Interweaving American history, dramatic family chronicle, and searing episodes of memoir, Annette Gordon-Reed, the descendant of enslaved people brought to Texas in the 1850s, recounts the origins of Juneteenth and explores the legacies of the holiday that remain with us. A slave-and race-based economy not only defined this fractious era of Texas independence but precipitated the Mexican-American War and the Civil War.

On Thursdays in June, explore the lives of Jews whose stories you never knew. From sixteenth-century Portugal to Yiddish New York City, from Temple Sisterhood to queer community, each of the subjects of this four-session course broke ground to create social, cultural, or political space for themselves and for Jewish women and nonbinary people more broadly. This course is presented in partnership with Central Synagogue. For course details, visit jwa.org/events.
Session 3, Thursday, June 17: Miriam Karpilove, with Jessica Kirzane, Editor-in-Chief of In geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies and translator of Miriam Karpilove’s Diary of a Lonely Girl
PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
Join MacArthur “Genius” Fellow and Harvard University Professor Tiya Miles as she discusses her new book, All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, a Black Family Keepsake, a story about women, mothers, and daughters, who chose the profundity of love over dehumanizing condition. At the heart of this moving tale is a rough cotton bag, given by an enslaved woman named Rose to her daughter, Ashley, before their forced separation.
