Art Talk: Japonisme
Pennington Public Library

Speaker: Janet Mandel, Arts Educator
Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ZEID4w9tQV-5LVqTdiP00Q
The intriguing art and culture of Japan has always fascinated the Western World, and in the mid-19th Century, a wave of “Japanomania” swept across Europe and America. This talk will tell the story of how some of our favorite artists—Whistler, the Impressionists, Van Gogh and the Post-Impressionists among them— incorporated these influences into their work. We will also learn how the inspiration of the Japanese aesthetic expanded beyond painting and printmaking into the decorative arts, interior design, furnishings, fabrics, and fashion.

The Greyscale Economics Project / Brass Rabbit
Virtual and In-Person
James Kerney Campus Gallery
137 North Broad Street, Trenton
https://jkcgallery.online
The gallery is honored to be the first venue to show phase one of The Greyscale Economics Project by Brass Rabbit. This collection of work will give us a glimpse into the world of people who make a living working off the books and frequently with very minimial visibility. While some may choose to be in this system because of the economic advantages or the nature of their unscrupulous activities, others have few if any options and must participate in this economy in order to survive. These more vulnerable populations can be subject to abuse and crime without protection.
Rabbit’s work is both art and data, but most of all it is a chance to learn about the grey areas of our communities.
The Greyscale Economics Project combines data journalism, storytelling, and photography to highlight the stories of individuals who work in non-traditional economies. This project was designed to examine complex issues within American economics and the individuals who have created unusual avenues to bypass them.

2751 Brunswick Pike, Lawrenceville
(609) 883-8294 | mcl.org
750,000 men died in the American Civil War but the tragedy was magnified by disrespectful burial practices where large numbers of bodies were deposited, unidentified, into trenches. Enemy soldiers were frequently not buried at all. This program covers these issues and reports how after the war, Federal and state governments, including large numbers of women, sought to rectify the matter by re-burying them in special cemeteries. This program also covers the issue
of statues and monuments. Presented by Civil War expert Martin Mosho, who has studied the
Civil War for over 50 years and toured many of the most famous battlefields. He is a member
of a prominent Civil War society and a retired instructor of Mercer County Community College.

Speaker: Connie Goddard, Ph.D., Historian of Education
Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Fv7F3CwVTnGgSnm1nWTs3w
Less than a mile south of historic Bordentown’s center is the site of two notable monuments – one, which exists more in virtual memory, is an estate once owned by Charles Stewart, famed as commander of the 1812 battleship the U.S.S. Constitution, popularly known as “Ironsides”; the other is an actual monument that commemorates the Manual Training and Industrial School (MTIS) or the Bordentown School, which occupied the site for six decades and made it the campus for an iconic educational institution.
Though the school’s unique and distinguished history has been attracting well-deserved attention recently, less known is its connection to the Stewart family that owned the land for much of the 19th century. In honor of that connection, the school was also known as Ironsides – in fact, during its first decade, it was called Ironsides Normal School.
Learn about the history and significance of MTIS; its distinctive education program combined academic courses with trade training and was influenced by leading educators such as Booker
T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, and John Dewey, all of whom visited the campus. Other visitors included Paul Robeson, Mary McLeod Bethune, her friend Eleanor Roosevelt, Duke Ellington, Althea Gibson, and a host of others.

Living History Actor: Peyton Dixon, American Historical Theatre, a nonprofit organization specializing in first-person living history presentations
Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dNElk6EwQyyNQVZro1F6ng
When President McKinley was assassinated in 1901, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt bounded into Washington, D.C. as the youngest President in American history. Bringing his vigorous persona (and his boisterous family) to the White House, “TR” helped catapult the U.S. into a new century. His accomplishments were plentiful and diverse: War hero to Nobel Peace Prize winner, naturalist to imperialist. The 26th President promoted progressive reform and stronger government control of business. Believing that the security of the American People would be achieved through leadership on the World Stage, President Roosevelt expanded U.S. influence around the globe.
About Peyton Dixon:
After receiving his BFA in Theatre Performance from Otterbein College, Peyton Dixon traveled across the country on the gypsy-like journey as an actor. While in Philadelphia, he was introduced to the world of first-person interpretation, and found an exciting new world of sharing history through a personal lens. Peyton has been seen portraying historic figures for
the Republican National Convention, Independence National Historical Park, and the National
Archives, and appearing in documentaries on A&E and PBS.
Peyton has been a part of American Historical Theatre since 2001. He continues to research and travel, endeavoring to combine his passions of performance and American history. His goal is to bring to light the accomplishments as well as the imperfections of our founders, framers, and other famous figures: look beyond the statue, bring them off the pedestal altogether, and see the very real everyman beneath.

