es\, woven over time from the voyages of people—voluntary and involuntary—
who traveled to build new lives state-to-state\, across the continent\, an
d from around the world.
No matter the country of origin or reason for co
ming here\, from our earliest days\, Americans have been intensely mobile\
, and we still are. Travel over roads\, rails\, rivers\, and trails—even t
he skies—have shaped our cultural and economic landscape. In many ways\, o
ur Journey Stories define us.
This Smithsonian poster exhibition includes
important chapters such as Western expansion and Native American displace

Germany pioneered the devel opment of the synthetic organic chemicals industry in the late 1800s. By 1 914\, the German firms provided 90 percent of the world’s market in synthe tic dyes and pharmaceuticals like aspirin\, the “high tech” industry of th e era. When World War I interrupted the supply of German chemicals to the United States and then made the United States and Germany into enemies\, A mericans made it a patriotic mission to manufacture “German” chemicals in the United States. Building capacity in a complicated industry proved imme nsely challenging\, and Americans adopted a variety of government policies \, including confiscating German subsidiaries and intellectual property. T hroughout the 1920s\, Americans strove to discover new synthetic organic c hemicals they could call their own.

\nOther examples of online hate speech are all too easy to find:
\n– White supremacists used the Dis cord chat platform to plan logistics at the “Unite the Right” rally in Cha rlottesville.
\n– The Pizzagate conspiracy theory gained steam on Re ddit.
\n– Pornographic images of Muslims floated on Facebook for yea rs in an anti-Rohingya campaign in Myanmar.
\nThe owners of social m edia sites and hosting platforms are moving against such hate speech\, but is it far enough\, fast enough?
\nWhat are the limits of their abil ity to respond? Should we rely on private-business owners\, not the law\, to draw the linebetween hate speech and free speech? Where is the line tha t we can live with?
\n
Dr. Jenny L ambe\, a nationally known First Amendment scholar and an associate pro fessor in UD’s Department of Communication\, will offer a look at where th e law stands on hate speech and lead a conversation on where we go from he re.

“Has America Forgotten the Virgin Islands?”< /em>
\nThat was The New York Times’ headline on a column written by UD alumni Peter Bailey \, a month after the U.S. territory was struck by not one\, but two hurric anes. The rest of America was learning about the devastation in Puerto Ric o\, but it knew almost nothing about the suffering in the islands where Ba iley grew up.
\nAs little as the media talked about Puerto Rico\, th ey talked even less about the Virgin Islands. And one analysis reported by the Washington Post found that coverage of Puerto Rico d idn’t ramp up until Hurricane Maria’s aftermath had become a political sto ry.
\nBailey has turned his NYT column into a documentary\, “The Unb reakable Virgin Islanders.” The movie received its mainland debut in Octob er at the University of Southern California\, hosted by the Council for Di versity and Inclusion at USC’s School of Cinema Arts.
\nJoin us for a screening at 3:30 p.m. in Kirkbride Hall\, room 100\, followed at 5:30 b y a Q&A with the filmmaker at the Deer Park Tavern\, second floor.

In the spirit of Fred Wilson’s landmark exhibition\, Mining th e Museum\, the Biggs Museum has invited seven scholars to explore impo rtant cultural absences within its collections\, interpretation\, and publ ic programs-to find and add underrepresented perspectives of America’s his torical minorities.

The book has won many awards\, including The New York Times’ Critics’ Top Books of the Year and Best Book of the Year by San Francisco Chronicle\, National Public Radio\, The Economist\, Buzzfeed\, and Southern Living. You can visit Goodreads for more informa tion about the book.

When an event occurs or a fact is uncove
red\, information travels from the source to the public to the individual.
That information is filtered through governments\, journalists\, teacher
s\, and others before it reaches you. Even then\, your brain filters that
information without you even being aware of it.
Join Dr. Joan Del Fattore\, professor emerita at the University of Delaware and author of th ree books on controversial speech published by Yale University Press\, for a short lecture followed by an interactive discussion of the vulnerabilit ies in normal human thinking that leave even the most intelligent of us op en to being deceived. How\, for instance\, can two people look at the same evidence and draw opposite conclusions? Why is it so hard to change belie fs once they’ve taken root? Why can’t the law do more to hinder the spread of false information? This program offers an opportunity to become a more savvy critic of news\, social media\, and advertising.
\nRe gistration required. Free event and complimentary snacks. Beverages avai lable for purchase.
\nThis program is part of the “Democrac y and the Informed Citizen” initiative. We thank the Andrew W. Mellon Fou ndation for their generous support of this initiative and the Pulitzer Pri zes for their partnership.

