SUMMARY:The Green Book in West Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Join the Cabell County Public Library as they host Claire Tryon from the WV Division of Arts\, Culture\, and History. Green Books were guidebooks for African-American travelers\, allowing them to safely navigate their way across a segregated and violent mid-century United States. The history of the Green Book in West Virginia was an integral part of the people and buildings that composed the vibrant African-American community within the state. This presentation also examines these historically significant sites in the present\, particularly\, their alterations and demolitions\, and the ongoing efforts of organizations on a state and local level to combat the loss of these historic regions.

SUMMARY:Annual Carter G. Woodson Lecture featuring Marie E. Redd
DESCRIPTION:Annual Carter G. Woodson Lecture at Marshall University to be delivered by Burlington 37 descendant Marie E. Redd \nFormer West Virginia State Senator Marie E. Redd will present this year’s Carter G. Woodson Lecture at 4 p.m. Wednesday\, Feb. 19\, in the Shawkey Room of Marshall University’s Memorial Student Center. \nA native of Huntington\, Redd is owner of the Redd Social Security Compensation Office and a descendant of the Burlington 37 – a group of former enslaved people who were freed and relocated to Burlington\, Ohio. Redd’s presentation will focus on the Burlington 37\, who formed the first free-black community west of the Alleghany Mountains in 1849. \nRedd attended the all-black Barnett Elementary School\, formerly located at Hal Greer Boulevard and Eighth Avenue\, Oley Junior High School and Huntington High School. She earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees from Marshall. She has served as a full-time instructor of criminal justice at Marshall. Redd was inducted into the inaugural class of the Marshall University Black Alumni Hall of Fame. \nIn 1998\, Redd became the first African American elected to the West Virginia State Senate and the first female state senator elected from Cabell and Wayne counties. In 2003\, Redd advocated for and received funding for a senior citizens’ center in the Fairfield Community\, which was named the Marie Redd Senior Life Enrichment Center in her honor. West Virginia Living Magazine featured Redd as one of the West Virginia Wonder(ful) Women in 2020\, and she was inducted into the Greater Huntington Hall of Fame in 2022. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the John Deaver Drinko Academy and the Dr. Carter G. Woodson Lyceum at Marshall University. \n“We are honored to have Marie Redd serve as the 2025 Carter G. Woodson Lecturer\,” said Dr. Montserrat Miller\, executive director of the Drinko Academy and a history professor. “Redd is a model citizen who has made a range of significant contributions to our community. Her presentation will advance public understanding of the historic importance of the Burlington 37 to this region and to our country.” \n“I tried for years to get Marie as a speaker. It has been difficult because of her schedule\,” said Burnis Morris\, director of the Dr. Carter G. Woodson Lyceum at Marshall and a professor of journalism. “But now it’s going to happen\, and I can’t wait for this event.” \nThe Carter G. Woodson Lecture is one of Marshall’s Black History Month events this February. For more information\, visit https://www.marshall.edu/woodsonlyceum/.

SUMMARY:MU History Lecture - "Vladimir Putin and Russian Memory of WWII"
DESCRIPTION:The Marshall University Department of History will welcome Dr. Karen Petrone\, professor of history and Zantker Professor of Jewish History at the University of Kentucky\, for the 2025 Charles Hill Moffat Lecture. Petrone will present “Vladimir Putin and Russian Memory of the Second World War\,” at 5 p.m. Thursday\, April 10\, in the Shawkey Dining Room of the Memorial Student Center. The event is free and open to the public. \nPetrone’s lecture: \n· Will examine how Russia’s memory of World War II has been sacralized\, mythologized and reimagined as a central pillar of contemporary Russian nationalism. \n· She will explore how Vladimir Putin has leveraged historical narratives of the war to justify Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. \n· And how the war’s legacy continues to shape Russian state legitimacy and patriotism today. \n“Professor Petrone is an excellent resource for understanding how Russia has used historical memory to justify its actions in Ukraine and beyond\,” said Dr. Chris White\, a professor in Marshall’s history department. “Her expertise provides important historical context to those seeking a fuller understanding of the Russo-Ukraine War.” \nPetrone is the author of “Life Has Become More Joyous\, Comrades: Celebrations in the Time of Stalin and The Great War in Russian Memory.”  She is currently completing a book on war memory in Putin’s Russia and serves as co-director of the UK-JHF Holocaust Education Initiative. \n“This promises to be a dynamic and exceptionally relevant presentation\,” said Dr. Greta Rensenbrink\, chair of the history department. \nThe Charles Hill Moffat Fund and the Marshall University Department of History sponsor the lecture.

