SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America – Dr. Janus Adams
DESCRIPTION:In the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly four-part lecture series will focus on the theme of “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America.” \nThe lectures will be held on Sunday afternoons\, beginning on Jan. 29\, at 4-5:30 p.m.\, with each session requiring a separate registration. The four lectures will be hosted by either Wilton Library or Wilton Historical Society. \nDuring this kick-off program\, “Bending the Arc: The Promise of Reconstruction Derailed; Navigating a Century of Jim Crow Apartheid\,” Emmy Award-winning journalist\, historian\, author and radio host Dr. Janus Adams will discuss how she met Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, their brief conversation\, and the charge he gave this then-10-year-old girl. Many of you will undoubtedly recognize in her lecture title the reference to Dr. King’s famous quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long\, but it bends toward justice.” Reconstruction\, begun right after the Civil War ended\, held much promise for the true liberation of Blacks in America. How was Reconstruction derailed and how did the resulting Jim Crow in the South and de jure as well as de facto segregation in the North operate? What are examples of Black success stories notwithstanding those devastating restrictions? \nAdams is an Emmy Award-winning journalist\, historian\, entrepreneur\, keynote speaker\, and author. She is also the producer and host of public radio’s “The Janus Adams Show” and podcast. Engaged by history since childhood\, at age 8 she was one of four children selected to break New York’s de facto segregation in the wake of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. At age 10\, she was introduced to Dr. King. A pioneer of issue-oriented African-American and women’s programming\, she has hosted and produced numerous talk shows for public broadcasting and cable news. She is a frequent on-air guest and a significant contributor to print and online media outlets. A former Wilton resident\, she began her 16-year run as a syndicated columnist with the Wilton Bulletin. She is a classically trained pianist and the founder of children’s book publisher BackPax. \nThe moderator is Stephen Hudspeth. This lecture is sponsored by Kathleen and Bill Brennan. There is no charge to attend; donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for registration\, additional dates\, topic and speaker details. Registration is required for each individual session.

SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series: A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America — Dr. Camesha Scruggs
DESCRIPTION:In the 16th year of collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series will focus on the theme of “A Rocky Road: The Struggle for Rights in America.” During this program at Wilton Library\, Dr. Camesha Scruggs\, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University\, will discuss the role of children and domestic workers as change agents in the Civil Rights Movement which in popular memory focuses on individuals such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks. However\, children are an integral part of the movement. From participants in school desegregation efforts to domestic workers’ contributions to local boycotts\, we see their roles are vital to advancing the cause of civil rights. \nScruggs is a recent Ph.D. recipient in history from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst\, and the author of Kids and Kitchens: The Role of Children and Domestic Workers in the Civil Rights Movement. A native Texan\, she received a BA and MA in history from Texas Southern University. Her research fields are 20th century US\, African American Public History and Gender and Empire. She serves on the executive boards of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History and the National Collaborative for Women’s History Sites. She performs volunteer work for various community preservation initiatives\, bringing stories to broader audiences. Her current project examines the lived experiences of Texas African-American women domestic servants in the early 20th century and how interventions from social\, civic\, government and higher education institutions impact the occupation. \nThe moderator is Max Gabrielson. A reception will follow the talk. There is no charge to attend\, but donations are welcome. Visit the Wilton Library website for additional dates\, topic and speaker details\, and registration. Registration is required for each individual session. \nAdditional dates:  \nMarch 12: US Women Demand Equity: From Voting Rights to Work Conditions — Dr. Aimee Loiselle\nMarch 26:  The Long Road toward LGBTQ+ Rights and Equality in the United States — Dr. Kelly Marino
