SUMMARY:Laura Walls on the Women of the Thoreau Family
DESCRIPTION:Thank you for watching our forum! To participate in the question and answer session and chat with other viewers\, please visit the Museum’s YouTube page. \n \nAs we mark the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment\, historian Laura Dassow Walls will discuss Henry David Thoreau’s mother\, sisters\, and aunts based on her book\, Thoreau: A Life which the late Robert Richardson described as “the best all-around biography of Thoreau ever written.” \n \nLaura Dassow Walls is a Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame and author of Henry David Thoreau: A Life (Chicago University Press\, 2017).  This book\, the first full-length\, comprehensive biography of Thoreau in a generation\, draws on extensive new research and the full range of Thoreau’s published and unpublished writings to present Thoreau as vigorously alive in all his quirks and contradictions—fully embedded in his place and time\, yet speaking powerfully to the problems and perils of today. \nWalls’ biography Henry David Thoreau: A Life is available for in-store and curbside pickup as well as shipping via Media Mail thanks to our partners at the Concord Bookshop.  Order your copy here. \nPlease note that this forum is virtual.  Participants will be emailed a link to watch the program live on Thursday\, August 20. \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.

SUMMARY:Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter
DESCRIPTION:To participate in the question and answer session and chat with other viewers\, please visit the Museum’s YouTube page. \n \nKerri Greenidge\, Director of American Studies at Tufts University\, reestablishes William Monroe Trotter’s essential place in the pantheon of American civil rights heroes. For more than thirty years\, the Harvard-educated Trotter edited and published the Guardian\, a weekly Boston newspaper that was read across the nation. Trotter advocated for a radical vision of black liberation that prefigured leaders such as Marcus Garvey\, Malcolm X\, and Martin Luther King Jr. Join us as Greenidge unpacks this indefatigable figure whose underappreciated legacy in the pursuit of racial justice is as pertinent as ever. \nKerri Greenidge is the Director of American Studies at Tufts University. She received her Doctorate in American Studies from Boston University\, where her specialty included African-American history\, American political history\, and African-American and African diasporic literature in the post-emancipation and early modern era. Her research explores the role of African-American literature in the creation of radical Black political consciousness. She has taught at Boston University\, the University of Massachusetts\, and Emerson College. Her work includes historical research for the Wiley-Blackwell Anthology of African-American Literature\, the Oxford African American Studies Center\, and PBS. For nine years she worked as a historian for Boston African American National Historical Site in Boston\, through which she published her first book\, Boston Abolitionists (2006). \nProfessor Greenidge’s new book Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter can be ordered through the Concord Bookshop. \nPlease note that this forum is virtual.  Participants will be emailed a link to watch the program live on Tuesday\, September 22. \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. \nThis program is in partnership with the Robbins House.

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. Professor DeLucia completed a Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale\, an M.Litt. in Environmental History at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland\, and an A.B. in History and Literature at Harvard. \nProfessor DeLucia’s book Memory Lands: King Phillip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast will be available for signing in partnership with the Concord Bookshop.. \nPlease note that this forum is 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.

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.

SUMMARY:1774: The Long Year of Revolution 
DESCRIPTION:In her new book\, 1774: The Long Year of Revolution\, Cornell historian Mary Beth Norton chronicles the revolutionary change that occurred from December 1773 to April 1775 – from the Boston Tea Party and the first Continental Congress to the Battles of Lexington and Concord.  During those sixteen months\, the term “Loyalist” was first coined signaling the presence of the opposite phenomenon: individuals who were openly disloyal to the King. For revolution to occur the identification of the majority of colonists as loyal Britons had to change.  How and why they did so is the focus of her groundbreaking and original new research which she will discuss with Concord Museum’s Edward W. Kane Executive Director\, Tom Putnam. \nAt the conclusion of the hour-long forum\, the Concord Museum will unveil a new interactive Shot Heard Round the World microsite that uses the Museum’s artifacts and multimedia animations to bring the story of the iconic events of April 19\, 1775 to life. \nMary Beth Norton is the author of five books\, among them Founding Mothers & Fathers: Gendered Power and the Forming of American Society (1996)\, Separated by Their Sex: Women in Public and Private in the Colonial Atlantic World\, and In the Devil’s Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692\, and is coauthor of A People and a Nation\, a survey of U.S. history.  Norton is the Mary Donlon Alger Professor Emerita of American History at Cornell University.  She lives in Ithaca\, New York\, and on Martha’s Vineyard\, Massachusetts. \nProfessor Norton’s new book 1774: The Long Year of Revolution can be ordered through the Concord Bookshop. \nPlease note that this forum is virtual. \nThis program is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \nPhoto by Daniel Waters.\nPlease register for the program on the National Archives & Records Administration’s website. \nThank you to our partners\, Revolution 250 and National Archives & Records Administration.
