SUMMARY:The Swans of Harlem: Reclaiming the History of Black Ballet at Francis W. Parker School
DESCRIPTION:The legendary “Swans of Harlem” ballerinas take the stage with Brandis Friedman (co-anchor\, WTTW Chicago Tonight / host\, Black Voices) and author Karen Valby to reclaim and lift up the trailblazing contributions to the dance world by these Black artists whose stories have been marginalized\, devalued and forgotten by history. Stay after the chat for a live dance performance tribute to the Swans by the Chicago-based dance company Move Me Soul. \nAt the height of the Civil Rights Era\, Lydia Abarca was a star prima ballerina leading international performances for the Dance Theatre of Harlem\, and the first Black ballerina with a ballet company to grace the cover of Dance Magazine. Abarca formed an unbreakable bond with fellow pioneering dancers\, including Sheila Rohan\, Karlya Shelton and Marcia Sells. At a time of intense racial and gender inequality\, these remarkable women performed for the Queen of England\, at the White House and beyond. Decades later\, however\, their story was still missing from history. This groundbreaking group of friends reunite at Chicago Humanities to discuss Valby’s new book\, The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas\, Fifty Years of Sisterhood\, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History. Their enthralling saga celebrates resilient Black women\, the enduring power of female friendship\, and reveals the hidden history of Black ballet\, kept secret for far too long. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/swans-harlem/

SUMMARY:Bakari Sellers: Moving Forward from The Race Reckoning at Ramova Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Former South Carolina State Representative and CNN Political Analyst Bakari Sellers passionately asked live on-air the question that many Black Americans had in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020: “We have black children. I have a 15-year-old daughter. I mean\, what do I tell her?” Four years later\, Sellers has an answer to the question he raised on CNN. Discover his answers as Chicago Humanities grapples with this difficult question and learns about Barkari’s journey for personal and public policy solutions that impact Black families across the country. Sellers examines the inequalities in healthcare and education\, and policing gaps\, drawing from discussions with key thinkers like Rev. William Barber and attorney Ben Crump. Using these legends as jumping off points\, Sellers deftly expands on his powerfully persuasive New York Times bestseller My Vanishing Country and latest book\, The Moment: Thoughts on the Race Reckoning That Wasn’t and How We All Can Move Forward Now. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/bakari-sellers/

SUMMARY:Ali Velshi: Small Acts of Courage Endure at Illinois Tech - Hermann Hall
DESCRIPTION:Over a century ago\, MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s great-grandfather sent his son to live at Gandhi’s ashram in South Africa. That tough decision forever changed his family story. Velshi’s grandfather became focused on public service\, social justice and the equality of all people. These beliefs evolved through generations as his family escaped apartheid\, emigrated to Kenya and ultimately settled in Canada and the United States. In Velshi’s most recent book\, Small Acts of Courage: A Legacy of Endurance and the Fight for Democracy\, he explores his family legacy and takes notes from social justice warriors Mahatma Gandhi\, Nelson Mandela and Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a guide to how small actions of those who fought for democracy and freedom have profound political impacts. Chicago Humanities welcomes the famed author as he explores 125 years of family history and how social justice is a living\, breathing experience―a way of life more than an ideology. \nAccessibility: Open Captions\, Assistive Listening Devices\, and Wheelchair Accessible. \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/ali-velshi/

Diana has been battling bipolar disorder for the past 16 years. Dan has spent these 16 years trying to take care of his wife\, along with the help of–while simultaneously neglecting–their kids\, Natalie and Gabe. Through faith\, religion\, medication\, trips to the doctor\, and family support\, NEXT TO NORMAL explores how one family struggles with finding light in the darkness. \nSouth Asia Institute (SAI) was established in 2015 with the mission to cultivate the art and culture of South Asian Americans through curated exhibitions\, innovative programs and creative educational initiatives. We aim to amplify South Asian American voices and explore their complexities while staying connected to our larger human family. \nBoth performances on Saturday\, May 19th will feature Open Captions for all dialogue and songs. Matinee begins at 2 PM\, evening performance begins at 7 PM. \nhttps://www.pop-up-productions.com/season
