SUMMARY:Storytelling Series // Fashioning Narratives with Judith Thurman\, Harold Koda\, and Caroline Rennolds Milbank
DESCRIPTION:What does a dress\, or how we dress\, have to tell us? Few people better demonstrate the worlds that can be discerned from fashion than Judith Thurman and Harold Koda. In Judith Thurman’s work\, literature and fashion can be co-dependent—a mention of a dress of rare lace leads to Alice B. Toklas and Anita Loos\, and a Charles James seam smoothes easily to Virginia Woolf’s letter to Vita Sackville-West. That Thurman discerns this thread of communication is evident in her description of Alexander McQueen’s fashion as a “form of confessional poetry.” Besides her recently published collection of essays\, A Left-Handed Woman\, she is the author of award-winning biographies of the pivotal cultural figures Colette and Isak Dinesen (for which she won a National Book Award)\, and has also worked as a producer on the film about Dinesen’s life\, Out of Africa. \nHarold Koda led the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s legendary Costume Institute for nearly two decades\, curating such brilliant fashion exhibitions as “Dangerous Liaisons\,” which animated the 18th-century epistolary novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses in a series of sometimes risqué vignettes of mannequins carrying on amongst the fine French furniture and objects d’art of the Wrightsman Galleries. Imaginative in concept\, breathtaking in the look and array of garments\, Koda’s exhibitions and writings have definitively moved the fashion exhibition needle from gazing at the past to brilliantly illuminating the present. \nJoin us on Thursday\, October 5\, from 6:00PM to 7:00PM\, for their perspectives on the unlikely power of genre-spanning storytelling in a conversation moderated by the fashion historian and returning CLS program host\, Caroline Rennolds Milbank. \nTickets are $10 for members\, $15 for the public. \nTo purchase\, click here or call 843.723.9912 during Box Office Hours (11:00AM–4:00PM\, Monday through Thursday).

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club: King by Jonathan Eig
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, October 11\, at 10:30AM for a lively Book Club discussion on the masterful biography\, King: A Life by Jonathan Eig\, with special guest Rev. Nelson B Rivers\, III. We’ll unpack some of the book’s core themes as we delve into the life and legacy of Martin Luther King\, Jr. \nFrom the small farming community of Bennett’s Point\, SC near Charleston\, the Rev. Nelson B. Rivers\, III\, has risen throughout the ranks of the NAACP to become the Chief Operating Officer of the oldest and most revered civil rights organization. His climb epitomizes the unlimited possibilities of a life of commitment\, dedication and purpose. \nRev. Rivers received his bachelor’s degree from Wilberforce University in Ohio\, and currently serves on the Board of Trustees. He is an ordained Baptist preacher and is currently pursing a Master of Arts in Theology Degree at the Ecumenical Institute of Theology at St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore\, MD. He is married to the former Carolyn Smalls of Charleston and has four children. \nAlways determined to make things better\, Rivers has given his time\, talents and expertise to the NAACP for over thirty years. He has worked at every level of the organizations-as branch committee chair\, advisor of a local youth council; President and leader of the reorganization of the nearly defunct North Charleston\, SC Branch; Executive Director of the South Carolina State Conference; Director of the Southeast Region (the largest of the NAACP’s seven regions); Chief of Field Operation; and his current position\, Chief Operating Officer. With Rivers at the helm of the South Carolina Conference\, NAACP membership in the state tripled from 1984 to 1994. His work led to the election of more than 300 new black elected officials in South Carolina between the years of 1986 to 1994. His skills as a grassroots organizer resulted in massive direct action activities. Among them was the January 2000 historic march and rally that brought over 50\,000 people to the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse to protest the state’s flying of the Confederate battle flag. In 2014\, Rev. Nelson B. Rivers\, III became the Vice President of Religious Affairs and External Relations for the National Action Network under the leadership of Rev. Al Sharpton. \nHe has received numerous awards for his civil rights and community work including the Order of the Palmetto\, the State of South Carolina’s highest award; the honorary Doctor of Humanities degree by his alma mater\, Wilberforce University; and induction into the South Carolina Black Hall of Fame. He has appeared on various radio and television programs including Donahue\, 60 Minutes\, a speaking role in the movie “Separate but Equal” starring Sidney Poitier\, BET Tonight with Ed Gordon\, among others. In July 2004\, at the NAACP 95th Convention\, he was recognized as the top NAACP staff professional when he was awarded the Medgar Evers Award of Excellence. \nCLS Book Club is FREE\, in-person\, open to the public—whether you’ve finished the book\, are thinking about starting it\, or couldn’t make it past the half-way point. All that is required is an RSVP via the form below.  \nFor a copy of the book\, check out our catalog here\, or shop local at Buxton Books. \nAbout CLS Book Club\nThe CLS Book Club has become a space for conversations about wide ranging topics\, but such a book\, so directly connected to a library’s mission\, has never been chosen. We hope that this book will provide an opportunity to discuss banned books\, freedom of speech\, educational access\, historical importance of librarianship\, and the power that libraries hold in the 21st Century and beyond.

