SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Thibaut Fagonde
DESCRIPTION:To RSVP to this event\, please call (843) 723-9912 or email mstokenberry@charlestonlibrarysociety.org \nCome listen to Director\, Producer\, and Editor\, Thibaut Fagonde discuss his upcoming film Overalls & Aprons. Fagonde will show clips from the film and lead a stimulating Q&A about the question\, “Is Farm to Table Sustainable?”.  Guest speakers include: Glenn Roberts\, Founder of Anson Mills and Antonio Quiros M.D.\, Division Chief Pediatric GI Nutrition at MUSC Children’s Hospital. \nOveralls and Aprons explores the sustainability of local farmers\, livestock producers\, and fisheries in the Lowcountry community of Charleston\, SC. The story is told through the lens of 10 celebrated local chefs who are committed to restoring the cultural culinary landscape and identity of their regional foodways in support of the health and longevity of a true localized food system. The film observes the critical importance of why chefs seek out local ingredients and how their relationships with local producers inform each other’s professions. The chefs’ call to action for quality ingredients has created popular demand and reawakened the cravability and spirit of cultivating a local farm culture and culinary identity. \nThe rich agricultural history of the South plays a “main character” in the film. Visual portraits of the interaction of interlinked communities working in support of strengthening the sustainable local food infrastructure provide a transparency to the “movement” of seed to plate. \nThe film investigates the benefits as well as the constraints of communities investing in localized food systems. The film also delves into the issues of whether the geographical landscape\, ecology\, health\, and socio-economic benefits outweigh the constraints for this type of food system to remain a viable option for all. \nTickets for this event will be $10 for members and $15 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets please call 843-723-9912 or click here. \nFeatured chefs in Overalls and Aprons:\nChef Frank Lee – SNOB & Mavrick Southern Kitchens \nChef Mike Lata – FIG & The Ordinary \nChef Sean Brock – Husk & McCrady’s & Minero \nChef Ricky Hacker – Evo Pizza & Bakery \nChef Nico Romo – Fish & Patricks Properties \nChef Kevin Johnson – The Grocery \nChef Jeremiah Bacon – The McIntosh & Oak Steakhouse \nChef Fred Neuville – Fat Hen \nChef Benjamin ‘BJ’ Dennis \nChef Craig Deihl – Cypress and Artisan Meat Share’ \n\nFeatured farmers:\nCeleste Albers – Sea Island Dairy \nGreg Johnsman – Geechie Boy Mill and Market \nPete Ambrose – Ambrose Farms \nSidi Limehouse – Rosebank Farms \nKenneth Melton – Lowland Farms \nJeff Allen – Rebellion Farms \nJoseph Fields – Joseph Fields Farms \nAnnie Keegan – Keegan Filion Farms \nRita Bachmann – Rita’s Roots \nThomas Lagare – Lagare Farms \nDave Belanger – Clammer Dave \nTommy Edwards – Tommy Shrimp Pimp \nKimberly Carrol – Kimberly’s Crabs \nMark Marhefka – Abundant Seafood \nMillgrove Farms – Ben and Carol

SUMMARY:Wide Angle Lunch Series: Rev. Joe Darby
DESCRIPTION:For tickets\, please call (843) 723-9912 or click here.  $20 members\, $25 nonmembers. \nIs Charleston at a tipping point in its long and fraught history of race relations?

He has delivered his message as senior pastor of the 3\,000-member Morris Brown AME Church\, and now Presiding Elder of the Beaufort District of the AME Church; as First Vice-President of the Charleston Branch NAACP; as Board Chairman of the P.A.S.T.O.R.S. Community Development Corporation; as Co-Chairman of the Charleston Area Justice Ministry; as Board President of the South Carolina Civil Liberties Union; and as frequent contributor to the op-ed pages of many newspapers\, most recently in the Post & Courier on the question of school choice. Reverend Darby lives in Charleston with his wife\, Mary\, and they are the proud parents of two adult sons\, Jason Christopher and Jeremy Christian.

