This event will feature the world premiere of music composed for the event by Mina Esary in collaboration with the ROCmusic students, performed by fivebyfive and the students. This new work will be the catalyst for a community talk-back about the complicated dimensions of the suffrage movement: the history of the movement, who was included, who was excluded, and what work is still needed.
Community talk-back panelists include:
Jean Elisabeth Pedersen – Associate Professor of History at the Eastman School of Music and the University of Rochester
Deborah Hughes – President and CEO of the Susan B. Anthony Museum and House
Cona Marshall – Assistant Professor in Religious Studies and African and African American Studies at the University of Rochester
Kathryn Murano Santos – Senior Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Rochester Museum and Science Center

The event will be virtual and will feature three parts:
1) A video premiere of a new work by composer Mina Esary which will feature students from the ROCMusic Collaborative with fivebyfive
2) A community talkback
3) An optional socially distanced neighborhood walk in the Susan B. Anthony district

Monday Lecture Series – October 2020
2020-10-19 13:00 - 14:30 | NY
Women in the Nixon Administration: Defining Simple Justice
Lecturer: Yi Shun Lai, MFA
In 1969, during President Richard Nixon’s second press conference as president, journalist Vera Glazer asked if he was planning on doing better than appointing thee women per 200 high-level Cabinet and policy-making appointments he’d made thus far in his administration.

This question, set against the backdrop of Betty Friedan’s Feminine Mystique and the formation of the National Organization for Women, would give rise to a task force that would eventually more than triple the number of women hired into significant positions in Nixon’s administration, and give rise to the first female FBI agents and generals.

Yi Shun Lai wrote the Nixon Foundation and Presidential Library’s most recent permanent exhibit about the task force leading to these results, which was colloquially referred to as “A Matter of Simple Justice.” In this talk, she’ll share what she learned over her deep dive into the project. Attendees will learn about the “Women’s Program,” and get a rare view of what it’s like to put together a museum exhibit.

This lecture will be presented online, offered to registered guests at 1pm ET.
Space is limited—make your reservations today online here or call 585.279.7490.
Individual lectures are $25 each. NOTE: The link to the online lecture will be sent to registrants the Friday before the scheduled lecture.
