SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: “What Did Lincoln Know About Science\, and Did It Matter?”
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 14  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Dr. James M. Cornelius \nJames M. Cornelius\, Ph.D.\, the curator of the Lincoln Presidential Library from 2007-2018\, has been working on this topic for more than a decade and given two preliminary public talks on the subject.  It begins from the well-known surprise that Abraham Lincoln was our only president who held a scientific patent\, then takes up the mental world of his era concerning such largely uncovered topics (at least in Lincoln circles) as ‘race science\,’ phrenology\, genetic inheritance\, astronomy\, geography\, weaponry\, folk vs. “real” medicine\, natural history and discovery\, even linguistics.  Some of these fields may have influenced his presidential or other political actions.  Parts of the talk may be unpalatable to polite conversation about him\, and that is why the topic needs addressing. \nCornelius\, a native of Minneapolis\, is married to Anne.  They were classmates at Lawrence University in Appleton and have two grown daughters. He is the secretary for and editor of the Abraham Lincoln Association’s newsletter For the People (Springfield\, Ill.)\, former editor (2018-2023) of the Journal of the ALA\, and the author or editor of half-a-dozen books on Lincoln and his times.

SUMMARY:African American Read-In: Honoring James Earl Jones
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 1  |  1pm – 3pm  |  Free \nThis program celebrates African American culture through the voices of Black authors across a range of literary forms\, including poems\, essays\, historic speeches\, short stories\, and children’s books. Community readers lend their voices to works that are sure to inspire\, challenge\, and reflect on the Black experience in the United States. \nThis year\, we honor the life and legacy of James Earl Jones\, a trailblazer for Black actors in the entertainment industry. Known for his iconic roles on both stage and screen\, Jones first made history in 1965 as one of the first African American actors to secure a continuing role on a daytime drama. A rare EGOT winner (Emmy\, Grammy\, Oscar\, Tony)\, he achieved unparalleled success across multiple disciplines and is best known for his booming voice. Jones credited his mastery of poetry—particularly reading it aloud—as a key factor in overcoming the stutter he struggled with as a child. \n2025 is the 36th year of the National African American Read In\, an event sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English and its Black Caucus. Each year communities across the country are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month. This program is presented in partnership with the Kenosha Literacy Council\, the Coalition for Dismantling Racism\, the Kenosha Media Center\, the American Association of University Women\, and the Kenosha Public Library.

SUMMARY:Kindness in a Cup of Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 23  |  6:30pm – 7:30pm  |  Presented by Doug Dammann and Steve Acker  \nOne of the items that brought together the Civil War soldiers and sometimes led to moments of civility and understanding was coffee.   No single item of food or drink meant as much to Civil War soldiers.  They talked about coffee\, wrote about coffee\, and dreamed about coffee.  Based on first hand written accounts\, this program describes the different methods Civil War soldiers obtained\, brewed and shared their coffee and how these actions sometimes brought them brief moments of peace\, comfort and kindness. \nEach year\, the Kenosha Coalition for Dismantling Racism hosts a week affiliated with continuing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of kindness and community. In 2025\, Kindness Week programming will occur from January 17-25.

SUMMARY:He Had No Army: The Hornets Nest at Shiloh
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 18  |  1pm – 2:30pm  |  Instructor: Tom Arliskas  |  $12 ($15 for non-members)  |  Register Here \nAuthor Tom Arliskas’ workshop will consider how the Federal Army was able to hold the position of the infamous Hornet’s Nest at the center of the Union lines for 6 hours during the first day of the Battle of Shiloh while the rest of the Union Forces fell back to the Tennessee Riverbank. Arliskas will use the words of those who were there that day–Generals Benjamin Prentiss\, W.H.L. Wallace\, and Steven A. Hurlbut\, their Brigade Commanders and their Colonels–to tell what happened. Were the Confederate forces untrained and poorly armed as described by their commanding General Albert Sidney Johnston? Was it the fighting spirit of the Western Soldier or was it Rifles vs. Smoothbores and Artillery that ruled the day?

SUMMARY:Exhibit Closing - Rooted Visions
DESCRIPTION:At times\, artists seem to create as if a force within is driving their messages regardless of access to formal training\, traditional art materials\, or patrons. They “make-do” through use of found objects and ordinary materials\, memory\, and spirituality. Their art transcends the suppression and unimaginable hardships of the maker and envisions possibilities for a better\, transformative world. Rooted Visions features works of art by twenty-five Southern Black artists who found ways to tell visionary stories through art in a world that often creates boundaries. \nCloses January 7th!
