SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: White Waters\, Black Wonderlands
DESCRIPTION:White Waters\, Black Wonderlands: Escaping Race\, Radicalizing Space\, and Creating Place on the Water \nBoats\, beaches\, bare bodies\, and the “Water Wonderland” that Michigan had to offer were all facets of recreation that both white and Black Michiganders and Detroiters hoped to access\, yet\, with white people holding social\, political\, economic\, and police power in the state\, they possessed more agency in staking claims to the spaces where such recreation could take place\, cultivating a white identity for Michigan along the Detroit River and on the shores of Lake Michigan. This pushed Black Michiganders to engage in their own resistant acts of placemaking in spaces both in and outside Detroit; beachy spaces that were more than fit for bare bodies\, but which came to mean more than just a day out on the boat. White Water Wonderland and Black Water Wonderland were two very different things. These contested recreational sites include Belle Isle\, Sugar Island\, Woodland Park\, Idlewild\, the Black Bottom of Detroit\, Muskegon\, Traverse City\, Holland\, and Mackinac Island. Join University of Michigan students\, part of the Detroit River Story Lab\, as they discuss their research on the racialization of water recreation in Michigan. \nThis lecture is presented by University of Michigan part of the Detroit River Story Lab: \nEdie Adams– A recent graduate from the University of Michigan with a degree in History and Linguistics and a minor in Sociology of Law\, Justice and Social Change. While enrolled in the Detroit River Story Lab course\, she had the chance to research race relationships and their associations with place\, furthering her interest in developing representative teaching tools. \nDavid Mori– A current Ph.D. candidate in history at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor\, his work focuses on the history of the twentieth century in the United States\, and focuses on Asian Americans\, activism\, and incarceration. Last year he had a chance to work on a project that examined the relationship between recreation\, space\, and race in Michigan while participating in a lab course with the Detroit River Story Lab. \nSamantha L. Adams– A current Ph.D. candidate in English & Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor\, her dissertation research focuses on relationships between Black Americans and bodies of water beyond the Atlantic Ocean in African American literature and history. She is a proud former Intern and Research Assistant at the Detroit River Story Lab\, where she discovered a passion for place-based education \nThis lecture is part of our year-long programmatic series Whispers Across the Water that showcases and celebrates the invaluable contributions of minority communities to Great Lakes maritime history and heritage. \nLecture Series proudly sponsored by the Nielsen-Wells Grant Fund and Mike & Susan Smith

SUMMARY:Women of the Watch
DESCRIPTION:“Women of the Watch\, Keepers of the Light\,” written and performed by Kamryn Marck and directed by D.B. Schroeder\, is an uplifting 45-minutes of music\, laughter\, and simple honest storytelling. The play follows Kamryn as she relives family trips to lighthouses in Michigan\, which ignites a passion to share the spectacular stories of various female lighthouse keepers of the Great Lakes. She details the lives of four particular keepers by donning voice and movement. As she steps into these brave women’s shoes\, she discovers the tragedy of the hardships they faced and the beauty of their spirits. Each show is followed by a Q and A talkback for an hour long presentation. The show was commissioned by The Lorenzo Cultural Center in Macomb\, MI. \nThis performance is part of our year-long programmatic series Whispers Across the Water that showcases and celebrates the invaluable contributions of minority communities to Great Lakes maritime history and heritage. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: "Save a Walleye\, Spear an Indian"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Series is proudly sponsored by the Nielsen-Wells Grand Fund and Mike & Susan Smith\n\nThe Michigan Maritime Museum is proud to showcase South Haven middle school student Hayden Washegesic for his History Day competition performance presentation of “Save a Walleye\, Spear an Indian\,” based on his research of the Wisconsin Walleye War of the 1980s and 90s\, a tumultuous time in the history of the Native American rights movement. Hayden brings those voices to life as his presentation calls attention to a significant moment in the history of the Lac du Flambeau and Lac Courte Oreilles bands of the Ojibwe Nation. \nHayden Washegesic is a South Haven student. A longtime member of his school’s History Club\, this will be Hayden’s third year competing at Nationals for History Day. He chose to focus on this topic as it highlights an aspect of Native American history that isn’t widely discussed. This is also personal for Hayden\, as his grandfather came to South Haven to work with his father on the gillnet fish tug Elsie J. as a commercial fisherman. Hayden wanted to pursue this topic not only for its broader historical importance but also as it relates to his personal family history. \nThis lecture is part of our year-long programmatic series Whispers Across the Water that showcases and celebrates the invaluable contributions of minority communities to Great Lakes maritime history and heritage
