SUMMARY:Addressing the Silence: Town Hall in Partnership with the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice
DESCRIPTION:Register and join us in-person at the Lewes Public Library’s large meeting room. \n  \nWe are thrilled to invite you to an informative Town Hall! The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) is proud to unveil a groundbreaking collaboration with the John Dickinson Plantation (JDP). \n  \nTown Hall Discussion Highlights \n  \nAbout “Addressing the Silence” \nThis transformative project\, spearheaded by the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience (ICSC) and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services\, is dedicated to fostering knowledge of those excluded from history. Spanning two-and-a-half years\, it brings together 13 museums from across the United States\, all committed to preserving our full\, factual history. \n  \nSDARJ’s Role as a Community Partner \nAs the designated Community Partner\, SDARJ plays a pivotal role in this initiative alongside JDP. Our participation will focus on: \n\nBuilding Relationships: Engage in open and honest conversations with JDP staff to align views and objectives.\nShaping Museum Practices: Collaborate with JDP to ensure the enslaved population who lived\, worked and died on this plantation will be known and remembered through their exhibits and programs.\nChampioning Community Voices: Ensure that JDP’s work authentically reflects the diverse stories of all who lived there.\n\n  \nWhy This Matters to Our Community \n  \nReflecting Our History \nSDARJ’s involvement in “Addressing the Silences” empowers us to ensure that the stories of the enslaved residents of JDP are told with accuracy and respect. This project will assist with ancestral history and documentation of the black community. Furthermore\, it will enhance the entire community’s knowledge about the forgotten and silenced enslaved people. \n  \nSharing Learnings Nationally \nAt the project’s conclusion\, a national learning session will bring together all participating museums and community partners to share insights and outcomes. This exchange will help museums become more welcoming and inclusive spaces. \nDon’t miss this chance to be part of a significant movement towards inclusivity and representation in historical storytelling. Join us to learn more about this exciting initiative and how it will benefit our community! \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n  \nRegister Today!\nLet’s make history together!

SUMMARY:William Penn Day
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the landing of William Penn in America! Attendees will get to hear about the Treaty William Penn made with the Leni Lenape from the Penn Treaty Museum at 12 PM and hear music of the time preformed by Delaware Music School’s Suzuki Academy at 3 PM.  \nRethinking the Treaty of Friendship \nWilliam Penn’s meeting with Lenni Lenape tribal leaders in 1682 at Shackamaxon was\, according to Voltaire\, the “only treaty never sworn to and never broken.” No written treaty survives\, yet early references abound and Lenape oral history supports the evidence. Speaker Penny Dwyer will explain how a fascination with the story of the Treaty of Friendship evolved over centuries and manifested in relics\, works of art and commercialism. \nPenny Dwyer is Curator at the Penn Treaty Museum\, Philadelphia.

SUMMARY:History Revival: Black Watermen of the Chesapeake with Alexis Aggrey
DESCRIPTION:Presentation: The unique relationship between African Americans and the Chesapeake Bay contains an abundance of untold stories\, as told in the documentary\, Water’s Edge: Black Watermen of the Chesapeake. Join us for a screening of the film with a discussion afterwards with the film’s director\, Alexis Aggrey. \nMid-nineteenth century Maryland offered pseudo-freedom to Black Americans who lived and worked on the water. Between 1790 and 1860\, the population of free Blacks grew tremendously; some 58% of the Black population was free. This was the largest population of free Black Americans in the entire United States\, and watermen were central to the success of these communities. In Maryland\, the tradition of seafood fed millions and offered an opportunity for innovation that extended to both the free and enslaved. Water’s Edge: Black Watermen of the Chesapeake chronicles unsung Marylanders who revolutionized an industry\, dreamed beyond their circumstance and are still keeping this tradition alive today. \nSpeaker: Alexis Aggrey is a director/producer who has worked with public television\, cable\, and museum clients for more than 15 years\, creating documentary content that educates and inspires. \nRegister Here \nDelaware Humanities funding acknowledgement \nHistory Revival: Food and Drink Across Delmarva has been made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.
