SUMMARY:Our Right To Assemble: The History of Protest and Civil Disobedience in the U.S. w/ Matthew Whitaker
DESCRIPTION:The First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” This basic freedom ensures the right of people to come together and collectively express\, promote\, pursue\, and defend their collective or shared ideas. When and how have people engaged in protest? Who has engaged in protest? What is civil disobedience? Does everyone have the same right to assemble? In recent days the brutal murders of African Americans by the police has sparked widespread protest across the U.S. and even abroad. How do we balance public safety and human rights? How do race\, power and class impact access to free speech and the right to assemble? Participants will explore these questions in a safe\, interactive discussion. REGISTER HERE. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMatthew Whitaker is a decorated educator\, historian\, author\, social justice advocate\, motivational speaker\, and founder of the ASU Center for the Study of Race and Democracy\, where he taught for 16 years. Whitaker’s expertise lies in U.S. history\, African American history\, race relations\, social movements\, cultural competency\, equity and inclusion\, teaching excellence\, and community partnerships.  Whitaker has received numerous awards including the 2016 DLA Diversity and Inclusion Award\, ASU’s 2015 Pioneer Award for work on African American life and culture\, and 2014 DLA Inclusive Workplace Award. Whitaker has spoken throughout the U.S. and abroad\, and has been featured on CNN\, NPR\, PBS\, WVON\, and KEMET.

SUMMARY:All My Relations: Indigenous Thinking in Seven Generations with Rowdy Duncan
DESCRIPTION:Who do you consider to be people that you are related to? Who is and is not part of your community? Is there a way to widen our perspective of who is part of our community and invested in our success. This workshop will introduce the idea of thinking in seven generations and examine the concept used in indigenous circles “All my relations”. What if we could learn to see in a more timeless frame? How we view the world\, and the contributions of others\, can be shaped by who we are “connected” to\, and who we are “disconnected” from. The choices we make about how we choose to live\, and what matters to us\, have much to do with the world we live in\, and the people who surround us\, at home\, at work\, and at play. Who is your “tribe?” Can you trace your family roots back to the beginning? Do we have any obligation to those who came before us\, or who come after us? What is our responsibility for making a better world? Participants will explore these questions in a unique\, interactive program that will improve their communication skills\, facilitate learning\, and help them navigate cultural differences at work and at home. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nRowdy has worked in the field of diversity and inclusion for over a decade. Currently he is full time faculty in the field of Communication with an emphasis in Interpersonal Communication\, Public Speaking\, and Intercultural Communication. He has lead peer Mentoring groups that educate youth about drug prevention\, educational success\, and college and career readiness.  Rowdy completed director training from the Anytown/Ourtown programs and teaches young people and their leaders about power\, privilege\, equity\, and inclusion. He also sits on the curriculum board for Anytown AZ. An engaging and passionate presenter and facilitator\, Rowdy is also the director of Phoenix College’s Diversity Incorporated.\, a program that teaches students how to present the MOSAIC inclusiveness program\, and he is an active member of the Healing Racism Public Dialogue Series\, winner of the 2008 National League of Cities Promoting Inclusive Award.  He also produces and delivers his Inclusive Activism Podcast bi-weekly to his thousands of listeners about how the intersections of Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Equity work are a form of Personal Leadership.

