SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT—Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory
DESCRIPTION:Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory \nClaudio Saunt\, the Richard B. Russell Professor in American History at the University of Georgia\, discusses his new book Unworthy Republic: The Dispossession of Native Americans and the Road to Indian Territory\, in which he explores how Native American expulsion became national policy and describes the chaotic and deadly results of the operation to deport 80\,000 men\, women\, and children in order to secure new lands for the expansion of slavery and to consolidate the power of the southern states. In telling this gripping story\, Saunt shows how the politics and economics of white supremacy lay at the heart of expulsion; how corruption\, greed\, and administrative indifference and incompetence contributed to the debacle of its implementation; and how the consequences still resonate today. Registration for this virtual event is required. \nThis virtual lecture is supported in part by Georgia Humanities\, in collaboration with the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University\, as part of Georgia Humanities’ Civic Engagement Track at the virtual Decatur Book Festival.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT—Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All
DESCRIPTION:Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All \nSuzanne Nossel\, CEO of PEN America\, the writers’ human rights organization devoted to the celebration and defense of free expression worldwide\, will discuss her new book Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All. In an era in which free speech is often invoked as a principle but rarely understood\, learning to maneuver the fast-changing\, treacherous landscape of public discourse has never been more urgent. Nossel offers a vital\, necessary guide to maintaining democratic debate that is open but respectful of the rich diversity of backgrounds and opinions in a changing country. Nossel will be joined in conversation by Emory historian Joe Crespino. \nThis virtual lecture is supported in part by Georgia Humanities\, as part of Georgia Humanities’ Civic Engagement Track at the virtual Decatur Book Festival.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT—The Liberating Promise of Philanthropy: Stories of Grant-Makers in the South
DESCRIPTION:The Liberating Promise of Philanthropy: Stories of Grant-Makers in the South \nMartin Lehfeldt\, former president of the Southeastern Council of Foundations\, and co-author Jamil Zainaldin\, president emeritus of Georgia Humanities\, discuss their book The Liberating Promise of Philanthropy: Stories of Grant-Makers in the South. Very little until now has been written about the way in which grant-making foundations shaped and were shaped by the South. The authors begin their story with the role our country’s Founders envisioned for philanthropy in the new republic\, and end with an examination of modern philanthropy in the region. Particular attention is given to the crippling effect that slavery\, Jim Crow\, and the Lost Cause has had upon the building of a civil society in the South\, and how generous and compassionate philanthropists have worked to alleviate that burden. The authors assert that foundations are at their best when they help to move people from a state of dependency to one of self-sufficiency\, and thereby contribute to the building of a democratic\, civil society. \nThis virtual lecture is supported in part by Georgia Humanities\, as part of Georgia Humanities’ Civic Engagement Track at the virtual Decatur Book Festival.
