We’ll be visiting the Shenzhen Mangrove Nature Reserve (Neilingding area)—a place that is not typically open to the public. With guidance from on-site experts, we’ll get a closer look at the mangrove ecosystem and these “hidden guardians” of the city’s environment. As an ecologically sensitive and protected area, access to the reserve requires prior approval and border control clearance. This makes the visit not just a regular outing, but a rare opportunity to experience and learn from nature up close. Compared to our past service activities, this one is more of an immersive exploration and learning experience. 📅 Date & Time: Sunday, May 10 | 09:30–11:30 📍 Location: Shenzhen Mangrove Nature Reserve (Neilingding) 👥 Capacity: Limited to 20 participants (advance registration and approval required) 📩 Registration: Please DM Janet directly (first come, first served) Shenzhen Mangrove Nature Reserve (Neilingding) — No. 1 Hongshulin Road, Futian District true

      Add to Calendar 2026-05-13T12:30:00 2026-05-13T13:45:00 America/New_York GLC@Lunch: “Blackface Minstrelsy and the Birth of American Popular Culture: A New History” Wednesday, May 13, 2026, 12:30—1:45pm | Hybrid In person at Yale University, Rosenkranz Hall, Room 241, 115 Prospect Street, New Haven Online via zoom Note: In-person seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. K. Stephen Prince (GLC Research Affiliate; Charles Phelps Manship, Jr. Professor of History, Louisiana State University) The blackface minstrel show was responsible for many of the nineteenth century’s most harmful depictions of African Americans. Performers trafficked in crude dialect, slapstick humor, and dehumanizing depictions of Black animalism and savagery, casting slavery as a benevolent institution and questioning the desirability – even possibility – of Black freedom. Scholars have long recognized the formative role that minstrelsy played in the elaboration of American racial ideologies. But the minstrel show was more than a catalog of harmful stereotypes. It was also a thriving entertainment juggernaut, one that had a permanent foothold in every major American city and stretched from coast to coast. Blackface acts and minstrel stereotypes were endlessly replicated, brought to life nightly in playhouses nationwide, for decades. We cannot fully understand the insidious ideological influence of the minstrel show until we recognize it as a veritable amusement industry and the first truly national form of popular culture.
