Guest Lecture: Abayudaya: The Music and Culture of the Jewish People of
Uganda

Wednesday, February 7

7pm

$15/$12 Maltz Museum members

The Abayudaya, a community of 600 people in a remote area of eastern
Uganda, converted to Judaism more than 80 years ago. Their story
challenges stereotypes of race, religion and culture. Having endured
adversity in order to practice Judaism, their joyous musical celebration
is a testament to faith and hope. This multi-media presentation focuses
on their musical traditions, a unique blend of African rhythms and
traditional Hebrew prayer. Presenting lecturer, Rabbi Jeffrey Summit,
acclaimed ethnomusicologist has worked among the Abayudaya for the past
five years and produced the Grammy-nominated CD Abayudaya: Music from
the Jewish People of Uganda. He serves as Executive Director of the
Hillel Foundation and Associate Professor of Music at Tufts University.=20

Film: From Swastika to Jim Crow with A. Grace Lee Mims

Wednesday, February21

7pm

$10/$8 Maltz Museum members

In the 1930s Jewish intellectuals who escaped Nazi Germany and
immigrated to the U.S. faced an uncertain future. Confronted with
anti-Semitism at American universities, may sought refuge in an unlikely
place-traditionally black colleges in the segregated South. This
provocative documentary tells the little-know story of two very
different cultures sharing a common burden of oppression. A. Grace Lee
Mims, a graduate of Hampton University and host of WCLV's distinguished
"Black Arts" and "ArtsLog" programs will introduce the film and lead a
post-viewing discussion.=20
