SUMMARY:Bond Street REIT Speaker Series // Deepak Srivastava
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first of this year’s Bond Street Series\, focused on the importance of cultural institutions in fostering creative conversation and enhancing opportunities for democratic engagement. Founder of Bond Street REIT\, Michael Reynolds\, will host a rare conversation with Special Guest Deepak Srivastava\, President of Gladstone Institutes in California\, and one of the nation’s leading physicians in the science and technology of stem cell research and opportunities to combat congenital heart disease. \nAbout Deepak Srivastava \nDeepak Srivastava\, MD\, is President of Gladstone Institutes\, a nonprofit biomedical research institute that uses visionary science and technology to overcome disease. He is also a senior investigator and director of the Roddenberry Stem Cell Center at Gladstone. In addition\, he is a professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Biochemistry and Biophysics\, and the Wilma and Adeline Pirag Distinguished Professor in pediatric developmental cardiology at UC San Francisco (UCSF). Srivastava received his MD from the University of Texas\, then trained in pediatrics at UCSF and in pediatric cardiology at the Children’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School. Before joining Gladstone in 2005\, Srivastava was a professor of pediatrics and molecular biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He became Gladstone’s president in 2018\, and has since been steering the organization toward a new era of convergence between technology and biomedical research. In his lab\, Srivastava investigates the genes responsible for normal heart formation and congenital heart disease\, and harnesses this knowledge to engineer cells that can repair heart damage. Srivastava is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and the National Academy of Medicine. He served as president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research in 2019–2020. In addition\, Srivastava has co-founded two biotechnology companies\, iPierian Inc. and Tenaya Therapeutics\, where he continues to sit on the board of directors and on the scientific advisory board. Srivastava was recently recognized in the San Francisco Business Times’ Power 100 list for his leadership in business and research in the Bay Area. \nAbout the Bond Street REIT Speaker Series \nOrchestrated by Founder and Chief Executive Officer\, Michael D. Reynolds\, who passionately served as a member of the Board of Trustees and also Treasurer of the Charleston Library Society\, the Bond Street REIT Speaker Series strives to honor the institution’s cultural enrichment\, intellectual exploration\, and literary legacy through a series of lively discussions and thought-provoking lectures. Bond Street is dedicated to preserving the Charleston Library Society’s renowned collection and historical significance\, as an immensely valuable repository of history in the South. Bond Street Real Estate Investment Trust\, headquartered in Charleston\, is a private real estate investment trust uniquely invested in convenience retail centers across ten states in the Southeast. \nIn 1831\, Alexis de Tocqueville toured America and visited Charleston in search of the special ingredient that made America’s democracy so powerful. What he discovered was that the glue that created community and civic discourse was its profoundly thriving cultural institutions. Libraries\, theaters\, museums\, and other cultural spaces served as the foundation for civic engagement and public dialogue. This insight is as relevant today as it was then\, and the Library Society remains vibrant because of this very truth.

SUMMARY:The Revolution's Bravest General
DESCRIPTION:As a Brigadier General in the French Army\, Major General in the American Revolutionary Army and a French-American liaison during a time of incredible upheaval\, German-native Johann de Kalb led an amazing life\, but his legacy is lesser known than Revolutionary counterparts such as the Marquis de Lafayette\, to whom he may have been a mentor. With a focus on these less publicized leaders in the fight for independence\, and thanks to our ongoing partnership with the N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation\, author and historian John Beakes will enlighten us on the lasting impact of General de Kalb during the American Revolution. \nAbout John Beakes \nJohn Beakes graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1966 and served in nuclear submarines until 1974. He then began a career of executive leadership in technology service companies\, from which he retired in 2021. His five books on the Revolutionary War have focused on little-known combat leaders in America’s fight for independence. He co-authored “Cool\, Deliberate Courage: John Eager Howard in the American Revolution” and “‘Light Horse Harry Lee’ in the War for Independence” with Dr. Jim Piecuch. He then completed “Otho Holland Williams in the American Revolution” in 2015 and “De Kalb: One of the Revolutionary War’s Bravest Generals” in 2019. In 2022\, he completed “William Campbell in the American Revolution: Commander of Riflemen at Kings Mountain and Guilford Courthouse.” These books have brought forth the stories of how these largely unknown military leaders made important contributions to the American victory in the Revolutionary War. \nAbout The N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation: \nThe N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation was founded by Klaus Becker\, then Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany to North Carolina. The mission of the Foundation