n Tuesday, October 30, Friends’ Central hosted pediatrician, professor, and noted public health advocate Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, whose research exposed the Flint water crisis. Dr. Hanna-Attisha, Friends’ Central’s inaugural Distinguished Justice Leader, is the author of What the Eyes Don’t See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City. In her visit to Friends’ Central, Dr. Mona, as she is called, met with groups of Lower, Middle, and Upper School students during the day and spoke to a sold-out crowd of Friends’ Central families and the greater community members in the evening. Dr. Hanna-Attisha was inspiring in her talks with students and adults of all ages, sharing with the community what led to uncovering the truth and dangers regarding the water in Flint, Michigan, as well as her thoughts on the reasons behind the inequity and what students can do to speak out against these injustices. Hanna-Attisha explained, “Flint is a great example of a world-wide problem in our country – how people in poorer communities don’t have the same access to basic amenities like clean water as others. What I want you to go away with is the importance of speaking up. You are all powerful people, no matter how old you are.” She also spoke about the importance of a team and working together. Dr. HannaAttisha explained, “It took a team of folks different from each other who came together to create change. I can’t stress the importance of a team and working together. There are issues you can fix in your area, and you can begin doing the work, together, now.” Dr. Hanna-Attisha first met with Lower School students in grades 4 and 5, who are in the midst of their fall project – the world of water – and have been studying water safety and access. Lower School Principal Kelly Bird shared, “Fifth graders connected Dr. Mona’s work to their work in the Light Lab and Project Oasis, looking at Dr. Hanna-Attisha’s process and considering the importance of not only identifying problems but also searching for solutions through scientific inquiry. Just as ‘Dr. Mona’ worked toward a just solution to the Flint water crisis, our students are engaged in the process of identifying renewable energy resources for their imagined societies. They also connected to the idea that each of us has rights protected by the government – one being the right to clean water. Today was unforgettable and transformative for all of us who had the chance to hear Dr. Mona. She made the lessons of inclusivity, being an upstander not a bystander, and working collaboratively come alive and feel real. I have no doubt that many if not all of our students will follow in Dr. Mona’s footsteps in their own way.” In her talks with Middle and Upper School students, Dr. Hanna-Attisha spoke about the importance of environmental and social justice, all through the lens of the events in Flint. Alexa Quinn, Middle School Principal, said, “Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha’s visit, as our inaugural Distinguished Visiting Justice Leader, was inspiring and uplifting at just the right time and in all the right ways. Middle School students were completely enthralled not only by Dr. Mona’s story but also with her intellect, warmth, the way she tied issues together, and with her message of hope. She encouraged students to speak up for what is right, even when it is hard, and to see themselves as being responsible for and connected to the well-being of other people -- whether locally or globally. We were truly privileged to learn from her example of how to ‘let our lives speak.’” In the Upper School, Dr. Hanna-Attisha met with smaller groups of students, the full Upper School student body, and the Friends’ Central Justice Core Team, a group of students passionate about issues of social and environmental justice, who prepared in advance for Dr. Hanna-Attisha’s visit. Upper School Principal Beth Johnson and Assistant Principal Bill Kennedy shared, “In addition to remarking on the ‘brilliance’ of our students, which they appreciated, Dr. Mona gave a rousing talk about the ways in which ordinary people, working together and guided by science, could (and did!) change their community for the better. She also spoke movingly about working through fear in order to serve a higher purpose and living out the ‘American dream,’ having come to the United States at the age of four. It was a most inspiring afternoon.”

