The story of a rabbi kicked out of Nazi Germany, Joachim Prinz spent the rest of his life fighting for the rights of both the Jewish people and African-Americans. In Berlin in the 1930’s, the civil rights of Jews were systematically stripped away.
A young rabbi refused to be silent. His name was Joachim Prinz and he set out to restore the self-esteem of the German Jews. Knowing the Nazis were monitoring his every word, and despite repeated arrests, Prinz continued to preach about the value of Judaism. He saved many lives by encouraging Jews to emigrate from Germany. Expelled from Germany in 1937, Prinz arrived in the United States, and became a leader in the civil rights movement speaking out for justice, unconcerned with the popularity of his positions.

Colin Aberdeen is known in Central New York as the front man for Los Blancos.
When he’s not armed with an electric guitar for shows with the band, Colin transforms into a down-home solo performer of original and traditional blues. He plays an extensive repertoire of delta slide and piedmont blues while engaging audiences with soulful vocals and a stage presence of wit and charm all his own. The voice, the guitar, the stories — they just get better when stripped to their elements.

On the Table with artist Laura Cosgrave….. The table allows visitors to sit and look at a drawing, taking time to become immersed in the artwork, as one might with a book.
She will be presenting drawings based on the front page of “The New York Times”. Basically, this is a conceptual art project involving the front page, India ink and hand made paper. The project was started in 2011 and is ongoing. She plans to present both the drawing and the actual front page of a particular date; for example, February 19, 2013, so that visitors can make the connection between the actual front page and its stories and the drawing/collage that resulted from reading and thinking about events.
