Conversations: Truth, Myth & Democracy - with Dr. Charles Dew & Dr. Ty Seidule & moderated by Dr. Daniel Barrett
2021-04-01 19:30 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | Mark Twain Library (virtual), 439 Redding Rd., Redding, CT, 06896, United States
The Mark Twain Library and the Redding League of Women Voters are proud to present the second installment of our series “Conversations: Truth, Myth & Democracy” with Dr. Ty Seidule of Hamilton College and Dr. Charles Dew of Williams College, moderated by Western Connecticut State University’s Dr. Daniel Barrett. This virtual discussion is between two Civil War historians who grew up in the South and whose research took them both to some very personal revelations about their own beliefs. Those revelations are the subject of their books and of our conversation. The Conversations series is a grassroots effort that continues to examine the underlying meaning of our democracy and how democracy matters even when we have very different ideas about what it should look like.
This particular program is the second in a series that focuses on addressing the difficult issues of truth telling and myth busting within our democracy by bringing much-needed community conversations to help promote education, informed dialogue and civil discourse. The series is brought to you in association with Easton Public Library, Weston Public Library, Friends of the Weston Public Library, Newtown’s C.H. Booth Library, Ridgefield Library, The League of Women Voters of Weston, The League of Women Voters of Ridgefield and The League of Women Voters of Northern Fairfield County.
You can purchase either memoir at our two local bookstores: Byrd’s Books in Bethel and Books on the Common in Ridgefield. If you would like a signed bookplate inside the cover of Robert E Lee and Me, contact each store directly via phone or email.

Discover Documentaries: Featuring Cindy Meehl Films
2021-04-27 19:30 - 20:30 | Mark Twain Library (virtual), 439 Redding Rd., Redding, CT, 06896, United States
This is a virtual program.
Join us for this unique opportunity to learn about the art of creating a documentary with award-winning director and producer, Cindy Meehl. Over the course of several months, we will view three of Cindy’s documentaries on our own time, then meet virtually to discuss them with her and a special guest involved in each of her films. This month watch The River and the Wall on your own time, available to view free on Hoopla and on Amazon Prime. Then we’ll gather on Zoom for discussion and Q&A with Cindy and Ben Masters, director and a character from the documentary.
The River and the Wall follows five friends on an immersive adventure through the unknown wilds of the Texas borderlands as they travel 1200 miles from El Paso to the Gulf of Mexico on horses, mountain bikes, and canoes. They set out to document the borderlands and explore the potential impacts of a wall on the natural environment, but as the wilderness gives way to the more populated and heavily trafficked Lower Rio Grande Valley, they come face-to-face with the human side of the immigration debate and enter uncharted emotional waters.
