CIVIL WAR READING AND DISCUSSION PROGRAM BEGINS AT MORRISTOWN LIBRARY
First part of series scheduled to take place Thursday, Feb. 7, from 6-8 p.m., focusing on “Imagining War”
Morristown, Tenn. – Beginning Thursday, Feb. 7, Morristown-Hamblen Public Library will host Making Sense of the American Civil War, a scholar-led reading and discussion program. This program is organized as a five-part series of conversations that aim to get below the surface of familiar stories about the Civil War battles to explore the complex challenges brought on by the war. The discussions will be lead by Dr. Nancy Schurr, professor of history at the University of Tennessee.
The conversation begins with Geraldine Brooks’ novel March, a meditation on America as it faces the plague of war. Brooks tells its story through the characters of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved Little Women, but shifts the attention to the father of these famed sisters, Reverend March. The novel compares fiction and firsthand testimony from Alcott herself to illuminate the challenges war presents to individuals’ beliefs.
Through the eyes of Reverend March, we will begin to understand the confusion and the turmoil facing individuals amongst the nation’s chaos, as they are thrust into battle both on the field and with themselves. Both the fictional story of March and the non- fictional accounts detailed from Alcott’s diary unravel the dramatic impact the war had in molding personal experiences.
“Imagining War” is part of a five-part series that will dive into truly making sense of the breadth and depth of the American Civil War. Other towns which have hosted the ten-week series include Chattanooga, Memphis, and Clarksville.
The series will be available at the Morristown-Hamblen Public Library on the following topics and dates:
Feb. 21: Choosing Sides – The primary documents discussed in this conversation present the reader with the opportunity to see through the eyes of people who were firsthand dealing with the notions of justice, honor, duty, loyalty and hypocrisy.
March 7: Making Sense of Shiloh – There’s always more than one side to every story, and the horrific Battle of Shiloh is no exception. This conversation dives deeper than the facts and figures of the battle itself, but instead explores the shattering impact the battle had upon Americans in the Civil War by looking at a variety of battlefield perspectives.
March 21: The Shape of War – A combination of three readings demonstrates the varying interpretations of the importance of Antietam then challenges the reader to shift the focus from the course of the battle and its ramifications to the suffering of the individuals and the way death was confronted.
April 4: War and Freedom – This final set of readings focus on the experience of the immediate emancipation of four million slaves. While few at the time imagine the institution of slavery being abolished as quickly as it was, the selections of the conversation don’t discredit the process and struggles of securing freedom and that the full significance of the war is still not complete today.
Making Sense of the American Civil War is presented by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Library Association.
The Tennessee program is presented by Humanities Tennessee, an organization created in 1973 that is dedicated to developing a sense of community through educational programs in the humanities across Tennessee. The series is part of Civil War, Civil Rights, Civil Discourse, a project of Humanities Tennessee that seeks to equip Tennesseans to think deeply about the context of social and political divisions from the Civil War to the present.
All discussions will be held in the Magazine Room of the Morristown-Hamblen Library from 6-8 p.m. To register for the program, please stop by the Main Floor Circulation Desk for a form and a book pack containing the books discussed in the lecture series. The program will be limited to 24 participants, due to the number of book packs available for check out. For more information visit www.morristownhamblenlibrary.org

In addition to the competition cakes, there is a cash and carry bake sale with all kinds of goodies. Families can enjoy children’s crafts and cupcake decorating as well. While professionals judge the categories, attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite cake in the People’s Choice Awards.

