SUMMARY:Documentary Screening & Discussion - "For The Left Hand"
DESCRIPTION:Join documentary Co-Director\, Gordon Quinn\, and Producer/Writer\, Howard Reich\, for the inspiring story of pianist Norman Malone as we screen the inspiring documentary For the Left Hand. This event is free and open to the public\, but requires an RSVP. To RSVP\, fill out the form below.  \nAbout the Film:\nAt age 5\, Norman discovered he was a natural at the piano. Tragically\, when Norman turned 10\, his father attacked him with a hammer to the head\, leaving him paralyzed on his right side. Undaunted\, Malone began a lifelong quest to reclaim his place at the piano\, mastering the most difficult music ever written for left hand alone – and never telling anyone of his deepening virtuosity. Not until he was 78 did Malone reveal his story (to the Chicago Tribune)\, prompting belated invitations to perform across America. Nearly 70 years after his tragic attack\, Malone launches a much-delayed\, triumphant concert career. \nAbout Gordon:\nArtistic Director and founding member of Kartemquin Films\, Gordon Quinn has been making documentaries for over 50 years. Roger Ebert\, of the Chicago Sun Times\, called his first film Home for Life (1966) “an extraordinarily moving documentary.” With Home for Life Gordon established the direction he would take for the next four decades\, making cinéma vérité films that investigate and critique society by documenting the unfolding lives of real people. At Kartemquin\, Gordon created a legacy that is an inspiration for young filmmakers and a home where they can make high-quality\, social-issue documentaries. Gordon currently executive produces and works creatively on all of our current productions. \nAbout Howard:\nHoward has covered the arts for the Chicago Tribune since 1978 and joined the staff in 1983. He has written six books: “The Art of Inventing Hope: Intimate Conversations with Elie Wiesel\,” “Portraits in Jazz\,” “Let Freedom Swing\,” “Jelly’s Blues” (with William Gaines)\, “Van Cliburn” and “Prisoner of Her Past” (originally published as “The First and Final Nightmare of Sonia Reich”). The latter inspired the Kartemquin documentary film Prisoner of Her Past which Reich wrote\, narrated and co-produced.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Susan Sully
DESCRIPTION:In this debut lecture\, Susan Sully will share her passion and curiosity about Charleston’s unique architecture and design traditions as celebrated in her new book\, The Allure of Charleston (Rizzoli: 2022). The inspiration for this volume began when she returned to Charleston after a time away and found herself wondering what makes this city look and feel so unique. In this lavishly illustrated lecture\, she will share her discoveries about Charleston’s particular design language\, its history\, and how it is perpetuated today. A reception and book signing will follow the lecture. \nTickets for this event are $10 for members and $15 for guests. To purchase your tickets\, click here. \nTo purchase your copy of The Allure of Charleston Houses\, Rooms\, and Gardens from Buxton Books\, click here. \nThe Allure of Charleston celebrates this historic city’s eighteenth- and nineteenth-century styles and demonstrates how they continue to be employed and updated today. Exploring the question of what makes Charleston so distinct\, Sully’s book begins with an illustrated lexicon of Charleston’s particular architectural language\, followed by examples of Georgian\, Federal\, and Greek Revival architecture that demonstrate how this language first came to expression. Featuring historic masterpieces including Drayton Hall\, the Nathaniel Russell House\, and Middleton Place\, this volume also offers a look at present-day residences that reveal the enduring nature of this unique architectural idiom. \nAbout Susan:\nA renowned expert on Southern style\, Susan Sully is the author and photographer of many books about architecture and design from Rizzoli and other publishers. She has also co-authored books with leading Southern architects and designers and contributed articles to The New York Times\, Veranda\, Town & Country Travel\, and other publications. She has lectured at The Smithsonian’s Museum of Architecture\, The Sotheby’s Institute\, and other organizations.

