SUMMARY:NEW TIME: 6:30pm. First Tuesday: Peter Sagar on History of the NUT in the North East
DESCRIPTION:The National Union of Teachers\, founded in 1870\, ceased to be on 1st January 2019\, as it merged fully with the Association of Teachers and Lecturers to become a new union\, the National Education Union. \nThis seemed to be an appropriate time to write a history of the NUT in North East England\, to chart its successes and its failures\, how it worked independently and how it worked in tandem with the rest of the union and labour movement. The result is a fascinating story\, which should be of interest to any teacher\, to any trade unionist and to anybody with an interest in the regional history of North East England.\nPeter Sagar will guide us through this history\, but in many respects do a lot more than this. He will also highlight the numerous ways in which we can learn from the history and use the knowledge to revive the trade union movement as we enter the third decade of the 21st century. \nThis will be a presentation which you should find both interesting and thought provoking.

SUMMARY:EVENT CANCELLED. Northumbria University: Will Kaufman performs a live documentary - Woody Guthrie and “Old Man Trump”
DESCRIPTION:This event has been cancelled. The organisers hope to reschedule it and we will post once the new details become available.\n  \nAmerican Studies at Northumbria\, in collaboration with the Institute of the Humanities and the Tyneside Branch of the Historical Association present  \nWoody Guthrie and “Old Man Trump” \n  \nIn December 1950\, Woody Guthrie moved his family into a new apartment in Brooklyn’s Beach Haven. His new landlord\, it turned out\, was none other than Fred Trump\, father of the current US president. Over 60 years later\, Donald Trump would proclaim on the campaign trail: “My legacy is my father’s legacy.” It was\, among other things\, a legacy of corruption and race-hatred\, as Woody Guthrie soon found out.  \nWill Kaufman – singer\, multi-instrumentalist\, and Professor of American Studies at the University of Central Lancashire – is recognised as the world’s leading authority on Woody Guthrie. He is the author of Woody Guthrie\, American Radical (2011)\, Woody Guthrie’s Modern World Blues (2017)\, and Mapping Woody Guthrie (2019). \nIn 2014\, Will discovered\, buried in the Guthrie archives\, previously unpublished song lyrics and other writings condemning Fred Trump’s racism. He has now turned these discoveries into a new music and a spoken-word presentation\, following on from his celebrated shows\, Woody Guthrie: Hard Times and Hard Travelin’ and Woody Guthrie: The Long Road to Peekskill. \nWoody Guthrie and “Old Man Trump” brings to life all the anger and contempt that Guthrie felt for those in power who will deny justice to their fellow human beings on account of the colour of their skin. Against the backdrop of Guthrie’s racial awakening and emergent activism\, Will introduces such previously unheard songs as “Trump Made a Tramp Out of Me” and “Beach Haven Ain’t My Home\,” along with a host of other Guthrie songs about racial injustice and struggle. All in all\, we hear Woody Guthrie speaking and singing from beyond the grave\, warning us about the dangers of ignoring and repeating history. \n  \nPraise for Will Kaufman: \nListen up all you Jim Crow fascists and you race-hate mongers\, too:\nWill Kaufman is a-comin’ and he’s got his eye on you.\nWon’t brake for no excuses\, won’t stand no messin’ around\,\nYour bigot ways can’t save you ’cause Will Kaufman’s gonna run you down.\n– Ry Cooder \nNo one can understand the American people without listening to Woody Guthrie. Will Kaufman’s doing important work here. – Tom Paxton\n\nI thank Will Kaufman for introducing a new generation of Europeans to “the other America.” It’s a wonderful job he’s doing. – Pete Seeger\n\nWill presents this exhilarating show in the fastest hour and a half you are likely to witness when you consider the breadth and depth of his subject. He performs Woody’s songs with great skill and understanding\, playing the guitar\, banjo and fiddle with enviable panache and brio. His presentation is accomplished with great musicality\, wit\, honesty\, and compassion.  – Ralph McTell\n\nI so appreciate all of your efforts to take his legacy further. Who knows where he’ll end up! – Nora Guthrie\n \n \nwww.willkaufman.com

SUMMARY:Tyne Bank Brewery: Five Centuries of the Tyne
DESCRIPTION:From Leona Skelton\, Northumbria University \nI’ve organised a free Tyne history event with Tyne Rivers Trust at the Tyne Bank Brewery on Tuesday 24 March\, 5.00pm – 8.00pm which I think NELHS members could get a lot out of\, even though it’s focused on the management of the river first and foremost rather than labour history. Attendees need to register for a free ticket at the following link as places are limited. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/96057070283 \nThis a fun\, informal\, social event providing an opportunity to learn about the experiences and challenges of Tyne managers and conservators over five centuries. The evening comprises a pub quiz\, archival stories\, interactive discussions and a presentation to inspire us all to consider the challenges of working\, living and playing with the River Tyne over a longer-term chronology. \nUsing a ‘Tyneline’\, we will debate how and why our relationships with the Tyne have changed so dramatically over time and what this might mean for the river’s future. A buffet will be provided free of charge and the brewery bar will be open. \nThe event will be led by Dr. Leona Skelton\, an environmental historian of water\, rivers and sanitation infrastructure in Britain (1500 – present) at Northumbria University\, and author of Tyne after Tyne: An Environmental History of a River’s Battle for Protection\, 1529 – 2015