SUMMARY:Word on the Block #3
DESCRIPTION:The mic is live on the block\, the knowledge is deep\, and the music is original. Word on the Block #3 is back—bringing the community together in an intergenerational\, interdisciplinary celebration of what it means to gather with purpose. \nSet on 8th Avenue between Hal Greer Boulevard and 17th Street\, this electrifying live event blends scholarship\, storytelling\, podcasting\, and music into one unforgettable afternoon. \nLaunched in 2021 with funding from the West Virginia Humanities Council as part of the Biden Administration’s COVID-19 relief efforts\, Word on the Block was born as a healing space to help neighbors reconnect after the isolation of the pandemic. Now\, with national backing from the National Endowment for the Arts’ Arts HERE program\, the vision expands: deeper conversations\, stronger performances\, and a bigger platform for community truth-telling. \nAt its heart\, Word on the Block is about putting the mic where the people are—and this year’s scholar lineup delivers powerful truths. Speakers include: \n\nDr. Phil Carter (Professor)\nCrystal Good (Poet and Publisher)\nSean Hornbuckle (Financial Advisor\, WV Delegate)\nDr. Gregory Breeden\n\nDr. Georgiana Logan\n\nStaysha Quintrell (Midwife)\nJason Tartt (Farmer)\n\nTogether\, these voices will explore farming\, civics\, midwifery\, Black men’s health\, social justice\, human rights\, publishing\, and the evolution of DEI from the civil rights movement to the present. \nComplementing the scholarship is a genre-defying roster of live performers\, including: Gardenn\, NeeNee Incognita\, AC\, Bernard Craighead\, Se7en\, Deano Mission\, Angela Linthicum\, Scantag \nOriginal compositions from these MCs\, R&B vocalists\, and producers will range from urban eclectic to street rap\, with sonic guidance from co-producing partner Duke Johnson of Thyrd World Music. \nWord on the Block #3 is executive produced by All Here Together Productions and the Positive People Association (PPA)—two regional powerhouses in creative collaboration. For four years\, PPA has led youth and family programming at the J.W. Scott Center\, with Word on the Block as one of its signature projects. \n“Word on the Block is my heart\,” says Carmen-Mitzi Sinnott\, internationally acclaimed artist and event co-producer.  “It’s what I know we are when we come together for the greater good. When Duke\, Norman\, and I first built the idea\, their willingness to experiment made it all possible. Now\, here we are—nationally funded and stronger than ever.” \nThe event kicks off with a live recording of The Biz Podcast\, hosted by Leah Brown-Branch and Norman Branch\, who will explore historical and cultural topics with the scholars. But the real magic happens when the audience joins in—Word on the Block doesn’t just perform to the people\, it passes the mic.

SUMMARY:Ellie Schaul Artist Talk: Zeitgeist Houses
DESCRIPTION:An absolute must-see highlight of our Tiny Art Exhibit at West Edge Factory is a collection of three “Zeitgeist Houses” by artist Ellie Schaul.\nThe Zeitgeist House Project began in 1984 with the acquisition of a handcrafted dollhouse at a church yard sale. Ellie invited artists she had collaborated with through the years as Director of The Art Store in Charleston to contribute tiny original works for the house\, and by 2014 the house became a miniature museum. She later added two more houses\, one built from scratch and another as a re-worked dollhouse.\nTogether the three Zeitgeist houses contain nearly one hundred tiny pieces of art.\nEllie Schaul is one of West Virginia’s most enduring artists. We are so pleased to have her work on display in the Turret Gallery at West Edge Factory\, and extremely excited to host her for an artist talk about these unique and breathtaking miniature museums.\nJoin us for an artist talk at 1:00 pm on Saturday\, July 19!\nSee Ellie’s work along with the work of 17 other artists in our Tiny Art Show and enjoy the mini art market taking place in the large room adjacent to the gallery that same day from 11-4.\nThis talk is free and open to the public.
