Illinois Antislavery and the Struggle for Freedom As we enter the summer months, we hope you will still attend ALL’s continuing Bicentennial series, The

Culture and Heritage of Illinoisans, held at the Illinois State Museum. If you have friends or relatives in town,

bring them along, especially if they live elsewhere in our state or have some ties to Illinois.

On Sunday June 17 at 2 p.m., we welcome Jeanne Schultz-Angel, a historian and museum professional, who

is currently executive director of the Nineteenth Century Club and Charitable Association in Oak Park, Illinois.

Her program is provided with additional support from Illinois Humanities.

She offers an understanding of how individuals fought efforts to allow slavery to legally exist in early

Illinois. Understanding the wide range of motivations that might lie behind any given individual’s opposition to

slavery – commitment to human rights, belief in racial equality, economic considerations and religious

convictions – is important as a base to understanding the Illinoisans who played prominent roles in the

antislavery movements preceding the Civil War. Schultz-Angel will also explore the role that the Underground

Railroad played in the lives of Freedom Seekers and include information about several significant slavery and

antislavery sites in Illinois, including sundown towns. Her presentation will demonstrate the complexity of

responses to the idea of slavery in the early days of Illinois statehood and link it to the impact of human

trafficking in present-day Illinois.

Schultz-Angel’s work on the antislavery movement has continued since she wrote an award-winning

graduate thesis on the topic in 2005. She previously served as the executive director of the Lombard Historical

Society, where she managed the Sheldon Peck Homestead, listed on the National Park Service Underground

Railroad Network to Freedom and also served as executive director of the Illinois Association of Museums in

Springfield.

Another ALL Road Scholar trip: March 24-29, 2019 In 2017, when we proposed a special Road Scholar trip for ALL members, we did it because it was a way to

celebrate ALL’s 25th anniversary and introduce more people to the experience of Road Scholar learning. We

also wanted to offer this as another benefit for members who like to travel. We decided on San Antonio but

weren’t certain where this action would lead us.

Well, it’s going to Mobile and Fairhope, Alabama! Many of the travelers of 2018 indicated that they loved

the Texas trip and would like to travel as a charter group again. So we’ve set dates and a destination and hope to

have final details and a cost by early June.

Why this choice? Did you know that the first Mardi Gras was started in Mobile, not New Orleans? We’ll go

to the Carnival Museum to learn more about the three centuries of this annual celebration. Have you ever

dreamed of visiting the famed Bellingrath Gardens and antique-filled Mansion? Then come with us. We should

see a multitude of azaleas, other flowers and shrubs in bloom. Plus, we’ll visit the baytown of Fairhope and

meet a very special gentleman who will explain how this Utopian community developed and became the

creative arts colony it is today. Both walking and motor coach architectural tours are part of the week, as well as

a pontoon boat ride in Mobile Harbor and, during free time, an opportunity to board the U.S.S. Alabama

Battleship from WWII or visit one of the nearby forts involved in the famous Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay.

A more detailed itinerary will be offered at an informational meeting on Tuesday, June 5 at 10:30 a.m., in

Montgomery Hall, room 1143. Join us if you are interested or contact one of us for information.

Watch the Sliders play! On Tuesday, June 19, we've scheduled our annual outing to watch and support our local Springfield Sliders

baseball team. The game will be played at Lanphier Park/Robin Roberts Stadium on North Grand East,

beginning at 6:35 p.m., against their Prospect League rival, the Butler Blue Sox, who are traveling all the way

from Pennsylvania just to entertain us.

Bring the entire family, friends, etc. General adult admission tickets are $8; seniors and children ages 4-12,

$5; and kids under 4, free. All tickets are general admission.

No registration or reservations are needed, however, please contact me so we'll have a general idea of the

possible ALL attendance and how many seats to hold.

Parking is available at no charge in the lot just west of the stadium on the north side of North Grand. For

attendees who have difficulty with stairs, there is a ramp off to the right of the stairs. If the weather is

questionable, call the Sliders front office at 679-3511 that afternoon to see if the game is still on. If the game is

canceled, we'll try to reschedule this event.

Games and brains Need a brain booster??? Your brain needs exercising just as much as your body, and games are a fun way to

stimulate the gray matter.

So, the Games Committee is inviting members on Thursday, June 28 from 1-3 p.m., Montgomery Hall,

room 1142, where everyone will play a scheduled game and brainstorm game ideas for the next year. Can’t

make the meeting; then contact the facilitators with your suggestions. Your brain cells will love you!

