SUMMARY:Racial Learning & Anti-bias Program Series
DESCRIPTION:Rokeby Museum is offering 5 FREE racial learning & anti-bias programs for young children ages 4 to 6. Racial learning is a growing field based on the science of childhood development. For decades\, experts have published studies concluding that toddlers and young children make racial observations and absorb stereotyping. Unfortunately\, there is a disconnect between this and when most adults believe that they are. Likewise\, young children are making astute perceptions about the world around them. They pay attention to who is boss\, observe the advantages of a wealthy life\, and draw correlations between power\, privilege\, and race.  \n\n\n\nRacial and anti-bias learning provides children with language\, concrete reasoning\, and space to appreciate and make sense of our many similarities and differences. It also offers guidance to help children process and scrutinize the prejudice and inequity they observe in the world around them and learn how to act against it. Activities will include drawing\, hands-on discovery\, read-a-loud\, and mixing paint to discover our unique skin color. Age-appropriate discussions will include laws\, racism\, resistance\, learning about child activists\, and more. While lessons are designed to be sequential\, your child will have lots to take away whether you attend one or all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSessions: \n\n\n\nJuly 30\, 6:00–7:00 pm: Virtual Parent OrientationAugust 3\, 9:30–10:30 am: Family DiversityAugust 10\, 9:30–10:30 am: Skin Tone 1August 24\, 9:30–10:30 am: Skin Tone 2August 31\, 9:30–10:30 am: Racial Justice: Civil Rights MovementSeptember 7\, 9:30–10:30 am: Taking Action \n\n\n\nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - Lecture with Scott Shane\, author of FLEE NORTH: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery's Borderland
DESCRIPTION:At Rokeby MuseumTickets: Member: $6; Non-Member $10 \n\n\n\nThis event is now sold out. The lecture will be recorded and posted on the museum’s blog later this month.  \n\n\n\n\nRokeby Museum will host an evening discussion with author and journalist Scott Shane on his 2023 book Flee North: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery’s Borderland. FLEE NORTH unearths the lost story of Thomas Smallwood\, born into slavery in Maryland\, who bought his freedom\, educated himself\, and became a shoemaker in Southwest Washington\, a short walk from the U.S. Capitol. Smallwood began to organize mass escapes from slavery by the wagonload\, with the help of a young white partner\, Charles Torrey — and wrote about the escapes in extraordinary satirical dispatches for an abolitionist newspaper in Albany. It was Smallwood\, Scott Shane discovered\, who gave the underground railroad its name. Smallwood’s daring operation took place against the very dark background of the domestic slave trade\, which thrived on Washington’s Mall and at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor\, shipping thousands of people every year away from their families to the cotton and sugar plantations of the deep south. The book’s third central character\, Baltimore’s Hope Slatter\, was the era’s dominant slave trader\, operating from his private “slave jail” near Baltimore’s harbor.  \n\n\n\n\nFLEE NORTH: A Forgotten Hero and the Fight for Freedom in Slavery’s Borderland was named one of the best ten books of 2023 by Publishers Weekly (“This astonishing and propulsive narrative rights a historical wrong by returning [Thomas] Smallwood to prominence. It’s an absolute must-read”) and one of top 20 by Amazon (“Scott Shane’s narrative account is visceral\, a stunning feat of historical storytelling as you’re transported into the terrifying life of an enslaved person in 1800s Baltimore”). Henry Louis Gates Jr. called it “riveting” and Taylor Branch called it “a treasure.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Scott Shane\n\n\n\nScott Shane was a reporter for 15 years at The New York Times\, where he was twice a member of teams that won Pulitzer Prizes\, and before that\, for 21 years at The Baltimore Sun. His two previous books are Dismantling Utopia\, a firsthand account of the collapse of the Soviet Union\, and Objective Troy\, the story of an American terrorist killed in a drone strike on orders of President Obama. In 2019–2020\, he was a fellow at the SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University\, where he taught courses on media and on the Russian attack on the 2016 American presidential election.
