These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. </p><p>Conjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disney’s <em>The Little Mermaid </em>(2023), and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean.</p><p>From the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history, sourcing letters from the enslaved, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. <em>The Conjuring of America</em> is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope.</p><p>Join us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. </p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/107481" target="_blank">Register for free today!</a><br><br></p><p><img src="/images/eLibrary/LSC/LSC-2.24_Smithsonian-Crouch_web.jpg" alt="" style="margin:5px;" /><br></p><h3><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/108058" target="_blank">Smithson’s Gamble: The Incredible History Behind the World’s Largest Museum with Smithsonian Curator Emeritus Tom Crouch</a><br></h3><h4 style="font-size:13px;"><strong><em>A Library Speakers Consortium and Smithsonian Institution Collaboration</em></strong></h4><span style="font-size:1em;color:#777777;">Tuesday, February 24 at 12 p.m.</span><p></p><p>Tom D.

Told in rich detail, <em>Smithson's Gamble</em> reveals how, as it defined a role rooted in curiosity and exploration, the Smithsonian helped to shape the nation's developing identity.</p><p>The Smithsonian evolved from a small, narrowly focused organization into an institution leading the way in fields from astrophysics to zoology. Smithsonian researchers, and the hundreds of citizen scientists who they recruited, created a collection that documented the natural and human history of a continent. The American conservation movement and a national weather service are rooted at the Smithsonian. <em>Smithson's Gamble</em> is filled with fascinating characters, twists and turns, and moments of triumph and tragedy, complete with political machinations, a bit of backstabbing, accusations of murder, and the occasional scandal.</p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/108058" target="_blank">Register now to take part in the conversation</a> and learn about the trials, errors, and incredible legacy of the Smithsonian’s foundation.<br><br></p><p><img src="/images/eLibrary/LSC/LSC-3.4_Perry_web.jpg" alt="" style="margin:5px;" /><br></p><div><h3><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/115532" target="_blank">Humor, Heart, and Reflective Rural Stories with Michael Perry</a><br></h3><h4>Wednesday, March 4 at 12 p.m.<br></h4><p></p><p>Join us in conversation with bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry, whose collection of genre-spanning works encapsulates the experiences–and the magic–of rural town communities and the everyday people who reside in them. <br><br>In Michael Perry’s memoir, <em>Population: 485</em>, the local vigilante is a farmer's wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives, and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, Perry tells a frequently comic tale leavened with moments of heartbreaking delicacy and searing tragedy. <br><br><em>Jesus Cow</em>, Perry’s fiction debut, is a hilarious yet sincere exploration of faith and the foibles of modern life. Low-key Harley Jackson finds himself entangled in drama from all corners: A woman in a big red pickup has stolen his bachelor’s heart, a Hummer-driving predatory developer is threatening to pave the last vestiges of his family farm, and inside his barn is a calf bearing the image of Jesus Christ–a secret he wants to keep quiet, until the truth slips right through the barn door. <br></p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/115532" target="_blank">Register today to hear more about Perry’s expansive collection of stories</a>!<br><br></p></div><h3 style="text-align:center;"><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary" target="_blank">Learn more about the Library Speakers Consortium and view all upcoming events.</a><br></h3><p><br></p></div> | library-speakers-consortium | |
