SUMMARY:Book Chat on American Midnight with Adam Hochschild
DESCRIPTION:America in the World War I era was a tinderbox: a time of fierce debate over labor rights\, free speech\, and racial equality. In an era marked by vigilanteism spurred on by the government\, citizen turned against citizen in the war over what it means to be American. Lynchings\, suppression of the press\, and violence against conscientious objectors marred our ideals of democracy. A colorful cast of characters\, from Woodrow Wilson to Emma Goldman and J. Edgar Hoover joined in the fray. \nJoin author Adam Hochschild for a conversation on this little-known era of American history whose legacy is still felt with us today. Meeting is in-person and the author will join us virtually. \nFree!

SUMMARY:Reading Into History: Book Chat on The Chinese Question by Mae Ngai
DESCRIPTION:The Gold Rush of 1849 brought scores of the hopeful to California\, both to mine the hills for treasure\, and to build the railroads that would connect the newly wealthy frontier to the rest of the country. Chinese immigrants made up a massive part of this labor force. As they entered the US and the rest of the western workforce in record numbers\, however\, cultural clashes and racism lead to “the Chinese question”: should western countries allow Chinese immigration at all? In 1882\, the United States decided the answer was “no” with the Chinese Exclusion Act. \nJoin us for a discussion of this sweeping history with a Mae Ngai\, who follows Chinese labor across five continents to show the connection between world economics and racism. \n$10 members\, $15 members \nDoors open at 6:30; refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Petitions: A Patriot Legacy Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:“This month’s Book Chat features a special conversation with Mary Keenan\, author of the newly released book Petitions: A Patriot Legacy! \nIn pre-Civil War America\, the most effective grassroots method of enacting change was the humble petition. Particularly for women who were unable to vote\, this was an invaluable tool to create a better society for themselves and others.
