SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys.

Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Lessons from the Water Warrior on Community Coalition Building for Water Justice
DESCRIPTION:Lessons from the Water Warrior on Community Coalition Building for Water Justice\nMonica Lewis-Patrick\, Founder and CEO of We The People of Detroit\nFriday\, October 31\, noon ET\nSSW ECC 1840\n\nAs a community-based grassroots organization\, WPD aims to inform\, educate\, and empower Detroit residents on imperative issues surrounding civil rights\, land\, water\, education\, and the democratic process. In collaboration with community activists\, academics\, researchers\, and designers\, the WPD Community Research Collective (CRC) utilizes research in order to serve the sustainability of the Detroit community. The WPD CRC uses data to visually show the socio-economic consequences of austerity policies in Detroit\, which have worked toward the dismantling of Black and Brown Detroit neighborhoods. By presenting a critical counter narrative\, WPD CRC uses knowledge as a tool to empower Detroit citizens as they fight for an equitable and beloved community. WPD CRC's most recent project addresses the public health crisis in Detroit as a result of unsafe and inaccessible water services.\n\nThe Real-World Perspectives on Poverty Solutions speaker series introduces key issues regarding the causes and consequences of poverty through an in-person and virtual lecture series featuring experts in policy and practice from across the nation. Our goal is to help build a broad community of learners to engage in these issues together.\n\nThis series is free and open to the public as well as being a one-credit course for U-M students (SWK 503\, Course #25751). In-person talks include coffee\, cookies\, and the chance to ask the speakers questions or watch the livestream on YouTube.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Revisiting the Indian Hills Site: A Protohistoric Village Community of Western Ciinkwhtanwi  Kihcikami (Lake Erie)
DESCRIPTION:The Indian Hills site (33-WO-4)\, in Rossford\, Ohio\, is a large (10-acre)\, multicomponent site situated at a high promontory along a creek one mile southeast of Taawaawa Siipiiwi (the Maumee River). This site was discovered in 1962\, and professional excavations took place in the late 1960s and the early 1980s. A comprehensive review of excavations and artifact analyses exist primarily in two Master’s theses. Here\, I will review excavation data\, ceramics data\, and radiocarbon dates\, presenting new analyses on abandoned petrographic data collected decades ago. This site\, on city property\, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979\; it is in the process of becoming a “green space\,” an urban forest with walking trails. Possible paths forward for collaborative research and local community awareness and engagement will be discussed.
