SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – Citizen Science in the Chesapeake on the Eve of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Beginning with the first European settlement at Jamestown\, Virginia\, in 1607\, until the 1775 battles at Lexington and Concord\, Massachusetts\, the Chesapeake region inspired interest among soldiers\, merchants\, and gentleman scholars in the Old World. Self-trained\, amateur scientists like Thomas Jefferson fed that interest by committing their observations to paper. They sent letters and samples to correspondents in the Old World\, most of whom held university degrees\, at a time when education focused on classical literature and philosophy\, theology\, and the law. \nThese early Chesapeake scholars—whether roaming the countryside or making observations in their own gardens—are the intellectual ancestors of today’s citizen scientists\, amateurs of all ages and backgrounds engaged in the advancement of knowledge through observation\, measurement\, analysis\, and reporting of the world around them. This presentation explores that history from the vantage of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center’s Citizen Science in Archaeology program\, participation in which is open to you. \nThe Historic Annapolis Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. If you enjoy this program\, we hope you will consider becoming a member or making a donation today to support Historic Annapolis and our mission to connect all people with our shared history.  \nCan’t watch live? All lectures will be recorded. Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event. \nAdvance registration required; registration closes on half-hour prior to lecture.  \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:The Temple of Our Survival: Alisha B. Wormsley Installation\, Performance & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:As the nation marks 250 years since its founding\, we are called to ask: whose survival made this nation possible? Join artist Alisha B. Wormsley for a special activation of The Temple of Our Survival (Children of NAN: A Survival Guide)—a mobile cinematic altar and gathering space dedicated to Black femme survival\, care\, and reMatriation. Presented in collaboration with artist Tsedaye Makonnen and harpist Megan-Joie Coleman\, this immersive event brings together ritual\, sound\, and collective storytelling as an act of historical reckoning and remembrance. \nThe program will feature a live ritual performance honoring Black femme survival\, including a guided group dreaming meditation and opportunities for audience members to participate by reading their own survival stories alongside those of historical Black femmes from Maryland and beyond — centering voices that the official record of nationhood too often left out. \nThe event will conclude with a panel conversation on the project and the ongoing practices of Black femme survival\, moderated by curator Martina Dodd\, exploring what it means to commemorate 250 years through the lens of those who were never meant to survive it — and did.