DESCRIPTION:For tickets\, please call (843) 723-9912 or click here. $20 members\, $25 nonmembers. \nWhen cataclysmic events rock our present day—when it seems so clear that we are living history—it can feel impossible to know much beyond that visceral fact. That is\, to know what history we are living\, and where this moment will fit in the wider narrative of our times. Historian David Blight\, one of the nation’s foremost scholars of the Civil War and Reconstruction\, and particularly the role of memory in history\, holds in his mind such a command of the last 300+ years of American and Southern life that he can endeavor\, with confidence\, to tell us what today means. \nProfessor Blight is Class of 1954 Professor of American History at Yale University\, where he is also Director of the Gilder Lehman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition. He is the author of several seminal books on slavery and the Civil War\, including Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory (Harvard University Press\, 2001)\, which received eight book awards\, including the Bancroft Prize\, the Abraham Lincoln Prize\, and the Frederick Douglass Prize as well as four awards from the Organization of American Historians. He is currently writing a new\, full biography of Frederick Douglass that will be published by Simon and Schuster in 2015. In addition to his academic work\, Professor Blight works in many capacities in the world of public history\, and is a member of a small team of advisors to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.  For that institution he wrote the recently published essay\, “Will It Rise: September 11 in American Memory.”  In 2012\, Blight was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and delivered an induction address\, “The Pleasure and Pain of History.”

SUMMARY:Jon Meacham: Destiny and Power
DESCRIPTION:To purchase tickets\, click here or call (843) 723-9912. \nThe format for this event will be an interview/discussion with Jon Meacham and John Huey\, former Editor-in-Chief at Time\, Inc\, who got his start as a reporter at The Atlanta Constitution before heading to The Wall Street Journal and then Time Inc.  It will be a lively\, entertaining opportunity to see and hear two great minds discuss Bush ’41. \nThe evening will begin at 6:00 and will be followed by an opportunity to have a glass of wine with the author at the Library.  Tickets can be purchased for $65\, which will include a signed bookplate and copy of Destiny and Power. \nIn this brilliant biography\, Jon Meacham\, the Pulitzer Prize–winning author\, chronicles the life of George Herbert Walker Bush. Drawing on President Bush’s personal diaries\, on the diaries of his wife\, Barbara\, and on extraordinary access to the forty-first president and his family\, Meacham paints an intimate and surprising portrait of an intensely private man who led the nation through tumultuous times. From the Oval Office to Camp David\, from his study in the private quarters of the White House to Air Force One\, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the first Gulf War to the end of Communism\, Destiny and Power charts the thoughts\, decisions\, and emotions of a modern president who may have been the last of his kind. This is the human story of a man who was\, like the nation he led\, at once noble and flawed. \nHis was one of the great American lives. Born into a loving\, privileged\, and competitive family\, Bush joined the navy on his eighteenth birthday and at age twenty was shot down on a combat mission over the Pacific. He married young\, started a family\, and resisted pressure to go to Wall Street\, striking out for the adventurous world of Texas oil. Over the course of three decades\, Bush would rise from the chairmanship of his county Republican Party to serve as congressman\, ambassador to the United Nations\, head of the Republican National Committee\, envoy to China\, director of Central Intelligence\, vice president under Ronald Reagan\, and\, finally\, president of the United States. In retirement he became the first president since John Adams to see his son win the ultimate prize in American politics. \nWith access not only to the Bush diaries but\, through extensive interviews\, to the former president himself\, Meacham presents Bush’s candid assessments of many of the critical figures of the age\, ranging from Richard Nixon to Nancy Reagan; Mao to Mikhail Gorbachev; Dick Cheney to Donald Rumsfeld; Henry Kissinger to Bill Clinton. Here is high politics as it really is but as we rarely see it. \nFrom the Pacific to the presidency\, Destiny and Power charts the vicissitudes of the life of this quietly compelling American original. Meacham sheds new light on the rise of the right wing in the Republican Party\, a shift that signaled the beginning of the end of the center in American politics. Destiny and Power is an affecting portrait of a man who\, driven by destiny and by duty\, forever sought\, ultimately\, to put the country first. \nAdvance praise for Destiny and Power \n“Altogether fair\, insightful . . . a portrait made especially compelling by the author’s remarkable access to Bush’s private White House diaries. This is a timely\, first-rate book!”—David McCullough \n“What a spectacular and moving portrait this is—not only of a remarkably classy man but of the era that shaped him! It is hard to imagine a biographer more fitted than Jon Meacham to write what will surely be the definitive work on George Herbert Walker Bush.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin \n“This astonishing book is both timely and timeless. . . . A fascinating and insightful portrayal of the life of an exemplary American citizen.”—Walter Isaacson \n“Jon Meacham’s timely and intimate biography of George Bush 41 is a welcome reminder of this modest president’s call to service\, from the cockpits of World War II to the Oval Office and the end of the Cold War.”—Tom Brokaw \n“This riveting biography by the incomparable Jon Meacham gives George H. W. Bush his well-deserved place in history. Destiny and Power is full of surprises\, revealing 41’s important role in scene after crucial historical scene of the past seven decades.”—Michael Beschloss

