SUMMARY:Open Book / Open Mind: Ray Isle\, “The World in a Wineglass”
DESCRIPTION:The event is free but registration is required. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. After the discussion\, there will be a Q&A period and a book signing and sale with Watchung Booksellers. The event will be followed by a wine-tasting fundraising event with the Montclair Library Foundation. Details to come! \nOpen Book / Open Mind is sponsored by Montclair Public Library Foundation\, Watchung Booksellers\, the New Jersey Council on Humanities\, Dave and Mary Lee Jones\, Rosemary Iversen\, and an anonymous donor. We are also grateful for the generous support of our in-kind sponsors\, First Congregational Church of Montclair\, The George\, and Amanti Vino. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nRay Isle is the longtime executive wine editor for Food & Wine as well as the wine and spirits editor for Travel + Leisure. He writes Food & Wine’s monthly “What to Drink Next” column as well as regular feature articles for Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure’s print issues.

He has won the IACP award for narrative beverage writing three times\, the American Food Journalists award for beverage writing\, and the North American Travel Journalists Association gold award\, and has been nominated three times for a James Beard Award in beverage writing. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York. \nABOUT THE BOOK\n“So much of today’s wine is mass-produced\, industrially farmed\, corporate-owned\, and essentially\, ordinary. In “The World in a Wineglass\,” veteran wine writer Ray Isle explains that the way a wine is made\, and who made it\, can make a huge difference when you drink it—and why that information matters much more than knowing it scored 90 points. Or that it tastes like blueberries. Or “hints of violets and black pepper.” Isle’s enthusiasm for the grape growers and winemakers who are working sustainably or organically shines through as he shares his love for the way a glass of wine can express the place it comes from and capture the essence of the person who made it. Focusing on wines people can afford\, rather than $500 rarities\, Isle shows us where and how to find the most interesting bottles out there today.”—Simon & Schuster \n“For many years\, [Isle] has been the wine editor for Food & Wine magazine….His palate is beyond reliable. It should be insured\, as Betty Grable’s legs were\, by Lloyd’s of London. I would take his wine advice to the bank. —The New York Times. \nABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER\nSharon Sevrens—a former management consultant for Mercer Management Consulting and Merrill Lynch investment banker—opened Amanti Vino in Montclair in 2005. She is a sommelier and Diploma-certified by the prestigious UK-based Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) and the Sommelier Society of America. She received her BS and MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. \n\nRegister on the Montclair Public Library website »

SUMMARY:Open Book / Open Mind: Howell Raines\, “Silent Cavalry”
DESCRIPTION:The event is free but registration is required. Doors open at 3:30 p.m. After the discussion\, there will be a Q&A period and a book signing and sale with Watchung Booksellers. \nOpen Book / Open Mind is sponsored by Montclair Public Library Foundation\, Watchung Booksellers\, the New Jersey Council on Humanities\, Rosemary Iversen and David and Mary Lee Jones. This event is sponsored by Jill and Alan Johnson. We are also grateful for the generous support of our in-kind sponsors\, First Congregational Church of Montclair\, The George\, and Amanti Vino. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nBefore stepping down in 2003\, Howell Raines was executive editor of The New York Times. He is the author of “Whiskey Man\,” a novel\, and “My Soul Is Rested\,” an oral history of the Civil Rights movement. He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for feature writing in 1992. \nABOUT THE BOOK\n“Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta–and Then Got Written Out of History.” \nWe all know how the Civil War was won: Courageous Yankees triumphed over the South. But is there more to the story? \nAs Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Howell Raines shows\, it was not only soldiers from northern states who helped General William Tecumseh Sherman burn Atlanta to the ground but also an unsung regiment of 2\,066 Alabamian yeoman farmers—including at least one member of Raines’s own family. \nCalled the First Alabama Cavalry\, U.S.A.\, this regiment of mountain Unionists\, which included sixteen formerly enslaved Black men\, was the point of the spear that Sherman drove through the heart of the Confederacy. The famed general hailed their skills and courage. So why don’t we know anything about them?” —Penguin Random House \n“’Silent Cavalry’ marks another chapter in Raines’s storied career of giving voice to the voiceless\, highlighting the men and women who\, without proper credit\, did their part to make America a better\, more equitable place.”—Henry Louis Gates Jr. \nABOUT THE CONVERSATION PARTNER\nEdward Ball is the author of six nonfiction books\, including his first\, “Slaves in the Family\,” and “Life of a Klansman\,” his most recent. “Slaves in the Family” (1998) is Edward’s account of his paternal family’s 170 years as slaveholders in South Carolina. It received the National Book Award for Nonfiction. “Life of a Klansman” (2020) tells the story of one of Edward’s maternal ancestors\, a carpenter in Louisiana who took up the cause of fanatical racism to become a marauder in the Ku Klux Klan. Edward has taught at Yale University and has received fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard\, as well as a Guggenheim Fellowship\, in 2023. \n\nRegister on the Montclair Public Library website »

