SUMMARY:The Purposeful Warrior: A Conversation with Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson
DESCRIPTION:As Michigan’s Secretary of State and chief election official\, Secretary Jocelyn Benson has overseen several of the highest turnout\, most secure elections in the state’s history. But her life changed in December 2020 when armed protesters descended onto her doorstep\, threatening her family. Her only crime: certifying a fair and accurate Presidential election in which the protesters’ preferred candidate — Donald Trump — did not win. Benson stood her ground\, spoke out louder\, and helped expose and defeat a coordinated national effort to overturn the 2020 election. Join us as Benson challenges us all to think about what we are willing to be warriors for in our own lives\, and shows us how to turn fear and frustration into a fight for our own purpose\, vision\, and future.

SUMMARY:Amanda Nguyen: Saving Five
DESCRIPTION:One of the most influential activists (and now astronauts) of her time\, Amanda Nguyen is a force for resilience. The Nobel Peace Prize nominee and TIME’s 2022 Woman of the Year joins us to detail her healing journey and groundbreaking activism in the aftermath of her rape at Harvard. She discusses her memoir Saving Five\, weaving together the story of her activism — which resulted in Congress’s unanimous passage of the Sexual Assault Survivors’ Rights Act — with an adventure of her younger selves at ages five\, fifteen\, twenty–two\, and thirty as they navigate through the emotional stages of her path toward healing. Nguyen sheds light on her moving journey toward acceptance and hope.

SUMMARY:Jeffrey Seller: Theater Kid at Francis W. Parker School
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Seller is one of the most successful Broadway producers of our time — and the only one to have mounted two Pulitzer Prize-winning musicals: Hamilton and Rent. From his early days as an office assistant\, to meeting Jonathan Larson and experiencing the triumph and tragedy of Rent\, to working with Lin-Manuel Miranda on In the Heights and Hamilton\, Seller joins us to completely pull back the curtain on the joyous and gut-wrenching process of making new musicals\, finding new audiences\, and winning a Tony Award — all the while finding himself. \nACCESSIBILITY: Assistive Listening Devices\, Open Captions \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/jeffrey-seller/

SUMMARY:Dr. Ibram X. Kendi on Malcolm Lives!
DESCRIPTION:The #1 New York Times bestselling\, National Book Award-winning author Dr. Ibram X. Kendi joins us to discuss his groundbreaking narrative biography of Malcom X for young readers. In Malcolm Lives!\, Kendi expertly crafts a telling of Malcolm X’s life\, providing context for both Malcolm’s choices — and those around him — not just painting an intimate picture of a famous figure\, but of the social and political landscape of America during the civil rights movement. In collaboration with the Malcolm X Estate\, Kendi provides a thoughtful and accessible look into Malcolm’s journey toward anti-racism\, just one day before what would have been Malcolm X’s 100th birthday.