SUMMARY:Have You Ever Been Called Racist\, Sexist\, Ageist? How to Respond to 'ist' Mistakes with Michelle Dew
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been called a racist? The first response when others call attention to our actions or statements may be defensive. “I am not that kind of person. I did not mean to cause harm.” Merriam-Webster defines an ism as “an oppressive and especially discriminatory attitude or belief.” Many of us feel that we don’t perpetuate ”isms.” But in truth\, the insidious complexities of isms – racism\, classism\, and sexism to name a few – mean we may all play a part in the perpetuation of systems and behaviors that can harm others. What is the difference between being a racist and engaging in racist behavior? How do the unintended slights that arise out of ignorance or fears of different cultures\, impact the people that we interact with every day? Defensive reactions over our mistakes can rob us of the opportunity for true and deep learning. Join us for an interactive dialogue on how to respond to “ist” mistakes. We will learn how to reduce defensiveness\, and instead pivot to accountability\, healing\, and understanding. If we wish to be strong allies against isms\, we must start the work within ourselves. Is there a difference between being a racist and engaging in racist behavior? REGISTER HERE. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMichelle works as a Communication faculty member at GateWay Community College. Her areas of focus include identity\, active listening\, diversity\, inclusion\, equity\, service-learning\, and nonviolent communication. For the past nine years\, Michelle has served as a MOSAIC (Maximizing Our Strengths As an Inclusive Community) diversity and inclusion facilitator for the Maricopa Community Colleges. In addition to this work\, she also serves on the Healing Racism Committee; a group that facilitates public dialogues concerning current events and topics related to racism\, Arizona communities\, and American society.

SUMMARY:Not Racist or Anti-Racist? Talking About Race In America with Rowdy Duncan
DESCRIPTION:What is the difference between race and ethnicity? What does it mean to be anti-racist versus not racist? Understanding the history of race in America\, and its impact on all of us is important. Race is not just a complex subject of study\, but a lived experience that is unique to everyone. This means you can’t just read and learn about it from textbooks; you must talk to\, and listen to others. It is more important now than ever to be culturally competent. Is it possible to be “not-racist” in our society? What does it mean to be anti-racist? How can we be proactive in our anti-racist efforts? Participants will explore these questions in a unique\, interactive program that will improve their communication skills\, facilitate learning\, and help them navigate cultural differences at work and at home.

SUMMARY:Hyenas in Petticoats–How Women Struggled Against Every Dirty Trick in the Books to Win the Vote! with Jana Bommersbach
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate the 100th birthday of the 19th Amendment in 2020\, it’s time to look back at the enormous effort it took for women to be granted full citizenship and the vote. History has downplayed suffrage\, as if it were just a footnote in American history\, when in fact\, it was the nation’s largest civil rights movement. Western women got the vote long before their Eastern sisters\, but don’t dare tell an Arizona suffragette that she had it easy. Arizona had its own dirty tricks. Jana exposes it all—the heroines\, the heroes and the haters. REGISTER HERE. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists. She has won accolades in every facet of her career— investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books. She currently writes for True West magazine\, digging up the true stories behind the popular myths\, with an emphasis on Arizona’s real history and women of the Old West. Her insight\, knowledge and wit produce exuberant\, riveting speeches that always garner rave reviews.

SUMMARY:America Speaks: Hidden Voices\, Silent Stories with Tamika Sanders
DESCRIPTION: CLICK HERE to rsvp. \n\n\nJoin us for the first in a series of programs exploring the diverse voices that capture the journey towards Democracy in America. We are proud to feature these presentations as part of the traveling Smithsonian Exhibit Voices and Votes: Democracy in America that will launch in March 2020. The Voices and Votes exhibit will travel to six Arizona towns\, and feature programs across the state.\n\n\nOur democracy has been shaped by many people. We are most familiar with the famous\, the nation’s founders and Presidents. But many more individuals have contributed to the depth and breadth of our nation’s values of life. liberty and justice. This program explores the contributions from those in the shadows\, some faceless and nameless\, who built America.\n\nJoin us as we learn about the Coded Messages of the Underground Railroad\, and later The Green Book. Communication and secrecy were key to the successful operation of the Underground Railroad. Safety was more important than quickness. Both fugitive slaves and members of the Underground Railroad learned to code and decode hidden messages\, and to disguise signs to avoid capture. Using storytelling\, activities and songs\, this presentation will depict the ingenuity and resiliency used by those involved in the Underground Railroad to help over 100\,000 slaves escape to freedom between 1810 and 1850.  For many years after the Civil War it was not safe or easy for Blacks to travel in the segregated U.S. Restaurants\, hotels\, theaters and businesses did not serve Blacks. They developed a network of safe spaces so that they could travel\, live and work despite illegal and legally sanctioned discrimination through Jim Crow laws.\n\nDr. Tamika Sanders is an entrepreneur who decided to become an educator to help address the lack of minority faculty in higher education\, and serve as a role model for minority students who rarely see people of color in academia. She hopes to continue using the arts to break barriers\, unite people\, and create social change.

