Happy and Thankful

"One of the most unexpected gifts you can receive is an early loss.

Missing out on a job you really wanted.
Trying a business idea that fails.
Suffering a heartbreak.
An early setback can become the catalyst for a wonderful next chapter—if you channel the emotion effectively.

Disappointment is a hot burning fuel. Let it light your fire to become better.

"You won't always get what you strive for, but you will definitely get what you settle for. You won't magically outperform your standards."

The Next Generation Advisory Committee (NextGen) of the Arkansas Humanities Council announces two new programming series, Crafting Arkansas and the NextGen Lecture Series.

Crafting Arkansas: Canning and Home Demonstration Clubs as Hubs for Black Women’s Activism in Rural Arkansas is a virtual program scheduled for April 20 at 6 p.m. The Arkansas Humanities Council’s Next Generation Advisory Committee, in partnership with the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Research and Extension presents Dr. Cherisse Jones-Branch discussing the influence of home demonstration activities on Black rural communities and Black women’s activism in the twentieth century. Dr. Jones-Branch is the Graduate School Dean and the Vaughn Endowed Professor of History at Arkansas State University. Additionally, Ouachita District Food Preservation expert, Michelle Carter, will show a ten-minute pre-recorded video in which she demonstrates the process of canning and preserving meat products. Registration is required at the event link on the Arkansas Humanities Council website.

The first in the series of two lectures, folklorist and oral historian Meredith Martin-Moats presents Folklore as the Art of Every Day Living and Action on April 22 at 6 p.m. Martin-Moats will explore Zora Neale Hurston’s definition of folklore as “the boiled down juice of everyday living.” She’ll touch on some of Arkansas’s own deep folklore roots, how understanding the nuances of folklore allows us to cross generations (both past and future) and make decisions about our own lives and community that centers on a better future. Registration is required at the event link on the Arkansas Humanities Council website. https://arkansashumanitiescouncil.org/events/

The second lecture in the series, Nelson Hackett’s Flight from Slavery and Arkansas, explores Nelson Hackett’s 1841 escape from slavery in Fayetteville. Dr. Michael Pierce, Associate Professor of History at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, will explain how Hackett’s experiences set into motion events that ensured Canada remained a refuge for those people fleeing slavery in the United States. The April 29 Zoom lecture begins at 6 p.m.
