SUMMARY:Book Club: "The Life and Adventures of a Haunted Convict" by Austin Reed
DESCRIPTION:Join OHA’s book club on June 11th to discuss “The Life and Adventures of a Haunted Convict” by Austin Reed\, with forward by David W. Blight and Robert B. Stepto. This book is described as “The earliest known prison memoir by an African American writer—recently discovered and authenticated by a team of Yale scholars—sheds light on the longstanding connection between race and incarceration in America.” Austin Reed was a prisoner at Auburn State Prison in the mid-19th century. \nHow was this memoir discovered? \nAccording to NPR\, “At an estate sale in Rochester\, N.Y.\, in 2009\, a rare book seller came upon a curious literary artifact. As it turned out\, it was a memoir written in the 1850s by Austin Reed\, a black man who spent most of his life in prison…When Reed’s memoir found its way to Yale University\, librarians and scholars were eager to get a look at it. Robert Stepto\, a professor of African-American studies\, has spent a lifetime studying slave narratives.”

His book is entertaining\, informative\, and essential if one is to know who we are.”—Doug George-Kanentiio\, Akwesasne Mohawk and author of Iroquois on Fire \n“Chief Irving Powless Jr. is one of the most eloquent and earth-based speakers I have ever known.

SUMMARY:Ward Wellington Ward in Rochester\, New York
DESCRIPTION:Ward Wellington Ward (1875-1932) was the quintessential Arts and Crafts architect. His designs reflect the popular architectural styles of the time\, but always with exquisite attention to detail and the use of the finest materials and craftsmen available. Ward practiced architecture in Syracuse\, NY for only 18 years (1908 to 1926). While two-thirds of the more than 280 houses which he designed during that period are found in the Syracuse area\, a surprising number (38-45) were for locations in Rochester\, NY and its suburbs of Brighton and Pittsford and Irondequoit. These homes still beautifully impact their locations today. Most of his designs are well documented\, thanks to art historian Cleota Reed\, but some designs have recently been “discovered” and several of his later Rochester commissions remain mysteries. The Rochester Ward Project is seeking to clear up these questions and see Ward’s Rochester treasures become part of the National Register of Historic Places. Presenter Arlene Wright Vanderlinde\, ASID\, CID\, is a graduate of Syracuse University and has practiced interior design for over four decades. She is principal in the firm of Wright Design Associates. Her specialty is residential\, commercial and institutional structures that are considered historic. Ms. Vanderlinde is now “partially” retired so she can pursue her passions of historical research and writing. \nThis event is presented by the Arts and Crafts Society of Central New York.

SUMMARY:Book Club: "The Invention of Wings: A Novel" by Sue Monk Kidd
DESCRIPTION:Join OHA’s book club on May 7th to discuss “The Invention of Wings: A Novel” by Sue Monk Kidd. According to NPR‘s Bobbi Dumas\, “the book is the fictionalized history of the Grimké sisters\, Sarah and Angelina (Nina)\, who were at the forefront of the abolitionist and women’s rights movements\, wound around the intriguing narrative of a young slave\, Hetty\, who was given to Sarah as an 11th birthday present. Sarah despises slavery\, even at that early age\, and out of principle attempts to reject the gift…The novel is a textured masterpiece\, quietly yet powerfully poking our consciences and our consciousness. What does it mean to be a sister\, a friend\, a woman\, an outcast\, a slave? How do we use our talents to better ourselves and our world? How do we give voice to our power\, or learn to empower our voice?”

It is scheduled to be completed this June and reopen as the Marriott Syracuse Downtown. \nWhen it opened in 1924\, the Hotel Syracuse was state-of-the-art and ran like a city within a city\, housing a variety of restaurants shops\, meeting rooms and services. Behind elegant walls and beneath marble floors\, hundreds of employees staffed repair shops\, huge kitchens and a maze of support spaces. The hotel’s Grand Ballroom\, Persian Terrace\, Rainbow Lounge and Cavalier Restaurant were among the city’s showplaces.  For 80 years\, the hotel hosted a wide variety of events that were woven throughout the social\, political\, and economic life of almost all Central New Yorkers . . . the true definition of a community landmark.
