SUMMARY:A Team of Her Own: Minnie Forbes & Negro League Baseball
DESCRIPTION:The last female owner of a Negro League baseball team will talk with former Grand Rapids Press columnist Jaye Beeler at Taste of Soul Sunday about playing softball at fifteen for Cook’s Brown Dolls\, a traveling team from Grand Rapids\, and playing baseball with the Kansas City Monarchs against the Grand Rapids Black Sox. When in 1956 Minnie Forbes took over her uncle Ted Rasberry’s team the Detroit Stars\, black baseball was winding down because of integration into the American major leagues. But\, along the way from player to owner\, Forbes interacted with such players as Satchel Page and Ozzie Guillen and visited the White House as the guest of President Barack Obama. This program will have two sessions\, at 1:30pm and 3:00pm. Co-sponsored by the Grand Rapids Study Club and the Greater Grand Rapids Women’s History Council.

SUMMARY:Links to the Local: Building a National Women's Elective History
DESCRIPTION:The historical charting of Grand Rapids women’s runs for public office upends conventional wisdom and offers surprises about dates\, the numbers of races\, and the identities of women who participated in local politics beginning in 1887. Julia Bouwkamp and Jo Ellyn Clarey will report on how the national crowdsourcing project Her Hat Was in the Ring invited local researchers to share their data with the world\, helping others complete and complicate American women’s history by seeking out every woman who ran before 1920. This unique historical accounting hopes to inspire cities across the nation to create their own comprehensive elective histories. \nPresented by Julia Bouwkamp & Jo Ellyn Clarey\nThis event is co-sponsored by the Greater Grand Rapids Women’s History Council and GVSU’s Office of Integrated Learning and Advising Community Reading Project.
