He was called a negro-stealer because he participated in the Iowa Underground Railroad. J.B. Grinnell and other Grinnell residents helped at least 37 fugitive slaves who passed through their town before the Civil War. But some residents opposed this work. David Connon will tell a story of racism\, noble actions and conflict. He will highlight abolitionist John Brown’s visit to Grinnell\, and Grinnell’s first riot over the presence of fugitive slaves in the public school.

This presentation illustrates how Sayre had to redefine the accepted characterization of women on farms not only to fulfill her own pursuits as a writer and speaker\, but also to convince farm women that they were not exempt from the responsibility of postwar reconstruction. Sayre’s papers are housed at the State Historical Society of Iowa\, in Iowa City. This project features materials included in the archive.

This presentation includes segments from a documentary by the same name\, featuring vintage broadcasts and interviews with the journalists who covered conflicts from World War II to the first Gulf War: a 50-year span. Iowa broadcast historian Jeff Stein\, the documentary producer\, tells of the challenges the reporters faced in doing their jobs relaying information to a waiting audience and\, at times\, reassuring them of the safety of Iowans serving thousands of miles away.

After all\, some 76\,500 residents fought for the North. In reality\, Iowa Democrats formed a spectrum of dissent. The majority of Democrats opposed abolishing slavery (and yet favored the Union war effort); the minority sympathized with the South. Out of this group\, at least 60 Iowa residents served the Confederacy. This talk will focus on four or five of them. David Connon will explore their motivations and describe their pre-war\, war-time\, and post-war experiences. After each soldier’s story\, he will invite audience members to share their observations.

The program is free to the public and sponsored by the Davenport Civil Rights Commission and Davenport Public Library.  A discussion will follow the 27-minute film. \nRiding the Rails to Hero Street\, part one in the Rundles’ Hero Street documentary series\, tells the story of the immigrants’ journey from Mexico to Cook’s Point in Davenport\, Holy City in Bettendorf\, Iowa\, and the Chicago\, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad train yards and boxcar homes in Silvis\, Illinois.  The families experienced both acceptance and discrimination in their new communities. Around the time of the great depression\, the families were removed from the rail yards and some moved box cars or built new homes on 2nd Street in Silvis.  Only a block and a half long\, the street lost six young men in World War II and two in the Korean War\, more than any other street in America.  Hero Street\, as it is now known\, has provided over 150 service members since World War II. \nThe multi-part Hero Street documentary series will explore the personal and family sagas behind the eight heroes and tell the compelling true story of an ongoing struggle to memorialize Tony Pompa\, Frank Sandoval\, William Sandoval\, Claro Soliz\, Peter Masias\, Joseph Sandoval\, Joseph Gomez and John S. Muños. \nRiding the Rails to Hero Street was partially funded by Humanities Iowa through Fourth Wall Films’ fiscal sponsor the Moline Foundation. \n  \nVisit www.HeroStreetMovie.com for more information.
