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—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.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT—A Live Reading of Sovereignty
DESCRIPTION:A Live Reading of Sovereignty \nSovereignty\, written by playwright Mary Kathryn Nagle\, examines the intersections of personal and political truths and historic and contemporary struggles through two parallel timelines. In present-day Oklahoma\, a young Cherokee lawyer\, Sarah Ridge Polson\, and her colleague Jim Ross\, defend the inherent jurisdiction of the Cherokee Nation in the United States Supreme Court when a non-Indian defendant challenges the Nation’s authority to prosecute non-Indian perpetrators of domestic violence. \nPolson and Ross are juxtaposed with scenes from 1835\, when the Cherokee Nation was eight hundred miles to the east in the southern Appalachians\, and when Polson’s and Ross’s ancestors\, historic Cherokee rivals\, were bitterly divided over the Treaty of New Echota\, which led to the Cherokee Nation’s removal to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears. \nThe reading\, which reunites director Molly Smith with members of the original cast\, will provide a unique opportunity for a live theater experience from home. Following the online reading\, Mary Kathryn Nagle\, an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation and a direct descendant of nineteenth-century Cherokee leaders John Ridge and Major Ridge\, will be joined in conversation with Sarah Deer\, professor of women’s\, gender\, and sexuality studies at the University of Kansas and a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma. \nThe event is open to the public. Registration for this online event is $25. Proceeds will support opportunities for Native American students at the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University. \nA Live Reading of Sovereignty is presented in partnership with Georgia Humanities\, the Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory University\, and the Decatur Book Festival.