SUMMARY:CLS Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The CLS Book Club returns for the first time in the New Year. This Book Club selection will be H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. The presentation will have a special guest speaker\, Birds of Prey. They will have live hawks to show and discuss. \n* NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\n* Winner of the 2014 Samuel Johnson Prize\n* Named the Costa Book of the Year\n* #1 bestseller in the UK \nWhen Helen Macdonald’s father died suddenly on a London street\, she was devastated. An experienced falconer—Helen had been captivated by hawks since childhood—she’d never before been tempted to train one of the most vicious predators\, the goshawk. But in her grief\, she saw that the goshawk’s fierce and feral temperament mirrored her own. Resolving to purchase and raise the deadly creature as a means to cope with her loss\, she adopted Mabel\, and turned to the guidance of The Once and Future King author T.H. White’s chronicle The Goshawk to begin her challenging endeavor. Projecting herself “in the hawk’s wild mind to tame her” tested the limits of Macdonald’s humanity and changed her life. \nHeart-wrenching and humorous\, this book is an unflinching account of bereavement and a unique look at the magnetism of an extraordinary beast\, with a parallel examination of a legendary writer’s eccentric falconry. Obsession\, madness\, memory\, myth\, and history combine to achieve a distinctive blend of nature writing and memoir from an outstanding literary innovator. \nTo RSVP please call 843-723-9912 or email dreutter@charlestonlibrarysociety.org.

