SUMMARY:Ron Chernow on Mark Twain at First United Methodist Church at the Chicago Temple
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed author Ron Chernow\, of Hamilton fame\, is one of the most renowned voices in history and politics. Recipient of the 2015 National Humanities Medal\, Chernow has dedicated his life to telling the stories of some of the most notable figures in history. Join us as Chernow discusses his newest work\, Mark Twain\, a nuanced portrait of “the father of American literature.” Chernow draws on thousands of letters and hundreds of unpublished manuscripts to capture the exuberant genius whose career reflected the country’s westward expansion\, industrialization and foreign wars\, and became the white author of his generation who grappled most fully with the legacy of slavery. Hear from Chernow as he sheds light on the often maddening life of Mark Twain — from his start as a brash journalist to his days as the most notable political pundit in the U.S. \nACCESSIBILITY: Assistive Listening Devices\, Open Captions \nhttps://www.chicagohumanities.org/events/attend/ron-chernow/

Since then\, he has performed for sold-out audiences\, sang for the Obamas at the White House\, and won a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical.

SUMMARY:Former Prime Minister of New Zealand Jacinda Ardern in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:What if we could redefine leadership? What if kindness came first? \nThe Right Honourable Dame Jacinda Ardern was elected the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand at the age of thirty-seven\, becoming the country’s youngest Prime Minister in more than 150 years. Ardern exemplifies a new kind of leadership — proving that leaders can be caring\, empathetic\, and effective. After becoming a global icon\, she’s ready to share the remarkable story of how a Mormon girl plagued by self-doubt made political history and changed our assumptions of what a global leader can be. \nJoined by special guests\, Ardern will reflect on the struggles\, triumphs\, and deeply personal experiences that shaped her leadership style and what she’s learned along the way.