Region, Race and Memory: Inheriting the Civil War Topic of Humanities Tennessee Lecture
On February 28, Humanities Tennessee presents “Region, Race, and Memory: Inheriting the Civil War” hosted by the Heritage Alliance at the Jonesborough Visitor’s Center at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Daryl A. Carter from East Tennessee State University will lead the conversation as the scholar-facilitator.
Throughout this program, Dr. Carter uses excerpts of various texts to facilitate conversation about the American Civil War and how we, as a society, remember it. Do our identities reflect how we remember the Civil War, and is the Civil War remembered differently by different people? The two major pieces under discussion are Robert Penn Warren’s The Legacy of the Civil War and Ta-Nehisi Coates’ “Why Do So Few Blacks Study the Civil War?” Dr. Carter received his B.S. and M.A. at East Tennessee State University and his Ph.D. from The University of Memphis. He is an assistant professor of history at ETSU where he specializes in 20th Century American History and 20th Century American Political History. Dr. Carter is currently working on two book projects, President Clinton, African Americans, and The Politics of Race and Class, and Liberalism in Winter: American Liberalism Since 1980.
Humanities Tennessee nurtures the mutual respect and understanding essential to community by enabling Tennesseans to examine and critically reflect upon the narratives, traditions, beliefs, and ideas — as expressed through the arts and letters — that define us as individuals and participants in community life.

Knox County Public Library to present Dr. James Stovall, editor of Seeing Suffrage, a collection of photographs on the Woman Suffrage Procession
Some say it was the world’s first media event. On March 3, 1913, photographers from all over were invited to take pictures as thousands of women and men marched through the streets of Washington DC in support of voting rights for women. The event’s organizer, Alice Paul, believed that if the world could see the kaleidoscope of color, people and ideas, they would be impressed, and the issue of suffrage would rise to a higher plane.
On Sunday March 3, 2013, the 100th anniversary of the Woman Suffrage Procession, Knox County Public Library presents Dr. James Glen Stovall, author of Seeing Suffrage. The program starts at 2:00 pm in the auditorium of the East Tennessee History Center, 601 S. Gay Street Admission is free.
Seeing Suffrage is a collection of the most interesting and informative photographs taken at the march. Dr. Stovall, Edward J. Meeman Distinguished Professor of Journalism in the School of Journalism and Electronic Media at UT, discovered the photographs while doing general research on women’s suffrage, and as a journalist, was fascinated by the way Alice Paul used the media available at the time to forward her cause.
In addition to Dr. Stovall’s presentation, the public is invited to view the famous letter in which Mrs. Burn admonished her son, Tennessee State Representative Harry T. Burn, to “be a good boy” and vote for suffrage. His vote in favor broke the deadlock and the 19th amendment to the US Constitution became law. The Burn letter is a temporary part of a larger exhibition on suffrage in the Voices of Opportunity section of the East Tennessee History Center’s permanent exhibit.
Art Underfoot the annual Hooked Rug Show at the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum will be on exhibit March 4-28, 2013.
Rug hooking is a craft where rugs are made by pulling loops of yarn or fabric through a stiff woven base such as burlap, linen, or rug warp. The loops are pulled through the backing material by using a crochet hook. In its earliest years, rug hooking was a craft of poverty. Poor women began looking through their scrap bags for materials to employ in creating their own home-made floor coverings. The modern preference for using only cut wool strips in hooked rugs originated with Pearl McGown in the 1930s and the craft has seen a resurgence in popularity and is now viewed as form of fine art.
If you are interested in learning more about this craft, a Hook-In workshop will be held March 8th and 9th. Registration forms for the Hook-In are available at www.livingheritagemuseum.com.
The Museum is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Alicia Keys is a 14-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer. She’s also an accomplished actress, a New York Times best-selling author,
an entrepreneur and a powerful force in the world of philanthropy and in the global fight against HIV and AIDS. With the arrival of her fifth studio album, GIRL ON FIRE, Alicia Keys emerges stronger and wiser, taking the reins of her career in a way she never has before. In this album, you hear an artist breaking free and exploring new worlds. Vibrant and soulful, energetic and intimate, GIRL ON FIRE is built to move you, physically and emotionally. “This album is about new beginnings, new perspectives and fresh starts,” says Keys. “There is something really empowering about finding your own inner strength, stripping away all the energy that no longer works for you and taking full control of how you want to live.”
Other hits include No One, My Boo (with Usher), If I Ain’t Got You, You Don’t Know
My Name, Fallin’, Empire State of Mind (with Jay-Z), and Gangsta Lovin (with Eve).
