SUMMARY:Jewish American Identity Through Food\, Activism and Archives
DESCRIPTION:JEWISH AMERICAN IDENTITY THROUGH FOOD\, ACTIVISM AND ARCHIVES: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion is promoting the following event for Jewish American Heritage Month. \nJoin curators\, librarians\, and educators at The New York Public Library for a virtual event exploring the richness and complexity of Jewish American life through food traditions\, community activism\, and archival treasures. Drawing on materials from the Library’s special collections and educator resources\, this program highlights objects and stories that reflect the diversity of Jewish identity in the United States. \nParticipants will learn about NYPL’s Jewish Cookbooks LibGuide\, a resource guide that takes readers on a culinary journey through migration\, adaptation\, and memory. Recipes and cookbooks serve as windows into the lived experiences of Jewish immigrants\, showing how food preserves culture and evolves across generations. \nThe event also explores Jewish American histories of labor organizing and tenant activism through New York City’s Rent Strikers: Jewish Activism & Housing Reform in the Progressive Era\, a curriculum guide developed by NYPL’s Center for Educators and Schools. This guide features primary sources\, historical context\, and classroom-ready materials that illuminate the connections between Jewish communities and broader movements for housing justice and workers’ rights. \nWe will also spotlight items from NYPL’s Dorot Jewish Division digital exhibitions\, including Visualizing Jewish New York and Building Jewish Life in the United States. Through postcards\, photographs\, and other artifacts\, we’ll explore how Jewish life has been documented and expressed across time and place. \nThis virtual event is at 4 p.m. Register at www.nypl.org/events/programs/2025/05/08/jewish-american-identity-through-food-activism-archives

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Kevin Nguyen on "My Documents"
DESCRIPTION:AUTHOR TALK – KEVIN NGUYEN ON “MY DOCUMENTS”: The Office of Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion is promoting this event in honor of AAPI Heritage Month (Asian American Pacific Heritage Month). \nCelebrate AAPI month with author Kevin Nguyen and his new book\, “Mỹ Documents.” Nguyen will be in conversation with educator and AAPI activist Jennifer Heikkila Diaz. \nThis event is presented in partnership with AAPI Westport. \nAs an author\, journalist\, and editor at The Verge\, Kevin Nguyen’s work often explores what happens at the intersection of technology\, humanity\, and culture. His incisive and darkly satirical new novel\, “Mỹ Documents\,” couldn’t be timelier — or more engrossing. \nA moving speculative novel about a Vietnamese American family confronting ambition and assimilation during exceptionally troubled times\, “Mỹ Documents” gives a version of reality only a few degrees away from our own. Nguyen\, whose work grew from extensive research on the incarceration of Japanese citizens in the U.S. during the 1940s\, imagines what a mass detention program might look like in the age of the internet. \nKevin Nguyen is features editor of The Verge\, and was previously a senior editor at GQ. He has edited stories that have been finalists for the National Magazine Award and the Pulitzer Prize. His debut novel\, “New Waves” (2020\, One World)\, was one of NPR’s Best Books of the Year in 2020\, and was widely celebrated for its mordant humor\, fierce intelligence\, and stylish prose. Author Bryan Washington called it “a delight and a gamble and a treasure and a miracle.” \nJennifer (JHD/Jenny) Heikkila Díaz (they/she) is a professional learning coordinator for the Connecticut Council for the Social Studies and a facilitator of statewide teacher communities as a member of the Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning Collective Steering Committee and as a UConn AAASI Activist in Residence. For nearly 25 years\, JHD has worked as a K-12 public school teacher\, school administrator\, and educator coach in Baltimore\, South Central Los Angeles\, Long Beach\, Echo Park\, Queens\, and across Connecticut. They are a New Havener and co-chair of the Asian Pacific American Coalition of CT (APAC). Their lifelong commitment is to backing youth\, who envision an even more joyful and just world than they do. \nAt 7 p.m. at the Westport Library\, 20 Jesup Road\, Westport\, CT.