Rick Springfield at Parx Casino

Dr. Howard Stevenson Deepens the Discussion on Racial Literacy

Continued from front page

He’s also a talented author—both his candid 2010 memoir “Late, Late at Night” (which Rolling Stone named one of the 25 greatest rock memoirs of all time) and his 2014 comedic novel “Magnificent Vibration” earned rave reviews and spots on the New York Times Best Sellers’ list. In 2013, Springfield wrote and recorded “The Man That Never Was” with Dave Grohl for the soundtrack to “Sound City”—the Foo Fighters’ frontman’s documentary about the San Fernando Valley recording studio that was Springfield’s home away from home (his manager owned the building). Rolling Stone called Springfield’s touching interview in the film its “breakout story.” In 2014, Springfield was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located around the corner from the first apartment he lived in when he first arrived in the U.S. from Australia in 1971. That Springfield has not only enjoyed longevity, but remained vibrant and relevant at a time when many veteran artists would be resting on past laurels led Rolling Stone to dub this stage of his career “The Rickonaissance.” “I guess it may appear like that, but in my head, I’ve never really left,” Springfield says. “I think it’s really important to stay connected to the vitality of your career. I have a certain pride that I’m not a total nostalgia act. I’ve never been the guy who hung the platinum albums on my walls because, to me, it was looking back. I’m very passionate about moving forward. I have to write new music. I have to record. I’m always working on the live shows. I have to always be working, otherwise I think I’d just turn to smoke and disappear.” Springfield’s latest musical effort is “The Snake King,” his 19h studio album, which he will release worldwide in January through Frontiers Music. Written by Springfield himself, “The Snake King” finds Rick traveling down a dusty dirt road to explore the blues side of his rock ‘n roll and marks a definite departure from the power pop he has been known for. A bluesrock album is the record that Springfield has “always wanted to make.” He explains, “All my first bands that I played in as a kid in Australia were blues bands, trying desperately to copy as best we could the amazing music we were hearing coming out of the Chicago blues scene and the older stuff from the deep South.” All you have to do now is check out the first couple cuts on the album, “In The Land Of The Blind” and “Little Demon” or maybe the title-track to get an understanding of the blues laden journey Rick wants to take you on. And of the many delights on this album, Rick’s underrated guitar playing really shines here, perhaps more so than on any album in his storied catalog. “My guitar playing was always influenced by the same guys who influenced all the English players I grew up with, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page, etc. Everyone was playing their version of what they heard from the Southern Blues and the Chicago scene.” The idea of a Blues record came to Rick while on the road performing a solo/songwriter show called ‘Stripped Down’ for the past 2 years and the show has included a couple of blues songs within this show, played on his steel resonator guitar. “The blues songs are so much fun to play and they got such a reaction from the audience that I started thinking about including some of that vibe in my next album.” As for the lyrics? Not what you’d expect either, but we’ll leave it up to the listener to decide what’s being relayed there. As Springfield explains, “And with the shape of humanity’s struggle against this amazing planet, I wanted the album to be more lyric driven, so, for better or for worse, it produced The Snake King. Good luck to us all!” Music has always been a healing force in the Australian-born Springfield’s life. The son of an Army officer, Rick and his family moved every two years. “Which meant every time I made a friend, I knew I’d be leaving him,” he says. “It was super stressful for me. I’d go to a new school and go through the trauma of trying to fit in.” Books and records became his savior. Then at age 11, he encountered his first guitar. “This kid brought one to a Christmas fair at my school in England and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen,” Springfield recalls. “He let me hold it. I hit two strings and the two strings happened to be the first couple of notes of the theme song to my favorite cowboy show at the time, Cheyenne. I realized instantly I could play the guitar. Some guys fall in love with cars, some with football teams. I fell in love with guitars.” It has been a long and fruitful affair, and one that has gifted him with a powerful connection to his legions of devoted fans, who pack his annual fan getaway events, as well as the nearly 100 shows a year he performs both with his band and solo in an intimate “storyteller” setting that he captured on the 2015 CD/DVD and concert film “Stripped Down.” Though too self-deprecating to discuss his immense appeal, he will acknowledge that the fans connect with him through the music. “I guess they think I’m honest,” he says. “They must like my approach, what I write about. I think they like that I have a sense of humor in it at times. Because the ‘cute’ thing isn’t going to last forever.” “The Stripped Down Tour” treats fans to a solo acoustical performance that fans will not want to miss!

Director of the Racial Empowerment Collaborative at the University of Pennsylvania Visits The Haverford School “The Lion’s Story Will Never Be Known as Long as the Hunter is the One to Tell It.” – African Proverb r. Howard Stevenson, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, visited The Haverford School on November 12 to discuss his racial literacy work