\nOne of America’s best-known architectural symbols is the cov ered bridge. Once a vital transportation link\, it has been bypassed by su per highways and relegated to lesser-used country roads. But many of these surviving and restored structures have fostered nostalgia and become a so urce of community pride responsible for festivals\, tourism and a deeper u nderstanding of local history. Delaware’s three remaining covered bridges\ , as well as those in nearby states\, are featured in this program.

While much is known about William Shake speare\, certain aspects of his personal life are less clear. He did not k eep diaries or journals. We have no idea what he thought about the churche s of England in the 16th and early 17th century. He must have loved his pa rents\, his wife\, children\, and six siblings. Who knows? There are some very interesting things that we do know.

After 1820\, when th e Missouri Compromise created political conditions which made the line imp ortant to the history of slavery\, it became associated with the division between the free and slave states. Today the line is still seen by many as a symbolic dividing line for regional attitudes and customs. This program explores the story of the line\, which runs through our land and our hist ory\, along with the perceptions that have developed about the boundary.

Much of today’s polarization is d
riven by how we talk with like-minded people about those on the other side
. Too often\, we stereotype\, dismiss\, or ridicule our fellow citizens w
ho support the other political party\, its leaders\, and its policies. Thi
s workshop teaches participants:
1: How to be more aware of their
own “inner polarizer”
\n2: How to be critical without demonizing\, di
smissing\, or stereotyping large swaths of the population
\n3: Strate
gies for intervening constructively in social conversations with like-mind
ed peers when these conversations veer into contempt and ridicule for peop
le who hold other political views

Mary Ann Shad Cary (1823-1893) was o ne of the most accomplished and celebrated women in black history. She wa s born in Wilmington\, yet few Delaware residents have ever heard of her. Shad Cary seems more a woman of our times than of her own. Teacher\, jou rnalist\, editor\, feminist\, lawyer\, wife and mother…it is easy to imagi ne her as a modern-day superwoman\, preaching and practicing a life commit ted to racial and gender equality. It is harder to imagine a woman\, espe cially a woman of color\, leading a life so rich with accomplishments 150 years ago.

In his first letter from the N ew World in 1493\, Christopher Columbus described the women of the island Matremonio as Amazons from classical myth. By Shakespeare’s time\, these w omen-warriors had become regular characters in both fiction and non-fictio n texts\, and Queen Elizabeth was sometimes associated with the Amazon que en Penthesilea. In Shakespeare’s work\, Amazons appear in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Two Noble Kinsmen (based on Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale and co-written with John Fletcher)\, but what quali ties made a woman an Amazon? What do these warriors look like? How “Amazon ian” are Shakespeare’s Amazons? By considering these two plays\, we will e xamine what it means to be an Amazon in the plays of Shakespeare.
\nNow in its seventeenth season\, Delaware Shakespeare creates year-round pr ofessional theatre and educational programs for residents and friends of t he State of Delaware. At Del Shakes\, people from all walks of life celebr ate and explore their shared humanity through the lens of Shakespearean wo rk.

Yejide and Akin have been married since they me t and fell in love at university. They have always agreed: polygamy is not for them. But four years into their marriage\, Yejide is still not pregna nt. Then her family arrives on her doorstep with a young woman they introd uce as Akin’s second wife. Furious\, shocked\, and livid with jealousy\, Y ejide knows the only way to save her marriage is to get pregnant\, which\, finally\, she does\, but at a cost far greater than she could have dared to imagine. Stay With Me asks how much we can sacrifice for the sake of fa mily.

\nBook Summar y:
\nJust befor e dawn on a Sunday morning\, three teenage boys go surfing. While driving home exhausted\, the boys are involved in a fatal car accident on a desert ed road. Two of the boys are wearing seat belts\; one goes through the win dshield. The doctors declare him brain-dead shortly after arriving at the hospital\, but his heart is still beating. The Heart takes place o ver the twenty-four hours surrounding the resulting heart transplant\, as life is taken from a young man and given to a woman close to death. In gor geous\, ruminative prose\, it examines the deepest feelings of everyone in volved as they navigate decisions of life and death. As stylistically auda cious as it is emotionally explosive\, The Heart mesmerized readers in Fra nce\, where it has been hailed as the breakthrough work of a new literary star. With the precision of a surgeon and the language of a poet\, de Kera ngal has made a major contribution to both medicine and literature with an epic tale of grief\, hope\, and survival.

