PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Fall 2018/Winter 2019

Dear Friends,

History Matters has long been New-York Historical’s motto, but if ever there were a time when this motto rang particularly true, it would be our launch this fall of two landmark exhibitions. The first,Black Citizenship in the Age of Jim Crow, takes as its starting point the terrible injustice of the Supreme Court ruling in the Dred Scott case that no black person— free or enslaved—could ever be a U.S. citizen. The exhibition traces the story of African Americans’ struggle for citizenship, including not only the right to enjoy legal protections and privileges but also the right to be accepted and to feel safe. The second exhibition, Harry Potter: A History of Magic, draws on the global phenomenon of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels while dramatizing the historical context indispensable to the books’ success. Both exhibitions underscore the importance of institutions like ours, whose great repositories enable a better understanding of the past as they illuminate the present.

Reflecting these exhibitions’ themes, our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series features discussions of citizenship, race, history, and law, with speakers including Eric Foner, Harold Holzer, U.S. Senator Doug Jones, Martha Jones, Randall Kennedy, Edna Greene Medford, Manisha Sinha, Brent Staples, and Sean Wilentz. The Mathew “Mike” Gladstein Lecture in Biography features New-York Historical Trustee David Blight in conversation with Eddie Glaude Jr. on Frederick Douglass. For Harry Potter, our Schwartz Series features Jim Dale, the narrator and voice of all of the Harry Potter characters in the American audiobooks.

Leadership is another key topic at New-York Historical this fall-winter, with Doris Kearns Goodwin in conversation with David M. Rubenstein; Michael Beschloss in conversation with Lesley Stahl; Joseph Ellis and Stacy Schiff featured in our Sandra and Richard Rippe Lecture on American History; and Distinguished Lehrman Fellow Andrew Roberts speaking on Churchill. New-York Historical Presidential Historian Douglas Brinkley will be in conversation with Peter Baker and John Farrell on Presidents George W. Bush and Richard Nixon, respectively. This season’s Bonnie and Richard Reiss Lectures in Constitutional History and Law will feature Noah Feldman, Samuel Issacharoff, and Jeffrey Toobin discussing James Madison, and Amy Adler and Nadine Strossen with New-York Historical Trustee Akhil Reed Amar on the First Amendment. Professor Amar will also interview Richard Brookhiser on John Marshall in this season’s Ann and Andrew Tisch Supreme Court Lecture. Our Petraeus/Hertog Lecture on Leadership will feature Brett McGurk, in conversation with David Petraeus, on the global fight against ISIS, and Harold Holzer will reflect on Lincoln’s legacy in this winter’s President Bill Clinton Lecture in American History.

th Cover (detail) and p. 2: Our fall-winter season also brings a celebration of American icon Billie Jean King’s 75 John James Audubon, birthday, with a new exhibition drawn from our Billie Jean King Archive that shows how, over Snowy Owl (Bubo her long career, Ms. King leveraged her role as a public figure and no. 1-ranked tennis player scandiacus), Study for to champion human rights, challenge discrimination, and fight for equality on a global stage.
