SUMMARY:CLS Book Club: The Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:CLS Book Club is ready for spring! \nCLS Book Club’s success depends on the dedication of our wonderful volunteers and patrons. So\, please RSVP if you are planning on attending. To RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nThis meeting’s selection is the 2016 National Book Award Winner\, The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead. A magnificent tour de force chronicling a young slave’s adventures as she makes a desperate bid for freedom in the antebellum South. \nCora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. Life is hell for all the slaves\, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans\, she is coming into womanhood—where even greater pain awaits. When Caesar\, a recent arrival from Virginia\, tells her about the Underground Railroad\, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape. Matters do not go as planned—Cora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her. Though they manage to find a station and head north\, they are being hunted.\nIn Whitehead’s ingenious conception\, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphor—engineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil. Cora and Caesar’s first stop is South Carolina\, in a city that initially seems like a haven. But the city’s placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens. And even worse: Ridgeway\, the relentless slave catcher\, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again\, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight\, state by state\, seeking true freedom.\nLike the protagonist of Gulliver’s Travels\, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journey—hers is an odyssey through time as well as space. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the pre–Civil War era\, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one woman’s ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering\, powerful meditation on the history we all share.

SUMMARY:Special Family Concert: Mark Mason
DESCRIPTION:Join the Charleston Library Society for a Special Family Concert! \nSaturday\, April 22nd \n2:00PM \nMark Mason\, a folk singer-songwriter from Summerville\, SC\, will perform songs from his album Charleston- Musical Portrait in a concert that is fun for all ages. \nTo RSVP to this free event\, please call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nPublished songwriter and folksinger/performer artist Mark Mason has taken some of the vast history of “The Holy City\,” Charleston\, SC and written 10 original songs that encompass her past as well as her legends and folklore. And with the production of Rick Haynes\, (Gordon Lightfoot’s Bass Player)\, has come up with a unique and beautiful body of work. Mason’s haunting and charming melodies and lyrics are accompanied by Haynes on Bass\, Mike Heffernan\, (another Lightfoot band member) on Keyboards\, Warren “Wiggy” Toll on Guitar\, Dobro and Spoons\, Mark DeCarlo on Flute and Michael DiGiorgio on Banjo bringing each and every one of these songs to life. In sort of a Jimmy Driftwood fashion Mason weaves us back in time learning history’s dates\, places and events in a serious\, yet lighthearted way as a teaching tool for young and old alike! The 8 page booklet comes with History Notes and lyrics making this an “experience” that we used to get when we’d bring home a new album and appreciate everything from the artwork to the adventure of growing with the music.

SUMMARY:Wide Angle Lunch: Leah Suarez
DESCRIPTION:Wide Angle Lunches- Season XII: Making Community \n12:30pm – 1:30pm \nIndividual Tickets: $20 members\, $25 nonmembers \nSeason Pass: $75 members\, $95 nonmembers (To purchase Season Pass\, call 843-723-9912) \n Editor’s Note— What is a community without creativity? The arts are thriving in Charleston\, but it would be folly to assume that they will continue to flourish in these uncertain political times. Too often\, whether in word or deed\, the arts are relegated to the fringe of what is considered essential to healthy human communities. Many of us feel in some visceral way that this is backwards\, but how many of us can articulate exactly how\, or why? \nIn Season XII of Wide Angle Lunches\, you will hear from five speakers\, each a champion of creativity and community\, whose lives and work are distinctly dedicated to the making of community through creativity. Whether through music or architecture\, poetry or “artivism”\, they are tackling society’s ills in profoundly inspirational ways. We invite you to join us for one or all lunches\, and promise that you will leave both sated and hungry: armed with examples and a deepened understanding of how the arts are integral to the health and sustainability of peaceful and prosperous communities\, and eager to go out into your community and make it stronger through your own creativity. ~Ceara Donnelley \nLeah Suárez \nSacred Ground: The Call of Humanity and Art of Bearing Witness \nTo purchase tickets\, call 843-723-9912 or click here. \n Almost two years ago\, Charleston musician Leah Suárez found herself in Hundisburg\, Germany\, at the bucolic new home of Wide Angle founder Caroline von Nathusius. The timing of her visit was fortuitous; the tragic shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston had just occurred\, and what began as a bit of respite turned into the genesis of her deeply personal and creative witness bearing to commemorate the lives of the Emanuel Nine. One year later\, in May 2016\, Suárez returned to Germany\, joined by collaborating composer/musician\, Alex Collier\, for the world premiere of the first phase of Sacred Ground. It was held in the Schinkel double-church at the dedication of an outdoor structure\, Charleston Place\, which was built by students of the American College of the Building Arts and named in solidarity with the Holy City. \nThis year\, Sacred Ground makes its Charleston debut at the Circular Church on 6 May 2017. Two days before what promises to be a moving concert\, Wide Anglers have the privilege of hearing directly from Suárez on the story of how the piece came to be\, and the role and responsibility of the artist and citizen to bear witness. As an accomplished musician (multilingual singer\, valve trombonist\, composer and bandleader blazing her own cool alloy genre that’s jazz tempered with a range of other roots traditions)\, arts entrepreneur (founder of arts production company De La Luz\, co-founder and former executive director of Jazz Artists of Charleston and co-producer of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra)\, and recent seeker of her own Mexican roots and heritage\, few are poised to speak as powerfully to the intersection of creativity and community\, both in Charleston and around the world. \n*Photo provided by Alice Keerey