SUMMARY:The Original Fight to Save America from Itself
DESCRIPTION:In the early days of the republic\, fractious political fights among the founders stoked real fear that the War of Independence might end in disunion and civil war\, with separate regional confederacies\, rather than a single nation\, emerging as the shape of this brand new world. In a new eye-opening account of American history\, Disunion Among Ourselves\, Vanderbilt University political historian Eli Merritt reveals the details of these deep political divisions that almost tore the Union apart during the American Revolution\, and also the triumphs forged from grueling compromises (including the Declaration of Independence in 1776\, the Mississippi-Fisheries Compromise of 1779\, and the ratification of the Articles of Confederation in 1781\, to name a few). \nJoin us on Tuesday\, October 24\, from 6:00PM–7:00PM for a fascinating look at this how these early—and occasionally furtive—negotiations managed to hold a young America together for the sake of unity and self-preservation\, as well as accounts of the founding players who made it happen. \nTickets:  Members – $10 // General Admission – $15 \nTo purchase\, click here or call 843.723.9912 during Box Office Hours (11:00AM–4:00PM\, Monday through Thursday). \nAbout the Book \nIn addition to bringing new insights to the history of the American Revolution and the history of the Civil War\, Disunion Among Ourselves has inevitable resonances with our present era of political hyperpolarization and serves as a touchstone for contemporary politics\, reminding us that the founders overcame far tougher times than our own through commitment to ethical constitutional democracy and compromise. \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.” \n—Alan Taylor\, Thomas Jefferson Foundation Chair at the University of Virginia and author of American Revolutions: A Continental History\, 1750-1804  \n“Disunion Among Ourselves tells an important story that has been missed or skipped over in nearly all histories of the Revolution. It has indeed\, as promised\, recovered ‘a whole area of the Revolution’ previously underappreciated\, and for that is invaluable.” \n—Richard Kreitner\, writer and historian\, author of Break It Up: Secession\, Division\, and the Secret History of America’s Imperfect Union  \nAbout the Author  \nA political historian at Vanderbilt University\, Eli Merritt has written about the dangers of demagogues to democracy for the New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, Seattle Times\, Chicago Tribune\, Newsday\, and Philadelphia Inquirer\, among dozens of other news outlets. He writes a Substack newsletter called American Commonwealth that explores the origins of the United States’s political discontents and solutions to them. \nHe completed his B.A. in History at Yale; M.A. in Ethics at Yale\, M.D. at Case Western Reserve; internal medicine internship at the Lahey Clinic; and psychiatry residency at Stanford. He is the editor of How to Save Democracy: Inspiration and Advice From 95 World Leaders (Amplify\, March 2023) as well as of The Curse of Demagogues: Lessons Learned from the Presidency of Donald J. Trump (Spotlight Press\, 2022).

SUMMARY:Tackling Life's Big Questions: The Monumental Minutes of the Clionian Debating Society
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting an incredible discovery from our archives—a handwritten journal documenting meeting minutes from the Clionian Debating Society\, a philosophical group formed in 1847 by and for free people of color in pursuit of intellectual discourse—this CLS original event illuminates a chapter of broad historic influence and interest that has remained largely unknown. Until now.   \nJoin Dr. Bernie Powers and Professor Angela Ray\, of Northwestern University\, on Thursday\, October 26\, from 6:00PM to 7:00PM\,  for an historical perspective on this profoundly important discovery. \nTickets:  Members – $10 // General Admission – $15 \nTo purchase tickets\, click here or call 843-723-9912 from 10AM–4PM\, Monday thru Friday. \nAbout the Clionian Debating Society \nThe Clionian Debating Society was formed in 1847 by a group of free people of color in Antebellum-era Charleston. During the society’s 10-year history\, they debated 93 questions among 55 members\, honorary members\, and supporters listed by name. Members were exclusively male but women are recorded as having donated books to their library and making financial contributions. Members were keenly interested in questions of historical importance\, such as whether Charlemagne and Caesar were great men or whether ancient or modern history was more interesting\, but did not debate the topic of slavery. \nProceedings of the Clionian Debating Society\, 1847-1851\, chronicles the voice of this largely unheard population in Antebellum-era Charleston. Acquired in 1919 through the A.W. Dellquest Book Company in Augusta\, GA\, this 148-page hardback\, handwritten journal contains the minutes and notes from the second-half of the debating society’s lifetime.  \nLearn more about the society\, and our ongoing work to share its story\, here.

SUMMARY:Book Tour Exclusive: Mary Beard's Profile of an Emperor—New Insights into Ancient Rome
DESCRIPTION:Join CLS and Buxton Books on Wednesday\, November 1\, for an evening with Mary Beard\, a literary legend dubbed “the world’s most famous classicist” by the Guardian\, in celebration of the release of her forthcoming book\, Emperor of Rome: Ruling the Ancient Roman World\, due out in October. During this exciting Book Tour Event\, Beard will discuss her sweeping account of the social and political world of the Roman emperors in rare and intimate detail—exploring (and exploding) themes of identity and big-picture narrative at the heart of ancient Rome’s enduring legacy. \nTicket prices\, which are publisher-directed\, are $50 for Members\, $55 for the General Admission  \nTickets include one (1) copy of the book per order.  \nThere are a limited number of special offer ticket pairs priced at $65\, available to Members\, which include two (2) tickets and one (1) book.  \nFor more info and to purchase tickets\, please click here.  \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to reserve one or more signed copies\, please purchase here. \nAbout the Book \nIn her international bestseller SPQR\, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire\, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE). Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers\, one after another: the mad Caligula\, the monster Nero\, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? She tracks down the emperor at home\, at the races\, on his travels\, even on his way to heaven. She introduces his wives and lovers\, rivals and slaves\, court jesters and soldiers—and the ordinary people who pressed begging letters into his hands. Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman\, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before. \nAbout the Author \nMary Beard is the author of the best-selling The Fires of Vesuvius and the National Book Critics Circle Award–nominated Confronting the Classics and SPQR. A popular blogger and television personality\, Beard is a regular contributor to the New York Review of Books. She lives in England.