SUMMARY:CLS Presents A Special Performance of The Colour of Music Festival Quintet
DESCRIPTION:CLS invites you to share in a rare opportunity to hear the storied Color of Music Festival Quintet and join a post-performance reception to meet the musicians. With a special appearance by violinist Anyango Yarbo-Davenport and pianist Kyle P. Walker\, the evening will feature an arrangement of Igor Frolov’s “Fantasy” on Porgy and Bess. The full Colour of Music Festival Quintet will be performing “Quintet in A Major” by Florence B. Price – one of the most noted Black female composers – whom we are pleased is finally getting the recognition she deserves. Tickets for this event are $25 for CLS Members and $35 for CLS Guests. Hors d’ oeuvres reception to immediately follow the performance from 8:00-9:00 p.m. \n\n\n\n\n\nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the Festival: \nThe Colour of Music Festival\, Inc. presents a diverse classical repertoire of baroque\, classical and 20th-century music at the highest of musical standards to diverse audiences nationally. The festival has presented in Atlanta; Charleston and Columbia\, South Carolina; Nashville\, Tennessee; Houston; Pittsburgh; Richmond\, Virginia; and Washington\, D.C. \nFew classical music enthusiasts are aware of the tremendous contributions of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges\, an African-French composer whose opera and classical masterpieces equaled or far exceeded those of his 18th-century contemporaries. Although his compositions are highly recognized overseas\, they have gathered little notice in the United States. Today there are thousands of celebrated and prodigiously talented classical principals\, composers and performers of African descent throughout the world. Yet\, their opportunities to grace concert stages of major American orchestras are rare to non-existent. The Colour of Music Festival’s mission is reversing this trend. \nSince 2013\, the Colour of Music Festival offers a musical kaleidoscope highlighting the impact and historical significance of Black classical composers and performers on American and world culture. The Colour of Music Festival began with performances at various venues throughout historic Charleston\, South Carolina and has grown to debut in cities across the country with artists from across the globe. \nAssembling acclaimed Black chamber ensemble players and artists to form the Colour of Music Orchestra\, the Festival showcases some of the top Black classical musicians in the United States\, trained at some of the most prestigious music schools\, conservatories and universities in the world.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Betsy Prioleau
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming author\, Besty Prioleau to discuss her recent biography\, Diamonds and Deadlines: A Tale of Greed\, Deceit\, and a Female Tycoon in the Gilded Age.  \nTickets for this event are $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets\, click here. \nTo purchase your copy of Diamonds and Deadlines from Buxton Books\, click here. \nAbout the Book:\nThe first major biography of the glamorous and scandalous Miriam Leslie—a titan of publishing and an unsung hero of women’s suffrage. A fantastic Gilded Age story that speaks to the important social issues of our time. \nAmong the fabled tycoons of the Gilded Age—Carnegie\, Rockefeller\, Vanderbilt—is a forgotten figure: Mrs. Frank Leslie. For 20 years she ran the country’s largest publishing empire which chronicled postbellum America in dozens of weeklies and monthlies. A pioneer in an all-male industry\, she made a fortune and became a national celebrity and tastemaker. \nBut Miriam Leslie was a byword for scandal. She flouted feminine mores\, took lovers\, married four times\, and harbored unsavory secrets she concealed through a skein of lies and multiple personas\, including possible mixed-race parentage and a checkered youth. At her death\, she dropped a bombshell: she left her multimillion-dollar estate to Women’s suffrage—a never-equaled amount that guaranteed passage of the 19th Amendment. \nA dazzling biography\, Diamonds and Deadlines reveals the unknown\, sensational life of the brilliant and brazen “Empress of Journalism” who presaged the feminist future and reflected\, in bold relief\, the Gilded Age\, one of the most momentous\, seismic\, and vivid epochs in American history. \nAbout Betsy:\nBetsy Prioleau was born and grew up in Richmond\, Virginia. Her father was portrait artist Hugo Stevens\, and her home life\, full of books\, art\, and talkfests. She worked as a reporter on the Charlottesville Daily Progress and received a B.S. and M.A. from the University of Virginia. \nAfter a Ph.D. in American literature at Duke University\, she taught English and World Literature at Manhattan College\, where she was a tenured associate professor. She was a scholar in residence at New York University\, and most recently\, taught cultural history in the New York University Liberal Studies Program. Besides scholarly articles\, she has written for popular publications and authored four books — Diamonds and Deadlines (2022)\, Swoon (2013)\, Seductress (2003) and Circle of Eros (1983). \nShe lives with her husband Philip in Charleston\, South Carolina and New York City\, and dances with her grandchild Olivia\, gardens\, and swims when she’s not buried in books. \n