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Tessa Tennant
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Tessa Tennant; an evening filled with stimulating conversations about a wide variety of topics. For her entire career Tessa Tennant has worked to ‘green’ the financial services industry.  She co-founded the United Kingdom’s first green investment fund\, the Jupiter Ecology Fund in 1988 and is on the board of the country’s Green Investment Bank.  She has been centrally involved in developing the industry in the UK and overseas especially in Asia.  In recognition of her work she has won several awards and was the first non-US citizen to be given the Joan Bavaria Award in 2012.  She thinks and ‘does’ global\, while also acting very local with her husband\, running an upland farm and property enterprise in the Scottish Borders. \nTessa will be interviewed by a special guest of the Library Society and will answer interesting questions in a conversation format. \nTo RSVP\, call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org

In his Wide Angle debut\, Amaker will explore his vision for Charleston’s first Poetry Festival\, and explore how poetry has the power to transform people and the communities they create together. \nAmaker’s poetry has been featured on TEDx\, the PBS Newshour\, A&E\, the Huffington Post\, several journals and poetry collections. His latest book\, Mantra\, is also an app for iPhone and Android devices. He’s also a well-known graphic/web designer and videographer\, producing award-winning work for many nonprofits and organizations. He’s also the lead graphic designer for a national music magazine. This year\, he was named one of Charleston’s 50 Most Influential people by Charleston Business Magazine. Marcus has released more than twenty albums of music since 1986. \n*Photo provided by Reese Moore

The code is 17SCHLIB \nSally Bedell Smith is the author of bestselling biographies of Queen Elizabeth II; William S. Paley; Pamela Harriman; Diana\, Princess of Wales; John and Jacqueline Kennedy; and Bill and Hillary Clinton. A contributing editor at Vanity Fair since 1996\, she previously worked at Time and The New York Times\, where she was a cultural news reporter. She is the mother of three children and lives in Washington\, D.C.\, with her husband\, Stephen G. Smith. \nPrince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life \nDrawing on her extensive access to the Royal Family’s inner circle\, New York Times bestselling author Sally Bedell Smith presents the first major biography of Prince Charles in more than two decades. \nIn this illustrated lecture\, based on her new book Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life (April\, 2017)\, Ms. Smith will give unprecedented insights into Prince Charles\, a man who possesses a fiercely independent spirit\, and yet has spent his life in waiting for the ultimate role of monarch. \nBeginning with his childhood\, Smith will detail his intellectual quests\, his entrepreneurial pursuits\, and his love affairs—from the tragedy of his marriage to Diana to his eventual reunion with Camilla. \nShe will also describe his relationship with the next generation of royals\, including William\, Katherine\, Harry\, and his beloved grandchildren. Ms. Smith captures a man who has been described as an 18th-century gentleman with a 21st-century mission—a life filled with contradictions and convictions. \nThis is a lecture not just about a man who would be king\, but also about the duties that come with privilege.

SUMMARY:Afternoon Speaker Series: Candice Shy Hooper
DESCRIPTION:Come enjoy this special afternoon Speaker Series lecture by Candice Shy Hooper about her book\, Lincoln’s Generals’ Wives: Four Women Who Influenced the Civil War – For Better and for Worse \nTo RSVP\, please call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nThe story of the American Civil War is not complete without examining the extraordinary lives of Jessie Frémont\, Nelly McClellan\, Ellen Sherman\, and Julia Grant\, wives of Abraham Lincoln’s top generals. They were their husbands’ closest confidantes and had a profound impact on the generals. Once shots were fired on Fort Sumter\, their relationships with their husbands and their personal opinions of Abraham Lincoln had national and historical consequences. Relying on letters and memoirs —and\, for the first time\, mapping the women’s wartime travels—Hooper explores the very different ways in which these remarkable women responded to the unique challenges of being Lincoln’s generals’ wives. \nCandice Shy Hooper was born on Guam to a U. S. Navy Hospital Corpsman and his intrepid Hoosier wife. With an undergraduate degree in journalism from the University of Illinois and a law degree from Georgetown University\, it was only after a career on Capitol Hill as aide to the late Congressman Charlie Wilson (“Charlie Wilson’s War”) and as a lobbyist with her husband that she “discovered” her true intellectual passion.  In 2008\, she earned an MA in history\, with a concentration in military history\, from George Washington University. \nHooper’s work has appeared in the New York Times\, The Journal of Military History\, and The Michigan War Studies Review\, and she has lectured at the U. S. Naval Academy. \nCandice is a Member of the Board of Directors of President Lincoln’s Cottage at the National Soldiers’ Home in Washington\, DC.  She is also a member of the Ulysses S. and Julia D. Grant Historical Home Advisory Board in Detroit\, Michigan.  Hooper is currently president of the Johann Fust Library Foundation in Boca Grande\, Florida\, where she spends half the year with her husband Lindsay.  The rest is divided between Arlington\, Virginia\, and Wilson\, Wyoming.