D

Racial literacy expert and University of Pennsylvania professor Dr. Howard Stevenson engages in discussion with The Haverford School’s Faculty Inclusion Committee, comprised of teachers from the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools. during the School’s faculty and staff in-service day. He also participated in a group session with the School’s Faculty Inclusion Committee, led by Director of Diversity and Inclusion Brendon Jobs. That evening, Haverford hosted a racial literacy parent education event in collaboration with The Agnes Irwin School. Dr. Stevenson opened by acknowledging that we all have different stories, and stories matter. “Belonging begins with embracing,” he said. “What is my narrative, what is my story, that I created? Fitting in is about shape-shifting: how do I shape-shift myself so other people aren’t uncomfortable and do not get upset by my different or my identity?” He led faculty through several partner exercises to practice talking about race and to move from “fitting in” to “belonging,” taking care to note the way participants presented themselves, the way they felt, and the way they conducted the exchange. He also challenged faculty and staff to think about how they would diffuse a racially tense situation in-the-moment, within two minutes. When we’re stressed out about our differences, he said, when we’re at an “8,” “9,” or “10,” we’re not our best; our judgement is impaired. “In the primitive way we react in these moments, we’re interested in our own safety more than anyone else’s,” said Dr. Stevenson. “8, 9, or 10 is not a healthy place to be. The question is in our work, racial literacy, how do you get to a 5, 6, or 7? Is there something you can do in less than two minutes to make a choice, a decision? “Racial encounters matter. The ideas that we have are important, the values that we have are important, but I’m not sure we’ve gotten lessons about how we translate those ideas and values to decisions that need to be made in less than two minutes. Believing in justice is not the same as doing justice.” Faculty and staff left the session enlightened about their own stories, the stories of their colleagues, and the most effective ways to facilitate and inform discussions about racial literacy in the classroom. Dr. Howard Stevenson is the Constance Clayton Professor of Urban Education, Professor of Africana Studies, in the Human Development & Quantitative Methods Division of the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a nationally recognized clinical psychologist and researcher on negotiating racial conflicts using racial literacy for independent and public K-12 schooling, community mental health centers, teachers, police, and parents. Dr. Stevenson’s research publications and clinical work involve developing culturally relevant “in-the-moment” strengths-based measures and therapeutic interventions that teach emotional and racial literacy skills to families and youth and have been funded by the W.T. Grant Foundation, the Annenberg Foundation, and the National Institutes of Mental Health and Child Health and Human Development.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING & ENTERTAINMENT

Acoustic Duo Ryanhood to Perform ansdowne Folk Club presents acoustic duo Ryanhood on Thursday, November 29, 2018. Held at the Twentieth Century Club, 84 S. Lansdowne Avenue, Lansdowne, PA, doors open at 7 p.m. and show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $17 when purchased in advance online or with an advanced phone reservation and $20 without an advance reservation. Parking is available on the street and at the SEPTA train station approximately one block away. For reservations, parking information, advance ticket sales and more information visit website www.folkclub.org, email Lfolkclub@gmail.com or call 484-466-6213. Cash only accepted at the door. Named “Best Group/Duo” in the 2014 International Acoustic From left – Ryan Green and Cameron Hood of Ryanhood Music Awards (IAMA’s), Ryanhood got their first break more than will perform 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 29, 2018 a decade ago as street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market. at the Twentieth Century Club, 84 S. Lansdowne Avenue, It was there that Ryan Green and Cameron Hood were spotted Lansdowne, PA. Photo/Donna Green by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene. The two first met in high school, where they were separated not just by a grade (Hood being a year older) but by a respectful rivalry between their two rock bands. Hood and Green would face off annually in the Battle Of The Bands, and although Hood’s band would ultimately win two out of the three competitions, Green managed to impress him and the rest of the school with his abilities on the guitar, which would ultimately earn him a scholarship to Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music. They soon took this high-energy, highly-interactive street-performers approach to the college market, where they quickly became one of the most popular bands on the circuit, playing upwards of 130 college dates a year. Cameron Hood’s rich and folky lead vocals, Ryan Green’s explosive guitar and mandolin riffs, and their airtight vocal harmonies prompted the Arizona Daily Star to call them, “a match made in radio heaven.” While currently residing in their hometown of Tucson, AZ, they have won more than a dozen Tucson Music Awards including “Best Folk Band” and “Best Rock Band” (You can decide for yourself which is most accurate.) Check them out at https://www.ryanhood.com. Another upcoming concert features John Gorka on January 24, 2019. Founded in 1993, the Lansdowne Folk Club is a 501(c) (3) all volunteer non-profit corporation dedicated to presenting folk, acoustic and blues music.