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club - Special Guest Presents "Lessons From The Edge: A Memoir by Maria Yovanovitch"
DESCRIPTION:Join CLS Book Club for a discussion of the inspiring and urgent memoir by the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine\, Maria Yovanovitch\, Lessons From The Edge\, led by Jon Gundersen\, retired U.S. diplomat to Ukraine.  This timely analysis will be the perfect springboard for a discussion about the climate of world affairs from a domestic and foreign lens. All are welcome to participate in CLS Book Clubs\, no matter your reading progress! We encourage all to attend\, whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point.  \nCLS Book Club is free and open to the public. All that is required is an RSVP. \nTo RSVP\, fill out the form at the bottom of the page. \nAbout the Book:\n“Lessons From the Edge is a brilliant\, engaging\, and inspiring memoir from one of America’s wisest and most courageous diplomats—essential reading for current policymakers\, aspiring public servants\, and anyone who cares about America’s role in the world.” —Madeleine K. Albright \nAn inspiring and urgent memoir by the ambassador who electrified the nation by speaking truth to power. \nBy the time she became US Ambassador to Ukraine\, Marie Yovanovitch had seen her share of corruption\, instability\, and tragedy in developing countries. But it came as a shock when\, in early 2019\, she was recalled from her post after a smear campaign by President Trump’s personal attorney and his associates—men operating outside of normal governmental channels\, and apparently motivated by personal gain. Her courageous participation in the subsequent impeachment inquiry earned Yovanovitch the nation’s respect\, and her dignified response to the president’s attacks won our hearts. She has reclaimed her own narrative\, first with her lauded congressional testimony\, and now with this memoir. \nA child of parents who survived Soviet and Nazi terror\, Yovanovitch’s life and work have taught her the preciousness of democracy as well as the dangers of corruption. Lessons from the Edge follows the arc of her career as she develops into the person we came to know during the impeachment proceedings.

SUMMARY:Andrew Caldwell Shares His Newest Release\, "The Presidents School: A New Way Forward"
DESCRIPTION:Join us in welcoming well-seasoned traveler and wildly talented author\, Andrew Caldwell\, as he shares his newest book\, The Presidents School: A New Way Forward. This event is free and open to the public\, but an RSVP is required. \nTo RSVP\, click fill out the form below or call 843-723-9912. \nAbout the Book:\nAmerica’s first Jewish President Byron Weiss stuns the nation when he declines to run for a second term and instead promotes a new cadre of men and women to replace the old guard in Congress. The first candidates of the newly established ‘Presidents’ School’ start churning out creative ideas for geopolitics and diplomacy\, like offering the nation of Israel the chance to become the 51st state by relocating to southern New\nMexico. As the West embraces the changes\, longing for the possibility of an end to conflict in the Middle East\, Iran\, China and Russia plot to destroy any hope of peace and stability. When a U-boat marked with a swastika symbol is spotted followed by displays of aggression\, the members of the Presidents’ School are called to action before a dreadful time in history repeats itself. \nAbout the Author:\nEducated in an English monastic school\, Andrew Caldwell elected to find a career that allowed him to travel the globe. He initially trained to be a chef from the early age of 13 in the Caribbean working his way up to Head Chef positions in Bermuda\, Mexico and Hawaii before transitioning into resort management in America\, the Caribbean\, Europe and Africa. From King’s Tut’s tomb\, Machu Picchu\, Hadrian’s Wall to the pirate haunts of the Caribbean\, his passion for learning history combined with cooking has taken him to over sixty countries. He is the author of a trilogy of historical cookery books called Their Last Suppers\, Legends of History and Their Final Meals which tells the stories of legendary personalities of time\, their lives\, and culminates with the recipe for their last meals. The Presidents’ School is his first published novel. Andrew is popular for his book signings and speaking engagements\, weaving in his experiences and life stories to how his books came to life. Andrew promotes his books globally and presently lives in Charleston\, South Carolina\, USA.

SUMMARY:Politics\, History\, and the Role of the American South with Frye Gaillard
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to partner with Buxton Books to host an evening of history and politics with Frye Gaillard\, who will be discussing his collaboration with Cynthia Tucker\, The Southernization of America: a Story of Democracy in the Balance. Gaillard will explore the role of the South and how it’s woven into the fabric of American politics and culture. \nTo RSVP to this free event\, call 843-723-9912 or fill out the form below. \nAbout the Book:\nIn 1974 John Egerton published his seminal work\, The Americanization of Dixie. Pulitzer Prize-winner Cynthia Tucker and award-winning author Frye Gaillard carry Egerton’s thesis forward in The Southernization of America\, a compelling series of linked essays considering the role of the South in shaping America’s current political and cultural landscape. They dive deeper\, examining the morphing of the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan into the Republican Party of today\, the racial backlash against President Obama\, family separation on our southern border\, the rise of the Christian right\, the white supremacist riots in Charlottesville\, the death of George Floyd\, and the attack on our nation’s capitol. They find hope in the South too\, a legacy rooted in the civil rights years that might ultimately lead the nation on the path to redemption. Tucker and Gaillard bring a multiracial perspective and years of political reporting to bear on a critical moment in American history\, a time of racial reckoning and democracy under siege. \nAbout Frye:\nFrye Gaillard is a writer in residence at the University of South Alabama and award-winning author of more than 20 books\, including Watermelon Wine: The Spirit of Country Music\, The Quilt: And the Poetry of Alabama Music\, Journey to the Wilderness: War\, Memory\, and a Southern Family’s Civil War Letters\, The Books That Mattered: A Reader’s Memoir\, and Go South to Freedom\, all published by NewSouth Books. His book A Hard Rain: America in the 1960s\, Our Decade of Hope\, Possibility\, and Innocence Lost is forthcoming from NewSouth. He is the winner of the Lillian Smith Award\, the Clarence Cason Award for Non-Fiction\, the Alabama Library Association Book of the Year Award\, and the 2016 Eugene Current-Garcia Award For Distinction in Literary Scholarship. \nAbout Cynthia:\nCynthia Tucker is a Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist who has spent most of her career in journalism\, having previously worked for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as a Washington-based political correspondent. Her work as a journalist has been celebrated by the National Association of Black Journalists\, who inducted her into its hall of fame\, Harvard University\, and the Alabama Humanities Foundation. Tucker spent three years as a visiting professor at the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and is currently the journalist-in-residence at the University of South Alabama. Her weekly column focuses on political and cultural issues\, including income inequality\, social justice\, and public education reform.

