PBS Series:
Slavery And The Making Of America,
Feb 9 & Feb 16


Coming to PBS on Feb. 9th and the 16th from 9PM to 11PM is the four part
series Slavery And The Making Of America, produced by Dante James, and
narrated by Morgan Freeman. Dante is an incredible filmmaker who has
produced many award wining films among them biographies on Marian Anderson
and A. Philip Randolph. He worked with the late great filmmaker Henry
Hampton at Blackside and was the executive producer of Hampton's last
series This Far By Faith: African American Spiritual Journeys.

Slavery And The Making Of America tells the story of slavery from the point
of view of the enslaved. The series recognizes the strength, humanity and
dignity of the enslaved and redefines them as pro-active
freedom fighters not passive victims.

It is essential to pass this email on to friends and family and encourage
them to watch. If we can create a large audience for this important series
PBS will be forced to produce and air more programs that address the
African-American experience. There are also two web sites for the series
they are

I am convinced that if I had not had a wife with the fortitude, strength and calmness
of Coretta, I could not have stood up amid the ordeals and tensions surrounding the
Montgomery movement. I came to see the real meaning of that rather trite statement:
“A wife can either make or break a husband.” Coretta proved to be that type of wife
with qualities to make a husband when he could have been so easily broken. In the
darkest moments she always brought the light of hope.
– Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

African Women Public Service Fellowship

Wagner announces a call for applications for the African Women Public Service Fellowship, a fellowship program made possible by a donation from the Oprah Winfrey Foundation, which expands the opportunity for African women to prepare for public service in their home countries.

As fellows at NYU Wagner, African women study in one of two graduate programs:
the two-year
Master of Public Administration
or
the one-year
Master of Science in Management of International Public Service Organizations
.

The awards for either program will support tuition, housing, travel to and from the United States and a small stipend to cover books and miscellaneous expenses. Applicants commit to return to their respective home countries at the conclusion of the program with the goal of assuming a leadership position on the continent where they can meaningfully contribute to the challenges currently confronting Africa.




It Takes a Community to Sustain a Museum: Join Us!

February 1, 2006

Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Family,

It’s that time again. On behalf of the Black History Month Membership Drive Committee (BHMMDC) chaired by Judge Craig S. Strong, I would like to invite you to join us in our efforts to increase our Museum membership. This year’s campaign is “Driving Membership to the Max”.

The Kresge Foundation will award a $500,000.00 grant to the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History provided there are 20,000 members by June 30th. Currently the Museum only has 13,000 members. We desperately need you to become a member and join the Museum. The Charles H. Wright Museum is the largest African American History Museum in the United States, and it continues to grow. Each year it hosts visitors from all over the world and since its’ inception, thousands of children and adults have visited to view exhibitions and/or participate in various programs and community events.

The Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History needs you now more than ever to either become one of the new members or renew your membership during Black History Month. Members will receive a unique set of benefits, a tax deduction, along with the personal satisfaction of knowing that your annual membership is helping support the largest African American History museum in the United States to meet its ongoing financial needs. You and your membership are the lifeblood of the Museum.

Please take a minute to view the link www.maah-detroit.org and visit the Museum through its’ website. There are several ways to complete the membership process. You may copy the application to mail to the Museum with your check or money order. Also, there is a link to submit an application electronically, which will transmit directly to the museum. Please indicate # 125 on your application, so that we may keep track of the responses that we get from this mailing. If there is anyone willing to collect memberships for us at your office, church, and community activities, or willing to host committee members to do so, let me know.

Again, we would like to thank you for your continued support, and remember that this is a tax-deductible contribution.

Sincerely,
Lynne Crittendon -
