SUMMARY:20s and 30s Schuylkill canal and river paddle social
DESCRIPTION:Beat the heat and connect with new friends kayaking 5 miles on this paddling excursion. Our trip is suitable for beginners and fun for experienced paddlers. We will meet at Fitzwater Station (Fitz)\, which includes an outdoor restaurant /bar and Port Providence Canoe and Kayak Rentals at 10 AM. After everyone has their gear we will have a short safety talk and we will than paddle up the canal where you may see turtles catching the sun\, local fishermen and other paddlers enjoying the day. After about 2 miles we will arrive at lock 60\, the terminus of the canal\, we will portage(carry) our boats a few hundred feet to the Schuylkill River for our return trip to our take out. We may find a swimming spot to stop at so a bathing suit is a good base layer choice. \nRental costs for boats\, paddle & PFD: Kayak $44\, tandem kayak $55\, tandem canoe $50. The AMC will kick in $20 toward rental costs for the first 10 people who sign up for the trip! Of course you can bring your own boat and gear for this trip with no fee involved. We will send more details and a suggested list of what to bring and wear to those who register. When the trip wraps and we return our equipment\, all are invited to continue the fun with a beer and a wide variety of good food on the deck of the Fitz. You can enjoy music\, a view of the canal and more fun with fellow kayakers. \nThe AMC prioritizes safety\, and so all participants must wear a life jacket while on the water. AMC is very safety conscious and so no flip flops will be allowed\, water shoes\, old sneakers are fine. You will also be asked to sign a trip waiver form. Seriously bad weather will cancel the trip. Check Meet Up 2 hours beforehand if the weather is questionable. \nPlease note: In order to comply with Pennsylvania Youth Protection Laws\, all children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.

SUMMARY:Return of the Freedom Library
DESCRIPTION:Jubilee students present their version of the Freedom Library honoring Dr. John Churchville\n\n\nScribe Video Center in partnership with Jubilee School Students present “Return of the Freedom Library\,” a pop-up library and celebration of Black history and literature. \n__________________________________________________________________________________________ \nABOUT THE PROJECT: \nIn 1964\, John Churchville\, inspired by the work of Malcolm X\, created the Freedom Library. Its purpose was to expose his North Philadelphia community to the under-told stories of Black history and literature. \nOn July 25th\, Jubilee students in grades 4th and 5th grades will present their version of the Freedom Library in order to honor the legacy of the original library and its founder\, Dr. John Churchville. The event will take place in a large tent outside the Wagner Institute of Science\, not far from where the original Freedom Library was. Bookshelves will be filled with books telling stories of people of color from Philadelphia and around the world. Most of the books were written\, illustrated and published by Jubilee students through their student-created publishing company\, Jubilee Voices Publishing House. \nThe main speaker at the event will be Dr. John Churchville\, who will speak about the process of creating the Freedom Library\, how it evolved into a school\, and how it eventually gave birth to a powerful coalition of North Philadelphia community members called the Black People’s Unity Movement. Through poetry and artwork\, Jubilee students will honor members of the BPUM who are no longer with us and will pay tribute to them through a ceremony of libations. \nOther activities throughout the day will include story time for children\, a time for playing Black history games\, and a dance performed by Jubilee students. A highlight will be a performance by the jazz musician Alfie Pollit. \n__________________________________________________________________________________________ \nEvent Flow: \n11:00AM Welcome; exploring the library \n11:30AM Introductions; announcement of schedule; short talk about why students are \ncelebrating the original Freedom Library \n12:00PM Talk about history of Freedom Library and Black People’s Unity Movement \nby John Churchville \n12:30PM Students honor members of BPUM who have died with poetry and art \n1:00PM Story time\, Black history games\, refreshments \n2:00PM Poetry \n2:30PM Afro-Brazilian Drumming by Jubilee students \n3:00PM Performance by jazz musician Alfie Pollitt \n__________________________________________________________________________________________ \nABOUT THE CULTURAL WORKERS: \nThe Jubilee School is a learning community providing students with the opportunity to gain knowledge of the riches of their legacy through scholarship\, the arts and the celebration of their African American heritage.
