Although ID cards originated in the sciences of surveillance in the 19th century, their proliferation led to a variety of meanings for individuals. Ragas takes conventional analyses of biometric technologies and stands them on their ear.

FROM THE EDITOR Townhouse Notes n “Time, Work- I Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism” (1967), E. P. Thompson argued that capital came to dictate what work got done when and at what rate, helping to wrest control of labor from workers. The bourgeoisie destroyed traditions that affected production, most famously the craft laborers’ custom of working less or not at all on “Saint Monday.” But some populations, Thompson thought, persisted in “work patterns” consisting of “alternate bouts of intense labour and of idleness,” especially the self-employed—“and perhaps also . students.” Faculty work rhythms mirror students’ in some ways, most obviously in the fall-to-spring academic calendar, which features times of breakneck intensity followed by extended fallow periods. Nobody gets summers off— students and faculty alike must work—but the anticipation of “break” is palpable at this time of year. Professors’ work- discipline, however, seems to include an emotional component: guilt about not producing enough. Social media posts about productivity abound, and not only during business hours. Whatever the performative aspect of always being busy, academics care deeply about the quality and quantity of their output, which is often complicated by the demands of personal life. This is true of teaching, research, and service. Those who have academic jobs often cite “setting my own hours” as a perk. But I’m struck by the negative feelings that can accompany “not getting anything done today.” Academics, as a class, work for low pay and long hours, under the expectation that their writing, teaching, and service be of the highest caliber— tenure may be denied, contracts may not be renewed. Saint Monday is little observed among faculty today (posts about drinking wine while grading notwithstanding). Personally, I can’t not care about the quality of what I do; I love doing it. But I’ve found that one benefit of nonacademic labor is that I’m not emotionally invested in filling every spare hour with work. I cram all the work I can into a certain amount of time rather than all the time I have into a certain amount of work. That doesn’t appeal to everyone, and indeed, middle-class professions often require serious time commitments. But as many of us look toward the break that’s not really a break, perhaps we can think about separating time, work- discipline, and self- judgment. Marxism off. —Allison Miller, editor Correction he article “Scholars T on the Edge: The LGBTQ Historians Task Force Report and the AHA” (Perspectives on History, February 2016) implied that La Shonda Mims did doctoral work at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. In fact, she earned her master’s degree there. Perspectives regrets the error.

Beginning in 1916, several bills, resolutions, and hearings have taken place in Congress to introduce legislation that would create a museum, but none would be successful. John Lewis picked up the fight by introducing legislation immediately after becoming a Georgia congressman in 1986. It took Lewis almost twenty years, but in 2003 President George W. Bush finally signed the law to create the National Museum of African American History and Culture. My capstone paper studies the congressional history, early reviews, and content of the museum while also including my personal review: as a public history student, I pay close attention to how the museum presents the content and narrative, as well as the content and narrative themselves. I am able to do this because a research grant through the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs gave me the opportunity to visit the museum in early November.

  • Programs & Exhibitions
    PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Winter/Spring 2020 To purchase tickets by phone call (212) 485-9268 letter | exhibitions | calendar | programs | family | membership | general information Dear Friends, Until recently, American democracy wasn’t up for debate—it was simply fundamental to our way of life. But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out. A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D.

The post included an 8-page document entitled an “Open Letter on Race." The letter was released as a 25-minute video, also. The central theme of the letter was a reflection on Dr. Martin Luther King’s critical question: “Where do we go from here?" Leading into the week of Juneteenth, the Open Letter on Race received over 30,000 views, shares, and engagements. Friends were inspired to draft essays sharing their stories; and this book represents their collective energy. In the arc of history, we stand hopeful that we have now reached a long-awaited inflection point; this book is a demonstration that the People are ready to lead change. This e-book features 100 Black culture-makers & thought-leaders whose message is made for this moment. The theme of this book is “A Call for Change.” This interactive book will never be printed, and has embedded hyperlinks so you can take action now.