elebrate the holidays at the Betsy Ross House, 239 Arch Street with a variety of fun, seasonally-inspired events featuring food, entertainment and, of course, shopping. The holiday season officially kicks off Thanksgiving weekend with historic chocolate making demonstrations, sponsored by American Heritage® Chocolate, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, November 24. Visitors will meet two female entrepreneurs and learn how women played an active role during the American Revolution – from making important military supplies, like flags and musket cartridges, to choosing “patriotic” beverages like chocolate and coffee, rather than tea and sample the hot chocolate drink that colonists enjoyed. Carolers, History Makers and a tree lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 29 in the House’s courtyard will signal the start of Historic Holidays in Old City. Meet Betsy Ross, enjoy musical performances and seasonal sips and bites, and get the first peek at the new Old City District holiday tree designed by Old City’s Petit Jardin en Ville. Visitors can enjoy $1 off admission at the Betsy Ross House, which will offer extended hours until 8 p.m. At 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, December 2, the House will join the Old City Jewish Arts Center to host a community menorah lighting celebrating the first night of Chanukah, complete with traditional foods like latke, doughnuts and more. The OCJAC plans holiday-related children’s activities and a nightly menorah lighting during the Jewish holiday. Historic Holidays in Old City continues through the New Year, with beautiful window decorations throughout the district, a Holiday Market and more. The Betsy Ross House will offer special holiday-themed House tours, colonial chocolate making on Saturday, December 1 and a variety of activities highlighting all the season’s celebrations on Saturdays and Sundays through the month, including musical performances and crafts for children. Shop the Museum Store for unique holiday gift items, including a special commemorative ornament for collecting. The Betsy Ross House courtyard will also serve as the starting point for Historic Philadelphia, Inc.’s popular historic, holiday pub crawl, Yuletide Cheers & Beers. Tour-goers will step back in time into the holiday season in charming Old City, circa 1777, while enjoying winter brews and delicious snacks and four local taverns, 5:30 p.m. Thursdays, through December 27 (no tour on Thanksgiving). Tickets go quickly for this popular, holiday event, so reserve a spot by visiting historicphiladelphia.org or calling 215-629-4026. Everyone’s favorite New Year’s Eve party returns 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, December 31. Betsy’s Birthday Bash celebrates the January 1, 1752 birth of America’s most famous flag maker with colonial chocolate making, entertainment and, at 1 p.m., cake courtesy of City Tavern. The Betsy Ross House is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily in November and Tuesday through Sunday in December. The House is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

Photo/Bachrach Photography hilly’s favorite holiday tradition is back! KeyBank presents “A Philly POPS Christmas: Spectacular Sounds of the Season,” returning to the Kimmel Center stage with ten performances from December 1 - December 22. Music Director-Designate and former “Radio City Christmas Spectacular” conductor Todd Ellison makes his POPS Christmas debut by conducting an all-new, festive musical program, featuring the 65-piece POPS orchestra, “Hamilton” star Mandy Gonzalez, organist Peter Richard Conte, The Philly POPS Festival Chorus, the Philadelphia Boys Choir and the African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas Gospel Choir. The program features timeless pop and classic Christmas tunes, such as “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas,” as well as exciting new tunes. During the show, Jeff Kern, Philly POPS choral director and head of vocal studies at University of the Arts, will present his original choral arrangement of “Sleigh Ride,” written for 300 voices. Mandy Gonzalez, currently taking a star turn in “Hamilton” on Broadway will lead the POPS’ popular Christmas sing-along and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” As a nod to her Latina heritage, she will also perform “Feliz Navidad” and “Remember Me” from Disney’s “Coco.” Gonzalez will appear with the POPS during 6abc’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, where she will sing “Remember Me” to a live and televised audience of over one million people. Learn more about Mandy’s special appearance at the 6abc Thanksgiving Day Parade at www.6abc.com/parade. This year’s pre-concert entertainment will be from the More.fm choir competition (12/5 & 12/12), Calli Graver (12/8), Clearview Choir (12/14) and HOME: The Andrew Jackson Rock Band (12/15). In anticipation of the concert, Mandy will be visiting local schools that are impacted by our POPS in Schools program. This year, the POPS has designated the December 5 show a “Sensory Friendly” performance. Sensory Friendly performances create a welcoming environment for individuals and families who have sensory sensitivities, cognitive processing differences or anyone who may benefit from a relaxed performance environment. All are welcome to these performances. “A Philly POPS Christmas has become a tradition for Philadelphia families,” said Frank Giordano, President and CEO of The Philly POPS. “We kick off the holiday season for over 20,000 people annually with our one-of-a-kind Philly POPS holiday cheer. And with the addition of our Sensory Friendly show, we look forward to welcoming everyone to this wonderful holiday sensation.” The event is made possible by Presenting Sponsor KeyBank. Tickets: $35 - $160. Visit www.phillypops.org/christmas for tickets and performance details. Alongside these Christmas concerts, the POPS continues its “Salute Series” by presenting Comcast NBCUniversal’s “I’ll Be Home for Christmas: A Salute to the Military and First Responders”—the annual benefit concert where the POPS hosts 2,000 members of the military, police and fire departments and their families for an invite-only Christmas Spectacular. The evening also includes recognitions for the exemplary commitments of select service members. Tickets are not for sale to the public for that December 7 concert.
