DESCRIPTION:Journey through the history of American Jewish political activism in the 20th and 21st centuries.

SUMMARY:Supreme Court Justice Arthur and Dorothy Goldberg's Legendary Passover Seders
DESCRIPTION:In 1960s Washington\, the Goldbergs hosted annual seders famous for weaving the Haggadah together with the songs and history of the labor movement. As Arthur Goldberg’s career carried him from representing steelworkers\, to serving as JFK’s Labor Secretary\, to a seat on the Supreme Court\, the guest list grew from local Jewish families and labor leaders to include Washington’s A-list. Arthur and his wife\, Dorothy––an artist and activist in her own right––filled their civil-rights-themed seders with joy and music. \nJoin us for a night of stories from guests lucky enough to have known the Goldbergs and attended these gatherings. \n  \nRegister\n  \n(Picture Dorothy singing Yiddish labor songs\, AFL-CIO leader George Meany belting Irish ballads\, and Chief Justice Earl Warren warbling – The Yellow Rose of Texas.)

SUMMARY:The Promise and Perils of Public Art: Ben Shahn's Murals on Social Security
DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Laura Katzman as she discusses the public art of Ben Shahn (1898-1969)\, focusing on his most prominent New Deal fresco murals\, The Meaning of Social Security\, which were commissioned by the Public Works Agency’s Section of Fine Arts (1940-1942) for the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building in Washington. \nDr. Katzman will address how Shahn navigated the demands of federal agencies\, the needs of his own art/activism\, and the larger goals of his social criticism. The program will illuminate the status of Shahn’s murals in the context of the current administration?s controversial efforts to sell specific government buildings and its drastic staff cuts to the General Services Administration––the official steward of federally funded art in government buildings across the United States. \n  \n  \nRegister
