26sep6:00 pmDr. Tiya Miles Lecture

Event Details

The Savannah Victorian Society, Savannah State University’s Africana Studies Program, and the Andrew Low House Museum are pleased to host Dr. Tiya Miles, the Michael Garvey Professor of History and Radcliffe Alumnae Professor at Harvard University. On Tuesday, September 26, 2023, Dr. Miles will lecture about her book All That She Carried: The Journey of Ashley’s Sack, A Black Family Keepsake.

A New York Times bestseller, All That She Carried has won eleven historical and literary prizes, including the 2021 National Book Award for Nonfiction and the 2022 Cundill History Prize. The book was also named A Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, NPR, Publisher’s Weekly, The Atlantic, Time, and more.

In addition to All That She Carried, Miles has authored six other books, including three other prize-winning histories about race and slavery in the American past. Her other scholarly works include: The Dawn of Detroit, Tales from the Haunted South, The House on Diamond Hill, Ties That Bind, and the forthcoming Wild Girls: How the Outdoors Shaped the Women Who Challenged a Nation. Miles also publishes essays in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Atlantic, and other media outlets, and she has consulted with colleagues at historic sites and museums on representations of slavery, African American material culture, and the Black-Native intersectional past, including, most recently, the Fabric of a Nation quilt exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

Miles’s work has been supported by a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Award, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Her newest book is the debut time-bridge novel, The Cherokee Rose, a ghost story set in the plantation South and based on historical events.

Miles was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“The Africana Studies Program celebrates the opportunity to welcome Dr. Miles back to Savannah State University (SSU),” says Christina L. Davis, Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of Africana Studies at SSU. “Miles’ collective body of work reminds us of the importance of deeply investigating African American history, bringing to light important accounts of American Black experiences.”

Miles’s presentation is the third program hosted by the Savannah Victorian Society and Savannah State University’s Africana Studies Program, and marks the first year the Andrew Low House Museum has joined the partnership. Our goals include: providing opportunities to learn about history and culture of 19th-century African Americans; bringing together diverse Savannah audiences; and cultivating dialogue and contemplation about our collective and individual pasts.

“The Andrew Low House Museum is proud to join the SVS/ASP in bringing such an important story and a renowned author to Savannah,” said Rebecca Eddins, Executive Director, Andrew Low House Museum. “All That She Carried is a moving account of resilience and courage, and we are thrilled to collaborate on this program.”

Tania Sammons, President of the Savannah Victorian Society, agrees: “I am so pleased the collective efforts of our partner organizations, the City of Savannah’s Weave-A-Dream Program, and our sponsors have allowed us to bring to the Savannah community one of our country’s top historians.” She adds, “All That She Carried is a powerful history that weaves together so many elements of our shared American story and demonstrates the connectedness of people, material culture, and time.”

The ‘Take It Off: Fashion Podcast’ is partnering with Savannah’s favorite community radio station, WRUU 107.5 FM, to host this fundraiser for the station in the heart of downtown Savannah at King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Bar, Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, Savannah, GA, where local vendors will be on full display.

WRUU is partnering with many of Savannah’s local boutiques and designers to show off the latest and greatest of the unique fashions that are available in our community. This event will combine a jazzy aura with a prohibition-era speakeasy atmosphere. Hosting the show is award-winning local filmmaker Kareem McMichael. His brother GQ Smooth from the WRUU show Smooth Mic will be co-hosting with him.

Not only can people expect beautiful fashion from local boutiques, but there will also be entertainment for attendees through live entertainment.

Vendors will be at the event to show off local goods that may pair well with the fashion on the runway or something in the attendee’s own closet. We believe in the power of our local brands and products and want to support them.

Food and drinks may be purchased by guests courtesy of King Oliver’s Creole Jazz Bar. Tickets may be purchased through Eventbrite HERE. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this memorable evening and make a difference in our community.

When: October 5-8, 2023
Where: South Beach Parking Lot
More Info: tybeepiratefest.com

A Brief History
Tybee Pirate Fest began in 2005 with a small handful of individuals that were looking for a unique event to help boost visitation to the island in the off-season months. The first year was even more successful than the organizers, a non-profit called Tybeefest, even imagined it could be. With the support of many dedicated volunteers, The City of Tybee Island and its elected officials, the Tybee Island Tourism Council, and local businesses the event has grown in popularity each year.

There are lots of activities for families, loads of entertainment and a Thieves Market filled with treasure. The festival grounds have grown to encompass the entire South Beach Parking Lot by the Tybee Pier from Tybrisa Street to 18th Street. This website provides the history of the event and lots of other pirate stuff. Hope you find it useful and it helps you find your way to the Annual Pirate Fest on Tybee Island located only 20 minutes from Savannah GA historic district and the cobblestone River Street.
