SUMMARY:WIT Festival presents: David W. Blight and Deval Patrick in conversation with Imani Perry
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n  \n$15 – $45\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event  \nMahaiwe Member Sale:\nThursday\, September 11 at noon \nPublic Sale:  \nFriday\, September 12 at noon \nMy voice\, my pen\, my vote. \n“Nations reel and stagger on their way; they make hideous mistakes; they commit frightful wrongs; they do great and beautiful things. And shall we not best guide humanity by telling the truth about all of this?” This question\, posed by W.E.B. Du Bois\, arises with new urgency as executive orders and other government actions serve to undermine the practice of history in classrooms\, on campus\, and within institutions like the Smithsonian\, the Library of Congress\, and the National Parks. \nHow else to create a more just and compassionate future than by exploring\, preserving\, and sharing the full complexity of our collective past? \nJoin award-winning scholar David W. Blight (Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom) and former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick—two models of public service and public spirit—as they discuss how to foster historical understanding and civil discourse in a contentious political climate. The conversation is moderated by Harvard professor Imani Perry\, whose new book is Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People. \n“There’s more goodness in the hearts of people\, more decency in the behavior and conscience of Americans\, than is expressed in our federal government right now\,” Governor Patrick said recently. “It’s a reminder of how important it is that we\, all of us\, not be bystanders\, but get involved.” \nHow a country translates its past is often subject to political forces\, but Blight sees the Trump Administration’s push for a singular patriotic education as both an assault on academic freedom and as endangering our democracy. \n“A genuine democracy not only tolerates the reinterpretation of its past\, but thrives upon it\,” Blight has written. “We need history that can get us marching\, but also render us awed by how much there is to learn.” \nThe conversation between David W. Blight and Deval Patrick is part of the 2025 WIT Literary Festival\, an annual celebration of writers\, their work\, and the vital role they play in society presented by the Authors Guild Foundation. By bringing writers and readers together for a weekend of timely conversations\, the WIT Literary Festival reflects the belief that a rich culture of free expression is essential to a thriving democracy. Join us from Sept 25-28 for conversations between M. Gessen and Michael S. Roth\, Torrey Peters and Chase Strangio\, Hanif Abdurraqib and Imani Perry\, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and Sanaz Toossi\, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde and Marilynne Robinson\, and more.   \nDavid W.

SUMMARY:WIT Festival presents: Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde & Marilynne Robinson (in conversation with Paul Elie)
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS \n  \nMahaiwe Member Sale:\nWednesday\, July 30 at noon \nPublic Sale:\nThursday\, July 31 at noon \n$15 – $45\nMahaiwe Member Discount Event \nTo make inroads on the vast terrain of what cannot be said.  \nOn January 21\, 2025\, the day after the Inauguration\, Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde rose to the pulpit of the National Cathedral in Washington\, D.C.\, and asked the President to “have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay\, lesbian\, and transgender children in Democratic\, Republican\, and independent families who fear for their lives. Have mercy\, Mr. President\, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. Help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger\, for we were once strangers in this land.”  \nWhat is courage? In How We Learn to Be Brave\, Bishop Budde quotes the poet David Whyte\, writing “courage is the measure of our heartfelt participation with life\, with another\, with a community.”   \nAnd what is community? Marilynne Robinson\, perhaps America’s greatest living novelist\, has written that it “consists very largely of imaginative love for people we do not know\, or whom we know very slightly.” In another context\, she has defined democracy in the same way. \nHow do we tend to the human spirit in a time of fear and harm? Join Bishop Budde and Marilynne Robinson\, two luminaries cherished for their wisdom and imagination\, for a conversation that promises to be gracious\, grave\, radiant\, and revelatory.  \nThe conversation between Bishop Budde and Marilynne Robinson is the closing event of the 2025 WIT Literary Festival\, an annual celebration of writers\, their work\, and the vital role they play in society presented by the Authors Guild Foundation. By bringing writers and readers together for an unforgettable weekend of timely conversations\, the WIT Literary Festival reflects the belief that a rich culture of free expression is essential to a thriving democracy.
