SUMMARY:WLA/WHS Scholarly Series – Sex\, Scandal\, and Upheaval: 1919 – What’s Changed? with Cecelia Bucki
DESCRIPTION:In the 12th year of the collaboration between Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society\, the scholarly lecture series theme is ‘Sex\, Scandal and Upheaval: 1919–What’s Changed?’ \nHistorian and author Cecelia Bucki\, Ph.D.\, will survey the domestic unrest that plagued the United States following the end of World War One. The Treaty of Versailles signaled the end of World War One but on the home front\, conflict continued. The Great War and its aftermath resulted in domestic repercussions such as general strikes\, labor unrest\, race riots\, and Palmer raids. Nationally and here in Connecticut\, peace remained elusive. This part of 1919 remains an untold part of 20th century U.S. history. \nBucki has taught American history at Fairfield University for more than 25 years. Her specialties within U.S. History are social\, labor and working-class\, and immigration history. She is the author of the award-winning Bridgeport’s Socialist New Deal\, 1915-1936 (University of Illinois Press\, 2001). From 2011-2017\, she was editor-in-chief of the journal Connecticut History Review. \nSee the library’s registration link for details. \nThe lecture is sponsored by Lila and Buck Griswold; Max Gabrielson is the moderator. The remaining lectures are as follows (please note the location of each lecture): \n\nMarch 10 at the Wilton Historical Society:  “Men in Black Sox\,” with Steve Wulf\, ESPN\nMarch 31 at the Wilton Historical Society:  “Votes for Women” with Pam Dougherty\, Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame.\n\nReception follows the talk. There is no charge but donations are always welcomed. Registration is required. Please register for each lecture individually.

SUMMARY:"A Journey...."  One-Woman Show by Kimberly Wilson
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of March as Women’s History Month\, Wilton Library and the Wilton Historical Society present A Journey . . .\, a one-woman show by Westport writer and actress Kimberly Wilson. Wilson was awarded “Best Playwright” in 2016 by the Atlanta Black Theatre Festival for the piece. At the end of the presentation\, Wilson will conduct a “talk-back” session. \nRooted in research\, A Journey is a tour-de-force of acting and song\, as the statuesque Wilson modulates her powerful contralto from a whisper to a fervent spiritual\, capturing the spirits of Harriet Tubman\, Sojourner Truth\, Rosa Parks\, Maya Angelou\, two invented characters she calls the ‘Slave Woman’ and ‘African Queen\,’ and a new historical figure\, Haggar Tonquin of Wilton. Wilson skillfully tells of the struggles and influence of Black womanhood as an integral part of the history of the United States. \nA reception will follow the talk. No charge but donations are always welcomed. See the library’s registration link for more details. Registration is highly recommended. Register online or call 203.762.6334.

Martha will talk about her newest book\, The Martha Manual:  How to Do (Almost) Everything\, with her publicist and dear friend\, Susan Magrino. \nStewart has done everything from launch an iconic magazine brand to host her own Emmy-award winning lifestyle show. Most recently\, the nation has seen her co-host Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party and appear as a recurring guest judge on Chopped. Stewart has written dozens of bestselling books on cooking\, entertaining\, and homekeeping\, but never has she published a single\, career-spanning volume where readers can easily turn for all her essential life tips. \nMagrino\, a New Canaan resident\, is chairman and CEO of Magrino Public Relations. Her early career was at Crown Publishing\, working in the publicity department\, where she first met her client Martha Stewart. These were the formative years of Martha Stewart the author\, which became Martha Stewart the brand. From book tours\, cooking demonstrations\, store appearances to television shows\, Susan was there from the start managing Martha’s public persona.What began as a business relationship continues to this day but more importantly is a friendship. \nElaine Tai-Lauria\, executive director of Wilton Library\, remarked on Stewart’s upcoming visit\, “We are thrilled to have Martha Stewart here in conversation with her friend Susan Magrino. Martha is such a well-known figure we just knew our audience would love to see her in person delivering her sage advice.” \nThe Martha Manual:How to Do (Almost) Everything is the first book to encompass Martha’s lifetime’s expertise in one beautifully illustrated\, practical handbook. It is an indispensable guide to doing things the Martha way with hundreds of projects and advice that capture her incomparable taste and guidance. The manual is designed for all readers\, regardless of age or stage of life. There is something useful within the pages whether newlyweds\, homeowners or first-time apartment renters\, recent college grads\, empty nesters\, freelancers working from home\, parents – and even pet parents. Topics in the book include but are not limited to:  Organize\, Refresh & Embellish\, Craft & Create\, Host & Entertain\, Enjoy\, Cook\, and Celebrate. \nStewart is an Emmy Award-winning television show host\, entrepreneur\, bestselling author of over 90 books\, and America’s most trusted lifestyle expert and teacher. Millions of people rely on Stewart as a source of useful “how-to” information for all aspects of everyday living – cooking\, entertaining\, gardening\, home renovating\, collecting\, organizing\, crafting\, healthy living\, holidays\, weddings\, and pet care. \nLauren McLaughlin\, assistant director of Wilton Library and responsible for visiting authors\, noted\, “With our Innovation Station at Wilton Library\, we have so many crafters who are a built-in audience for Ms. Stewart\, and we are sure they will eagerly look forward to her visit. Her books are always well received.” \nTickets for the event are $35 which includes two seats at the talk and a hardcover copy of The Martha Manual: How to Do (Almost) Everything. Advance ticket purchase is required; the tickets are non-refundable. A portion of the book sales will benefit Wilton Library. Please note the library will close at 5 p.m. in preparation for the event. Books will be distributed at check-in when the doors reopen at 6 p.m. Additional Manuals will be available for purchase that evening courtesy of Elm Street Books of New Canaan.

