A similar project was recently completed on the adjacent American Legion Road. Design of the project will continue into 2026. Private utility relocations will likely start in 2026 with construction planned for 2027 and 2028.

Thu, 05 Dec 2024 10:00:00 GMT

Filled with fascinating people and histories, The Address Book illuminates the often hidden stories behind street addresses and their power to decide who counts, who doesn't -- and why.

Deirdre Mask graduated from Harvard College summa cum laude, and attended University of Oxford before returning to Harvard for law school, where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. She completed a master's in writing at the National University of Ireland.

The author of The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power, Deirdre's writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Guardian.

Sikowis Nobiss (she/her) is Plains Cree/Saulteaux of the George Gordon First Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada and grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. At 19 she began her life's work of uplifting Indigenous rights and voices. This led her to co-found Little Creek Camp in February 2017, which transformed into Indigenous Iowa (later renamed Great Plains Action Society). From August 2017 to September 2020, she helped found the national influencer organization Seeding Sovereignty from the ground up. As her heart is with her people and the prairies, Sikowis returned to Great Plains Action Society where she can work at a grassroots level and a fully Indigenous-led organization.

The Indian Caste System in the US: A Cross-Cultural Exploration

Thu, 16 May 2024 10:00:00 GMT

In 2023, amidst significant controversy, Seattle and Fresno made history by enacting the first U.S. laws against caste discrimination. This development coincides with the Indian American population's 150% growth since 2000, the largest and fastest-growing Asian American group. Grasping the caste system's deep roots in Indian society is vital, as it influences the wider South Asian community. Perceptions of the impact of caste can lead to internal divisions, affecting workplace environments and community unity. This session on May 16 is essential for those engaging with these communities to gain insights into navigating these complex cultural dynamics.

This presentation is sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights and is part of the Office's monthly Lens Webinar Series.

Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 10:00:00 GMT

The Office of Equity and Human Rights hosted educator and author Bill Bigelow on January 25, 2024.

Too many children still learn that "Columbus discovered America." But that myth teaches harmful lessons -- not only about Columbus and the Taino people who Columbus encountered, but about whose lives matter in the school curriculum, whose voices count, and whose don't. In this presentation, Bigelow examines children's literature on Columbus's voyages to the Americas to explore the "secret education" that young people absorb. He also will share how we can help young people think more critically and thoughtfully about history - and our world today.

Bill Bigelow is curriculum editor of Rethinking Schools magazine and co-director of the Zinn Education Project. He is the author or co-editor of many Rethinking Schools publications, including A People's History for the Classroom, The Line Between Us: Teaching About the Border and Mexican Immigration, Rethinking Globalization: Teaching for Justice in an Unjust World, Rethinking Our Classrooms - Volumes 1 and 2, Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years, and A People's Curriculum for the Earth: Teaching Climate Change and the Environmental Crisis. Bigelow lives in Portland, Oregon.

This presentation is sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights and is part of the Office's monthly Lens Webinar Series.

Beyond the Land Acknowledgement: Higher Education, the Occupation of Native Nations, and 'Land Back'

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 10:00:00 GMT

The Office of Equity and Human Rights hosted educator Megan Red Shirt-Shaw on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023.

Red Shirt-Shaw discusses how land acknowledgements have become a powerful introduction to convocations, graduations, meetings, and conferences in higher education, but that institutions must challenge themselves to move away from encouraging acts that are just performative into commitments of transformative change.

Red Shirt-Shaw is an educator, writer, and researcher in higher education. Passionate about Indigenous rights issues, college admissions, and a greater Native presence in media and higher education, Red Shirt-Shaw believes in empowering young people to use their voices for the issues they care about in their communities. Her writings have also been featured on Huffington Post, ThinkProgress, Racialicious, Model View Culture, and Last Real Indians.

This presentation is sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights and is part of the Office's monthly Lens Webinar Series.

ADA:33 - A Celebration of Rights and Responsibilities

Wed, 26 Jul 2023 10:00:00 GMT

Reyma McCoy Hyten discusses how, historically, access to initiatives intended to center people with disabilities has unintentionally created disparities for multiply-marginalized members of the disability community. The program offers an opportunity to discuss how access to necessities like food, housing, healthcare, and transportation are impacted by the degree of underrepresentation an individual experiences and explore systems-based solutions that can create a more inclusive society.

