Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely.</p><p>In <em>When Trees Testify</em>, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees, as well as the cotton shrub, are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants.</p><p>Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer.</p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/186159" target="_blank">Register today for this insightful discussion about Black history and botanical mastery. </a></p><p><br></p><p><img src="/images/eLibrary/LSC/LSC-8.27-Foley_web.jpg" alt="Black and white photo of author Lucy Foley alongside her book Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel on an icy mountain background" style="margin:5px;" class="" /></p><h3><span></span><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/186821" target="_blank">High Altitudes and High Stakes: A Miss Marple Mystery with Lucy Foley</a></h3><h4>Thursday, August 27 at 11 a.m.<span></span></h4><p><br></p><p></p><p>Join us for a thrilling conversation with acclaimed author Lucy Foley as we delve into her brand-new Miss Marple mystery,<em> Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel</em>. <br><br>High in the Swiss Alps, accessible only by a single, winding railway, stands the luxurious Grand Alpine Hotel.

Stewart about his newest work, <em>The Democracy We Must Keep</em>, and the question he explores throughout the book: What did America's founders say about democracy, and can we remain true to their vision for America?<br><br>Two hundred fifty years ago, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies, but on ideas where the people ruled.<br><br>In <em>The Democracy We Must Keep</em>, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry's thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution.<br><br>Through the words of seven visionary founders—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris, and others—Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-government took shape.<br><br>These men were not saints. They argued passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet together, they forged the principles that must still define American democracy:<br></p><ul><li aria-level="1">Power must be limited.</li><li aria-level="1">Leaders must answer to the people.</li><li aria-level="1">Individual rights must be protected by law.</li></ul><p>As the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary, <em>The Democracy We Must Keep</em> urges readers to rediscover core ideas that built the nation—and to consider what it will take to protect them.</p><p><a href="https://libraryc.org/phoenixpubliclibrary/195005" target="_blank">Register today to gain a deeper understanding of how American democracy started, why it still matters, and the active role each generation must play to uphold it</a>.<br></p><p><br></p><br></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><br></h3></div><br></div> | library-speakers-consortium | |
