Partner, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP

Mr. Dowd, the attorney who represented the heirs of Fritz Grunbaum, a Jewish cabaret performer who owned Egon Schiele's painting Dead City until it was seized by the Nazis, recounts his efforts to restitute this stolen artwork. Through a lively visual presentation, learn the fascinating tale of Dead City's provenance, the battles to recover art stolen from Jewish Holocaust victims, the undisclosed role of the Swiss in laundering looted art for the Nazis, and the implications for U.S. museums holding artworks of European origin.

Archaeology in the Technology Age: A look at Technology’s Impacts on Archeology with Emphasis on Hamilton County’s Hahn Site

Robert A. Genheimer, RPA

George Rieveschl Curator of Archaeology, Cincinnati Museum Center

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Archeology, the discipline known for long, laborious, and delicate digs, has been changed dramatically in the last few decades by the use of new technologies. At the forefront of these technologies is remote sensing by non-invasive tools that provide real clues to what lies below the ground without actually digging.

In his lecture, Genheimer shares with us how these new technologies are being used at the Hahn Site, a late prehistoric agricultural village in Eastern Hamilton County. At this site, technology enables archeologists to better understand the layout and makeup of the site and to direct field investigation.

Picking Cotton: Our Memoir of Injustice and Redemption

Jennifer Thompson –Cannino & Ronald Cotton

Thursday, September 17, 2009

Our inaugural lecture is a true and inspiring story that challenges our ideas of memory and judgment while demonstrating the power of human grace and forgiveness.

In July 1984, Thompson-Cannino, a white college student in Burlington, N.C., was raped by a black intruder. She identified her assailant in a lineup as Ronald Cotton. He was sentenced to life plus 50 years in jail. Eight years later, DNA evidence at a new trial exonerated him of the charges. When Thompson-Cannino and Cotton met face to face, they forged an unlikely friendship that changed both their lives.

Presented in partnership with The University of Cincinnati College of Law,

Rosenthal Institute for Justice/Ohio Innocence Project

and the YWCA of Greater Cincinnati.