Twitter\, and Instagram to stay up to date on o
ther events. Book Summary:\n At times stern\, at oth
er times patient\, at times perceptive\, at other times in sad denial\, Ol
ive Kitteridge\, a retired schoolteacher\, deplores the changes in her lit
tle town and in the world at large\, but she doesn’t always recognize the
changes in those around her: a lounge musician haunted by a past romance\;
a former student who has lost the will to live\; Olive’s own adult child\
, who feels tyrannized by her irrational sensitivities\; and her hu
sband\, Henry\, who finds his loyalty to his marriage both a blessing and
a curse. As the townspeople grapple with their problems\, mild and dire\,
Olive is brought to a deeper understanding of herself and her life – somet
imes painfully\, but always with ruthless honesty. Olive Kitteridge offers
profound insights into the human condition—its conflicts\, its tragedies
and joys\, and the endurance it requires. How do we d
ecide what we believe\, and what we don’t believe? Drawing on philosophica
l\, psychological\, and legal resources – and avoiding partisan politics –
this talk outlines a few of the unconscious factors that influence the wa
y humans reach conclusions and make decisions. In 2016\, a federal appeals
court struck down an Ohio law that provided penalties for lying during po
litical campaigns. The reason? There is\, in fact\, a constitutional right
to lie. Sure\, you can be prosecuted for things like fraud\, perjury\, an
d libel\, but those are exceptions. In general\, constitutional protection
for free speech does not depend on whether the speech is true. And when t
he topic is politics\, untruthful speech is not only protected under the F
irst Amendment\, but enjoys the highest level of constitutional protection
. Why? That’s what this talk is about. For twenty minutes or so\, we’ll st
ep back from the fray of partisan politics to take a look at the history a
nd ideas behind our current system. After a brief Q and A\, we’ll spend th
e rest of the program discussing the following questions: Have we\, or hav
e we not\, reached a point in the history of our country where political l
ying has so disrupted our electoral system that the public good requires t
he establishment of legal limits comparable to those placed on perjury? If
so\, what should such a policy look like\, and what unintended consequenc
es might follow? How do we d
ecide what we believe\, and what we don’t believe? Drawing on philosophica
l\, psychological\, and legal resources – and avoiding partisan politics –
this talk outlines a few of the unconscious factors that influence the wa
y humans reach conclusions and make decisions. In order to protect our democracy in a time of globally grow
ing authoritarianism\, we must engage thoughtfully but with energy in work
ing to strengthen the franchise\, fight voter suppression\, ensure fair co
urts and fight for transparency and fairness in our political system. Car
oline Fredrickson\, author of The Democracy Fix and Under the
Bus\, will discuss how these tenets are crucial in keeping the Unite
d States’ political system a government that is by the people and for the
people. The lecture will be broa
dcast through Facebook Live and Zoom. Afterwards\, a live Q&A will be mode
rated by the President of the League of Women Voters of Delaware\, Carol J
ones. Registrati

The virus took a g rim toll on the Delmarva region\, and it overwhelmed the health care syste m\, forcing the region to shut down for an extended period. Although they didn’t call it social distancing at the top of the twentieth century\, the methods they used to quarantine the contagion are similar to what we prac tice today. Thus\, as the world struggles with the novel COVID-19 contagio n\, we will take a relevant look at the past to see how people in the regi on 102-years ago managed a similar situation\, at a time when medical scie nce did not have a treatment for the pathogen.

“You’re so earnes t about morality that I hate to think how essentially immoral you must be underneath.”
George F. Babbitt has it all–a perf ect house\, a nice car\, a doting wife\, three kids\, a thriving business\ , and the admiration of his community. But Babbitt is unhappy. His disco ntent leads him to question everything he has been taught to believe is im portant and to rebel\, without fully realizing what his rebellion may cost him. Taking place during the roaring 20s\, Sinclair Lewis’ satirical Babbitt (1922)\, explores consumerism\, conformity\, politics\, and what it means to be middle class in such a way that his almost 100 year ol d novel is still extremely relevant today.
\nBabbitt is now in the public domain and can be downloaded for free from Project Gutenberg.