Summer movies

Two of our movie lovers are now helping with summer choices! Ina Faye and Helen Pokora have figured out

a summer schedule based on nationwide opening dates (provided that includes Springfield, of course). We’ve

also decided that on the dates we list below, if the promoted movie isn’t here, we’ll inform you what will be

featured on the same date. Plus, we might see more than one movie a month, allowing more variety in the kinds

of films we have selected. All movies will be on Tuesdays in the afternoon.

June 12: Ocean’s Eight – This version is a spin-off of the movie comedy headlined by George Clooney and

several other male stars. This time Sandra Bullock is Debbie Ocean, estranged sister of Danny Ocean. Her crew

includes Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Helena Bonham Carter and rapper/comedian

Awkwafina, trying to make a crime of the century heist at the annual Met Gala, and we will see many, many

fashions and cameos as well as a few familiar male faces.

June 19: Gotti – The biographical crime drama tells the story of two men with that famous New York

mobster name, John Gotti, and his son, John Gotti, Jr. Who takes on his title role? None other than John

Travolta who we’ve seen as many diverse characters throughout his career. His wife, Kelly Preston, and

daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta, are also featured, along with some other actors whose names might not be

recognizable, but whose faces will be.

Other dates that we have planned for our ALL summer movie schedule are: July 3, July 24, August 7 and 14.

Mark your calendar, and we’ll provide more info next month!

Remember to check your email on the Saturday before all dates to find out the exact time and theater

location. And if you’re new and want to be on the email list, contact one of us soon.

The Erie Canal, history and today Learn about the history of the Erie Canal at the Today’s Topic on Tuesday, June 12 that begins at 10 a.m. in

the Trutter Center. Bill Sowle will share his travel experiences on the 1600-mile trip that included going

through the Erie Canal. He sailed from the South Atlantic Ocean to the Hudson River, roughly 400 miles of the

Erie Canal, through seven locks, to the St. Lawrence Seaway and Lake Michigan all in 10 to 12 days.

The Erie Canal was actually dug by hand by “Mr. Manual Labor” between 1817 and 1823, a monumental

task, even by today’s standards. Originally mules were used to pull barges through the canal, and it ran through

Vermillion County Indiana, which borders Vermilion County Illinois. Today's canal is wider and no longer uses

mules.

There will be printed handouts and a video presentation that lasts for about one hour. Time will be allotted for

questions after the presentation. Please register for the Today’s Topic.

Les Eastep 217-498-9802 [email protected]

On Thursday, June 14, Chautauqua concludes its spring music series with a

program on jazz. This genre of music is America's own invention that grew out

of the musical traditions of Africa and Europe. It is a century old art form that

has evolved from slave songs, spirituals, blues and ragtime. It is a mixing of

styles that became part of the American popular culture.

Our presenter for this program is Virgil Rhodes, Springfield jazz artist and

LLCC educator. His presentation will include live music and recorded audio of historic jazz styles and artists.

Since Chautauqua won't return until September, we are going to celebrate summer with added refreshments for

our final program of American music.

Please join Chautauqua from 1-3 p.m. at the Trutter Center. Registration is required for this event.

Book Lovers

Book Lovers will meet Wednesday, June 27 from 1-2 pm in Millennium Center, room

1104 to discuss The Aviator’s Wife by Melanie Benjamin.

For much of her life, Anne Morrow has stood in the shadows of those around her. While on

a trip to Mexico City, she meets Colonel Charles Lindbergh, fresh off his celebrated 1927 solo

flight across the Atlantic. The two marry in a headline-making wedding and continue to be

hounded by adoring crowds and hunted by an insatiable press.

In the years that follow, despite her own major achievements, Anne is viewed merely as the aviator's wife.

The fairy-tale life she once longed for will bring heartbreak and hardships, ultimately pushing her to reconcile

her need for love and her desire for independence, and to embrace, at last, life's infinite possibilities for change

and happiness.

We hope you will join us whether or not you have read the book.

June WOW trip: Tempel Farms Lipizzans On Wednesday, June 27, we travel to Tempel Farms in Old Mill Creek, IL to see the

matinee performance of the Lipizzan horses. Tempel Lipizzans promote classical riding, or

dressage, and the Lipizzan breed in the United States through a breeding and training program.

The Lipizzan breed is now considered an endangered domestic animal with numbers of less

than 8,500 worldwide.

The Tempel Farms training program began in 1958 and is modeled after the Spanish Riding

School in Vienna, Austria. Tempel Lipizzans’ breeding program comes directly from Piber, the

stud farm of the Spanish Riding School.

