SUMMARY:An Evening of Poetry with David Mills
DESCRIPTION:David Mills will read from\, and reflect upon\, the research behind his recent poetry collection\, Boneyarn\, the first-ever book of poems about slavery in New York City. \nThe city holds the oldest and largest slave cemetery in the United States—the African Burial Ground—which was open from 1712 to 1795 and is located in Wall Street’s shadows. Fifteen thousand enslaved and free Blacks\, some Native Americans\, and poor whites are buried there. Mills creatively “excavates” the tragedies and triumphs of New York’s enslaved and free Black community. He writes about those who toiled as cooks\, childhood chimney sweeps\, sailed the Atlantic\, fought in the Revolutionary War\, maintained African traditions when burying the dead\, built the “wall” where Wall Street gets its name\, and regrettably were dehumanized in life and sometimes desecrated in death. The collection also includes a suite of poems dedicated to Jupiter Hammon; born into slavery on Long Island\, New York\, Hammon was the first Black poet published in North America. \nMr. Mills holds an MFA from Warren Wilson College and an MA from New York University. He’s published four collections: The Dream Detective\, The Sudden Country\, After Mistic (Massachusetts slavery poems) and the bestselling Boneyarn. His poems have appeared in Ploughshares\, Brooklyn Rail\, Colorado Review\, Crab Orchard Review Jubilat\, Callaloo\, Obsidian\, The Common\, Brooklyn Rail\, Rattapallax\, The Literary Review\, The African-American Review and Fence. He has received fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, Breadloaf\, the Lannan Foundation\, the Queens Council on the Arts\, the Bronx Council on the Arts\, Washington College and The American Antiquarian Society. He lived in Langston Hughes’ landmark Harlem home for three years (was a recipient of the Langston Hughes Society Award) and wrote the audio script for Macarthur-Genius-Award Winner Deborah Willis’ curated exhibition: Reflections in Black:100 Years of Black Photography. The Juilliard School of Drama commissioned and produced a play by Mr. Mills. He has recorded his poetry on ESPN\, RCA Records and has had poems displayed at the Venice Biennale and Germany’s Documenta art exhibition. \nRegister for Poetry with David Mills here.

SUMMARY:The Harlem Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Harlem flourished in the 1920s\, energized by the Great Migration of African Americans from the South who were looking for jobs in New York City. The first generation of photographers\, painters\, and muralists tapped into new calls for expressing racial pride and optimism; the second worked through the Depression and World War II\, carrying on this inspiration and deepening the depictions. This is the story of the art of the Harlem Renaissance\, which is still influencing artists today. \nAs we embark on a journey through the art of the Harlem Renaissance\, our virtual showcase will include: \n• A look at the diverse styles of artists working in Harlem from the 1920s to 1940s\n• An overview of two generations of Harlem Renaissance artists — some well-known\, others less familiar\n• An understanding of how contemporary African American artists stand on the shoulders of these breakthrough artists \nRegister here for Harlem Renaissance. \nRegistration Ends: 2/14/2022 at 12:00 PM \nContact Number: 914-422-6922\nPresenter: Rena Tobey
