SUMMARY:Disunion Among Ourselves: The Perilous Politics of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:This program has been canceled. Please visit our Calendar for other upcoming Forums.\n \nVanderbilt political historian and best-selling author Eli Merritt reveals the deep political divisions that almost tore the Union apart during the American Revolution. Despite their differences\, the nation’s founders united for the sake of liberty and self-preservation\, forging grueling compromises to hold the nation together. Merritt’s book serves as a reminder that commitment to ethical constitutional democracy and compromise helped the founders overcome far tougher times than our own\, and it resonates with our present era of political hyperpolarization and serves as a touchstone for contemporary politics. \n“Eli Merritt deftly explores a revolutionary America rife with divisions and driven by a fear of civil wars on multiple fronts. Deeply researched\, wide-ranging\, and insightful\, Disunion Among Ourselves persuades that our national Union began from\, and still depends on\, fending off the many demons of disunion.”—Alan Taylor\, author of American Revolutions: A Continental History\, 1750-1804 \nThis forum is supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund and the Massachusetts Society of the Cincinnati. \nPlease register using the form below.

SUMMARY:A Wing and a Prayer: The Race to Save Our Vanishing Birds
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Anders and Beverly Gyllenhaal on their new book\, A Wing and a Prayer: The Race to Save Our Vanishing Birds. The book is the result of a 25\,000-mile journey across the Americas in 2021\, which they spent documenting the efforts of ornithologists and conservationists to save the world’s birds\, almost universally threatened by anthropogenic forces like habitat destruction and climate change. Anders and Beverly Gyllenhaal relay what is being done to save birds in the midst of dramatic downturns in North American populations. \nAnders and Beverly Gyllenhaal are veteran journalists who’ve worked for decades as reporters and editors. Beverly was a feature writer\, then food editor\, and finally syndicated columnist and cookbook author. Her Desperation Dinners series has a quarter million copies in print. Anders was an investigative reporter at The Miami Herald\, then went on to lead newsrooms in Raleigh\, Minneapolis\, Miami and Washington. He’s long been active in journalism circles\, serving on the board of the Pulitzer Prizes\, Society of Newspaper Editors and Journalism Funding Partners. As their work slowed down\, they started following birds and photographing and writing about them for magazines and newspapers around the country. They also publish a photo-rich website\, FlyingLessons.US: What We’re Learning from the Birds. \nCo-Sponsored by Mass Audubon. \nThe Gyllenhaals will be signing books after their talk.  Copies of A Wing and a Prayer may be purchased at the Forum or in advance from the Mass Audubon online store and picked up at the event (please select “Pick up in-store” and add an order note “Bring to July 11th event”). \nForums are supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.

SUMMARY:Interwoven: Women's Lives Written in Thread
DESCRIPTION:Our current special exhibition\, Interwoven: Women’s Lives Written in Thread\, highlights needlework produced by young women in New England and specifically the extraordinary collection of samplers at the Concord Museum. Featuring 30 samplers sewn in the early 1700s to mid-1800s\, Interwoven explores how young women created records of their own lives and experiences\, written in thread. \nThe exhibition explores the history of needlework and embroidery\, its importance as an art form\, and its significance to women in the 18th and 19th centuries. Intended to showcase young women’s accomplishments\, the samplers also communicate details of their lives and education\, their communities\, and their families. The exhibition provides a unique view into their private lives. For most of these young women\, their samplers are the only objects that survive from their lives. Many of the samplers have never been displayed before. \nLearn about the education of privileged young women in the early republic and understand how wealth and enslaved labor enabled them to pursue decorative arts. Explore the materials used in constructing samplers\, such as linens\, dyes and silk\, and how and where these materials were produced. View samplers that demonstrate how women recorded family history and the loss of loved ones through needlework. Understand how they incorporated the importance of community and a strong sense of place in their samplers. \nThe gallery includes areas for hands-on and interactive activities. Exhibition programs connect the history of samplers to contemporary work through visiting artists\, demonstrations\, workshops\, and more. \nImage credit: Detail of Sampler by Phebe Bliss\, 1749.
