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.

SUMMARY:Salons at Stowe: What happens when you’re not seen as human enough?
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 first gathering\, we turn to two foundational questions: \n“What does it mean to be human?”“And what happens when you’re not seen as human enough?” \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 \nAmanda Mendoza\, Artist \nAmanda Mendoza\nArtist\, muralist\, and curator Amanda Mendoza is dedicated to creating work that fosters advocacy\, resilience\, and community healing. Her artistic philosophy centers on the power of art not merely to decorate\, but to transform—to help communities see themselves\, connect across difference\, and imagine new possibilities. As the Stowe Center for Literary Activism’s Artist of Color Accelerate\, Mendoza brings both artistic insight and lived experience to the conversation her exhibition inspires. \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:Spirits at Stowe
DESCRIPTION:Spirits at Stowe considers spiritualism as a tool of resistance among radicals and reformers of the 19th century. \nThrough contact with spirits\, radical women claimed authority to speak the unspeakable\, especially the right to full control and autonomy over their own bodies and families. Throughout the tour\, we will delve into the historic\, social\, and political context of the 19th century and explore the role of spiritualism in the lives of reformers\, suffragists\, and Black activists\, including Harriet Jacobs\, Frederick Douglass\, and Harriet Wilson. \nDuring the tour\, the house is “set” to reflect a Spiritualist setting. It takes place later in the evening and is by (electric) candlelight. Participants on the tour will observe and engage with materials and primary sources related to spiritualism\, including a planchette\, spiritualist newspapers\, seance accounts\, and letter excerpts from leading 19th century activists. \nSpirits at Stowe deals with themes such as violence\, sexuality\, and reproductive rights.It is not recommended for children under 13.  \n  \nWhat is spiritualism?  \nBroadly speaking\, spiritualism is the belief that an individual’s awareness persists after death and can be contacted by the living. During Spirits at Stowe\, we discuss the histories of multiple spiritualist traditions in U.S. history\, and how these beliefs helped inspire\, nourish\, and connect politically radical individuals and communities – paying special attention to abolitionism\, women’s rights\, labor rights\, and the intersection among them. \n
