Author Event: Richard K. Rein, Princeton Public Library

Thursday January 13, 2022
7:00 PM

The author discusses his book "American Urbanist: How William H. Whyte's Unconventional Wisdom Reshaped Public Life."

"American Urbanist" shares the life and wisdom of William "Holly" Whyte, a man whose advocacy reshaped many of the places we know and love today — from New York’s bustling Bryant Park to preserved forests and farmlands around the country. Whyte's experiences as a WWII intelligence officer and leader of the genre-defining reporters at Fortune Magazine in the 1950s shaped his razor-sharp assessments of how the world actually worked — not how it was assumed to work. His 1956 bestseller, "The Organization Man," catapulted the dangers of “groupthink” and conformity into the national consciousness.

Passing: A Film Discussion with Director/Writer Rebecca Hall and Actresses Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga, National Museum of African American History and Culture

Thursday January 13, 2022
7:00 PM

Join us in the New Year for a virtual discussion with Netflix film Passing screenwriter and director Rebecca Hall, alongside actresses Tessa Thompson and Ruth Negga. Based on Nella Larsen’s novel of the same name, Hall’s directorial debut explores not just racial identity but gender, class, the responsibilities of motherhood and the performance of femininity from the perspective of two Black women who choose to live on opposite sides of the color line in 1929 New York. For Rebecca Hall, creating Passing was a deeply personal journey, stemming from the discovery of her own family history. NMAAHC Curator Aaron Bryant will moderate the discussion. This program will be pre-recorded, and there will be no live Q & A. Passing is available now on Netflix.
