SUMMARY:Free Virtual Lunch Lecture: Howard Kennedy School
DESCRIPTION:In honor of Black History Month\, join DCHS Collections Assistant Elise O’Neil for a free virtual Lunch Lecture about the history of Howard Kennedy Elementary School. \nA historically African American school\, Kennedy has been through many significant iterations since its founding as the Omaha View School in 1886. Elise became interested in this history while working at the school from 2016 to 2018. This led her to create an online archive with over 450 primary source photographs and documents relating to the school for her capstone project while pursuing an MA at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Drawing from this resource\, the talk will include a retrospective on successful school programs\, a discussion about integration in OPS\, and nods to notable alums such Charles Washington\, Gale Sayers\, and Elizabeth Davis Pittman. \nTime: Friday\, February 25 at 12:00 PM \nRSVP by February 24th by calling (402) 455-9990 Ext 102. \nOr simply join us by clicking this Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86841984858

SUMMARY:Women Defining History Luncheon and Runway Show
DESCRIPTION:The Women Defining History Luncheon is at capacity! Thank you for your interest. \nJoin us as we present our 11th annual Women Defining History Luncheon and Runway Show on Friday\, April 8\, 2022 at the Field Club of Omaha. \nEach year this event honors a local woman who inspires\, challenges\, and serves as a model to strengthen our community through philanthropic outreach\, historic preservation\, or courageous efforts with our Women Defining History Award. We are delighted to announce the 2022 Women Defining History Award honoree will be Kathy Gross. Kathy has stepped up to help enumerable nonprofit organizations in our community. Her willingness to pitch in and help wherever there is a need has benefitted Douglas County Historical Society\, Salvation Army\, The Nebraska Humane Society\, Heartland Family Services\, Joslyn Castle\, CHI Health and more! \nDuring these challenging past couple years\, we find ourselves at home more than ever. For many\, loungewear is our new uniform. This year\, we will look back to loungewear of decades past\, from embroidered linen nightgowns of the Edwardian era\, to mid-century quilted housecoats\, to frilly lingerie sets of the 1970s. Settle in and get comfortable as fashion historian Sue McLain of “Yesterday’s Lady” leads us on a fashion journey through the decades. Our mission here at DCHS is to invite the people of Omaha to celebrate their local history and learn more about their home. \nOur annual vintage runway show is one way we connect with our community and bring history to life in a fun and unique way. Proceeds from the event will help support artifact preservation. \nDoors open at 11am for the pre-event Patron Champagne Reception\, which includes early access to the vintage jewelry sale\, raffle\, and silent auction. Doors open for general admission ticket holders 11:30 am\, with the lunch and presentation starting at noon. \n\nThe Women Defining History Luncheon is at capacity! Thank you for your interest. \n\nFor more information\, please call 402-455-9990. Thank you for your support!
