SUMMARY:C. Smith: African-American Business and Community Leader Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:  \nAnthracite Heritage Museum Celebrates African-American History Month \nScranton—The Anthracite Heritage Museum in McDade Park will celebrate African-American History month with a lobby case exhibit entitled: Granville C. Smith: African-American Business and Community Leader. Granville C. Smith came to City of Scranton in 1940 to operate the G.W. Brown Company\, Inc.\, a contract hauler to the Great Atlantic and Pacific (A&P) Tea Company. Consequently\, the city gained a wise businessman\, a tireless community leader\, and a compassionate friend.  During his thirty-four years in the city he served in numerous capacities: He was owner-operator of G.W. Brown\, a member of the Kiwanis Club\, and board member of the Scranton Public Library.  Other board memberships included Goodwill Industries\, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council on Alcoholism\, the Tri-County Migrant Ministry\, the Central City Neighborhood Center\, and the Boys Club of Scranton.  Equally inspiring was Smith’s active role in promoting human and civil rights among the people of Scranton.  He served as a member of the Advisory Committee for the State of Pennsylvania of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights\, Chairman of the Committee on Human Relations\, and as a member of the Commission on Religion and Race of the Presbyterian Synod of Pennsylvania.  In 1971\, he was honored for his work by the United Nations Association.  Two years later\, Smith moved to Teaneck\, New Jersey\, with his wife Dorothy.  That town also benefited greatly from Granville’s dedication to community service until his death in 2002. \nThe exhibit is open free of charge to the public and will be in place from Thursday\, February 1st through Wednesday\, February 28\, 2018.  Admission is charged for the Museum’s main exhibit\, Anthracite People: Immigration & Ethnicity in Pennsylvania’s Hard Coal Region\, and other temporary exhibitions. \n

SUMMARY:Charter Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) will celebrate the commonwealth’s 337th birthday on Charter Day\, Sunday\, March 11\, with free admission to many of the historic sites and museums along the Pennsylvania Trails of History. \nFor this significant anniversary in Pennsylvania history\, the Anthracite Heritage Museum will feature free admission to the museum\, family activities\, and a lecture titled Silk That Spanned the World: The Silk Industry in Eastern Pennsylvania 1880-1990 by Martha Capwell Fox\, curator/archivist with the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor\, will speak at 2 pm.  The museum opens at noon. \nSilk That Spanned the World: The Silk Industry in Eastern Pennsylvania 1880-1990 \nIn 1913\, the United States became the world’s leading producer of silk goods. The same year\, Pennsylvania surpassed New Jersey—essentially\, Paterson\, New Jersey—as the leading American silk manufacturer.  Every county in the Commonwealth had at least one silk mill\, though the industry was concentrated east of the Susquehanna River\, particularly in Lehigh\, Northampton\, and Berks counties. By the mid-1920s\, the value of Allentown’s silk production—over $53.5 million—was larger than that of any Pennsylvania county. The Depression\, competition from Southern and foreign textiles\, as well as the advent of synthetics\, all combined to shrink the local industry steadily but it persisted in Pennsylvania until the second half of the 20th century.  The talk will include a short video that was shot in the last silk mill in the Lehigh Valley. \nMartha Capwell Fox has been the Historian and Archives Coordinator for the National Canal Museum/Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor since 2012. She was the assistant to the NCM Collections Manager from 2003-2005\, and guest curator of the NCM exhibit “Behind the Seams: The Silk Industry in Eastern Pennsylvania.”  Martha presented three papers at Canal History and Technology Symposia\, on the silk industry in the D&L Corridor\, a biographical sketch of 19th century entrepreneur Jose de Navarro\, and an industrial history of Catasauqua\, Pennsylvania\, the site of the first commercially successful anthracite iron furnace. She was a Pennsylvania Commonwealth Speaker from 2004 to 2006. Also a professional writer and editor\, Martha worked in magazine publishing at National Geographic and Rodale\, Inc. and has published four books on local historical topics and three young adult histories on swimming\, auto racing\, and the Vatican. Her most recent book\, Geology\, Geography\, and Human Genius: the Industrial History of the Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor\, will be released later this year. She is a graduate of American University with a dual degree in international relations and U.S. history.

SUMMARY:Mining Life and Culture in the Anthracite Region
DESCRIPTION: “There is no business on earth subject to as many casualties.”  Mining life and culture in the Anthracite Region\nA lecture by Harold Aurand\, Jr. \nThe anthracite coal industry was full of contradictions.  Mining had many of the attributes of high status jobs.  Before a miner could take charge of a workplace he had to be licensed by the state.  He was given autonomy in setting the pace of his work\, and how he would go about doing it.  Promotion to low level supervisory positions required practical experience working in the mines.  The way he was paid suggested miners were viewed by mine owners as respected\, independent producers of coal\, not just wage employees.  Despite all this\, miners’ pay remained low\, and many struggled to escape poverty.  It was little better for the mine owners.  Although anthracite powered the industrial revolution and heated the homes of many eastern cities\, the actual digging of coal usually brought little profit.  This talk will focus on what exactly happened here.  Why anthracite mining always seemed to be a better career and investment than it was\, and how the unique patterns of work and industry gave rise to a distinct local culture.

SUMMARY:WYSO - An American Visionary Artist

WYSO® was one of twelve children born to Ukrainian immigrants. His father\, Joseph\, was a coal miner who lost his life in a mining accident. It was WYSO’s intimate knowledge of miners and their families that was to influence his art throughout his life. WYSO® represents a common man with uncommon talents and vision\, an American treasure\, who portrays events through the eyes of immigrants forging a new life during challenging times\, yet ever embracing their faith and love of God and their ancestral heritage.