SUMMARY:Coffee with an Author - Lindy Carter
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an opportunity to sip coffee with Lindy Carter\, learn about her newest book\, The Rice Birds\, and hear a short reading. Lindy will share her inspiration for the book\, events she adapted\, and interesting historical facts she uncovered during her research. \nWe are reigniting this series from when it initially started in 2019\, and look forward to getting back to these intimate conversations that will be held in our beloved\, booklined Dr. Suzan D. Boyd Fellows Lounge.\n \nTo RSVP to this free event\, call 843-723-9912 or fill out the form below. \nAbout the Book:\nIn 1849\, twin sisters fleeing Ireland’s famine arrive at New York’s seaport. Only Nora is allowed to get on the boat to South Carolina to fulfill her four-year indenture. On her employer’s vast rice plantation\, an enslaved worker—Pearl—befriends her. After one of them commits a crime\, the girls flee to Charleston\, where Nora frantically seeks to get back to her sister and Pearl tries to find her mother\, sold away long ago. Meanwhile\, an old enemy’s illegal transatlantic scheme is about to derail the girls’ plans. Historically accurate\, the book draws upon interviews with academics\, historians\, and educators\, as well as dissertations\, histories\, Gullah stories\, cookbooks\, and the diaries of Lowcountry rice planters. The Rice Birds takes the reader beyond the well-known narratives about Charleston’s history to build upon real events and lives that have seen little light in contemporary books. Some facts were so compelling\, they needed little embellishment before being woven into this tale. \nAbout Lindy:\nLindy Keane Carter is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism andMass Communications. After writing non-fiction for 30 years\, she began writing fiction in 2000. Her short stories won awards in 2003 and 2009 in the South Carolina Arts Commission’s Fiction Project contest. The Rice Birds is her third published novel. She lives in Mt. Pleasant\, SC.

SUMMARY:Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People with George W. McDaniel
DESCRIPTION:A new portrayal of this 18th-century icon among America’s historic sites\, Drayton Hall Stories: A Place and Its People is the first book in the nation to focus on a site’s recent history using interviews with descendants (both White and Black)\, board members\, staff\, donors\, architects\, historians\, preservationists\, tourism leaders\, and more. Like different pieces of a mosaic\, each interview combines with others to create an engaging picture of this one place\, revealing never-before-shared family moments\, major decisions in preservation and site stewardship\, and pioneering efforts to transform a Southern plantation into a site for racial conciliation. Readers will come to see Drayton Hall’s people not as stereotypes\, but as the real people they were — and are. Maps\, photographs\, lines of descent\, interview questions\, a how-to guide\, and related website\, all provide blueprints for readers who wish to undertake similar endeavors to build community in today’s world. This event is free and open to the public\, but an RSVP is required. \nTo RSVP\, fill out the form below or call 843-723-9912. \nTo purchase your copy of “Drayton Hall Stories” from Buxton Books\, please click here. \nAbout the Author:\nGeorge W. McDaniel\, PhD\, is the President of McDaniel Consulting\, LLC\, a strategy firm that helps organizations and museums build bridges within itself and to its broader constituents. For more than 25 years\, he served as the Executive Director of Drayton Hall\, a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Charleston\, South Carolina. A native of Atlanta\, he earned a BA from Sewanee\, a MAT (history) from Brown University\, and PhD (history) from Duke. Interspersed through those years were travels to many places — Europe\, Africa\, Vietnam — where he saw peace and war and learned by experience about cultural differences and commonalities.

A nationally respected museum professional and author\, he helps organizations to use history\, place\, and culture to enhance community
