SUMMARY:Historic Stagville Tour - November 2023
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a tour of Historic Stagville\, a state historic site in northern Durham County that includes remnants of one of the largest plantations in North Carolina.

Stagville protects a fraction of the land from that plantation\, including original housing for enslaved people (1851)\, a massive barn (1860)\, and a Bennehan family house (1787-1799). Stagville is dedicated to teaching about the lives and work of enslaved people on the plantation. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to join Stagville staff and other community members in learning more about Historic Stagville. The tour will begin at 10:00. Please allow sufficient time for the drive there.\n\nLocation: 5828 Old Oxford\, Highway\, Durham\, NC\n\nCost: $10/person.

SUMMARY:Ministry of Black Women's Self Care\, November\, 2023 - with Kim Gaubault (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Kim Gaubault recognizes that self-care is often the component that remains a form of intervention (after the break or the medical emergency) rather than a preventative measure. When we allow our bodies\, minds and/or spirits to break down in the course of doing this work\, we are not only putting ourselves at risk but we are putting at risk the integrity of the work for which we are laboring. This work is a work of self-love\, communal love\, Womanist Ethicism\, it is multi-generational\, multicultural and is not finite\, but is instead as infinite as the beauty in the divinity that is Blackness. Come and share in this life’s work! This program is specifically designed to offer practical tools for everyday self-care to Black women-identified individuals doing all forms of ministry\, in church and community. \nNovember:What I Heard About My Hair (Part 2)\nDecember: Just for Today: Honoring All of Me in the Here and Now \nLeader: Kimberly Gaubault (McCrae) is an intentional lover of humanity and actively lives the self-care life about which she teaches and advocates. Her personal philosophy of interpersonal interaction is\, “If I’ve not positively influenced someone everywhere I’ve gone\, I’ve not walked in my purpose.” \nCost: $10\, $25\, or $40 \nper session. Choose the price that fits your budget. \nRegister for November below. \nRegister for December: HERE. \nRegistrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.

Please email info@rcwms.org to get on the waiting list. \nJoin us at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Durham for a screening of The Philadelphia Eleven!\, a story about faith and inclusivity\, and the women who transformed an age-old institution. \nIn defiance of church rules and two millennia of patriarchal Christianity\, in 1974 a group of women and their supporters organized their ordination to become Episcopal priests. The ordinations took place at the Church of the Advocate in Philadelphia and became a media frenzy. In this film\, you will meet the women who succeeded in transforming The Episcopal Church. \nWe’ll be joined at the screening by The Rev. Dr. Carter Heyward and The Rev. Canon Marie Moorefield Fleischer\, members of the Philadelphia Eleven. They plan to share remarks after the screening.\n  \nWe will gather at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church\, 403 E Main St in Durham. The screening will be held in the Parish Hall. Enter the Parish Hall through the doors that are located across from the Queen Street parking deck\, on the west side of the church. Those with limited mobility may park in the church lot\, whose entrance is off Main St. Plan to come down the ramp at the back corner of the lot\, through the Columbarium and enter the Parish Hall through the door straight ahead. All others should plan to park in the Queen St. deck. \nSponsors: RCWMS\, Saint Philip’s Episcopal Church\, Pauli Murray Center & Episcopal Diocese of NC. \nWatch the Trailer here! \nCost: Free.

SUMMARY:Writing the Body with Shawna Ayoub (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Writing with Shawna Ayoub has been life-changing. I have taken several classes with her\, both in-person and online\, all focused on memoir. Under her visionary tutelage\, I have created the most profound writing of my life. Her feedback is insightful\, honest\, and constructive.  I live with chronic illness\, and Shawna always meets me exactly where I am\, helping me set achievable goals. Collaborating with her has made me a better writer\, but perhaps more importantly\, writing with Shawna has healed me.\n-Jen DeRosa \n\nIt’s a well-researched fact that we store our emotional experiences in our physical bodies. On anniversaries of loss\, for example\, it is common to feel body pain\, heaviness\, or fatigue. In this workshop\, we will practice feeling into our body stories safely in order to capture them in words. As a group\, we will learn about how the body stores memory\, and why\, and take home practices for listening to the stories our bodies want to tell us.  While this course is appropriate for writers at every level and of every genre\, it can also be taken to build off “Writing Great Essays\,” offered April 16th.\nWriters will take home a packet of writing examples  as well as prompts\, and can contact Shawna for written feedback within two weeks of this workshop. \nLeader: Shawna Ayoub is a brown\, queer\, Durham-based writer and instructor whose work prioritizes the engagement of difficult topics. After recognizing the personal benefits of writing for release and recovery\, she has made her practice public for the last 12 years\, offering courses independently as well as through the Center for Creative Writing. Her work has appeared in Verywell Mind\, Survivor Lit\, Exit 7\, [wherever]\, The Archipelago\, and The Manifest-Station. \nCost: $100. Scholarships available. Please contact info@rcwms.org. \nRegister below. Registrants will receive a Zoom link in the automated ticket confirmation.