The 90-minute performance with a 15-minute intermission showcases dressage, which can be called music in

motion or ballet on horseback and includes the history of this classical art through the beauty of synchronized

movements, the harmony of partnership between horse and rider, and the impressive athleticism and training of

the airs above the ground movements. The performance chronicles the horses’ training from the youngest horses

to the most highly trained stallions all set to music. After the performance, you can tour the stables and meet the

equine stars, their riders and trainers.

The performance is in an outdoor arena with bleacher seating. All seating areas are covered, but not all areas

are always in the shade. You might want to bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a cushion. Seats are not

reserved. They are first come, first serve. A café, gift shop and portable restrooms are available on the grounds.

Outside food and beverages are not allowed. Water bottles are allowed. If it should rain, the performance will

be moved to their indoor training arena which is not air conditioned.

An early buffet lunch will be included at Golden Corral.

Call LLCC Admission & Registration Services at 786-2292 or go online to register for this trip before the 5

p.m. deadline on Thursday, June 7. The cost at time of registration is $43 for ALL members and $53 for

guests which covers your charter bus transportation and driver’s tip. There will be $35 Cash on the Bus (COB)

collected to cover the noon buffet lunch, performance, and WOW snacks and water. Please bring the exact

amount of COB. Our motor coach departs at 7 a.m. from the J.C. Penney’s south parking lot at the corner of

South Grand Avenue and Dirksen Parkway in Springfield and returns about 8 p.m. Comfort stops will be made

during the morning and afternoon driving. Note: Only partial refunds will be issued if cancellations are made

after the registration deadline. Please do not forget to wear your new ALL name tag for the trip.

July WOW trip – Chicago gangsters Join us on Wednesday, July 18 as we escape into Chicago’s underworld on a crime and mob bus tour. Our

“gangster” step-on guide will tell us how some of the world’s most famous criminals, mobsters and gangsters

like Al Capone and John Dillinger bamboozled their way through Chicago. We will also enjoy sightseeing

famous Chicago crime scenes from the 19th century through modern times such as the St. Valentine’s Day

Massacre, Chicago’s most notorious murder scene. Most of the tour will be on the bus, but at least one stop will

see us exploring a historic crime scene by foot.

From the Prez. . . This is my favorite time of year. The spring flowers are all in bloom, the weather is perfect for golf, walking,

bike riding and one day driving trips around the area. The bare spots on the lawn have filled in, and the

swimming pools are open and filled with families. It is a happy time of year.

For ALL, each June is the wrap-up of the year including passage of a budget and program plans for the new

ALL year beginning July 1st. I have many favorite moments from the past year, and I have great expectations

for ALL under the leadership of incoming president, Judy Wagenblast, her board and committee chairpersons. I

have some travel plans for June and the rest of the summer, but I look forward to participating as just another

ALL member at numerous upcoming programs and activities.

Some ALL programs cross our yearly schedules. Our involvement with the Illinois Bicentennial Celebration

is a current example, with its monthly lectures being offered to the community at the Illinois State Museum.

Some programs “take off” such as our recently launched mentoring program matching ALL members with

Lincoln Land Community College students who seek some career orientation or just want to discuss hobbies

such as gardening, travel and community theater. Our members have a rich variety of life experiences and

professional accomplishments. The first few mentoring matches have recently occurred, and more are expected

over the coming years. The Lincoln Land Career Development staff appreciate our availability.

Every ALL activist has his or her unique strengths and talents. I realized years ago that I am a strategic

planner. I’ve been involved with numerous community groups and units of government involved with short

term and long term planning needs or interests. At last year’s annual meeting, I promised our members that my

board and I would be addressing some structural issues that might never be apparent to the general membership,

but were important considerations to ALL as an organization. I won’t bore you with the details, but the issues

we examined and the directions we embraced were important to the future success of ALL. I leave the ALL

board in good hands and with a sense of pride in our current state and future as an organization.

I have one request of you personally. Please stay active in ALL as a membership recruiter, activist member

and friend.

Letter from the Liaison College For Kids: A wonderful step towards lifelong learning!

LLCC’s summer “College For Kids” program (CFK) offers children currently in kindergarten through eighth

grade the opportunity to explore new interests, discover exciting challenges, and develop new skills and

friendships along the way. Hmmmm, does that sound familiar??

If you are interested in encouraging early interest in lifelong educational enrichment, please consider sharing

the CFK opportunity with the young students in your life.

Given the opportunity to learn in a fun and unique environment, your grandchildren, neighborhood youth, and

the children of family and friends all have potential to become engaged, lifelong learners - just like you!

For details about how you can become involved as a CFK volunteer, please contact Jessica Ingold, youth

enrichment services coordinator at 786-4905. More information regarding our youth programs can be found