In this Wide Angle first\, Nevin will moderate a conversation with two people whose ideas about creativity and community promise to spark a lively exploration about how art intersects with urban planning\, politics and social justice\, or\, in Nevin’s own words\, “artivism.” \n Ruby Lerner and KJ Kearney are both visionaries and practitioners in the art of creative community-making. Lerner is the founding Executive Director of Creative Capital\, an innovative arts foundation that adapts venture capital concepts to support individual artists. Under her leadership\, Creative Capital committed $40 million in financial and advisory support to 511 projects representing 642 artists. She stepped down from the organization in June 2016 to pursue consulting work and independent research\, and beginning in January 2017 she will be the inaugural Herberger Institute Policy Fellow at Arizona State University and Senior Advisor to the Patty Disney Center for Life and Work at CalArts. \nYou may have read KJ Kearney’s name in the byline of his former column for Charleston City Paper\, or in the news when he ran for South Carolina House District 15. A native of North Charleston\, Kearney is committed to keeping Charleston conscious of its complicated cultural heritage and often-precarious present. He recently launched Charleston Sticks Together\, in the words of the City Paper a “platform for reminding the city of its imperfections” – it sells pins that remind us all of the ugliness that lurks beneath and within the beauty of Charleston\, urging us to take off our “Rainbow Row-colored glasses” and confront the challenges that bedevil true unity in this community. \nPhotos provided by Ruby Lerner & Elizabeth Ervin

He believes we are all creative and that capacity needs to find expression in how we live and work together. Awakening creativity\, we can participate in bringing to life our communities and more fully contribute to the world we inhabit. It can remind us that our struggles\, our joys and sorrows\, are shared. They are what bind us as a community. \nTrained as an architect at the Yale School of Architecture\, Svigals also studied sculpture at the Ecole Nationale Superiere in Paris. Encompassing a wide range of clients\, his firm’s architectural designs include projects for Yale University\, Boston College and the University of Connecticut\, as well as numerous public schools\, including most recently\, the new elementary school for Sandy Hook in Newtown\, Connecticut. \nOver the last 35 years\, Svigals has taught and lectured at a number of academic institutions including the Yale School of Architecture\, the Harvard School of Business\, and Stanford University. His love of sculpture and figurative art led to its integration into the architecture of his firm\, bringing back an historical tradition and providing a dimension which could give it deeper meaning. For this contribution to the practice of architecture\, he was awarded the Fellowship to the American Institute of Architects.

DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host Eva Dillon to discuss her new\, Kirkus starred review memoir\, Spies in the Family. This event is free for CLS members and $5 for nonmembers. To RSVP or purchase tickets\, call 843-723-9912 or click here. \nSpies in the Family is a true-life thriller and revealing memoir from the daughter of an American intelligence officer.  At the height of Cold War tensions between the US and the USSR\, the Americans had a secret weapon—a Soviet double agent who rose to the rank of general and passed intelligence which most likely averted a nuclear showdown. And yet this crucial historical chapter has remained hidden in the shadows…until now.  Reporting from the inside\, Eva Dillon breaks the incredible story of her CIA officer father\, his GRU asset\, and their remarkable relationship in SPIES IN THE FAMILY: An American Spymaster\, His Russian Crown Jewel\, and the Friendship That Helped End the Cold War. Dillon delivers a riveting account that is part nail-biting spy thriller\, part intimate family memoir.  With concerns about Vladimir Putin’s intentions and aggressions making headlines daily\, this stunning page-turner brims with chilling contemporary relevance. \nEva Dillon spent twenty-five years in the magazine publishing business\, including stints at Vogue\, Harper’s Bazaar\, Glamour\, The New Yorker\, and as president of Reader’s Digest\, U.S.  Dillon and her six siblings grew up moving around the world for her father’s CIA assignments from Berlin to Mexico City to Rome to New Delhi. A transplanted New Yorker now living in Charleston\, she holds a bachelor’s in Music from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Her critically acclaimed nine-piece collection of Haute Couture\, Mythical Creatures from the Golden Menagerie\, made its début at the Louvre Museum in Paris in January 2015. Among her publications are The Golden Menagerie (2016)\, celebrating her Haute Couture collection\, and Alchemy: A Passion for Jewels (2008). \nIn June 2017\, Temple’s 18K Eight Ring Tolomeo Pendant\, the central masterpiece of her renowned Celestial collection\, will be adopted into the permanent collection of Les Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre in Paris\, France.
