SUMMARY:Shakers and The Birth of a Nation
DESCRIPTION:It was 1915 and the entire country was fascinated by DW Griffith’s film\, The Birth of a Nation\, including the Shakers. The Birth of a Nation was controversial due to its racist content but the Albany Shakers were dazzled by the astounding technical innovations used by Griffith. \nIn this discussion\, SHS Executive Director\, Starlyn D’Angelo will explore the contradictions between Shaker values\, their involvement in the Underground Railroad\, and their enthusiastic trip to the movies in 1915. \nSuggested donation $5 per person \n  \nCategory: Lectures

SUMMARY:“Heaven’s Ditch:” An Evening with Jack Kelly
DESCRIPTION:The Erie Canal was one of the most impressive engineering feats in American history. It connected the Atlantic Ocean to the Midwest\, not only economically\, but spiritually as well. \nIt has been referred to as a “psychic highway\,” providing a means for the exchange of ideas. The suffrage and abolitionist movements were bolstered by this new connection. New religions were founded and an entire population was waiting to be converted. \nJoin author and historian Jack Kelly for a discussion and book signing of his newest book\, Heaven’s Ditch: God\, Gold\, and Murder on the Erie Canal. Books will be available for purchase at the event. Please visit Jack Kelly’s website. \n$5 per person
