SUMMARY:Arjun Singh Sethi - AMERICAN HATE: SURVIVORS SPEAK OUT
DESCRIPTION:START:\n\nSunday\, September 23\, 2018 – 5:00pm\n\n\n\nLOCATION:\n\n\n\n2421 Bissonnet St\n\nHouston\, TX 77005\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA moving and timely collection of testimonials from people impacted by hate before and after the 2016 presidential election  \nIn American Hate: Survivors Speak Out\, Arjun Singh Sethi\, a community activist and civil rights lawyer\, chronicles the stories of individuals affected by hate. In a series of powerful\, unfiltered testimonials\, survivors tell their stories in their own words and describe how the bigoted rhetoric and policies of the Trump administration have intensified bullying\, discrimination\, and even violence toward them and their communities. \nWe hear from the family of Khalid Jabara\, who was murdered in Tulsa\, Oklahoma\, in August 2016 by a man who had previously harassed and threatened them because they were Arab American. Sethi brings us the story of Jeanette Vizguerra\, an undocumented mother of four who took sanctuary in a Denver church in February 2017 because she feared deportation under Trump’s cruel immigration enforcement regime. Sethi interviews Taylor Dumpson\, a young black woman who was elected student body president at American University only to find nooses hanging across campus on her first day in office. We hear from many more people impacted by the Trump administration\, including Native\, black\, Arab\, Latinx\, South Asian\, Southeast Asian\, Muslim\, Jewish\, Sikh\, undocumented\, refugee\, transgender\, queer\, and people with disabilities. \nA necessary book for these times\, American Hate explores this tragic moment in U.S. history by empowering survivors whose voices white supremacists and right-wing populist movements have tried to silence. It also provides ideas and practices for resistance that all of us can take to combat hate both now and in the future. \n\nArjun Singh Sethi is a community activist\, civil rights lawyer\, writer\, and law professor based in Washington\, DC. He works closely with Muslim\, Arab\, South Asian\, and Sikh communities and advocates for racial justice\, equity\, and social change at both the local and the national levels. His writing has appeared in CNN Opinion\, The Guardian\, Politico magazine\, USA Today\, and the Washington Post\, and he is featured regularly on national radio and television. He holds faculty appointments at Georgetown University Law Center and Vanderbilt University Law School\, and presently co-chairs the American Bar Association’s National Committee on Homeland Security\, Terrorism\, and Treatment of Enemy Combatants.

SUMMARY:The Green Book: African-American Travel in the Jim Crow Era
DESCRIPTION:Under Jim Crow segregation laws\, African-Americans were often met with discrimination and intimidation as they traveled across the United States. Victor Green\, a black postal worker in New York\, published the first Negro Motorist Green Book in 1936 as a guide to businesses that would serve African-American travelers; over the next 28 years\, the annual publication helped scores of motorists find hotels\, tourist homes\, restaurants\, barber shops\, beauty parlors\, service stations and taverns across the country. \nGreen wrote that the Green Book would not be necessary “when we as a race will have equal opportunities and privileges.” He died in 1960 and the last edition of the guide was published in 1966. By that time\, the development of the national highway system had decreased the chances of discrimination against African-American motorists. The passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act made the Green Book and similar publications obsolete\, just as Green had predicted. \nHoustonians Toya and Reuben Levi organized the Green Book Project to document African-Americans’ experiences traveling across the U.S. under Jim Crow through photos\, interviews and documentation of existing sites listed in the Green Book. The Levis will discuss the history and legacy of the Green Book\, as well as some of the Houston locations listed in the guide through the years\, in this illustrated lecture. \nDoors will open at 6 p.m. and the program will begin at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday\, September 25\, at the historic DeLuxe Theater\, 3303 Lyons Avenue. Free parking is available in the lot behind the theater as well as on the street. \nAdmission is free and open to the public; seating is limited. RSVP by Friday\, September 21. \n\n\nThis event is part of the Bart Truxillo Program Series\, which honors the memory of pioneer preservationist and Preservation Houston co-founder Bart Truxillo. The Bart Truxillo Program Series is made possible by the generous contributions of Preservation Houston’s members and friends.

SUMMARY:Migrant Children in Crisis - Dehumanization and Deprivation in Immigration Detention
DESCRIPTION:This is an interactive community event that begins with a conversation between physicians and faith leaders. The conversation will focus on the dehumanization and deprivations of children in immigration detention\, that compounds the trauma from the conditions from which they flee and the harrowing journey towards the specter of freedom that follows. People of good conscience gathered in the audience will break into groups for discussion about the issues and to explore ways to take action. This event is FREE. Light bites will be provided. Spanish language translation services supported by Antena Houston.
