SUMMARY:Friday Book Club - Carry On: Reflections for a New Generation
DESCRIPTION:by John Lewis \nRegister for our February Book Club meeting! \nFrom Goodreads: \n*National Bestseller* \nA brilliant and empowering collection of final reflections and words of wisdom from venerable civil rights champion\, the late Congressman John Lewis at the end of his remarkable life. \nCongressman John Lewis was a paragon of the Civil Rights Movement and political leadership for decades. A hero we won’t soon forget\, Lewis was a beacon of hope and a model of humility whose invocation to “good trouble” continues to inspire millions across our nation. In his last months on earth\, even while battling cancer\, he dedicated time to share his memories\, beliefs\, and advice—exclusively immortalized in these pages—as a message to the generations to come. \nOrganized by topic ranging from justice\, courage\, faith\, mentorship\, and forgiveness to the protests and the pandemic\, and many more besides\, Carry On collects the late Congressman’s thoughts for readers to draw on whenever they are in need of guidance. John Lewis had great confidence in our future\, even as he died in the midst of one of our country’s most challenging years to date. With this book\, he performs that crucial passing of the baton\, empowering us to live up to the legacy he has left us with his perseverance\, dedication\, profound insight\, and unwavering ability to see the good in life.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Book Club - A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America\, and the Woman Who Stopped Them
DESCRIPTION:by Timothy Eagan \nRegister for our January Book Club meeting! \nFrom Goodreads: \nA historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan’s rise to power in the 1920s\, the cunning con man who drove that rise\, and the woman who stopped them.  \nThe Roaring Twenties–the Jazz Age–has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group\, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy\, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks\, Jews\, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure\, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson.  \nStephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana\, he’d become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows – their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches\, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges\, prosecutors\, ministers\, governors and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence\, it was a seemingly powerless woman – Madge Oberholtzer – who would reveal his secret cruelties\, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees.  \nA FEVER IN THE HEARTLAND marries a propulsive drama to a powerful and page-turning reckoning with one of the darkest threads in American history.

SUMMARY:How Our State Legislators Get the Work Done
DESCRIPTION:Come to this panel discussion with two of Naperville’s state legislators–Senator Laura Ellman and Representative Janet Yang Rohr. They will discuss how they approach legislative sessions\, sponsorship of bills\, and how they interact with constituents and other legislators during the legislative sessions. \nWe all learned in high school civics how a bill moves through both chambers of the legislature. It is a fairly simple process; each chamber passes the bill and reconvenes together through a special committee if the bills differ. Once the compromise is reached\, the bill is sent to the Governor for signature.  In reality\, the process is more complex\, requiring hours of research\, balancing of interests\, and\, often\, special legislative sessions. \nJoin us! Please register here. \nAbout the Speakers \nSen. Laura Ellman was first elected to the Illinois Senate in 2018.  She currently serves on the following committees:  Agriculture; Appropriations–Finance & Revenue; Energy & Public Utilities; Financial Institutions; Next Generation of Energy; Redistricting–DuPage; Next Generation of Nuclear Energy; and Transportation. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJanet Yang Rohr.  Rep. Yang Rohr was first elected from District 41 to the Illinois House in 2021.  Rep. Yang Rohr serves on the following committees:   Appropriations -Elementary\, Secondary and Higher Education; Elementary & Secondary Education–School Curriculum and Policies and Administration\, Licensing and Charters; Health Care Availability and Access; Personnel & Pensions; and Small Business: Technical Innovation. \n.

SUMMARY:Civic Awareness Series: How the World Perceives America
DESCRIPTION:Join us on May 11th at 7:00 pm for the Civic Awareness Series: How the World Perceives America. \nAmericans are disinclined to see themselves as others see them\, which limits what the U.S. can accomplish in international affairs. This program will explore American “exceptionalism” and the notion that only Americans have a keen insight into global problems and solutions. This series is co-sponsored with Cantigny and area Leagues\, including ours. Our speaker\, Dr. Richard Farkus\, will discuss how hyperpartisanship in America’s political landscape affects global perceptions. \n Be prepared for a thought-provoking evening that challenges conventional thinking and encourages ideas without borders. \nDr. Farkas has been teaching at DePaul University for over 40 years. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina and an honorary degree from Corvinus University. He has lectured in Russia\, Poland\, Hungary\, and Croatia. His research compares political and economic development strategies in post-Communist and post-conflict countries. He has consulted for some of the U.S.’s largest corporations and has frequently appeared on U.S. and international media. \n The program is offered as a hybrid. You will need to register whether you plan to attend in-person and Zoom. To register in person\, you will need to make a login account on the Cantigny site. \nYou will use this account for all Civic Awareness tickets in the future. You can submit your questions to ccorrigan@fdmuseum.org or blaimins@gmail.com. \nPlease use the Q&A button located on the bottom of the Zoom screen when asking questions during the event.\nCo-hosting Leagues: Central Kane CountyRoselle/Bloomingdale Additional Event Hosts: League of Women Voters of Glen Ellyn\, and Cantigny Park.
