SUMMARY:"Landmarks & Legacies" Photo Contest
DESCRIPTION:The Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area has opened its annual photo contest after a two-year hiatus – and there are new twists.“We’ve had so many great entries in past years that we wanted to offer our local photographers something new\,” said MSNHA Program Director Jessie Johnson. “We hope these changes— adding the theme ‘Landmarks & Legacies\,’ emphasizing creativity and giving photographers a long window of opportunity — will get our entrants excited about going in a different direction. We’re especially delighted to connect this year’s photo contest with America250\, the initiative to celebrate and commemorate America’s Semiquincentennial.”In addition\, winning and other selected submissions will be featured in an exhibit co-hosted by Florence Arts and Museums\, Oct. 12-Nov. 13.Entries can be submitted digitally at MSNHA’s website\, https://msnha.una.edu/. Deadline is Friday\, Aug. 28. Photos must be taken within the past 18 months in one of MSNHA’s six counties (Colbert\, Franklin\, Lauderdale\, Lawrence\, Limestone and Morgan). Guidelines and the submission form are at https://msnha.una.edu/.“We wanted our theme to be dynamic and flexible enough to inspire creativity. We also wanted to help entrants share their stories of meaningful places and people\,” Johnson said. “Even though Alabama was not a state 250 years ago when the Declaration of Independence was signed\, we hope our entrants can capture the spirit of America’s beginnings through this year’s ‘Landmarks and Legacy’ theme. We can’t wait to see the results!”Questions? Email msnha@una.edu.

SUMMARY:Celebrating America’s 250th: American Art Galleries
DESCRIPTION:Spanning nearly 250 years of artistic expression\, the American art galleries explore how artists have interpreted the nation’s history\, culture\, and identity from the early republic to the present day. Featuring artworks from the museum’s permanent collection—including works by Thomas Hart Benton\, Milton Avery\, Lilla Cabot Perry\, Claes Oldenburg\, and other influential artists—these galleries reveal the many ways artists have responded to the American experience. \n\n\n\nThe presentation is further enriched by important loans from institutions including the Toledo Museum of Art\, the Art Bridges Foundation\, and the DeMell Jacobsen Foundation. \n\n\n\nAs the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence\, these galleries offer an opportunity to reflect on the evolving story of American art. Across generations\, artists have documented the people\, places\, and ideas that have shaped the nation while also questioning and expanding the narratives that define it. \n\n\n\nOrganized into thematic sections\, the galleries examine how artists have depicted the American experience in all its complexity. From early portraiture and sweeping landscapes to the bold experiments of modern and contemporary art\, the works on view reveal how artistic styles\, ideas\, and perspectives have evolved over time.

SUMMARY:We the Readers - The Color Purple
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence this year at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library with a search for The Great American Novel. \n\n\n\nThis month we are reading The Color Purple by Alice Walker\, published 1982. \n\n\n\nCelie has grown up poor in rural Georgia\, despised by the society around her and abused by her own family. She strives to protect her sister\, Nettie\, from a similar fate\, and while Nettie escapes to a new life as a missionary in Africa\, Celie is left behind without her best friend and confidante\, married off to an older suitor\, and sentenced to a life alone with a harsh and brutal husband.  \n\n\n\nIn an attempt to transcend a life that often seems too much to bear\, Celie begins writing letters directly to God. The letters\, spanning 20 years\, record a journey of self-discovery and empowerment guided by the light of a few strong women. She meets Shug Avery\, her husband’s mistress and a jazz singer with a zest for life\, and her stepson’s wife\, Sofia\, who challenges her to fight for independence. And though the many letters from Celie’s sister are hidden by her husband\, Nettie’s unwavering support will prove to be the most breathtaking of all.

SUMMARY:We the Readers - Blood Meridian
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence this year at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library with a search for The Great American Novel. \n\n\n\nThis month we are reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy\, published 1985. \n\n\n\nWidely considered one of the finest novels by a living writer\, Blood Meridian is an epic tale of the violence and corruption that attended America’s westward expansion\, brilliantly subverting the conventions of the Western novel and the mythology of the “Wild West.” Its wounded hero\, the Kid\, a fourteen-year-old Tennessean\, must confront the extraordinary brutality of the Glanton gang\, a murderous cadre on an official mission to scalp Indians. Seeming to preside over this nightmarish world is the diabolical Judge Holden\, one of the most unforgettable characters in American fiction. Based on historical events that took place on the Texas-Mexico border in the 1850s\, Blood Meridian represents a genius vision of the historical West\, one whose stature has only grown in the years since its publication.

SUMMARY:We the Readers - The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 250th anniversary of The Declaration of Independence this year at the Downtown Huntsville Public Library with a search for The Great American Novel. \n\n\n\nThis month we are reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz\, published 2007.  \n\n\n\nOscar is a sweet but disastrously overweight ghetto nerd who—from the New Jersey home he shares with his old world mother and rebellious sister—dreams of becoming the Dominican J.R.R. Tolkien and\, most of all\, finding love. But Oscar may never get what he wants. Blame the fukú—a curse that has haunted Oscar’s family for generations\, following them on their epic journey from Santo Domingo to the USA. Encapsulating Dominican-American history\, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao opens our eyes to an astonishing vision of the contemporary American experience and explores the endless human capacity to persevere—and risk it all—in the name of love.
