SUMMARY:“Join or Die”: Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join the Lexington Lyceum Advocates and The Lexington Observer for a screening of “Join or Die”\, which follows the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam. The Bowling Alone author’s research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. \nFlanked by influential fans and scholars – from Hillary Clinton\, Pete Buttigieg\, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr.\, Raj Chetty\, and Priya Parker – as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country\, Putnam explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most important\, what can we do about it? \nAfter the film\, we invite you to stay for a short\, facilitated discussion. Proceeds will support future civic events like this and the Lexington Venue. \nIf your organization is interested in joining as a co-sponsor and getting the message out about building community in Lexington\, please let us know at events@lexlyceum.org!

SUMMARY:Book Chat on the Revolutionary Samuel Adams by Stacy Schiff
DESCRIPTION:The Revolution is coming! New for 2024-25\, our Book Chat series will examine books and biographies that explore the people and legacy of the American Revolution – just in time for 250th anniversary celebrations. \nStacy Schiff’s latest book explores one of the most pivotal figures in the Battle of Lexington – who was not even from Lexington! When Paul Revere rode into town on the night of April 18th\, 1775\, his mission was to alert Adams and John Hancock – two of the most radical and well-connected revolutionaries in Massachusetts – that the British raid on military supplies in Concord may include their arrest for treason. The need for the leader of the Revolution to hide in a sleepy suburban town initiated a chain of events that would change American history forever. But how did a man from an affluent family become the fiery politician we know today\, who orchestrated some of the most important events of the Revolution? Join us for a discussion on Schiff’s book and Adams’s life to find out! \nPlease note that due to construction at the Depot\, Book Chats for the 2024-25 season will take place in the archives and Research Center at Munroe Tavern. \n$10 members\, $15 nonmembers \nGet Tickets
