SUMMARY:BY THE FIRE WE CARRY: THE GENERATIONS-LONG FIGHT FOR JUSTICE ON NATIVE LAND
DESCRIPTION:In July 2020\, nearly 200 years after the lands of Eastern Oklahoma were promised to Native Americans\, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in McGirt v. Oklahoma reaffirmed the reservation of the Muscogee Nation\, resulting in the largest restoration of tribal land in our nation’s history. This history-changing case started in a surprising place: a small-town murder and the decades-long death penalty appeal of the convicted man. In By the Fire We Carry: The Generations-Long Fight for Justice on Native Land\, Rebecca Nagle\, an award-winning reporter and citizen of Cherokee Nation\, uses the case as a springboard for the larger story of the long fight for tribal sovereignty in Eastern Oklahoma. Her in-depth reportage becomes personal as Nagle uncovers the complicated role her own forebears played in the removal of her tribe from their ancestral lands. She delves into the whitewashed story of “The Trail of Tears” that forcibly removed 80\,000 Indigenous peoples living east of the Mississippi and sent them into exile. It is a story of greed\, corruption\, and lawlessness\, as well as historic acts of Indigenous resistance. \nNagle’s original podcast about the case\, This Land\, topped the podcast charts\, reaching number two on iTunes with millions of downloads\, and won a Webby Award for best Documentary Series. Nagle was awarded the American Mosaic Journalism Prize and nominated for a Peabody for her reporting and writing. Her work has been featured in The Atlantic\, the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, USA Today\, Teen Vogue\, and the Huffington Post. \nNagle will be in conversation with Bryan McKinley Jones Brayboy\, Ph.D. (Lumbee)\, dean of Northwestern University’s School of Education and Social Policy and the Carlos Montezuma Professor of Education and Social Policy. A member of the National Academy of Education and a fellow of the American Educational Research Association\, Brayboy’s research focuses on intersecting knowledge systems that illuminate the ways that institutional structures simultaneously hinder and enable the success of underserved students\, staff\, and faculty. His research also explores the ways that culture and cultural practices mediate and support Indigenous student learning\, community self-determination\, and tribal nation building. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of By the Fire We Carry from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Nagle and Brayboy that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:TRIUMPH OF THE YUPPIES: AMERICA\, THE EIGHTIES\, AND THE CREATION OF AN UNEQUAL NATION
DESCRIPTION:Brimming with lively and nostalgic details\, award-winning journalist and author Tom McGrath’s new book Triumph of the Yuppies: America\, the Eighties\, and the Creation of an Unequal Nation charts Boomers’ transformation from hippy idealists in the late 1960s to careerists in the early 1980s\, and details how marketers\, the media\, and politicians pivoted to appeal to this influential new group. Yuppie values had an undeniable impact on the worlds of fashion\, food\, and fitness\, as well as affecting the broader culture—from gentrification and an obsession with career success to an indulgent materialism. Most significantly\, the me‑first mindset typical of Yuppieness helped create the largest income inequality in a century. \nBy the time their obituary was being written in the late 1980s\, Yuppies—the elite\, uber‑educated faction of the Baby Boom generation—had become a cultural punchline\, but amidst their preoccupation with money\, work\, and the latest status symbols\, came a serious redefinition of American culture that continues to have profound ramifications decades later. \nMcGrath was the editor-in-chief of Philadelphia magazine\, as well as chief content officer of Metro Corp.\, the parent company of Philadelphia and Boston between 2010 and 2020. Under his leadership\, the magazines won more than fifty awards for editorial excellence. He is also the author of the newsletter Common Ground\, which explores issues related to politics\, culture\, and the economy. \nMcGrath will be in conversation with Rachel Slade\, the former executive editor of Boston magazine. She is the author of two books: the award-winning Into the Raging Sea\, about the sinking of the container ship El Faro; and 2024’s Making It in America: The Almost Impossible Quest to Manufacture in the USA (and How It Got That Way). Slade’s editing and writing have won national awards in civic journalism\, reporting\, reader service\, and criticism. She was awarded a MacDowell Fellowship for the fall of 2024. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Triumph of the Yuppies from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by McGrath and Slade that will start immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
