SUMMARY:The True Story of Juneteenth: How Freedom Came to Texas & How We Celebrate
DESCRIPTION:Juneteenth is now a national holiday\, but do you know the real story of how freedom came to over 300\,000 enslaved people in Texas?  It’s a story that has been altered or left out of this country’s historical narrative for far too long.  This presentation brings the story to life by replacing myths and omissions with documented facts about the events of June 19\, 1865\, that took place “where it all began”\, Galveston\, Texas. And\, we’ll introduce you to some of the people who made sure the state of Texas and the entire nation celebrate this important historical event\, chief among them is the Grandmother of Juneteenth\, Mrs. Opal Lee. FREE Attendance is hybrid for those who stay in the Guilford County area of North Carolina.

SUMMARY:The Heritage Book Club Celebrates America250NC\, Fall Selection: The First Congress by Fergus Bordewich
DESCRIPTION:In an era when Congress has effectively forfeited much of its power to the executive\, it is interesting to revisit how the First Congress of the United States\, which met from 1789 to 1791\, defined its role and established precedents. Though these men were imperfect and divided in some respects\, they established rules\, mores\, and precedents that are still important. They came up with the first 10 amendments to the Bill of Rights\, and they enabled the Federal judiciary to assume its role as a coequal third branch of government (in-person and virtual attendance options).
