SUMMARY:Gold For Ghosts: Rick Beyer's Amazing Campaign for History's Hidden Heroes
DESCRIPTION:Nearly 20 years ago\, while living in Lexington\, author and filmmaker Rick Beyer learned the incredible story of the WWII deception units known as The Ghost Army. He soon launched a quest to tell the world about their exploits\, and to make sure what they did would never be forgotten. That led to the Ghost Army documentary (2013)\, the book (2015)\, and finally the Congressional Gold Medal (2024)\, the highest honor Congress can bestow. \nNow Rick returns to Lexington to recount his epic Ghost Army journey. It began on a winter’s day in a Lexington coffee shop\, and after inumerable twists and turns\, culminated in a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol presided over by the Speaker of the House. Rick will share insights\, anecdotes\, and behind-the-scenes adventures from this wild 20-year ride that so many people in Lexington took part in. All illustrated with rarely seen photos and footage. A story about what it really takes to see history preserved and remembered. \n“The Ghost Army” is one of those remarkable projects where the underlying story of bringing the history to light winds up nearly as compelling as the historical tale itself. Rick Beyer will share both those stories June 13. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers\, $5 veterans\, active duty military FREE. \nDoors will open at 6:30 for refreshments.

SUMMARY:Book Chat on American Midnight with Adam Hochschild
DESCRIPTION:America in the World War I era was a tinderbox: a time of fierce debate over labor rights\, free speech\, and racial equality. In an era marked by vigilanteism spurred on by the government\, citizen turned against citizen in the war over what it means to be American. Lynchings\, suppression of the press\, and violence against conscientious objectors marred our ideals of democracy. A colorful cast of characters\, from Woodrow Wilson to Emma Goldman and J. Edgar Hoover joined in the fray. \nJoin author Adam Hochschild for a conversation on this little-known era of American history whose legacy is still felt with us today. Meeting is in-person and the author will join us virtually. \nFree!
