SUMMARY:SB: The Historic Journey of African American Quilters
DESCRIPTION:Diane Williams\, storyteller and fiber artist\, begins her presentation with a discussion of Kente cloth weaved fibers of West Africa and moves on to utilitarian quilts made by African slaves in America who sewed for their owners. She provides a reflective look at how the designs of Underground Railroad quilts relate to storytelling\, and explores the works of Harriet Powers (1837-1910) and three other female fiber artists. Powers was a model for women quilters of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. In her discussion of 20th and 21st century quilting\, she uses the work of Faith Ringgold\, Carolyn L. Mazloomi and Mississippi quilter/fiber artist Gwen Magee. Williams uses her storytelling skills to explore how images — in pictures\, but also in quilts — can guide us to a place of tolerance\, empathy and sensitivity. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nDiane Williams is a neo-griot\, along the lines of the story­tellers from times gone by when oral historians were crucial to maintaining black folks’ history because book publishers didn’t believe the history worth chronicling. Williams is also a quilter\, an artistry befitting for a woman known for paying homage to the past. Williams uses silk yarns\, beads\, stones and vibrant colors to make traditional quilts with Motherland inspiration to tell stories of strength\, resilience and hope.

SUMMARY:HTA: Literature in Relief: Healing in the Human Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Ginny Leonard (East Mississippi Community College) will present her public lecture\, “Literature in Relief: Healing in the Human Spirit.” Reception to follow. \nThe strength of the written word does not rely on simple fact-giving or storytelling. Instead\, the true power of literature rests in its ability to soothe and heal the mind\, body\, and soul of humankind. This presentation will explore the many ways literature of all sorts relieves the pressures of the human condition.

SUMMARY:HTA: Fallen Ministers and Reformed Seductresses...
DESCRIPTION:Humanities Teacher Award winner Dr. Mikki Galliher (Blue Mountain College) will present her public lecture titled\, “Fallen Ministers and Reformed Seductresses in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter and Alice Cary’s Hagar\, A Story of Today.” Reception to follow. \nNathaniel Hawthorne’s classic text has much in common with another novel\, Hagar\, A Story for Today by Hawthorne’s contemporary Alice Cary.  Both novels feature a young woman who is seduced\, impregnated\, and then betrayed by her lover.  However\, while Hawthorne’s novel is a beloved classic studied in high school and college classrooms\, Cary’s work has fallen into obscurity\, unchampioned even by most feminist recovery projects despite Cary’s popularity and influence during her lifetime.  I posit that much of the reason for the disparity in reception lies in the way that Hawthorne’s text elicits empathy for the male seducer\, while Cary does not.
