SUMMARY:Stories of Our LBGTQ Ancestors: Dr. Amber Starbuck\, Mabel Stevens\, and the Big House.
DESCRIPTION:From the late 1920s through the late 1960s\, the economy of Middlefield\, Massachusetts revolved around an innovative health resort owned and run by a power couple of two women\, Dr. Amber Starbuck (a medical doctor) and Mabel Stevens (one of the first female taxi drivers). Both women were trailblazers and nonconformists. The lesbian relationship they had was publicly known and respected. This is the story of their lives separately and together\, their involvement with the YWCA and early feminist programs\, and how they came to run the highly successful Big House. 90-minute slide presentation plus a Q and A. \nThis series of three talks taking place this summer is based on original research conducted by the Sexual Minorities Archives about pre-Stonewall LGBTQ figures who lived and worked in western Massachusetts. \nPresented by Sam Edwards

SUMMARY:Noche De San Juan 2022
DESCRIPTION:What is Noche de San Juan? Puerto Ricans all over the world celebrate la Noche de San Juan – an eve of a feast for Saint John\, the Baptist’s birth. Unlike other festivities around the world\, in Puerto Rico\, this celebration -which occurs two days before the summer solstice- marks a holiday spent at the beach. The tradition goes that at the stroke of midnight\, people take at least three backward plunges – though some do seven or 12 dives\, to rid life of all negativities. In Holyoke\, we host a Festival with water activities for all ages to do a similar feel of the tradition. There will also be a car show for those who would like to participate reach out to Kayla Info@nuevaofholyoke.org

SUMMARY:Dressing Independence: The Creation of American Military Dress with Dr. Matthew Keagle of Fort Ticonderoga. An Online Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual\, and visual\, exploration of the origins of American military uniforms. From colonies to republic\, Americans used military clothing to do more than just identify soldiers and keep them warm. Military uniforms reinforced the legitimacy of American independence and create a sense of national identity. This journey was not straightforward and was impacted by America’s political and cultural diversity\, the fortunes of war\, and the struggling economy of the young nation. Dr. Keagle is the Curator of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum\, one of North America’s largest collections of early modern military material culture.  Since joining Fort Ticonderoga in 2014 he has been involved developing exhibits\, conducting research\, delivering programs\, and advancing our understanding of the 18th-century military experience. He has researched and lectured at archives and collections across the US\, Canada\, and Europe\, with a particular research focus on military dress in the 18th century.\nThis is a virtual presentation and pre-registration is required to receive the online invitation.

Turner held gatherings of young Black Americans at Mrs. Atkins house\, inviting them up from the South to find opportunities in New England. This is a one-hour slide presentation plus a Q and A. \nBen Power Alwin (he/him)\, Founder and Executive Director of the Sexual Minorities Educational Foundation (SMEF)\, Inc. has been the Curator of the Sexual Minorities Archives (SMA) since 1977. \nThese lectures and events are funded by a Holyoke Local Cultural Council grant.
