SUMMARY:LexSeeHer 1769 Spinning Tableau
DESCRIPTION:LexSeeHer holds an annual event to commemorate Anna Harrington’s bold 1769 Spinning Protest. In the Tableau\, 45 volunteers help make this historic event visible\, showing what impression may have been made on August 31\, 1769 when 45 women stepped out with their spinning wheels to protest increased taxes on imported textiles. Women declared they would rather make their own “homespun” than pay taxes they believed were unjust. Join us to celebrate women’s contributions to American history!

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!
