From one essay to the next, Jerkins weaves the personal with the public and political in compelling, challenging ways... With this collection, she shows us that she is unforgettably here, a writer to be reckoned with.” — Roxanne Gay “[A] forthright and informative account. . . . Jerkins's careful research and revelatory conversations with historians, activists, and genealogists result in a disturbing yet ultimately empowering chronicle of the African-American experience. Readers will be moved by this brave and inquisitive book.” — Publishers Weekly on Wandering in Strange Lands “Morgan Jerkins' fantastic, expansive novel of mothers and daughters and Harlem, Caul Baby, is a meditation on the limits of inheritance and legacy. It's also a love letter to a rapidly changing neighborhood.”— Kaitlyn Greenidge Check out Morgan's works from the library!

Since the early 20th century, American academic libraries have collected and championed rare and unique non-circulating materials now referred to as special collections. Because of the rarity and value of these materials, they are handled differently than materials in other parts of academic library collections. Thus, a different set of access policies and procedures, as well as specialized staff, have been employed. In Access to Special Collections and Archives: Bridging Theory and Practice (Rowman & Littlefield, 2024), Jae Rossman provides a thorough exploration of access. Rossman looks at how practitioners' perceptions of access to special collections have changed from the formative period of the 1930s to today. An exploration of access through the lens of special collections is especially meaningful because of the tension between the principles of preservation and access within the special collections community. This project is also significant as the library profession explores how representation of diversity within collections and the profession impacts readers. Exploring how we think about access should be part of these ongoing conversations. Jae Jennifer Rossman, Ph.D., is associate director for Special Collections Instruction and Research Services at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University. She has published on library history and practice and the field of artists' books for over twenty years. Her publications through the jenny-press have been collected by academic libraries nationally and internationally. Rossman has served on the Board of Trustees, American Printing History Association and the Board of Directors, Center for Book Arts. She has worked in the libraries of Brandeis University, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Yale University. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology.

Send us a textIn this episode we explore the first transatlantic passenger flights of Pan Am's Boeing 314 flying boats in the late 1930s and we welcome back to the program Pan Am flight attendant and author Becky Sprecher who will share her insights -and family history– of these flying clippers!Becky was our guest in Episode 7: Flying the Line and Episode 29 AIDS Epidemic of the 1980s, Remembering Those We Lost. To learn more about Pan Am's flying boats, listen to Episode 3: Flying Boats, Irish Coffee, and a Hollywood Star and Episode 8: A Lifetime of Romantic Adventure... From Flying Boats to Jumbo Jets after listening to this installment. On March 29, 1939, the Yankee Clipper made history and took off from Baltimore to Europe under the command of Captain Harold Gray. On this inspection flight, the clipper traveled to the Azores, Lisbon, Marseilles, Southampton, and Foynes and back. On June 17, 1939, Pan American arranged for a special flight for 16 members of the press departing from Port Washington on the Atlantic Clipper; a brilliant marketing and public relations strategy for the airline. This press flight is historically and culturally significant because the radio reporters on board reported live at an altitude of 10,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean to listeners all over the country tuned into their radio sets with great interest.The cost for a one-way ticket to Europe was $375 (that's about $8,500 in 2024 money adjusted for inflation) or $675 roundtrip (which is over $15,000 today).There are no original Boeing 314 flying boats in existence today. However, the Foynes Flying Boat Museum in Foynes, Ireland ahs an impressive full-scale replica of the Yankee Clipper you can tour with every detail accurately recreated.

Thomas Lacey was born on November 4, 1895, in Glossop, Derbyshire, England. His journey into the spiritual world began early in life, leading to a lifetime of mediumship. On March 18, 1918, he married Edith Emma Lomas in Whitfield. Edith, born on September 28, 1895, was not a medium herself, but she played a vital role in supporting Thomas's work. In the early 1920s, the Laceys made a significant move to Canada—settling in the Kitchener-Waterloo region. It was here in 1924 that Thomas began conducting séances, with Edith actively participating. Throughout the 1960s, Thomas and Edith held séances in the home of Otto and Nelda Smith in Kitchener with attendees reporting experiencing apports, materialisations, automatic writing, and even Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP).

The University of Washington's Special Collections's Book Club examines Mat Johnson's Incognegro: A Graphic Mystery. Gus was fascinated to learn more about a book club with mostly White people reading a comic book about the lynching and castration of black males. The author, Mat Johnson, is so pale that he might be able to "pass" as a White person. This greatly influences the narrative, where the main character "passes" as a White man to investigate the wrongful imprisonment and planned lynching of his black brother - who has too much melanin to "pass." Be mindful of the terms used to describe or elide the System of White Supremacy and note the various ways that White people suggest they are ignorant about Racism.

Maurice Barbanell (1902-1981) was a pivotal figure in spiritualism, renowned as the founder and editor of "Psychic News," a leading spiritualist publication. His work promoted the spiritualist movement, emphasising the reality of life after death through mediums and psychic phenomena, significantly shaping public understanding and acceptance of spiritualism. My Special Guest Is Dr. Nick Richbell Dr. Nick Richbell recently received his PhD in History from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. His area of research is the history of Spiritualism, and his doctoral dissertation is a biographical history about the medium Maurice Barbanell and his guide, Silver Birch. The teachings of Silver Birch are still talked about in Spiritualist churches today, however, Maurice Barbanell's name is rarely mentioned. Barbanell spent 61-years dedicated to Spiritualism and Dr. Richbell's research has started to correct this omission and put's Barbanell back into the historical discourse about him being the twentieth-century's leading propagandist of the religion and movement.

Today is Juneteenth, a day that has held significance for the Black community for many years and one that, for the past four, has become a national holiday in the United States. It's a day for education, listening, learning, and increasing awareness of the Black experience. Though we are two white women who are still doing a lot of learning and listening ourselves, we wanted to celebrate Juneteenth by exploring the Beatles' connection to civil rights, especially during their 1964 tour. 1964 was time of continuing segregation and heightened racial tensions in America's southern states. But racial segregation, as it was in America, didn't exist in England. The Beatles were famously appalled at the idea that any of their concerts would take place in front of audiences separated by race, and they refused to play to segregated crowds. John Lennon famously remarked, “We never play to segregated audiences and we aren't going to start now. I'd sooner lose our appearance money.” The city was resistant but eventually relented, resulting in Jacksonville's first integrated concert. Our guest today is Dr. Kitty Oliver, who has firsthand experience of this moment. As a Black Beatles fan growing up in Jacksonville, Florida, Dr. Oliver jumped at the opportunity to attend the integrated concert; she was one of few Black teens in the audience. Beatles fans will recognize Dr. Oliver from her appearance in the Ron Howard-directed documentary Eight Days A Week: The Touring Years. She joins us today to recount her story of attending the first integrated concert in Jacksonville history, against the backdrop of growing up in a segregated city. Dr. Oliver is a veteran journalist, an academic, an author, an oral historian, producer, and professional singer. She holds a PhD in Comparative Studies focusing on race and ethnic communication. She calls herself “a product of the civil rights era who came of age with integration in the US,” and is the founder of the cross-cultural Race and Change Oral History Archive, which is housed in Special Collections at the African American Research Library and Cultural Center. She has written and/or compiled three books focusing on race, change, and her own memories of growing up Black in the South.
