SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:  \nTopic: Witness to History: Selma Photography of Stephen Somerstein \nPresenter: Stephen Somerstein \nTwo thousand marchers set out March 21\, 1965\, along Route 80\, known as the “Jefferson Davis Highway.” After two failed attempts to complete the march\, President Lyndon B. Johnson dispatched federal and state troops to guard the demonstrators along the way to the state capitol\, 54 miles away. By the time the marchers reached Montgomery\, their number had grown to 25\,000. \nFollowing the rapidly unfolding events\, 24-year-old City College of New York student journalist-photographer Stephen Somerstein joined the gathering student contingents on one of the many chartered buses leaving New York City and heading to Alabama. He arrived on March 25\, in time for the final march to the state capitol. With five cameras around his neck and only 15 rolls of film\, Somerstein seemed to be everywhere at once documenting this pivotal moment in the civil rights movement. He captured photographs of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. and other prominent activists such as Rosa Parks\, James Baldwin\, Bayard Rustin\, John Lewis\, and Joan Baez. Somerstein also took poignant portraits of his fellow demonstrators\, as well as the anonymous bystanders who had gathered along the route to observe the civil action in progress. \nJoin us virtually or in-person on Wednesday\, April 20\, as Mr. Stephen Somerstein shares his personal memories and experiences of that 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery. \nLunchbox Learning is free for UHM Members and included with general admission for all other guests. \nThe April 20 program will be in-person and also stream virtually through Zoom. \n \n  \n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning
DESCRIPTION:  \nTopic: Animating Forces: The Lasting Legacy of Warner Bros. Animation \nPresenter: Jeffrey Martell \nJoin Mr. Jeffrey Martell for a brief production-centric survey of Warner Brothers animation traditions that last even to today. The traditional animation of Disney’s Nine Old Men often overshadows the equally important innovators and craftsmen of Warner Bros. Cartoons. The work by the likes of Chuck Jones\, Ken Harris\, and Tex Avery have become the bedrock upon which many contemporary animated films are built. Discuss some of the fundamentals of timing and spacing\, or learn why WB Cartoons are almost always animated “on 2’s\,” then stay for a short Q&A afterwards. \nJeff Martell is Instructor of Animation and Motion Studies at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities\, where he has been teaching for eight years. His nationally recognized animation program has led to students winning the 2020 Golden Lion [Best of Show] from the American Academy of Cinematic Arts\, and several student films have been honored as Official Selection at the 2022 National Film Festival for Talented Youth in Seattle. \n  \nLunchbox Learning is free for UHM Members and included with general admission for all other guests. \n  \n\n \n\n  \n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:

SUMMARY:Lunchbox Learning - Viet Nam: Music that Defined an Era
DESCRIPTION:  \nViet Nam: Music That Defined An Era\nPresented by Dr. Erin McCoy\, USC Beaufort \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Erin McCoy\, USC Beaufort\, explores the impact of the American music scene during the tumultuous years of the Viet Nam War. From the anti-war sentiments of the early classic rock groups like The Animals to the folk music of Bob Dylan\, music served as a forum to express the national discontent with American involvement in Viet Nam. However\, not all music shared this anti-war sentiment. The music of Merle Haggard and other country artists was often considered pro-war. \nDr. McCoy’s program will give an overview of different genres of music from the Viet Nam war era. Top 40 hits will be interspersed with deep cuts from the Viet Nam War era\, and the presentation will further include global\, cultural\, social\, and historical contexts for the songs presented. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis month’s program is sponsored by South Carolina Humanities\, a not-for-profit organization; inspiring\, engaging and enriching South Carolinians with programs on literature\, history\, culture and heritage. \n  \n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is free for UHM Members and included with general admission for all other guests. \n  \n\n \n\n  \n\n\n\n  \nLunchbox Learning is generously sponsored by:
