You do not have to attend every meeting or read every book to participate. In addition to monthly book discussions\, the book club meets periodically for curatorial programs related to the book selections.  \nBooks are selected in advance and planned according to the museum’s exhibition schedule. Participants are expected to procure their own copy of the titles. Selections are also available at the NOMA Museum Shop\, where museum members receive a 10% discount. \nRegister Now \nMeetings are held in person or via Zoom. All meetings begin at 12 pm. For more information or questions\, please email programs@noma.org. \n\nAbout the Book\nHow the Word Is Passed: A Reckoning with the History of Slavery Across America\nby Clint Smith\n\n\nBeginning in his hometown of New Orleans\, Clint Smith leads the reader on an unforgettable tour of monuments and landmarks—those that are honest about the past and those that are not—that offer an intergenerational story of how slavery has been central in shaping our nation’s collective history\, and ourselves. \nIt is the story of the Monticello Plantation in Virginia\, the estate where Thomas Jefferson wrote letters espousing the urgent need for liberty while enslaving more than four hundred people. It is the story of the Whitney Plantation\, one of the only former plantations devoted to preserving the experience of the enslaved people whose lives and work sustained it. It is the story of Angola\, a former plantation-turned-maximum-security prison in Louisiana that is filled with Black men who work across the 18\,000-acre land for virtually no pay. And it is the story of Blandford Cemetery\, the final resting place of tens of thousands of Confederate soldiers. \nA deeply researched and transporting exploration of the legacy of slavery and its imprint on centuries of American history\, How the Word Is Passed illustrates how some of our country’s most essential stories are hidden in plain view—whether in places we might drive by on our way to work\, holidays such as Juneteenth\, or entire neighborhoods like downtown Manhattan\, where the brutal history of the trade in enslaved men\, women\, and children has been deeply imprinted. \nInformed by scholarship and brought to life by the story of people living today\, Smith’s debut work of nonfiction is a landmark of reflection and insight that offers a new understanding of the hopeful role that memory and history can play in making sense of our country and how it has come to be.

Batiste performed his moving rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner on this instrument in the Caesars Superdome during the Super Bowl pregame show. \nThis series celebrates the piano’s residency at NOMA and pays homage to the musical history of New Orleans by inviting New Orleans–based musicians to offer intimate sets in NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, which also features bas-relief murals by Enrique Alférez. \nThis installment of the Butterfly Music Series will feature pianist Henrietta Alves. Previous performers have included Amina Figarova\, David Torkanowsky\, Tonya Boyd Cannon\, Sam Kuslan\, and others. \nAttendance is included with museum admission. Preregistration for this event is recommended. Seating is limited and not guaranteed with attendance. \nRegister Now \n\nAbout Henrietta Alves\nHenrietta Alves—called “a New Orleans legend” by WWOZ\, “the Amazing Henrietta” by AntiGravity Magazine\, and introduced by Quint Davis as “a New Orleans institution”—has been a beloved local musician and songwriter for more than 40 years. Her popular Mardi Gras song was recorded with Smokey Johnson (Fats Domino’s drummer) and George French (Fats’ bassist and Cosimo Matassa studio musician). She began recording in the early 1970s in Memphis with producer Willie Mitchell and has contributed to numerous New Orleans projects\, including a jazz album with Flora Purim and a WEZB compilation of the city’s top pop acts. \nA versatile\, ageless singer now in her 80s\, Henrietta performs weekly at Holy Diver in Tremé and has maintained a strong presence across the region for 45 years with regular appearances at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro\, Pat O’Brien’s Piano Bar\, and Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club in Biloxi. She’s performed Brazilian jazz at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival — she and bandleader Edu were famously the first couple married at Jazz Fest in 1982 — and has sung the National Anthem at Saints games on multiple occasions.\n\nOn television she’s frequently cast as the quintessential “older New Orleans–style singing pianist\,” appearing in series such as HBO’s Togetherness and TNT’s Claws. Nationally she’s performed at iconic venues including the Troubadour\, Chateau Marmont\, the Roosevelt Hotel (L.A.)\, Catch a Rising Star and Mimi’s Piano Bar (NYC). Internationally she has brought her New Orleans–inflected music to audiences in Japan\, Italy and Brazil\, and she has played private events for corporations and celebrities. Renowned for her warm\, intimate connection with audiences\, Henrietta continues to captivate crowds of any size.\nAbout the Work\nFor a limited time\, NOMA visitors have the unique opportunity to see the custom piano played by acclaimed musical artist Jon Batiste during the Super Bowl LIX pregame show. On view in the museum’s Lapis Center for the Arts\, the vibrant and colorful grand piano features a design by artist and bestselling author Suleika Jaouad\, who is Batiste’s wife. \nLEARN MORE URL:https://noma.org/event/butterfly-music-series-henrietta-alves/ LOCATION:NOMA’s Lapis Center for the Arts CATEGORIES:Performances,Butterfly Music Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://noma.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/butterfly-music-series.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251117T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251117T190000 DTSTAMP:20251029T003151 CREATED:20221230T201031Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221230T201031Z UID:88969-1763402400-1763406000@noma.org SUMMARY:Tai Chi in the Besthoff Sculpture Garden DESCRIPTION:Explore movement and meditation during outdoor tai chi classes in NOMA’s Besthoff Sculpture Garden every Monday evening.  \nClass is $10; $5 for NOMA members.