is reflected in its name\, Zeitgeist\, which means the “Spirit of the Time\,” is to inform\, educate\, and foster dialogue about the influence in the Carolinas of the current and historic culture\, arts\, society\, and spirit of Germany and Europe in celebrating their deep-rooted ties to the United States. Its mission is to strengthen transatlantic partnerships through cultural exchange\, business collaboration\, and shared innovation. By connecting communities across North Carolina and Germany\, we foster understanding\, economic opportunity\, and artistic inspiration on both sides of the Atlantic. In recognition of the long-standing German/European-American transatlantic relationship\, the program of the Foundation focuses on the exchange of societal and governmental thought and theory\, art exhibitions\, and cultural and social events. Since its inception in 2014\, The N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation has strongly supported economic development and growth in the Greater Charlotte Region\, including initiatives to brand and promote the Carolinas as a premier US location for international business\, trade\, and investment. \nAbout SC 250 \nSC250 Charleston is intended to serve as an umbrella for Charleston-area community organizations\, governmental entities\, and business enterprises interested in conceiving\, building and sponsoring initiatives that commemorate the American Revolution and leading roles played by Charleston’s people and places. This program is sponsored (in part) by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. SC250 was established by the SC Legislature to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary-Era and highlight the state’s significant role in securing America’s freedom by engaging and inspiring South Carolinians and visitors through heritage tourism\, rural economic impact initiatives\, and educational programs. Contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of SC250\, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation by SC250.

SUMMARY:Bertrand Van Ruymbeke // 1776 L'Annee Americaine
DESCRIPTION:We are so pleased to welcome a return of the distinguished Bertrand Van Ruymbeke for a personal discussion on his latest book\, most timely for all of our discussions about America’s 250th. From a European perspective\, the book analyzes the origins of this event\, the historical context\, the political decisions\, and the diplomatic and military stakes – from the Boston Tea Party (1773) to Franklin’s arrival in France (1776)\, as well as its lasting repercussions.  \nPrior to the program\, we invite our Fellows Members to enjoy Happy Hour from 5:00 – 6:00 pm\, downstairs in the Dr. Suzan D. Boyd Fellows Club Lounge.  \nAbout the Book \n1776 covers the decisive period of the American Revolution\, from the Boston Tea Party (December 1773) to the end of 1776. Primarily focused on the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia\, this work explains how the inhabitants of the thirteen colonies first rebelled against Parliament and then declared their independence on July 4\, 1776. Who were the members of Congress? How did it function? What were the steps that led to independence and war? These are among the central questions explored in this book. \nAbout Bertrand Van Ruymbeke \nBertrand Van Ruymbeke (PhD\, 1995\, La Sorbonne-Nouvelle; Habilitation à diriger des recherches\, 2003\, Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines) is professor of American Civilization at the University of Paris 8\, a member of the American Philosophical Society\, a senior honorary member of the Institut Universitaire de France\, and a Knight of the Ordre des Palmes académiques. He currently leads the collaborative study program America 2026 (Agence Nationale de la Recherche)\, which gathers French\, European\, and American scholars and institutions in preparation for the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States (www.america2026.eu). He is an elected member of the Conseil National des Universités\, as well as of the juries for the SAES / AFEA research prize and for the Chancellerie des Universités de Paris thesis prize. He sits on the Council of the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture in Williamsburg\, Virginia\, and on the board of the Early American Studies Association and of the Société d’études anglo-américaines XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles; he is also “relations with learned societies in France and Europe” vice-president for the Réseau Européen pour le Développement de l’Histoire de la Jeune Amérique. He is currently preparing two books on the American Revolution: 1776. L’année américaine (publisher : Tallandier) and L’empire de la liberté\, La Naissance des Etats-Unis (c.1750-1789) (publisher : CNRS Éditions) \nAbout SC 250 \nSC250 Charleston is intended to serve as an umbrella for Charleston-area community organizations\, governmental entities\, and business enterprises interested in conceiving\, building and sponsoring initiatives that commemorate the American Revolution and leading roles played by Charleston’s people and places. This program is sponsored (in part) by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. SC250 was established by the SC Legislature to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary-Era and highlight the state’s significant role in securing America’s freedom by engaging and inspiring South Carolinians and visitors through heritage tourism\, rural economic impact initiatives\, and educational programs. Contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of SC250\, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation by SC250.