SUMMARY:Brazilian Carnival at the Library
DESCRIPTION:A Brazilian combo\, Porto Seguro\, with guest vocalist\, Ann Caldwell present a tour of Brazilian music\, culture and Carnival traditions at the Charleston Library Society.  Join the fun on Tuesday\, February 9 at 7:30 for Mardi Gras — the last night of Carnival week — and experience the colorful diversity of the Brazilian celebration. Ann Caldwell and Porto Seguro will perform a concert of Brazilian Choro\, Bossa Nova and Samba\, supported by images from throughout Brazil.  The evening will culminate in a reception with caipirinhas (Brazil’s national drink)\, samba dancing\, more music and the drumming of Capoeira Charleston. \nTickets for this event are $25 for members\, $35 for nonmembers\, and $10 for students (with valid ID). To purchase call 843-723-9912 or click here. \nGuest vocalist\, Ann Caldwell\, beloved in the Charleston area for her virtuosic jazz chops and leadership of the Magnolia Singers\, has the quiet energy of a windmill yet the soulful voice and power of a locomotive. Ann’s rich\, organic sound wraps around a note\, then takes it and the listener to a different space in time. Ann brings a unique rhythm to every\, beat and word. Ann will lend her vocal stylings to some of Brazil’s best known samba and bossa classics. \nPorto Seguro is four talented musicians from diverse backgrounds playing three musical styles considered the roots of Brazilian jazz: choro\, bossa nova andsamba. Choro\, originating from the early 20th century\, combines Afro-Brazilian and European sounds into a happy-go-lucky mix that simply makes you want to smile. Bossa nova (think Tom Jobim\, João Gilberto and Stan Getz) and put Brazilian music front and center on the world stage in the 1950’s\, but choro was the first true Brazilian pop music. Almost all the music played during the Rio Carnival is samba\, a uniquely Brazilian dance form originating from Afro-Brazilians. The word samba comes from the Angolan world semba referring to a type of ritual music. The word had a variety of meanings to the African slaves brought to Brazil during the 17th\, 18th and 19th centuries. It meant to pray or invoke the spirits of the ancestors and the gods of the African Pantheon. As a noun\, it could mean a complaint\, a cry\, or something like “the blues”. \n All three styles present a distinctively Brazilian combination of bravado\, laid-back vibe\, rhythm and soul. They require a delicate balance between expert instrumental technique and the ability to ease into the groove. Members\, Susan Conant\, flutes; John Holenko\, mandolin; Tom Noren\, guitar and Jonathan Kennedy\, bass provide just that. Their entertaining and informative program explores a range of moods and instrumentations. Audiences rave about their performances which have occurred in both quiet indoor listening rooms and at outdoor community picnics. \n “The concert last night was simply amazing. There must have been 200 people and they stayed and stayed.” \n“The whole evening was magical.” \n“It was a wonderful night for sure. The music was great\, the weather perfect and even my kids had a lot of fun.” \nPorto Seguro’s members hail from diverse backgrounds but have one important quality in common — they are all devoted to making excellent music.  Each member of the group brings a different perspective and the result is a kind of cross-cultural sharing that produces a unique but cohesive blend of Brazilian music with an American twist. The players are all top notch and the music sublime. \nCapoeira Charleston is a fun and diverse group of Capoeira and Brazilian dance enthusiasts led by professor Quiexo. Capoeira (pronounced “cop-o-way-rah”) is an extraordinary and unique martial art that finds its origins among the African slaves in Brazil. It combines self-defense\, acrobatics\, dance\, music and song. Its martial aspects began developing in the 16th and 17th centuries\, as a means of protection by the slaves from their owners. It was consequently banned\, and became hidden in a dance; it was ‘played’ within a circle of onlookers and musicians using percussive and stringed instruments- primarily the berimbau\, a stringed bow-like instrument from Angola. It was in the circle (a roda in Portuguese) where highly skilled capoeristas performed their art using a system of kicks\, leg sweeps\, and flips.

During the course of one fateful Thanksgiving week\, a time when emotions run high and being with family can be a mixed blessing\, Aidan Donnelley Rowley’s sharply defined characters explore the moments when decisions are deliberately made\, choices accepted\, and pasts reconciled. \nClio Marsh\, whose birdwatching walks through Central Park are mentioned in New York Magazine\, is taking her first tentative steps towards a relationship while also looking back to the secrets of her broken childhood. Her best friend\, Smith Anderson\, the seemingly-perfect daughter of one of New York’s wealthiest families\, organizes the lives of others as her own has fallen apart.

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: Matthew Heimer
DESCRIPTION:Keeping Up With Generation iPhone \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers- For tickets\, please call (843) 723-9912 or click here. \nHow Fortune and its readers are adapting to the rise of the millennials. \nIn 2015\, millennials – loosely defined as adults born after 1980 – became the largest generation in the American labor force. The demographic dominance of this highly educated\, tech-savvy and often difficult-to-manage group\, 53 million strong\, has created tremendous opportunities and daunting challenges for the executives and corporate leaders who subscribe to Fortune. And of course\, they also pose challenges to Fortune itself\, as the venerable publication aims to woo millennials as an audience and deliver news and analysis to them the way they like it (ideally\, short\, fast and via their iPhones). \nFortune senior editor Matt Heimer (a Gen X-er who manages several millennials\, and actually likes them) shares some insights about how the maturing of a new generation is shaping both what Fortune chooses to cover and how it covers it. \nMatthew Heimer is the senior Editor at Fortune Magazine\, editing features and overseeing the investing section. Prior to his appointment at Fortune\, Matt was a senior editor at MarketWatch\, where he edited long-form features and multimedia projects helped launch and oversee the website’s revamped retirement and personal-finance coverage. A graduate of Yale University and past member of the a Capella singing group\, the Whiffenpoofs\, Heimer’s talent are far from limited. He hold’s a master’s degree in law and journalism from Yale Law School\, where he was a Knight Fellow. Notably\, in addition to having close ties to Charleston\, he’s also a former contestant on “Jeopardy!” – so be sure to phrase your welcome messages to him in the form of a question.
