SUMMARY:Misinformation and Disinformation -  Threats to Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our April Ideas Forum! \nThe proliferation of misinformation and disinformation has emerged as a significant threat to our democratic processes and informed decision-making of the electorate. \nWe make important decisions based on what we hear on social media and in the news. When we are unable to distinguish between truth and mis/disinformation\, it can cause confusion and misunderstandings\, leaving a generalized sense that “you can’t believe anything anymore.” \nMis/disinformation ultimately undermines trust in legitimate information sources\, increases polarization in our society\, and leads to misinformed decisions. Learn: \n\nThe difference between misinformation and disinformation\nHow to spot it\nWhat you can do about it\n\nThis event is free\, but please register. \nOur presenter is Barb Laimins\, a former public school civics teacher and civic mentor liaison to social studies teachers in Illinois for the McCormick Foundation. She currently serves on the Illinois General Assembly Rank Choice Voting Task Force\, the planning team for the LWV/National Institute for Civic Discourse\, and co-chair of the LWVIL Mis/Disinformation Task Force. \n

SUMMARY:Friday Book Club - Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness\, Medicine and the Murder of a President
DESCRIPTION:by Candice Millard \nRegister for our April Book Club meeting! \nFrom Goodreads: \nJames A. Garfield was one of the most extraordinary men ever elected president. Born into abject poverty\, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar\, a Civil War hero\, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will\, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration\, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. \nBut the shot didn’t kill Garfield. The drama of what hap­pened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in tur­moil. The unhinged assassin’s half-delivered strike shattered the fragile national mood of a country so recently fractured by civil war\, and left the wounded president as the object of a bitter behind-the-scenes struggle for power—over his administration\, over the nation’s future\, and\, hauntingly\, over his medical care. A team of physicians administered shockingly archaic treatments\, to disastrous effect. As his con­dition worsened\, Garfield received help: Alexander Graham Bell\, the inventor of the telephone\, worked around the clock to invent a new device capable of finding the bullet. \nMeticulously researched\, epic in scope\, and pulsating with an intimate human focus and high-velocity narrative drive\, The Destiny of the Republic will stand alongside The Devil in the White City and The Professor and the Madman as a classic of narrative history.