SUMMARY:Wilton Library’s Human Library
DESCRIPTION:“Don’t judge a book by its cover”—but in this case\, we mean human beings\, not books! \nThe Human Library is an international movement that started in Denmark in 2000 and is now held in more than 70 countries. Wilton Library is the first non-academic library in Connecticut to receive permission from the Human Library Organization to host an event. \nOur human books are community members who have volunteered to share their stories in order to break down barriers based on appearance or identity (e.g.; age\, race\, sexual orientation\, religion\, ability\, lifestyle choices\, etc.). This is the time for open conversations between two people in a non-judgmental environment. Spend a few minutes with each “book.” It is an opportunity for those who have faced prejudice to tell their story and show people who they really are; and it is a chance for others to change their preconceived notions based on a person’s appearance or identity. \nThere is no advance registration or fee; guests are invited to come and enjoy the experience.

SUMMARY:Statues\, Boulders\, and Monoliths:  The World War One Memorials of Connecticut Illustrated Talk by Richard Donohue
DESCRIPTION:As the First World War ended\, American communities such as Wilton hurried to memorialize the great efforts of their sons and daughters. Changes in cultural and civic ideals since the American Civil War led to extensive public discourse about what memorials should and should not be. Government leaders\, artists\, historians\, and the monument industry itself promoted ideas from simple tablets to monoliths rivaling those of Egypt and Rome. Memorials throughout Connecticut exemplify this entire range of monumental styles. \nHistorian Richard Donohue will be presenting an illustrated talk on the World War I Monuments of Connecticut at the Wilton Historical Society. He will share stories of their design\, placement\, and the people memorialized on them. Special attention will be given to the many in Wilton. This illustrated program lasts for approximately one hour\, with questions\, and includes images of memorials throughout the 169 towns of Connecticut\, accompanied by musical recordings of the period. A light lunch is included. \nThis program is presented as part of the exhibition\, “Bullets\, Bonds and Butter:  Wilton Responds to War\,” which will be on display in the Burt Barn Gallery from March 15-May 11\, 2019. \nDonohue is the town historian of his hometown of Cromwell\, CT. His original research has formed the basis of museum exhibits\, travelling lectures\, and living history programs on topics ranging from 18th-century slavery to Civil War-era subscription balls to early 20th-century marine engines. As president and program director of the Cromwell Historical Society for nearly 15 years and a teacher in both public and private schools for 25 years\, he strives to enhance his town’s interest and participation in local and national history. In addition to his work with history\, Donohue is a tenor soloist specializing in Middle English carols\, Bach arias\, and German Lieder and is the director of the 1876 Singing Society at Mystic Seaport. \nWilton Historical Society members attend for free; the cost for non-members is $10 per person. Please register for World War I Memorials of Connecticut via email or by calling 203.762.7257.
