SUMMARY:Historical Context & Local Impact
DESCRIPTION:Dayton Metro Library continues celebrating the 70th anniversary of historic Civil Rights court case Brown v. Board of Education with a series of commemorative discussions – the first being Historical Context & Local Impact. This program will be held on Tuesday\, September 10\, from 6-7:30 pm in the Main Library’s Eichelberger Forum. \n  \nIn the early 1950’s\, Reverend Oliver L. Brown\, along with a team of attorneys for the NAACP and 12 other parents\, along with cases from several other states\, filed a suit on behalf of their children against local boards of education for segregating public schools\, which became known as Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka\, Kansas. The Supreme Court eventually ruled that separating children in public schools on the basis of race was in violation of the 14th Amendment\, making the act unconstitutional. \n  \nRev. Brown passed away in 1961 before knowing the impact this case would have on the nation. In May\, Rev. Brown’s daughter\, Cheryl Brown Henderson\, visited DML as part of its Social Justice Speaker Series to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education. DML continues honoring the legacy of Rev. Brown and others involved in this landmark case by hosting this special series. \n  \nHistorical Context & Local Impact will host a panel discussion with guests providing their perspectives\, anecdotes\, and historical insights into the importance of this case in Civil Rights history. Panel guests include Charlotte McGuire\, Ohio State Board of Education Representative\, District 3; Dr. David Lawrence\, Dayton Public Schools Superintendent; and Mattie White\, 1st Vice President NAACP and President of National Council of Negro Women\, Inc. DML’s Karen D. Brame of Special Collections will moderate the conversation. \n  \nThis is a free event for adults\, and registration is not required. For more information\, visit DaytonMetroLibrary.org or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.

SUMMARY:Sierra Green & the Giants w/ Joe Waters & the Back Porch Band Opening
DESCRIPTION:Emerging as a vibrant musical force from the bustling streets of New Orleans\, Sierra Green embodies a fusion of timeless soul with an irresistible contemporary allure\, evoking the depth and grit of the genre’s raw essence. Revered as the “Queen of Frenchmen Street\,” Sierra’s roots delve deep into the rich musical soil of the city’s 7th Ward—a historic breeding ground that nurtured legends such as Jelly Roll Morton\, Sidney Bechet\, and Allen Toussaint. Sierra’s musical destiny is woven into the tapestry of this storied neighborhood\, where her voice resonated in the church choir from the tender age of eight. \nSierra’s artistic odyssey mirrors the resilience and profound soulfulness of her surroundings. Originating from humble beginnings\, she captivated audiences along the iconic Frenchmen Street\, eventually securing residencies in New Orleans’ most esteemed clubs. Here\, she meticulously curated her band\, The Giants\, handpicking the city’s finest musicians to refine her distinctive sound and command the stage with an undeniable presence. \nA transformative moment unfolded in Fall 2023 when Sierra\, alongside The Giants\, collaborated in the studio with the esteemed David Torkanowsky\, a musical luminary synonymous with New Orleans. The outcome was a five-song collection showcasing Sierra’s artistry\, revitalizing classics like The Meter’s “Break in the Road” and infusing her unique essence into David Shaw’s “Promised Land.” Tracks such as “One Thing” and “He Called Me Baby” resonate with emotional depth and unfiltered passion\, marking Sierra’s trajectory—a burgeoning artist leaving an indelible imprint on the soul music landscape. \nFurther expanding her horizons\, Sierra journeyed to Nashville\, collaborating with producer and guitarist J.D. Simo\, celebrated for his work with icons like Beyoncé\, Stevie Nicks\, and Jack White. These recording sessions promise to elevate her forthcoming debut album\, infusing her captivating vocals with sultry guitar\, potent horns\, and infectious basslines—a nod to the legends of Detroit and Memphis as she forges her own path among contemporary torchbearers. \nSierra stands poised and primed\, where each moment behind the microphone holds the promise of an unforgettable evening—an embodiment of soulful melodies and magnetic performances that leave audiences moved\, captivated\, and inspired. Sierra Green isn’t merely crafting music; she’s etching her legacy in the revered annals of musical history. \nJoe Waters blues band live music Projects Unlimited Gem Series Opener Joe Waters & the Back Porch Band \nJoe Waters\, a versatile musician from Dayton\, Ohio\, showcases his talent across Blues\, Funk\, Folk\, and Americana genres as a singer-songwriter.