SUMMARY:Historic Stagville Emancipation Tour June 2023
DESCRIPTION:This guided tour will highlight how enslaved people claimed their freedom at Stagville in 1865. Each June\, Historic Stagville offers special tours focused on Emancipation as part of the site’s commemoration of Juneteenth. The tour explores the detailed history of Emancipation on one of North Carolina’s largest plantations. Hear stories of how formerly enslaved families celebrated\, defended themselves\, and organized\, while the plantation owners strategized to hold on to their power and wealth. \nHistoric Stagville\, a state historic site in northern Durham County\, includes remnants of one of the largest plantations in North Carolina. The Bennehan-Cameron family owned approximately 30\,000 acres of land and enslaved about 900 people on this property. Stagville protects a fraction of the land from that plantation\, including original housing for enslaved people (1851)\, a massive barn (1860)\, and a Bennehan family house (1787–1799). Stagville is dedicated to teaching about the lives and work of enslaved people on the plantation. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to join Stagville staff and other community members in learning more about Emancipation at Historic Stagville. The tour will begin at 10:00 AM. Wear comfortable shoes and bring sunscreen. The tour will be mostly outdoors\, with two short stops at historic buildings. The route includes walking over grass\, gravel\, and uneven ground. \n\nLocation: 5828 Old Oxford\, Highway\, Durham\, NC. \nMeet near the green office building by the parking lot at the back of the Historic Stagville property.  Please allow sufficient time for the drive there.\n\n\nCost: $10/person.

SUMMARY:Kindred Spirits Quilt Show - Durham\, NC
DESCRIPTION:Fanny Lou Hamer. Quilt by Kimberley Pierce Cartwright\nAs part of Kindred Spirits: A Convergence of African American Quilters conference\, we are having a quilt show on June 16\, 6:00-9:00 pm\, during Durham’s Third Friday celebration of Juneteenth. \nThe show’s theme is Deconstructing the Mammy Archetype. The Mammy archetype is a stereotypical portrayal of Black women in American popular culture. It is a caricature of a nurturing\, maternal figure who is often depicted as overweight\, asexual\, and happily serving white people. The Mammy stereotype has been used to justify the enslavement and subjugation of Black women and has been perpetuated through various forms of media. \nModern African American quilt work provides an avenue for deconstructing the Mammy archetype. Quilting has long been a form of creative expression for African American women\, and in recent years\, many Black artists have used the medium to challenge and subvert racist stereotypes. \nBy incorporating imagery and symbolism that directly confront the Mammy archetype\, African American quilt makers are able to reframe the narrative and reclaim their own agency. For example\, some artists have created quilts that depict Black women as strong and independent\, rather than subservient and obedient. Others have used quilting to celebrate the beauty and diversity of Black women’s bodies\, challenging the notion that Black women must conform to Eurocentric beauty standards. \nOverall\, modern African American quilt work offers a powerful means of deconstructing the Mammy archetype and challenging the ways in which Black women have been historically misrepresented in American culture. By using the medium of quilting to tell their own stories and celebrate their own experiences\, Black women are able to reclaim narratives and assert their own agency. \nLocation: The Fruit\, 305 S Dillard St.\, Durham \nCost: Free. All are welcome.

Look for a sign that says Historic Stagville and a gravel driveway with a wooden gate. If you pass Stagville Road on the left\, you’ve gone too far!\n\nCost: $10/person. Additional donations to Stagville are welcome here.\n\nRegister below.
