SUMMARY:Book signing with Ben Passmore
DESCRIPTION:Ben Passmore is the author of the ongoing comic book series Daygloayhole\, as well as the Eisner Award-nominated and Ignatz Award-winning comic collection Your Black Friend. His newest book\, Black Arms To Hold You Up: A History of Black Resistance was a New York Times Best Graphic Novel of the year. Join us to meet Ben Passmore and get a copy of once of his books signed on Saturday February 28th from 1-3pm. \nAbout the book \nIt’s the summer of 2020\, and downtown Philly is up in flames. “You’re not out in the streets with everyone else?” Ronnie asks his ambivalent son\, Ben\, shambling in with arms full of used books: the works of Malcom X\, Robert F. Williams\, Assata and Sanyika Shakur\, among others. “Black liberation is your fight\, too.” \nSo begins Black Arms to Hold You Up\, a boisterous\, darkly funny\, and sobering march through Black militant history by political cartoonist Ben Passmore. From Robert Charles’s shootout with the police in 1900\, to the Black Power movement in the 1960s\, to the Los Angeles and George Floyd uprisings of the 1990s and 2020\, readers will tumble through more than a century of armed resistance against the racist state alongside Ben—and meet firsthand the mothers and fathers of the movement\, whose stories were as tragic as they were heroic. \nWhat\, after so many decades lost to state violence\, is there left to fight for? Deeply researched\, vibrantly drawn\, and bracingly introspective\, Black Arms to Hold You Up dares to find the answer.

SUMMARY:Turning the Power: Indian Boarding Schools\, Native American Anthropologists\, and the Race to Preserve Indigenous Cultures
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Lunch at the Library presentation from Nathan Sowry who will be discussing his new book: Turning the Power: Indian Boarding Schools\, Native American Anthropologists\, and the Race to Preserve Indigenous Cultures.  \nIn Turning the Power Nathan Sowry examines how some Native American students from the boarding school system\, with its forced assimilationist education\, became key cultural informants for anthropologists conducting fieldwork during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Salvage anthropologists of this era relied on Native informants to accomplish their mission of “saving” Native American cultures and ultimately turned many informants into anthropologists after years of fieldwork experience. \nSowry investigates ten relatively unknown Native American anthropologists and collaborators who\, from 1878 to 1930\, attended a religiously affiliated mission school\, a federal Indian boarding school\, or both. He tells the stories of Native anthropologists Tichkematse\, William Jones\, and James R. Murie\, who were alumni of the Hampton Institute in Virginia. Richard Davis and Cleaver Warden were among the first and second classes to attend the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. Amos Oneroad graduated from the Haskell Indian Industrial Training School in Lawrence\, Kansas\, after attending mission and boarding schools in South Dakota. D. C. Duvall\, John V. Satterlee\, and Florence and Louis Shotridge attended smaller boarding and mission schools in Montana\, Wisconsin\, and Alaska Territory\, respectively. \nTurning the Power follows the forced indoctrination of Native American students and then details how each of them “turned the power\,” using their English knowledge and work experience in the anthropological field to embrace\, document\, and preserve their Native cultures rather than abandoning their heritage.

This event will take place virtually.\nSandler is Professor and Head of Ceramics at Tyler School of Art\, Temple University.\nSandler’s latest exhibition\, The Shape We Hold\, is an inquiry into the ways we are shaped\, and the ways we shape our world.

SUMMARY:Community First Plan Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:This in-person community focus group is part of Friends of the Rail Park’s Community First Plan\, an effort to understand how the Rail Park can grow in ways that reflect its values and responsibilities to the neighborhoods it runs through. These conversations help guide how we approach growth with care and accountability while exploring how we can amplify work being done within our communities and what connections we can make to further their causes.\n\n\n\nThe discussion will explore how the Rail Park can support economic opportunity\, housing\, culture\, and the environment\, centering the experiences and priorities of people who live and work nearby. \nA project of this scale should not grow or change without the voices of the communities it runs through and alongside. The Community First Plan places those voices at the center to help ensure the Rail Park benefits neighborhoods in meaningful\, tangible ways. \nAll participants will receive a Visa gift card. Food and childcare will be provided. \nIf you need any accommodations including translation or food options\, please email us at friends@therailpark.org.

SUMMARY:HARPIST GLORIA GALANTE IN COLLINGSWOOD
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Suzzette Ortiz proudly hosts “Jazz in the Wood\,” \nPlease join us on Thursday\, March 5th\, 2026\, as we welcome \nharpist Gloria Galante and her group. \nat the \nCollingswood Community Center\, \n30 Collings Ave\, Collingswood\, NJ 08108. \nDoors at 7pm. The concert starts at 7:30 pm and ends at 9:00 pm. \nTickets: $15 in advance\, $20 at the door. Students are FREE! \n  \nAbout Gloria Galante: \nVersatile and dynamic as a performer\, deeply committed to teaching community and using the harp as an instrument of healing\, Gloria Galante is inspiring. \nWho first inspired Gloria Galante to play Jazz was her piano teacher\, Miss Alice Shinn (from the University of the Arts). She would teach Gloria to play classical pieces from Bach\, Mozart\, Beethoven. She introduced her to Fats Waller\, Pine Top Smith and Scott Joplin. She loved plying those pieces. Miss Shinn bargained with her to first learn a classical piece to perfection then was awarded with a jazz piece Gloria signed up for the high school Symphonic Orchestra two weeks before classes began. The teacher stated the available instruments were the Trombone\, Tuba\, or Harp. Gloria started harp lessons at Cardinal Dougherty High School. The school owned a beautiful Lyon and Healy Harp Style 17 in natural wood with ornate carvings and a gold decal on the soundboard. Gloria transferred her jazz pieces on the harp when time permitted. \nGloria signed up for the jazz jam at the Blue Note on Limekiln Pike in 1986 hosted by Bob Perkins. When it was her turn to play with the band consisting of Tyrone Brown\, Bass\, Jim Miller\, Drums\, Duke Wilson \,Percussion and Jeannie Brooks\, vocals it turned into a whole set. Gloria joined Tyrone Browns group called Kusangala and her jazz career began in Philadelphia. \nGloria has toured worldwide performing Jazz\, Classical\, Latin\, African ad Pop genres. She has appeared with such great stars as Frank Sinatra\, Diana Ross\, Jose Feliciano\, Luther Vandross\, Odean Pope\, Tyrone Brown\, Cecil Bridgewater\, Warren Oree\, Monnette Sudler to name a few.
