SUMMARY:Presentation: Leading the Tuskegee Airmen - George S. Roberts
DESCRIPTION:Leading History Through the Skies\n \nLearn about the historic first commander of the Tuskegee Airmen\, George S. Roberts\, and the legacy left behind by the Tuskegee Airmen! \nEVENT AT CAPACITY – JOIN US VIRTUALLY!\nJoin the Richmond Museum Association and The Walking Ghosts of Black History in celebrating the profound legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. We are honored to host sisters Leigh Roberts and Lanelle Roberts Brent\, daughters of Col. George S. “Spanky” Roberts—the first African American aviation commander of the Tuskegee Airmen’s 99th Fighter Squadron—and their mother\, Edith Roberts\, founder of the Tuskegee Airmen Living History Team. \nContinuing their parents’ mission\, Leigh and Lanelle are dedicated to sharing the untold stories of the Tuskegee Airmen—accounts that go beyond the history books. Don’t miss this special presentation as they offer insights into their father’s pioneering role and the profound impact of the Tuskegee Airmen on American military history. \nThe Tuskegee Airmen was born in 1941 to much internal and external opposition from proponents of segregation and Jim Crow law in the government. With the support of organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)\, black press outlets\, and civil rights figures such as Asa Philip Randolph\, the military had no choice but to authorize the formation and deployment of the 99th Fighter Squadron. They would later prove instrumental to the resolution of World War II\, leading 15\,000 missions and earning a number of awards and decorations for their contributions in the air. \nIn light of recent attempts of the current administration to erase this vital part of American history\, it has become all the more important for institutions to not only preserve\, but to actively teach of the Tuskegee Airmen’s’ plight and also their triumph in overcoming racial barriers and their role in the dismantling of American desegregation. \nSee Tuskegee Airmen Inc.’s statement on the recommitment to preserve the Tuskegee Airmen’s history in the Air Force – January 27\, 2025 \nAt the event:\nBuy Tuskegee Airmen merch and support their STEM Scholarship Fund! In case you are unable to make it\, the merch will be available via their online store!\nSee genuine World War II articles and artifacts!\nView displays walking through the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen \nAgenda: \n2:00 PM – Introduction\n2:10 PM – 45-minute presentation\n2:55 PM – 15-minute Q&A\n3:10 PM – Announcements \nAbout The Walking Ghosts of Black History\nThe Walking Ghosts of Black History was first established in Hercules\, California 1989. The conception of this organization began when Leon Watkins was cast as the flag bearer for the national colors with the Massachusetts 54th Regiment in the motion picture “GLORY”. Recognizing Watkins’ true commitment to his ideas and vision\, the film producer\, Freddie Fields\, contributed 20 Civil War uniforms used in the movie to help start THE WALKING GHOSTS OF BLACK HISTORY organization (TWGOBH). \nSince then both founders\, Leon Watkins and Larry Thompson have participated in numerous community events and school lectures.  Participation has included; winning First place in the City of Oakland’s Veteran’s Day parade in 1991 for authenticity\, presentation of a commemorative wreath at the ceremony for the 9th and 10th Cavalry / 24th and 25th Infantry in Honor of National Buffalo Soldiers Day in the City of San Francisco\, July 1992\,  the Home Front Festival / Rosie The Riveter Historic Society – Richmond\, CA.\, Oct 2012 and the 1st annual commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Burning of Darien Festival-Darien\,Ga. June 2013 – just to name a few. \n           Their objectives are to work with historians and community leaders to present to the public documentaries and film showcases about African American  involvement in the US military. This will create a visual and multimedia platform for educational programs along with a living history archive and reenactments held yearly. They strive to have Veterans play an active role in TWGOBH. \nAbout The Tuskegee Airmen Heritage Chapter of Greater Sacramento\nThe Tuskegee Airmen Heritage Chapter is a non-discriminatory\, non-profit corporation whose purpose is to educate the public about the Tuskegee Airmen by providing facts\, statistics\, and personal historical perspectives on their true history and legacy through public outreach including: History Presentations\, their Youth Legacy Program\, and Scholarships. \nThis chapter is part of a larger\, national organization: \nTuskegee Airmen\, Inc. (TAI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit\, incorporated in 1975 by its namesake members\, the\nTuskegee Airmen of World War II. More than 16\,000 African American service men and women participated in\nthe training of aircrew members from 1941 to 1949. The mission of TAI is to preserve the legacy of the original\nTuskegee Airmen and to inspire the next generation of aviation and aerospace professionals by exposing them to\nscience\, technology\, engineering and mathematics.

SUMMARY:Institute for Historical Study: Talk and Tour at the Richmond Museum of History
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, May 19\, 2019 at 2 pm Prof. Oliver B. Pollack will give a talk and a tour of the exhibit: Pioneers to the Present\, The Jews of Richmond and Contra Costa County. \nAn exert from Prof. Pollack: \n“Get involved. That was my mantra when I arrived in Richmond in November 2016. Use the skills and tactics developed during 42 years in Nebraska in the Bay Area. Voila\, two years later ?Pioneers to the Present\, The Jews of Richmond and Contra Costa County? opened at the Richmond Museum of History. How often do you hear it\, I didn?t know there were Jews in Nebraska or Richmond. Jews as an ethnic group\, a religious minority\, as self-identification\, affiliated and non-affiliated\, assimilated\, or melded into the larger amorphous community are everywhere\, especially in urban\, suburban university locales.”

SUMMARY:Richmond?s Illuminating Connection to the Statue of Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Berkeley historian and author Richard Schwartz will tell the story of Jewish actor Maurice B. Curtis\, who used his fortune to light the Statue of Liberty in 1886 when the US Congress didn?t want to spend the money. He is the author of The Man Who Lit Lady Liberty: The Extraordinary Rise and Fall of Actor M.B. Curtis. The book?chronicles the actor?s rise??from overnight success in a groundbreaking play that transcended the stereotypes of Jewish characters of his time to a successful real estate career ? and ultimate ruin. \n \nCurtis was the?manager of the Richmond Opera House\, which was in operation from 1907 to 1918\, and featured well-known performances including Uncle Tom?s Cabin and Girl of the Golden West. His acting career virtually ended when he was accused\, and later acquitted\, of shooting a San Francisco police officer. \nThe event is part of the Pioneers to the Present: Jews of Richmond and Contra Costa?exhibit series. \n
