  • Celebrate Kwanzaa Well, It's December 29Th. We've Run out Of
    Celebrate Kwanzaa Well, it’s December 29th. We’ve run out of Advent Sundays but we aren’t quite to the new year. I wanted to continue the inter-faith kind of theme we’ve had for December so I was guided to Kwanzaa. Technically, Kwanzaa isn’t faith based but it is culture based. So what culture and why do we have Kwanzaa, what does it mean and why should anyone at Unity of Lehigh Valley care about it? You know how I keep talking about how the Universe contributes to my sermons? Well, when the Universe stops contributing, I’ll stop talking about it. I was randomly searching for something to watch on Netflix one night and for some reason clicked on a movie titled, “Holiday in the Wild.” Not filmed in Philadelphia, it was filmed in Zambia. A movie much more about elephant conservation than Christmas, it was really interesting to watch it and notice little things. Like that the film begins with modern cities in Zambia, a modern airport and luxury hotel. Local people were seen with ordinary clothes, although many had the African fabric and men and women often wore more loose fitting than Western styles. The roles of people who worked at the Elephant nursery were treated with respect and African people were seen as intelligent and hard-working and compassionate. Now I want you to reflect on the ways the dominant, white European culture in the United States typically describes what I will call, “original people”. How have you heard Native Americans described? How did whites describe the individuals brought to this country from Africa and forced into slavery? Mostly I think of the word, “savages”.

  • TEAM-Mexico's
    TEAM-Mexico’s Guided Discovery Orientation Program An Introduction to TEAM-Mexico’s Guided Discovery Program “After three weeks of residing in the republic of Mexico, Mr. Winthrop was not only convinced that he knew the country perfectly, but also that he had seen everything- that he had penetrated the character and the customs of its people and had explored it thoroughly.” Translated from Canasta de Cuentas Mexicanos by B. Traven Cultural Orientation: FAIL! Unlike this clueless tourist, we hope that you will start the journey of understanding and enjoying Mexico and her culture. It will take a lifetime! That’s why we called our program Peregrinando which means, “ taking a journey, a pilgrimage.” This program is part of a two year orientation for new workers . On the next page, you will see a timeline. It includes formal language study, journaling and a coaching program. We hope that you will develop skills of observation and sympathetic questioning that will serve you throughout your career. Please journal your observations and discuss your experience with your coach each week. Both of you can keep a checklist to record your progress. The activities can be done in any order. Some of the activities will be easy to do, others may require a translator for you to complete. If you would like to substitute another activity or reading for one we have chosen, please talk with your coach first. Our thanks to Beth Wyse, Curriculum Designer for Lifelearner Network, who guided us as we attempted “the discovery method.” We used many of Dr. Herbert Purnell’s general topics as an outline for our program (2004, A Language and Culture Learning Program for Independent Learners, preliminary rev.

  • Holidays and Observances, 2020
    Holidays and Observances, 2020 For Use By New Jersey Libraries Made by Allison Massey and Jeff Cupo Table of Contents A Note on the Compilation…………………………………………………………………….2 Calendar, Chronological……………….…………………………………………………..…..6 Calendar, By Group…………………………………………………………………………...17 Ancestries……………………………………………………....……………………..17 Religion……………………………………………………………………………….19 Socio-economic……………………………………………………………………….21 Library……………………………………...…………………………………….…...22 Sources………………………………………………………………………………....……..24 1 A Note on the Compilation This listing of holidays and observances is intended to represent New Jersey’s diverse population, yet not have so much information that it’s unwieldy. It needed to be inclusive, yet practical. As such, determinations needed to be made on whose holidays and observances were put on the calendar, and whose were not. With regards to people’s ancestry, groups that made up 0.85% of the New Jersey population (approximately 75,000 people) and higher, according to Census data, were chosen. Ultimately, the cut-off needed to be made somewhere, and while a round 1.0% seemed a good fit at first, there were too many ancestries with slightly less than that. 0.85% was significantly higher than any of the next population percentages, and so it made a satisfactory threshold. There are 20 ancestries with populations above 75,000, and in total they make up 58.6% of the New Jersey population. In terms of New Jersey’s religious landscape, the population is 67% Christian, 18% Unaffiliated (“Nones”), and 12% Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, and Hindu. These six religious affiliations, which add up to 97% of the NJ population, were chosen for the calendar. 2% of the state is made up of other religions and faiths, but good data on those is lacking.

  • Juneteenth 6517A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Tasha Chambers [email protected] | (804) 263-0491 Elegba Folklore Society Announces Schedule for Juneteenth Celebration Renowned Historian, Tony Browder, to Headline Weekend with Symposium RICHMOND, Va. (June 5, 2017) – Richmond’s Cultural Ambassador, Elegba Folklore Society (EFS), will present “Juneteenth 2017, A Freedom Celebration” on June 16-18 with weekend-long cultural and educational programs. This year’s event will include The Symposium featuring renowned historian, author, decoder, archeologist and Egyptologist, Anthony T. Browder; Juneteenth Backyard Party; and a ceremony for Ancestral Homage held at the African Burial Ground. Juneteenth, regarded as the first African American holiday, became a traditional celebration when, on June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger sailed into Galveston (Texas) harbor and issued a proclamation giving freedom to approximately 250,000 blacks in Texas still in bondage 2 ½ years after President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was enacted on Jan. 1,1863. EFS’s goal is to educate event participants about this independence holiday for African Americans, the rich history of Africans and their descendants in America and to celebrate cultural togetherness. “The Juneteenth Freedom Celebration is about acknowledgment and celebration of our African ancestors’ independence from bondage,” said Janine Bell, president and artistic director of Elegba Folklore Society. “Today, more than ever, there is a much needed, enhanced level of cultural understanding that can bring clarity to our lives and our journey. Juneteenth commemorates the physical liberation but focuses in on the pursuit of mental and spiritual liberation that many have yet to achieve as African descendants trying to find or maintain a sense of identity and purpose in America.
