This event is a virtual-only presentation. Register here to receive the event link, watch live or later, and submit questions for the author. Would you like to read the author's work before the program? Place a hold here. Feminist philosopher Dr. Lindsey Stewart’s book, The Conjuring of America: Mojos, Mermaids, Medicine, and 400 Years of Black Women’s Magic, tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. Conjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023), and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean.From the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history, sourcing letters from the enslaved, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope.Join us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. Register for free today!About the Author: Lindsey Stewart is a Black feminist philosopher and an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis. She is the author of The Politics of Black Joy. Her work has been featured in Blavity, Signs, Hypatia, and the British Journal for the History of Philosophy, and she holds a 2021 Michael Beaney Prize. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee.  This event is sponsored by the Friends of Veterans Memorial Library.

This is a monthly book club for upper elementary students! This month, we will meet in person for a pizza party, followed by a lighthearted book discussion. Grades 3 - 5 are recommended. Join us as we read and discuss The BFG by Roald Dahl. Summary:"Captured by a giant! The BFG is no ordinary bone-crunching giant. He is far too nice and jumbly. It's lucky for Sophie that he is. Had she been carried off in the middle of the night by the Bloodbottler, the Fleshlumpeater, the Bonecruncher, or any of the other giants, rather than the BFG, she would have soon become breakfast." Genres:Fantasy, Classics, Humor We will provide free copies to participants who register at least a week in advance while supplies last.For more information, please get in touch with Christie Folsom at [email protected]
