SUMMARY:Baseball in the American Culture with Evan Weiner
DESCRIPTION:Baseball has been embedded in the American culture since the end of the Civil War. There have been poems\, songs\, comedy routines\, movies\, TV shows\, books with baseball themes. Baseball cards also were a big part of the culture. Casey At the Bat was required reading for elementary school students at one point. Abbott and Costello’s Who’s On First routine debuted on radio and led them to the Hall of Fame. The name Cooperstown means something special. And even Broadway got into the act with a play. Nobody ever wanted to be “Wally Pipped”. Even today business analytics may have evolved from Money Ball. Baseball was once the king of American sports\, that may have ended but baseball in the culture has never gone away. \n  \nRegistration to come later

SUMMARY:Triangle Shirt Waist Factory Fire with Eugene Boesch
DESCRIPTION:On March 25\, 1911\, the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory at Washington Square in New York City burned\, killing 145 workers. It is remembered as one of the most infamous incidents in American industrial history as the deaths were largely preventable – most of the victims\, young immigrant women\, died as a result of neglected safety features and locked doors within the factory building. The tragedy brought widespread attention to the dangerous workshop conditions of factories of the day and lead to the development of laws and regulations that better protected the safety of workers.

SUMMARY:Film Screening followed by Q&A with Director Jeremy Newberger: Heading Home
DESCRIPTION:Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel.\n\nJoin us to watch this riveting David-and-Goliath story of Israel’s national baseball team as it competes for the first time in the World Baseball Classic. \nAfter years of crushing defeats\, Israel finally ranks among the world’s best in 2017. Its roster includes many Jewish-American major leaguers\, most with a tenuous relationship to Judaism\, barely any ever having set foot in Israel. Their odyssey takes them from the Holy Land where they are hailed as modern-day Maccabees to the tournament in South Korea where they must debunk their reputations as has-beens and wannabes. The connection to Israel that the players forge pushes them to unexpected heights as they represent the country on the world stage. \nThe screening will be followed by a Q&A discussion with the director. Watch the trailer here.

SUMMARY:Women's History Month with Dana Rubin
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Women’s History Month\, Dana will be telling us about what inspired her to rescue women’s speeches from obscurity. She’ll share a few stories about historic women speakers you may not have heard of — from right in our backyard. And she’ll explain why it’s so important that we shift our understanding of who spoke out in history to include women. She makes a powerful case that unless you know the history of women’s speech\, you don’t really know American history — and that all our public voices are needed to create the world we want to live in. \nDana Rubin is a consultant\, speechwriter\, and speaker who’s on a mission to encourage more women to put their views into the public square. She created the Speaking While Female Speech Bank to broaden our understanding of the role of women orators in history. It’s the world’s largest online archive of women’s speeches from around the world and across time\, free for anyone to use. She’s also about to publish a women’s speech anthology\, “Speaking While Female: 75 Extraordinary Speeches by American Women\,” which tells the story of America through the voices of women\, from 1637-2021. Dana is a speaker and a public speaking coach\, and she leads workshops that support women to be thought leaders\, subject matter experts\, brand ambassadors\, and role models for future generations of women and girls.
