SUMMARY:An Evening With Louise Erdrich & Heid E. Erdrich
DESCRIPTION:  LIVE! Event starts Friday\, November 20 @ 6 p.m. \nTwo sisters present their latest works in a conversation informed by the dynamic of the familiar. \nLouise Erdrich’s novel The Night Watchman explores themes of love and death with lightness and gravity. It’s a fictional world populated by memorable characters forced to grapple with the worst and best impulses of human nature\, that touches upon the very real tragedy of missing Native American women. \nIn her collection of poems Little Big Bully\, Heid E. Erdrich offers personal myth\, American and Native American contexts\, and allegories driven by women’s resistance to narcissists\, stalkers\, and harassers. The collective experience of Indigenous people\, from ecosystem collapse due to the near-extinction of bison to the present epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women\, underlie her prose. \nSponsored by:

SUMMARY:Can Comics Help Save Our Democracy?
DESCRIPTION:The ideal of American democracy fits neatly in the framework of our Constitution\, like a perfectly centered portrait entitled We The People. But when the frame is hung askew\, it gets tough to read – thankfully\, we have pictures to follow along with! In Unrig: How to Fix Our Broken Democracy\, Dan Newman and George O’Connor dive into dark money in politics and detail the steps to take toward fixing a broken system. R. Sikoryak makes all aspects of the Constitution easy enough for even Homer Simpson to understand in Constitution Illustrated. And Cynthia Levinson‘s Fault Lines in the Constitution sheds light on how today’s political struggles have their origins in the decisions of our Founding Fathers. \nModerated by Jacob Brogan\, assistant opinions editor at the Washington Post.

SUMMARY:Three Documentaries on Jewish South Beach
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Davidson’s documentary films on Jewish themes have all been created in South Florida\, but transcend their local flavor and are at once familiar and nostalgic. With the passage of time his earliest films have become both historical records and time capsules\, documenting places that have since closed or become unrecognizable and now live on in film only. A hallmark of Davidson’s work is his periodic updates of his films\, often with poignant\, ironic\, or unexpected results. Films made innocently more than a decade ago in an earlier context take on new and added meaning with contemporary footage. Driven by that experience\, the three films being screened for the Miami Book Fair now amazingly span 12 years\, and they have all been updated in anticipation of their premiere screening at the Fair.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: On Let Love Rule
DESCRIPTION:Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Lenny Kravitz reflects on the first 25 years of his life in his new autobiography\, Let Love Rule\, the timeline of which culminates in the release of his first studio album\, which shares the book’s title. \nKravitz muses over duality – he grew up the son of Black Caribbean actress Roxie Roker\, a Christian\, and Sy Kravitz\, a successful TV producer who was white and Jewish – and follows his discovery of and immersion in music\, his life-changing relationship with ex-wife Lisa Bonet and the joy of being a father (their daughter is actress Zoë Kravitz)\, and his unwavering stance on making his music\, his way\, despite the many opportunities he had to sign with other labels before finding his first home with Virgin records. Along the way he shares personal revelations\, traumatic moments\, and drops a who’s who list of bold-faced music and movie industry names\, making this glimpse into the life and mind of a rock star a scenic ride. He’s speaking with Kiesha Garrison\, director of communications and culture programs at Microsoft.

SUMMARY:Poisoned Water: How the Citizens of Flint\, Michigan\, Fought for Their Lives and Warned the Nation
DESCRIPTION:Live Q&A: Wednesday\, November 18 @ 4 – 4:30 p.m. EST \nGrades 9 – 12 \nIn 2014\, Flint\, Michigan\, was a cash-strapped city that had been built up\, then abandoned by General Motors. As part of a plan to save money\, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months\, many residents broke out in rashes. Then it got worse: Children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses. Others died. Citizens of Flint protested that the water was dangerous. Despite what seemed so apparent from the murky\, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city’s faucets\, officials refused to listen. They treated the people of Flint as the problem\, not the water\, which was actually poisoning thousands. Poisoned Water shows not just how the crisis unfolded in 2014\, but also the history of racism and segregation that led up to it\, the beliefs and attitudes that fueled it\, and how the people of Flint fought – and are still fighting today – for clean water and healthy lives. \n

SUMMARY:Displaced at Home: An American Tale
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Joan Hilty\, editorial director at Nickelodeon. \nJoin Sophie Yanow (The Contradictions)\, Mike Hawthorne (Happiness Will Follow)\, and Kiku Hughes (Displacement) as they discuss stories that tackle the hard truths. Using the perceptive lenses of memory and time\, they focus on what’s really at the bottom of a lingering sense of displacement in what should be home – that it’s more than the sobering realization of who you are in your environment\, but the even deeper sense of reckoning experienced when you recognize who you are seen as – and how that affects who you become.
