SUMMARY:Salons at Stowe: What are human rights?
DESCRIPTION:Salons at Stowe is a monthly community conversation series that invites participants to engage in open\, facilitated dialogue on today’s most pressing social questions. \n\nThe opening installment of Salons at Stowe is inspired by the themes of Amanda Mendoza’s exhibition\, What Does It Mean to Be Human\, currently on view at the Stowe Visitor Center. For our second gathering\, we turn to two foundational questions: \n“Who is deserving of human rights? ”“What are human rights?” \nTogether\, these questions invite participants to explore belonging\, dignity\, and the deep impact of who is—and is not—recognized fully within our communities and systems. This conversation invites curiosity\, vulnerability\, and shared reflection as we consider how humanity is affirmed\, diminished\, and reclaimed. \n\nAbout the Facilitators\nThis month’s discussion is guided by two leaders whose creative and facilitation practices make them uniquely suited to explore these questions. \nDerek Hall\, Facilitator \nGamze Ozker\, Researcher \nGamze Ozker\nGamze Ozker holds an M.A. in Human Rights from the University of Connecticut. Guided by a commitment to honoring human dignity and fostering dialogue across differences\, she brings a human rights lens to the exhibition’s exploration of belonging and solidarity. \nDerek Hall\nDerek Hall (he/him/his) is an anti-racist intergroup dialogue facilitator\, public speaker\, and activist committed to challenging systemic racism and reshaping the cultures that sustain it. With over a decade of experience partnering with schools\, nonprofits\, and national organizations\, Hall is known for his dynamic approach to dialogue\, blending storytelling\, accountability\, and community-building. As a Racial Equity Consultant & Coach\, he believes that “changed people\, change systems\,” guiding participants toward deeper understanding and more just ways of being together. \nEXHIBITION OVERVEIW PAGE

SUMMARY:Yours Truly: 19th Century Letters from Our Archive
DESCRIPTION:Our archive holds a wealth of fascinating correspondence\, scrapbooks\, diaries\, and other materials that offer unique perspectives into the interior lives of some of the most influential people of the 19th century. We invite our public into close contact with some of our most insightful\, curious\, enlightening\, and humorous archival holdings for monthly gatherings where we read letters from our collection. We hold letters from Frederick Douglass\, Harriet Jacobs\, William Lloyd Garrison\, and other progressive thinkers of the 19th century\, in addition of course to those written by the extensive and active Beecher family. This gathering will meet and read copies of historic letters from our archive\, with the original on display. Together\, we will work through not only 19th century handwriting (transcript will be available) but the topics\, thoughts\, emotional reactions these writers held. 19th century correspondence was both a semi-private and semi-public affair\, and letters offer a unique glimpse into the personality and interiority of individuals. We hope you’ll join Cat White\, Director of Historic Collections\, as we bring our letters out of the archives!

SUMMARY:Reading for Change
DESCRIPTION:A virtual reading group curated around our Stowe Prize for Literary Activism winners\, shortlist\, and mission-aligned books. \nRegister to Attend in Person                Register to Attend Virtually\n  CLICK HERE FOR THE ZOOM LINK\n \nAbout the Book\nAn Inconvenient Cop: My Fight to Change Policing in America is Edwin Raymond’s gripping and deeply reflective account of his fifteen years within the New York Police Department. With unwavering candor and moral clarity\, Raymond reveals the entrenched structures\, racialized pressures\, and unforgiving metrics that shape the realities of American policing. His story moves with the force of testimony—navigating the personal cost of resistance\, the peril of speaking truth to power\, and the enduring belief that justice must be pursued even when the consequences are steep. \nThe memoir becomes both exposé and elegy: a reckoning with history\, a meditation on accountability\, and a call to imagine systems capable of change. Lyrical yet unflinching\, An Inconvenient Cop underscores the vital role of witness in the struggle for equity and reform. \n \nAbout the Facilitators\nThis conversation brings together two essential voices whose experiences and expertise illuminate the themes at the heart of An Inconvenient Cop. Their combined perspectives guide participants through a deeper understanding of policing\, justice\, and the transformative power of truth-telling. \nEdwin Raymond\nEdwin Raymond is native of Brooklyn\, New York and recently retired NYPD lieutenant\, whistleblower and civil rights advocate whose work challenges systemic racism and inequity in modern policing. He shares his experiences through public speaking\, different forms of media and his memoir An Inconvenient Cop\, using personal narrative to illuminate structural injustice. His commitment to reform and moral courage aligns with the Stowe Center’s mission to inspire social\njustice through storytelling. Like Stowe\, Raymond uses his voice to provoke dialogue\, foster empathy and encourage collective action toward a more just society. \nDr. Michael Mallery Jr.\nChair of the Stowe Center’s Board of Trustees\, Dr. Michael Mallery Jr. is a scholar-activist whose work centers on education\, equity\, and community empowerment. With more than fourteen years of experience inspiring students and educators across the country\, he brings an essential lens to conversations about justice and social change. His commitment to fostering dialogue and civic engagement makes him a vital guide in exploring the memoir’s urgent themes.