SUMMARY:Living History Visit with Sojourner Truth
DESCRIPTION:Born Isabella Baumfree\, Sojourner Truth was enslaved for nearly the first decade of her life by the Hardenbergh family of New York\, relatives of Rev. Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh of New Jersey’s Old Dutch Parsonage. \nThe slave from a small town north of New York City changed hands several times\, sold by one brutal owner to another just as harsh. Her life included repeated beatings\, rapes and a forced marriage. In 1826\, having been promised freedom\, but then cruelly denied emancipation\, she left her current owners and found her way to the Van Wageners’ home. There she had an epiphany\, became a devout Christian\, and renamed herself Sojourner Truth\, after which she began her travels as a preacher. In 1850\, Sojourner began speaking on women’s suffrage\, believing the causes of abolition and women’s rights to be intertwined and equally important. Ms. Truth’s most quoted speech\, “Ain’t I a Woman?” was delivered at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in Akron\, Ohio. Although there has been much dispute about the words she spoke and the rhythm of her speech\, there is no debate about the power and integrity of the speaker or about the impact of the speech and the speaker’s life. Truth also helped recruit black troops during the Civil War for the Union Army\, and she worked as a Union nurse. \nDr. Daisy Century gives a commanding performance of Ms. Truth\, bringing to life a woman undeterred by incredible obstacles\, a woman who mixed with the leading figures of her day\, including Susan B. Anthony\, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. Audience members are urged to consider the twin goals of racial and gender parity of equal importance. \nNJCH is a proud sponsor of this event. \nClick here to reserve your spot »

SUMMARY:Price of Liberty Film Series: Reparations Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:NJCH is proud to be a sponsor of the Montclair History Center’s The Price of Liberty film and discussion series. \nThis is the eighth year for the series\, which focuses on issues related to race\, segregation\, integration\, and Civil Rights. This year’s 2023 series explores reparations and social justice sought for African American and Asian communities in the films Free Renty (2021) by filmmaker David Grubin and Reparations (2021) by filmmaker Jon Osaki.  \nReparations explores the four-century struggle to seek repair and atonement for slavery in the United States. Black and Asian Americans reflect on the legacy of slavery\, the inequities that persists\, and the critical role that solidarity between communities has in acknowledging and addressing systemic racism in America. This story is told by Black and Asian Americans who believe that our collective liberation can only be achieved by standing with one another. Reparations seeks to raise awareness of the Black reparations struggle and how vital it is to healing this country.  \nThe film will be screened on Wednesday\, March 29 at 7 pm at Montclair Film’s Cinema 505 at 505 Bloomfield Ave\, Montclair. Screenings will be available as a hybrid event for online participation through Zoom and free to the public\, no registration required. Screenings and discussion will be led by scholars Leslie Wilson\, PhD and Khemani Gibson\, PhD.  \nFor full information\, visit https://www.montclairhistory.org/all-events/2023/2/22/price-of-liberty-film-series-reparations-screening-amp-discussion-zyy84.