VIRTUAL: The Cultural Phenomenon of Home DNA Testing
Trenton Public LIbrary
120 Academy Street, Trenton
(609) 392-7188 | trentonlib.org
Libby Copeland is the author of The Lost Family: How DNA Testing is Upending Who We Are. This book explores the rapidly evolving phenomenon of home DNA testing, its implications for how we think about family and ourselves, and its ramifications for American culture broadly. The Wall Street Journal says it's "a fascinating account of lives dramatically affected by genetic sleuthing." The New York Times writes, "Before You Spit in That Vial, Read This Book." The Washington Post says The Lost Family "reads like an Agatha Christie mystery" and "wrestles with some of the biggest questions in life: Who are we? What is family? Are we defined by nature, nurture or both?"
This presentation will discuss the extraordinary cultural phenomenon of home DNA testing, which is redefining family history. With more than 37 million people having been tested, a tipping point has been reached. Virtually all Americans are affected whether they have been tested or
not, and millions have been impacted by significant revelations in their immediate families.
This event will take place via Facebook Live.

Registration: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9LGPK9R_Q7CntoErat2blA
John Kilbride will present the history and legacy of the Mercer & Somerset Railroad, an obscure, rural, central New Jersey line that became famous not for its trains, but for its fate as a Pennsylvania Railroad proxy in the 1876 “Frog War.” John will cover the history of the line, its role in the Hopewell skirmish, and its decline and abandonment in 1881.
Although the M&S was abandoned more than a century and a quarter ago, John will show examples of numerous portions of its right of way through the Hopewell Valley, and several surviving structures which remain as its legacy.
Now retired from a 34-year (Amtrak) railroad career, John Kilbride is the moderator of the Camden & Amboy Railroad Historians and Railroads of Trenton Facebook groups, and has been studying the C&A since moving to New Jersey in 1979.
Kilbride remains interested in historical research and writing on railroad topics, including a just-published article on a unique passenger train for a national publication, and contributing several photos to a Midwest railroad-themed book. Presently, he has started research on a book focusing on the electrification of the Long Island Railroad, and another on N. J.’s Camden & Amboy (C&A) Railroad.
He is also involved with the “Save The (Princeton) Dinky” group, and advising local historians on specific historical aspects of both the C&A and the Pennsylvania Railroad in New Jersey.
A frequent speaker in the Tri-State area, Kilbride is able to provide programs on a variety of railroad topics, from the C&A up to more contemporary themes. He seeks to travel by train whenever possible!!!

Join us as Jeanne Johnson, famed for her hour-long-in-depth studies of artists, guides us through the lives and works of Artemisia Gentileschi, Lavinia Fontana and Sofonisba Anguisola. During the 15th and 16th centuries, success followed talented women artists who challenged gender roles and conventions. Now, 400+ years later, these incredible women are receiving global recognition. Artemisia Gentileschi, Lavinia Fontana and Sofonisba Anguisola have all been showcased with international exhibits beginning in 2019. Artemisia, who is described by the BBC as “the Beyonce of art history”, is the first woman in the 196-year history of London’s National Gallery to have a major solo exhibit, with works from museums and private collections across Europe and the United States. She was one of the first women to achieve international recognition during her lifetime. Lavinia and Sofonisba, both extremely successful during their lifetimes, their reputations having languished after their deaths, have been honored with exhibits in Ireland and Spain. Johnson's interest in art and music have taken her to more than 87 countries in pursuit of her passions. Since retiring from a successful career as a classically trained musician, she has become an active volunteer on several boards and will serve as the next President of the Princeton YWCA Newcomers & Friends. Sponsored by the Friends of the Lawrence Library.