  • A Fool's Errand Social Media Toolkit
    BOOK TOUR PRESS KIT SELECTED QUOTES Preface “I saw the journey to build a museum that could help bridge the chasms that divide us as a ‘fool’s errand,’ but an errand worthy of the burdens … a journey that could help, using history and culture as a tool, a nation come to grips with its tortured racial past and maybe find understanding and hope through creation of a museum.” (Page x) Chapter 1 “I craved to be part of an institution that was of value both in the traditional ways of curating exhibitions, enriching education opportunities, and preserving collections and in nontraditional ways, such as being a safe space where issues of social justice, fairness, and racial reconciliation are central to the soul of the museum … I wanted a museum that was not intimidating but as comfortable as the backyard barbecues of my childhood.” (Page 10) Chapter 2 “One can tell a great deal about a country by what it remembers. By what graces the walls of its museums. And what monuments have privileged placement in parks … Yet one learns even more about a nation by what it forgets. What moments of evil, disappointment, and defeat are downplayed or eliminated from the national narratives.” (Page 25) “NMAAHC would not be a museum by black people for black people, not an ancillary narrative, but the quintessential American story. If one wants to understand core American values of optimism, resiliency, and spirituality, where better to look than African American history?” (Page 28) Chapter 3 “In the summer of 2018 I spoke at the Edinburgh International Culture Summit.

National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Louise Dahl-Wolfe, William Edmondson, 1933. ©1989, Center for Creative Photography, Arizona Board of Regents, National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution Teacher, preacher, editor, and abolitionist, Henry Highland Garnet was an unwavering advocate for racial equality and an electrifying speaker in support of that campaign before and after the Civil War. At the 1843 National Negro Convention in Albany, N.Y., Garnet unleashed a rallying cry, urging “the slaves of the United States of America” to rise up and emancipate themselves: “Let your Motto be resistance! Resistance! RESISTANCE! No oppressed people have ever secured Liberty without resistance.” American history is retold through the photographic portraits of celebrated African Americans in Let Your Motto Be Resistance: African American Portraits, the inaugural exhibition of the new National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington D.C. The exhibition will be on view at the International Center of Photography (1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street), from May 11 through September 9, 2007. This collection of photographs traces 150 years of American history through the lives of well-known abolitionists, artists, scientists, writers, statesmen, entertainers, and sports figures. NMAAHC is the Smithsonian’s nineteenth and newest museum, with plans for building a major complex on Washington’s National Mall in under a decade.

  • Award Honorary Degrees Funding
    6 Board Meeting March 12, 2020 AWARD HONORARY DEGREES, URBANA Action: Award Honorary Degrees Funding: No New Funding Required The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Senate has nominated the following persons for conferral of honorary degrees at the Commencement exercises in May 2020. The Chancellor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Vice President, University of Illinois recommends approval of these nominations. Lonnie Bunch III, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution -- the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters Lonnie Bunch III made history when he was the first African American named Secretary of the Smithsonian Institutions. In that capacity, he oversees the most prestigious and arguably most comprehensive museum complexes in the world. His portfolio includes 19 museums, 21 libraries, the National Zoo, numerous research centers, and several education units and centers. The Smithsonian, as this complex is commonly referred to, hosts upward of 30 million visitors a year and has an annual budget of $1.2 million. Previously, Bunch was the director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture. When he started as director in July 2005, he had one staff member, no collections, no funding, and no site for a museum. Driven by optimism, determination and commitment to build “a place that would make America better,” Bunch transformed a vision into a bold reality. The museum has welcomed more than 6 million visitors since it opened in September 2016 and compiled a collection of 40,000 objects that are housed in the first “green building” on the National Mall. 2 In his capacity as historian and educator, Bunch has been in the museum business for practically his entire career, including years of service in Illinois.

    3r d r p p Is William Martinez Not Our Brother? 3r d r p p THE NEW PUBLIC SCHOLARSHIP series editors Lonnie Bunch, Director, National Museum of African-American History and Culture Julie Ellison, Professor of American Culture, University of Michigan Robert Weisbuch, President, Drew University The New Public Scholarship encourages alliances between scholars and commu- nities by publishing writing that emerges from publicly engaged and intellectually consequential cultural work. The series is designed to attract serious readers who are invested in both creating and thinking about public culture and public life. Un- der the rubric of “public scholar,” we embrace campus-based artists, humanists, cul- tural critics, and engaged artists working in the public, nonprofit, or private sector. The editors seek useful work growing out of engaged practices in cultural and educa- tional arenas. We are also interested in books that offer new paradigms for doing and theorizing public scholarship itself. Indeed, validating public scholarship through an evolving set of concepts and arguments is central to The New Public Scholarship. The universe of potential contributors and readers is growing rapidly. We are teaching a generation of students for whom civic education and community service learning are quite normative. The civic turn in art and design has affected educational and cultural institutions of many kinds. In light of these developments, we feel that The New Public Scholarship offers a timely innovation in serious pub- lishing. DIGITALCULTUREBOOKS is an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work explor- ing new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.
