everyone of every background search for their family roots in the area. She shares how the organization offers outreach to people of all ages within the community. She discusses the future of the organization as it enters a transitional period with changing leadership after her retirement, and the challenges and opportunities their new director will find going forward. Overview One common thread in each of these conversations has been the critical role outreach plays for these organizations. From field trips and school visits to community engagement and business partnerships, each of these cultural and historical centers has found that reaching out to a broad spectrum of people of all cultures, age groups and interests have helped bolster their audience and better engage their communities. These organizations have also found value in cross-promoting other key historic and cultural sites in their communities and beyond. By connecting the important lessons of the past with the need for inclusivity and accessibility as we understand them today, these organizations are already looking forward to a bright and thriving future.

On this date in 1926, the first Book of the Month Club selection was published. Here are some things you might not have known about it. The Book of the Month Club was founded by Harry Scherman in New York. Scherman had earlier success selling a collection of 30 leather-bound books for just under $3. Over the course of five years, he sold more than 40 million copies. The club was started as a way to introduce new books to readers. Scherman saw the club as a way to become a tastemaker or what he called a “standard brand.” This would lead to people buying whichever books were selected, based on the trust they had in the club. The first selection was “Lolly WIllowes; or The Loving Huntsman” by Sylvia Townsend Warner. It was sent out to the club’s 4,000 subscribers. One of the club’s selections in the first year was “The Sun Also Rises” by Ernest Hemingway. In its 10th year, the club selected a then-unknown novel by Margaret Mitchell called “Gone With The Wind.” Partly as a result of that selection, “Gone with the Wind” would go on to be made into the highest-grossing film of all time, when adjusted for inflation. The book finished second to the Bible as the most popular book in the United States in a 2014 poll. After 20 years, the club had more than a half a million subscribers. In 1951, the club sent out its 100 millionth book, which was a copy of “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger. In its early days, the club worked as a negative response system. Similar to later record and CD clubs, members had the option to decline a month’s selection, but they would receive the selection automatically if they didn’t respond. It now operates as a box subscription service. Memberships are sold based on a set number of months. Our question: The novel “The Sun Also Rises” is set largely in what country? Today is Harriet Tubman Day and National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day in the United States. It’s unofficially International Bagpipe Day, Landline Telephone Day, and National Blueberry Popover Day. It’s the birthday of actor Chuck Norris, who is 77; actor Jon Hamm, who is 46; and singer Carrie Underwood, who is 34. This week in 1984, the top song in the U.S. was “Jump” by Van Halen. The No. 1 movie was “Footloose,” while the novel “Pet Sematary” by Stephen King topped the New York Times Bestsellers list. Now for our weekly question: For which book, later turned into a movie, did James Michener win the 1948 Pulitzer Prize for fiction? The answer and correct respondents are in today's podcast.
