SUMMARY:The Confidante
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Christopher C. Gorham \nAnna Marie Rosenberg\, the Hungarian Jewish immigrant who became FDR’s closest advisor during World War II and\, according to Life\, “the most important official woman in the world” —a woman of many firsts\, whose story\, forgotten for too long\, is extraordinary\, inspiring\, and uniquely American. Her life ran parallel to the front lines of history yet her influence on 20th century America\, from the New Deal to the Cold War and beyond\, has never before been told. \nMore than the story of one remarkable woman\, The Confidante explores who gets to be at the forefront of history\, and why. Though she was not quite a hidden figure\, Rosenberg’s position as “the power behind\,” combined with her status as an immigrant and a Jewish woman\, served to diminish her importance. In this inspiring\, impeccably researched\, and revelatory book\, Christopher C. Gorham at last affords Anna Rosenberg the recognition she so richly deserves. \nChristopher C. Gorham is the author of The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America (citadel press\, 2023). He holds degrees from the University of Michigan\, Tufts University and Syracuse University College of Law. After practicing law for over a decade\, for the last several years he has taught Modern American History at Westford Academy\, outside Boston. His writing has appeared in the Washington Post\, Literary Hub\, Paper Brigade and online publications. The Confidante is his first book. He and his wife\, Elizabeth\, live in Watertown and Chatham\, Massachusetts.\n[wpforms id=”6602″]

SUMMARY:Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad
DESCRIPTION:Lecture by Matthew F. Delmont \nOver one million Black men and women served in World War II. Black troops were at Normandy\, Iwo Jima\, and the Battle of the Bulge\, serving in segregated units and performing unheralded but vital support jobs\, only to be denied housing and educational opportunities on their return home. Without their crucial contributions to the war effort\, the United States could not have won the war. And yet the stories of these Black veterans have long been ignored\, cast aside in favor of the myth of the “Good War” fought by the “Greatest Generation.” \nHalf American is American history as you’ve likely never read it before. In these pages are stories of Black heroes such as Thurgood Marshall\, the chief lawyer for the NAACP\, who investigated and publicized violence against Black troops and veterans; Benjamin O. Davis\, Jr.\, leader of the Tuskegee Airmen\, who was at the forefront of the years-long fight to open the Air Force to Black pilots; Ella Baker\, the civil rights leader who advocated on the home front for Black soldiers\, veterans\, and their families; James Thompson\, the 26-year-old whose letter to a newspaper laying bare the hypocrisy of fighting against fascism abroad when racism still reigned at home set in motion the Double Victory campaign; and poet Langston Hughes\, who worked as a war correspondent for the Black press. Their bravery and patriotism in the face of unfathomable racism is both inspiring and galvanizing. In a time when the questions World War II raised regarding race and democracy in America remain troublingly relevant and still unanswered\, this meticulously researched retelling makes for urgently necessary reading. \nDr. Matthew Delmont is the Frank J. Guarini Associate Dean of International Studies and Interdisciplinary Programs and the Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Professor of History. An expert on African-American History and the history of Civil Rights\, his book\, Half American: The Epic Story of African Americans Fighting World War II at Home and Abroad\, was published by Viking Books in October 2022. He is the author four previous books: Black Quotidian: Everyday History in African American Newspapers (Stanford University Press\, 2019); Making Roots: A Nation Captivated (University of California Press\, 2016); Why Busing Failed: Race\, Media\, and the National Resistance to School Desegregation (UC Press\, 2016); and The Nicest Kids in Town: American Bandstand\, Rock ‘n’ Roll\, and the Struggle for Civil Rights in 1950s Philadelphia (UC Press\, 2012). He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Public Scholar Award to support this research. In addition to these books\, he regularly shares his research with media outlets\, including the New York Times\, NPR\, TheAtlantic.com\, Washington Post\, and The Conversation. Dr. Delmont has spoken and consulted with Fortune 500 companies\, universities\, colleges\, and community organizations regarding civil rights\, diversity\, and inclusivity\, and how to reckon with the history of racism in America.\n[wpforms id=”6602″]