Today\, nearly half of all government s can be classified as some form of democracy. However\, the past several years has brought concern for the future of democracy. Individual freedoms \, economic inequality\, and out-of-touch elites fuel much of these concer ns as many people around the world are dissatisfied with how their respect ive democracies are functioning. Political freedom and human rights advoca cy organizations like Freedom House have concluded that\, while global dem ocratic gains have not been completely reversed\, democracy is in retreat. From long-standing democracies to authoritarian regimes\, there is a decl ine in freedom globally.
\nJustin Collier will discuss this topic in his lecture entitled ‘Freedom Under Siege: The global retreat of democrac y.’ Justin Collier is a PhD candidate from the Political Science and Inter national Relations Department in the University of Delaware. His research interests include public diplomacy\, nationalism\, national identity\, and ethnic conflict.

Democracy advocates\, human rights activi
sts\, and scholars alike have argued that democracy is in peril around the
world. Countries that once seemed like shining democratic success stories
\, seem to be regressing into authoritarianism. Once stable and thriving d
emocracies are now having to address dissatisfied citizens and sharp incre
ases in populism\, nationalism\, and civil unrest. Economic inequality\, s
ocial instability\, distrust of elites\, and anxiety about the unprecedent
ed threat to global public health posed by the COVID-19 pandemic are leavi
ng many people in the global community unhappy with how democracy is worki
ng for them. This panel will consider the state of democracy in various co
untries around the world\, issues that imperil democracy in those regions\
, and how the pandemic has created a range of new challenges to democratic
freedom.
Panelists include Luísa Torres (University of Delaware)\ , John Knaus (National Endowment for Democracy)\, Michael Kugelman (Wilson Center)\, and Patrick Stephenson (Imani Centre for Policy and Education). The panel will be moderated by Justin Collier (“Why It Matters” Project Scholar and PhD candidate from the Political Science and International Rel ations Department in the University of Delaware).

This is the primary paradox presented by th e authors of How to Rig an Election. Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klaas\, two political scientists and pree minent experts on democracy and elections\, examine how authoritarian lead ers can gain and maintain political power by taking advantage of weaknesse s in electoral systems. Using data collected from more than 500 interviews in 11 countries as well as a global data set of every elections held over the past 60 years\, the authors lay out how gerrymandering\, vote buying\ , repression\, hacking\, and ballot box stuffing are used by autocrats to ‘rig elections’ and what can be done to protect democracies.
\nThis book discussion focuses primarily on the book and on the global state of d emocracy more generally. Leading the discussion is Justin Collier\, PhD ca ndidate in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware.

\n
\nThroughout World War II\, a group of
fearless and committed patriots risked their lives to achieve victory. Th
ey were the women of Britain’s Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the
United States’ Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Women such as Virginia
Hall\, considered America’s greatest female spy\, and Christine Granville\
, Churchill’s favorite spy\, were crucial to the war effort. “The Lady was
a Spy” focuses on the lives and experiences of these brave women\, many o
f whom died in completing their missions\, to highlight their unconvention
al contributions to victory in World War II.
There are more elections than ever before\, and yet the worl d is becoming less democratic. This is the primary paradox presented by th e authors of How to Rig an Election. Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klaas\, two p olitical scientists and preeminent experts on democracy and elections\, ex amine how authoritarian leaders can gain and maintain political power by t aking advantage of weaknesses in electoral systems. Using data collected f rom more than 500 interviews in 11 countries as well as a global data set of every elections held over the past 60 years\, the authors lay out how g errymandering\, vote buying\, repression\, hacking\, and ballot box stuffi ng are used by autocrats to ‘rig elections’ and what can be done to protec t democracies.
\nThis book discussion focuses primarily on the book and on the global state of democracy more generally. Leading the discussio n is Justin Collier\, PhD candidate in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware. His research i ncludes public diplomacy\, nationalism\, national identity\, and ethnic co nflict. The first 20 registrants in the state of Delaware will receive a f ree copy of the book.
\nA lecture with Dr. Brian Klaas will take place on Monday\, Marc h 8 at 5:30 PM.