SUMMARY:AZ H20 + Art (Phoenix)
DESCRIPTION:Burton Barr Central Library \nSecond Floor\, College Depot Auditorium \nAZ H20 + Art with Jim Ballinger \nHoover Dam is an iconic marvel of American engineering.  Created to manage the floodwaters of the Colorado River\, the dam continues to affect Arizonans’ lives daily.  But the Hoover dam is rarely thought of as a significant work of art.  Since artists first visited our region\, water has been a subject for their work\, ranging from rivers and lakes to dams\, agriculture and recreation.  This program will explore works of art created over the past 150 years\, and invite participants to discuss the various ways water is systemic to life in the Arizona deserts\, mountains and the Colorado Plateau. \nJim Ballinger is uniquely qualified to lead the conversation\, having served as the director of the Phoenix Art Museum for 33 years. During his tenure\, the Phoenix Art Museum presented nearly 500 exhibits\, 50 of which Ballinger personally organized. Ballinger has a keen interest in the intersection of art and water\, and is a nationally respected arts advocate. \n

SUMMARY:Even Words Not Spoken Break Silence: Writing to Reclaim\, Heal & Transform - Bisbee
DESCRIPTION:Even Words Not Spoken Break Silence: Writing to Reclaim\, Heal & Transform \n4:00 p.m. Workshop \n5:30 p.m. Performance\nCopper Queen Library\n6 Main St\, Bisbee\, AZ 85603\n\nThe month of April shares a powerful duality\, recognized as National Poetry Month\, April is also a time to raise awareness around sexual assault and violence. It is fitting that the month used to honor artistic expression of word also shares space with the work to raise and uplift voices of survivors. Join spoken word artist\, Leilani Clark\, as she shares her journey using writing as a method to heal from trauma\, validate her truth and break through silence. Strategies will be explored to transition written word to spoken word and build confidence in stage performance and personal story telling. \nLeilani Clark is a native-born Tucsonan of Native (Diné/Santa Clara) and African American heritage. She is a community organizer and activist who has been involved in the Immigrant Rights Movement and fight to preserve cultural education in public AZ schools before\, during and after the 2010 signing of anti-Migrant bill\, SB 1070\, and anti-Ethnic Studies bill\, HB 2281. Leilani’s political analysis further broadened around gender equality after surviving sexual assault and an oppressive rape culture of silence and victim-blaming. In 2013 Leilani began dabbling in the art of spoken word to confront silence around gender violence in movement spaces and in 2014 she relocated to Las Vegas\, NV where she further explored the art of slam poetry. Leilani fired up the local Sin City open-mic scene\, regularly performing poetry\, music and previously co-hosting Las Vegas’s longest running weekly open-mic\, “The Human Experience.” The winds recently brought her back to her hometown and she’s been actively using the art of slam poetry to convey messages of cultural pride\, social justice\, healing and empowerment.

SUMMARY:How to Live in the Desert: Interpreting Taliesin West - Scottsdale
DESCRIPTION:Special event!\nFollowing up on Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation President and CEO Stuart Graff’s presentation at Arizona Humanities\, The House is a Heart: Why Historic Homes Matter\, explore how Taliesin West (Scottsdale) and historic structures inform us about the life of a community. Like first-person histories\, historic homes give a human dimension to the great forces that shape communities. Graff will share Taliesin West’s history and story\, and attendees will break up into small groups to interpret various spaces at Frank Lloyd Wright’s historic winter home and desert laboratory. Understanding these unique places—and preserving them—tells us not only our history\, but also our future. After the program\, attendees can enjoy a small reception. \nRSVP: https://exploretaliesinwest.eventbrite.com \nLearn more about Taliesin West: http://franklloydwright.org/taliesin-west/ \nThe program is free but due to limited capacity RSVPs are required.
