SUMMARY:JOHN LEWIS: A LIFE
DESCRIPTION:In John Lewis: A Life\, award-winning historian and journalist David Greenberg\, Ph.D.\, professor of history and of journalism and media studies at Rutgers University\, presents new details in the life of a man who lived with courage and conviction\, and who resisted hating those who hated him. \nBorn into poverty in rural Alabama\, John Lewis would become second only to Martin Luther King\, Jr. in his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. He was a leader of the Nashville sit-in movement\, a Freedom Rider who helped to integrate bus stations in the South\, the youngest speaker at the 1963 March on Washington\, and the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)\, which he helped make into one of the major civil rights organizations. He may be best remembered as the victim of a vicious beating by Alabama state troopers at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma\, Alabama\, where he nearly died. \nGreenberg’s biography traces Lewis’s life from his youth as a precocious bookworm who sought education and freedom in the Jim Crow era\, through the post-Civil Rights years\, when he headed the Voter Education Project\, which enrolled millions of African American voters across the South. The book reveals the little-known story of his political ascent first locally in Atlanta\, and then as a member of Congress. Tapped to be a part of the Democratic leadership in Congress\, he earned respect on both sides of the aisle for the sacrifices he had made on behalf of nonviolent integration in the South and came to be known as the “conscience of the Congress.” \nThoroughly researched and dramatically told\, Greenberg’s biography captures and conveys the power of Lewis’s surpassing courage and faith in nonviolence while also revealing him to be far more politically skilled\, pragmatic\, and canny than commonly thought. \nGreenberg will be in conversation with renowned historian David Blight\, Ph.D. (FAN ’19)\, Sterling Professor of History and Director\, Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery\, Resistance\, and Abolition\, Yale University. \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! We are giving away copies of John Lewis: A Life to randomly selected Zoom attendees. 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:THE GRIEVING BODY: HOW THE STRESS OF LOSS CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEALING
DESCRIPTION:Coping with death and grief is one of the most painful human experiences. While we can speak to the psychological and emotional ramifications of loss and sorrow\, we often overlook its impact on our physical bodies. Mary-Frances O’Connor\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22) specializes in the study of grief\, and in her new book The Grieving Body: How the Stress of Loss Can Be an Opportunity for Healing she shares vital scientific research\, revealing imperative new insights on its profound physiological impact. As she did in The Grieving Brain: How We Learn from Love and Loss\, O’Connor combines illuminating studies and personal stories to explore the toll loss takes on our cardiovascular\, endocrine\, and immune systems and the larger implications for our long-term well-being. The Grieving Brain addresses questions about the effects of bereavement\, including information about: What happens in our bodies when we’re grieving? Howe do our coping behaviors affect our physical health? What is the cognitive impact of grief? Why are we more prone to illness during times of enormous stress? \nO’Connor is a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona\, where she directs the Grief\, Loss and Social Stress (GLASS) Lab\, investigating the effects of grief on the brain and the body. O’Connor holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Arizona and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in psychoneuroimmunology at the UCLA Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. \nO’Connor will be in conversation with Meghan Riordan Jarvis\, MA\, LICSW\, a psychotherapist\, author\, podcast host (Grief is My Side Hustle)\, two-time TEDx speaker\, educator\, corporate consultant\, and sought-after keynote speaker specializing in trauma and grief and loss. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of The Grieving Body from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by O’Connor and Jarvis 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.
