SUMMARY:Postponed - Confronting Contested Histories
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \nJoin Harvard Professor and former Dean of the Radcliffe Institute Lisabeth Cohen in a conversation on how contested topics in American history are conveyed to the public through museum exhibits\, public memorials\, and reenactments.  How do museums related to our nation’s founding handle the stories of indigenous people and slavery?  Should memorials to Civil War heroes remain standing?  How do we best discuss more contemporary topics such as the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War can in the public square?  The forum will end with a brief discussion of Professor Cohen’s newest book\, Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age. \n \nLizabeth Cohen is the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies and a Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of History at Harvard.  From 2011-18 she was the dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.  Cohen has published a popular textbook and multiple books\, including Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago\, 1919-1939\, winner of the Bancroft Prize and a finalist for the Pulitzer.  Among many awards and honors\, Cohen has been a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.  Cohen received her Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley and her A.B. from Princeton University. \nCohen’s book Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age will be available for signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member. \nAdvanced Registration Required.

SUMMARY:Postponed - A Walk with Louisa and Ellen
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \n“To spend the day at their house was a rapturous event\,” Ellen Emerson wrote to a friend in 1869\, remembering her friends\, the Alcott girls. \nTo mark the centennial of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment\, the Concord Museum places women at the center of political thought and action that reshaped the country in the early 20th century through a program highlighting the objects and homes of remarkable women including Louisa May Alcott and her dear friend Ellen Emerson.  Beginning in the Concord Museum galleries\, participants will have the opportunity to view significant historical objects including Louisa May Alcott’s tea kettle that she used while serving as a nurse for the Union Army.  The program will conclude with a walk to Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard House and Ralph Waldo Emerson’s House where participants will hear stories of friendship and the quest for equality. \n1-mile walk\, mostly flat sidewalk or pavement\, rain or shine. Meet at the Concord Museum. \nFree. \nSpace for our popular walking tours is limited.  Please reserve tickets in advance to ensure registration. Register here.

SUMMARY:Postponed - Memory Lands
DESCRIPTION:This event was temporarily postponed. We will be sure to post the new date and time when it is confirmed. \nWilliams College historian Christine DeLucia will discuss her book\, Memory Lands\, in which she reconsiders the markers\, monuments\, and “memoryscapes” that memorialize King Philip’s War alongside the processes that alternatively repress and recover Indigenous histories of survival and adaptation.  The Concord Museum’s new permanent exhibition\, The People of Musketaquid\, will serve as a case study on how museums present this complicated history to the public. \n  \nChristine DeLucia is Assistant Professor of History at Williams College. She focuses on Native American/ Indigenous and early American topics. Her research\, teaching\, and writing involve community collaborations\, decolonizing approaches to archives\, museums\, and knowledge circulation\, and socially transformative ways of connecting past\, present\, and future. Memory Lands: King Philip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast is her first book. Prior to Williams\, Professor DeLucia was a member of the history faculty at Mount Holyoke College. In 2018-2019\, she held a research fellowship at Chicago’s Newberry Library to work on her second book\, a study of Native communities’ complex modes of dwelling\, adaptation\, and sovereignty in the 18th-century Northeast. Professor DeLucia completed a Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale\, an M.Litt. in Environmental History at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland\, and an A.B. in History and Literature at Harvard. \n  \nProfessor DeLucia’s book Memory Lands: King Phillip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast will be available for signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop. \n$5 Member | $10 Non-Member.

Her work includes historical research for the Wiley-Blackwell Anthology of African-American Literature\, the Oxford African American Studies Center\, and PBS.

DESCRIPTION:        Historians Doris Kearns Goodwin\, Harold Holzer\, and Ted Widmer discuss the life and times of Abraham Lincoln prompted by Ted Widmer’s new book Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington which evokes the train journey from Springfield to Washington as Lincoln prepared to become the nation’s 16th president.  In a review in the Wall Street Journal\, Harold Holzer writes: “In a wholly original\, gorgeously crafted reimagining\, Mr. Widmer portrays Lincoln’s demanding journey as a Homeric odyssey through perilous terrain toward almost preordained immortality…Mr. Widmer brings off his panoramic\, almost mythical interpretation with riveting panache.  His book is not only a historical achievement but a literary one.” \n \nAt 7:00 p.m. the Museum will bestow the 2020 Robert Gross Award for the Advancement of Concord’s History to Michael Goodwin\, founder of the Rivers and Revolutions program at Concord-Carlisle High School.  The forum will then begin around 7:30 p.m. \nTed Widmer’s new book Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington can be ordered through the Concord Bookshop. \nPlease note that this forum and award ceremony are virtual.  Participants will be emailed a link to watch the program live. \nThis is a free event.  Donations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives. \nThis program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \nImages from left to right: Ted Widmer\, Doris Kearns Goodwin\, Harold Holzer\, and Michael Goodwin teaching.

SUMMARY:Memory Lands
DESCRIPTION:Due to the high winds and power outages in the area\, the forum has been rescheduled for Thursday\, October 8 at 7:00 p.m. Thank you for your understanding\, and we hope you can join us tonight!\nTo participate in the question and answer session and chat with other viewers\, please visit the Museum’s YouTube page. \n \nWilliams College historian Christine DeLucia will discuss her book\, Memory Lands\, in which she reconsiders the markers\, monuments\, and “memoryscapes” that memorialize King Philip’s War alongside the processes that alternatively repress and recover Indigenous histories of survival and adaptation. The Concord Museum’s new permanent exhibition\, The People of Musketaquid\, will serve as a case study on how museums present this complicated history to public. \nChristine DeLucia is Assistant Professor of History at Williams College. She focuses on Native American/ Indigenous and early American topics. Her research\, teaching\, and writing involve community collaborations\, decolonizing approaches to archives\, museums\, and knowledge circulation\, and socially transformative ways of connecting past\, present\, and future. Memory Lands: King Philip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast is her first book. Prior to Williams\, Professor DeLucia was a member of the history faculty at Mount Holyoke College. In 2018-2019\, she held a research fellowship at Chicago’s Newberry Library to work on her second book\, a study of Native communities’ complex modes of dwelling\, adaptation\, and sovereignty in the 18th-century Northeast. Professor DeLucia completed a Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale\, an M.Litt. in Environmental History at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland\, and an A.B. in History and Literature at Harvard. \nProfessor DeLucia’s book Memory Lands: King Phillip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast will be available for signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop.. \nPlease note that this forum is virtual.  Participants will be emailed a link to watch the program live. \nThis is a free event.  Donations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives. \nThis program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.