Reyma McCoy Hyten, the first Black woman to serve as the US Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner for the Administration on Disabilities, is now devoting her full time and attention to supporting the creation of just, verdant, and sustainable communities for all in the United States and beyond. McCoy Hyten was an Antibigotry Convening Fellow with the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University and is a past recipient of a 2019 AT&T Humanity of Connection award. Her work has been featured in Vice, TIME, The Guardian, and USA Today.

McCoy Hyten lives at MisFit Farm, an organic garden and sanctuary for unwanted creatures in rural Kansas, with her wife, Ami; their daughter, numerous cats, waterfowl, and a deafblind albino Great Dane named Rufus.

The Rich History of Emancipation Day Celebrations in Iowa

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 10:00:00 GMT

Juneteenth became a recognized holiday in Iowa 21 years ago, when Iowa became the seventh state to officially recognize June 19, 1865, as the date the enslaved people of Galveston, Texas, finally learned that slavery had ended. While Americans have rallied around Juneteenth as a fitting and important date to commemorate the end of slavery, Black Iowans have celebrated and commemorated the end of slavery for at least 166 years.

Dr. Leslie Schwalm talks about the beginnings of Black Emancipation Day celebrations in Iowa, and explores with the audience how and why Emancipation Day was so important to Iowa's Black communities, especially in the nineteenth century.

Schwalm is a historian of Civil War America and Professor Emeritus of History and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa. Schwalm writes and lectures on how the wartime destruction of slavery shaped the lives of Black and white Americans, North and South. Schwalm is the author of " A Hard Fight For We: Women's Transition from Slavery to Freedom in South Carolina." (2006 Willie Lee Rose Book Award from the Southern Association of Women's Historians.) Chosen for inclusion in The History E-Book Project of the American Council of Learned Societies, "Emancipation's Diaspora: The Politics of Race and Reconstruction in the Upper Midwest" (2010 Benjamin Shambaugh Book Prize from the Iowa State Historical Society), and more recently "Medicine, Science, and Making Race in Civil War America".

This presentation is part of the Lens series, sponsored by the City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights.

Panache Before the Shoah: The Effect of Jewish 1930s Refugees on Iowa City's Progressivism

Mon, 08 May 2023 10:00:00 GMT

In this webinar, Dr. Jeannette Gabriel examines the immediate and long term impacts of a small, but influential, wave of Jewish refugees into the Iowa City area in the 1930s. The webinar uncovers marginalized history concerning activities in the Iowa City area to resettle a group of young people, intellectuals, and political leaders fleeing Germany and Austria. Iowa City became a hub of refugee resettlement, from Jewish residents filing affidavits to extricate relatives to Quakers establishing a refugee compound. Some of the refugees quickly moved on to larger cities, while others became integrated in the community.

Gabriel is the Director of the Schwalb Center for Israel and Jewish Studies at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Gabriel's work examines historical interactions between marginalized communities throughout the global hinterlands, including examining pre- and post-WWII Jewish refugee resettlement in small towns throughout the Midwest. Gabriel received her PhD in Social Studies Education from the University of Iowa, a Masters in Labor and Employment Relations from Rutgers, and a BA in History from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Book Talk - Water Tossing Boulders

Wed, 03 May 2023 10:00:00 GMT

The City of Iowa City's Office of Equity and Human Rights and the Iowa City Public Library partnered to host Book Talk: "Water Tossing Boulders" with author Adrienne Berard via Zoom.

A generation before Brown v. Board of Education struck down America's "separate but equal" doctrine, one Chinese family and an eccentric Mississippi lawyer fought for school desegregation. Why isn't what historian James Loewen called "the most racist Supreme Court decision in the twentieth century" better known? "Because we lost," says a descendent of the plaintiff. Unearthing one of the greatest stories never told, journalist Adrienne Berard recounts how the Lum family fought for the right to educate Chinese Americans in the white schools of the Jim Crow South. Using their groundbreaking lawsuit as a compass, Berard depicts the complicated condition of racial otherness in rural Southern society. Through extensive research in historical documents and family correspondence, Berard illuminates a vital, forgotten chapter of America's past and uncovers the powerful journey of an oppressed people in their struggle for equality.

Adrienne Berard is an award-winning journalist and graduate of Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism. She began her career as a beat reporter for her hometown paper in Western Massachusetts and went on to work in magazines, television, and digital media. She is currently a senior research writer at Penn State University, has served as the assistant director for research, news, and analytics at William & Mary, and was a visiting professor at Delta State University in Mississippi.
