SUMMARY:Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks 2025: The Art of War – Panel #1
DESCRIPTION:Learn More Here \nPanel #1: Things They Carried: An African Philosophy on War\, Surviving Enslavement and CItizenship  \nFebruary 2\, 2025 | 2 PM | Portsmouth Public Library \nAfrican societies had deep-rooted traditions of military strategy and guerrilla warfare\, often used to defend against invaders or internal conflict. Enslaved Africans carried these traditions with them\, applying their knowledge of strategy\, resistance\, and rebellion to push back against oppression. \nThis panel will explore how African philosophies of war and cosmology helped enslaved Africans endure and cope with the trauma of enslavement. Panelists will discuss how these spiritual and communal frameworks fostered resilience\, resistance\, and hope\, empowering the enslaved to recognize their internal strength and resist dehumanization. \nMore details to come.  \n

SUMMARY:Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks 2025: The Art of War – Panel #2
DESCRIPTION:Learn More HERE \nPanel #2: Hopes and Impediments: War and Strategies for Belonging \nFebruary 9\, 2025 | 2 PM | Portsmouth Public Library \nThe principle of maneuvering in war emphasizes flexibility and adapting to changing conditions. Historically\, African Americans had to navigate oppressive political and social environments\, using spiritual and cultural tools to maneuver within systems designed to suppress them. \nThis session will highlight how\, rather than passively accepting their imposed status\, African and African American involvement in early wars like the Revolutionary War and the Civil War was both an offensive strategy and a spiritual defiance against a society that deemed them inferior. \nMore details to come.

SUMMARY:Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks 2025: The Art of War – Panel #3
DESCRIPTION:Learn More Here \nPanel #3: The Great Migration: Military Service and the Shaping of a Diversified New Hampshire \nFebruary 16\, 2025 | 2 PM | Portsmouth Public Library \nIn The Art of War\, Sun Tzu highlights the importance of using terrain to one’s advantage. For African Americans\, navigating the U.S. political and social landscape often required knowing when and where to engage. Many viewed military service as a means of achieving social mobility\, financial security\, and proving their patriotism. \nThis panel will examine the integration of military bases in New Hampshire—such as Pease\, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard\, and Grenier in Manchester—and how these bases contributed to the state’s diversification. Panelists will also discuss how military service became a tool for asserting rights and claiming full citizenship. \nMore details to come.

SUMMARY:Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks 2025: The Art of War – Panel #4
DESCRIPTION:Learn More Here \nPanel #4: Eyes on the Prize: Protests\, Movements\, and the Road Ahead \nFebruary 23\, 2025 | 2 PM | Portsmouth Public Library \nAfrican American civic movements and participation in wars have often been driven by deep moral and ethical goals—freedom\, equality\, and human dignity. The Civil Rights Movement\, for instance\, was led by individuals who invoked faith as a unifying force\, drawing from Christian theology\, African spiritual traditions\, and a collective consciousness of liberation. Effective leadership\, like in The Art of War‘s “unity of command\,” was essential. Many African American leaders were inspirational not just through strategy but through moral and spiritual authority\, grounding their calls for justice in deeply held spiritual principles. \nThis panel will explore African American protest movements\, past and present\, focusing on nonviolence and self-determination. Panelists will discuss the current state of these movements\, highlighting African American spiritual resilience\, the strength of unity\, and the enduring importance of community. \nMore details to come.
