SUMMARY:Doris Kearns Goodwin\, Harold Holzer\, and Ted Widmer on Abraham Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:        Historians Doris Kearns Goodwin\, Harold Holzer\, and Ted Widmer discuss the life and times of Abraham Lincoln prompted by Ted Widmer’s new book Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington which evokes the train journey from Springfield to Washington as Lincoln prepared to become the nation’s 16th president.  In a review in the Wall Street Journal\, Harold Holzer writes: “In a wholly original\, gorgeously crafted reimagining\, Mr. Widmer portrays Lincoln’s demanding journey as a Homeric odyssey through perilous terrain toward almost preordained immortality…Mr. Widmer brings off his panoramic\, almost mythical interpretation with riveting panache.  His book is not only a historical achievement but a literary one.” \n \nAt 7:00 p.m. the Museum will bestow the 2020 Robert Gross Award for the Advancement of Concord’s History to Michael Goodwin\, founder of the Rivers and Revolutions program at Concord-Carlisle High School.  The forum will then begin around 7:30 p.m. \nTed Widmer’s new book Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington can be ordered through the Concord Bookshop. \nPlease note that this forum and award ceremony are virtual.  Participants will be emailed a link to watch the program live. \nThis is a free event.  Donations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives. \nThis program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \nImages from left to right: Ted Widmer\, Doris Kearns Goodwin\, Harold Holzer\, and Michael Goodwin teaching.

SUMMARY:Memory Lands
DESCRIPTION:Due to the high winds and power outages in the area\, the forum has been rescheduled for Thursday\, October 8 at 7:00 p.m. Thank you for your understanding\, and we hope you can join us tonight!\nTo participate in the question and answer session and chat with other viewers\, please visit the Museum’s YouTube page. \n \nWilliams College historian Christine DeLucia will discuss her book\, Memory Lands\, in which she reconsiders the markers\, monuments\, and “memoryscapes” that memorialize King Philip’s War alongside the processes that alternatively repress and recover Indigenous histories of survival and adaptation. The Concord Museum’s new permanent exhibition\, The People of Musketaquid\, will serve as a case study on how museums present this complicated history to public. \nChristine DeLucia is Assistant Professor of History at Williams College. She focuses on Native American/ Indigenous and early American topics. Her research\, teaching\, and writing involve community collaborations\, decolonizing approaches to archives\, museums\, and knowledge circulation\, and socially transformative ways of connecting past\, present\, and future. Memory Lands: King Philip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast is her first book. Prior to Williams\, Professor DeLucia was a member of the history faculty at Mount Holyoke College. In 2018-2019\, she held a research fellowship at Chicago’s Newberry Library to work on her second book\, a study of Native communities’ complex modes of dwelling\, adaptation\, and sovereignty in the 18th-century Northeast.

SUMMARY:Applying History to Present Challenges
DESCRIPTION:To participate in the chat and ask speakers questions\, please visit the Museum’s YouTube page. \n \n  \nAs battles continue to rage over Confederate War monuments and with the future of American cities so uncertain\, historical experience can help inform understanding and action. Join Harvard Professor and former Dean of the Radcliffe Institute Lizabeth Cohen in a conversation on how a well-informed historical perspective can equip us to revisit public memorials\, monuments\, and exhibits; to address mounting racial tensions; and to develop effective public policy. Professor Cohen will also discuss her newest book\, Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age\, which recently won the prestigious Bancroft Prize in American History\, and how the lessons learned from urban renewal efforts in the 1960’s and 1970’s can be applied to the challenges we face today. \nLizabeth Cohen is the Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies and a Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of History at Harvard. From 2011-18 she was the dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Professor Cohen has published a popular textbook and multiple books\, including Making a New Deal: Industrial Workers in Chicago\, 1919-1939\, winner of the Bancroft Prize and a finalist for the Pulitzer. Among many awards and honors\, Professor Cohen has been a fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, the American Council of Learned Societies\, and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She received her Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley and her A.B. from Princeton University. \nProfessor Cohen’s book Saving America’s Cities: Ed Logue and the Struggle to Renew Urban America in the Suburban Age will be available in partnership with the Concord Bookshop. \nThis program is part of the Concord Festival of Authors. \nPlease note that this forum is virtual.