Free and fair elections are an importan
t aspect of political freedom. Elections are generally viewed as the most
important form of political participation in modern representative democr
acies. They are a vital part of democratic processes\, including political
transitions\, implementation of peace agreements and consolidation of dem
ocracy. However\, there is more to democracy than holding elections. If th
e election process is corrupted\, the democracy based on the election may
be considered a fraud. Democracies must be ever vigilant to protect this f
oundational element of political freedom from the dangers arrayed against
it. Threats such as ballot stuffing on election day\, digital election int
erference\, disinformation campaigns\, media manipulation\, voter intimida
tion\, bribery\, regulatory obstacles\, and the jailing of political oppos
ition figures can all work to the benefit of autocratic leaders and to the
detriment of the democratic process.
This panel will feature expe rts in electoral politics in three regions around the world – Eastern Euro pe and Russia (Mike Smeltzer\, Freedom House)\, the Middle East and North Africa (Elizabeth Reiter Dettmer\, International Foundation for Electoral Systems)\, and the United States (David B. Ebner\, University of Delaware) .

These days\, what and where w e eat says as much about us as the clothes we wear or the places we live\, and social media has allowed us to share our private food experiences as never before. But this fixation is not new. “As a species\, we’re hardwire d to obsess over food\,” says author Matt Siegel. In this entertaining exp loration of the historical\, cultural\, scientific\, sexual\, and culinary subcultures of this most essential part of life\, Siegel sets out to unco ver “the hidden side of everything we put in our mouths.”

Many think of Alexander Graham Bell as t he inventor of the telephone\, but as the son of a deaf woman (and\, later \, husband to another)\, his goal in life from adolescence was to teach de af students to speak. He became a leading advocate for the oralist movemen t\, which valued teaching deaf students how to speak English verbally and shunned the use of American Sign Language — in spite of growing evidence t hat this led to the detriment of all other learning\, causing not only sta lled development\, but also social isolation. The author describes the har m that many people\, including her grandparents\, experienced as a result of Bell’s movement to stamp out ASL and explains how the deaf community re claimed their once-forbidden language.

This is the first definitive account of the Secret Se rvice\, from the Kennedy assassination in 1963 to the alarming scandals\, secrets\, and mismanagement during the Obama and Trump years\, right up to the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6\, 2021. The book reveals a t oxic and politicized work culture\, outdated equipment and training\, a de ep resentment of the agency’s leadership\, and a dedicated band of patriot s who battle it all to try to keep the president safe. To expose these sho rtcomings\, the author interviewed numerous current and former agents and whistleblowers who risked their careers to speak to her.

\nFor four thousand years\, t
he size and vitality of cities\, economies\, and empires were heavily dete
rmined by infection. The cycle of plagues set the tempo of civilizational
growth and decline\, since common response to the threat was exclusion—qua
rantining the sick or keeping them out. The unprecedented hygiene and medi
cal revolutions of the past two centuries have allowed humanity to free it
self from the hold of epidemic cycles\, but climate and population fluctua
tions and global trade have left us more vulnerable than ever to newly eme

Simone Weil’s “The Iliad or the Poem of Force” is a profound exploration of the power of force and the hubris of mankind in attempting to control it to our advantage. Force is inherently destructive\, and we risk it overwhelming us when we unleash it upon ourselves. This two-part e ssay\, published in the Cahiers du Sud in 1940 – 41\, is every bi t as relevant today in all human interactions\, from the interpersonal to the geopolitical.
\nJoin us for a discussion of this piece by Profes sor Emeritus of the University of Notre Dame and renowned Weil scholar Dr. E. Jane Doering and Simona Giurgea\, Senior Lecturer in of the University Theatre at Colgate University\, who adapted this writing into a compellin g one-woman dramatization (performed at the library on Friday\, October 15 ). Hosted by Ron Collins\, Lewes resident and Senior Editor of ATTENTION\, an international website and newsl etter dedicated to the work of Simone Weil\, the discussion will probe thi s compelling essay in depth. The conversation will be followed by a recept ion sponsored ATTENTION.

Berkowitz is a San Francisc o-based author\, human rights lawyer\, and journalist. This year’s lectur e is brought to you in partnership with the Delaware Libraries.
\n
In his le
cture\, Berkowitz will discuss several recurring themes driving censorship
throughout the ages\, including the fragility of power\, the use of censo
rship to remake the past\, the impact of technology\, and the suppression
of speech to guard feelings—from those of American slaveholders to margina
lized groups today. The talk will dive deeply into the use of censorship i
n the 19th century to cement class\, race\, and gender privileges\, and to
prevent the lower orders in Europe from receiving information that might
lead them to rise up in revolt. The anecdotes range from the egregious to
the absurd\, and the resonance to contemporary controversies is direct.

eople\, famous and obscure\, who played central roles in the formation of
our right to express ourselves\, and exposing the motivations of both the
