SUMMARY:Sunday Salon: “American Eldercide and Ageism Today”
DESCRIPTION:The Friends of the Needham Public Library present: \nA Fresh Voice from the Harlem Renaissance: Dorothy Peterson\nWellesley College professor Octavio Gonzalez will celebrate the Harlem Renaissance of 100 years ago through the lens of educator/translator Dorothy R. Peterson\, an important figure whose legacy has been overshadowed by other luminaries. Peterson was a close friend of novelist Nella Larsen\, as well as poet Langston Hughes\, with whom Peterson collaborated on many translations from the Spanish to the English. Peterson also introduced Hughes to major Puerto Rican poets of the era\, including Nicolás Guillén\, with whom Hughes developed a close relationship as fellow poets. Professor Gonzalez will present other aspects of Peterson’s life\, including her lifelong work as a teacher and educator as well as her final years as an expatriate in Spain. In the final decades of her career\, Peterson devoted herself to archiving the manuscripts and ephemera of the Harlem Renaissance\, ensuring the continuity of that period into the present\, by curating and helping to promote the James Weldon Johnson Memorial Collection of African-American Arts and Letters at Yale University. This Collection is where Peterson’s own papers are found.  \nProfessor González is the Barbara Morris Caspersen Associate Professor of Humanities and an Associate Professor of English & Creative Writing at Wellesley College. He is the President of the Modernist Studies Association and on the editorial board of the Queer Feminist Maternities Book Series. \nThis Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Needham Public Library. Registration is required\, as we have a current capacity limit of 108.  \n***IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL AFTER REGISTERING\, PLEASE CALL THE REFERENCE DEPARTMENT (781-455-7559 X2) TO CHECK REGISTRATION STATUS***

SUMMARY:Flavorama: A Guide to Unlocking the Art and Science of Flavor
DESCRIPTION:Friends of the Needham Public Library \nSunday Salon\nFor Dr. Arielle Johnson\, it’s never been enough to just have great food experiences.  Understanding how they work—the deep mechanisms that go into making real\, delicious food real and delicious—that’s the stuff. From a PhD in the science of flavor to the test kitchens and labs behind the world’s best restaurants\, Arielle has explored the cosmos of taste from every angle and condensed it down into a single\, handy book. Flavorama: a guide to unlocking the art and science of flavor. Because if it’s exciting to know what you’re doing in the kitchen\, it’s positively elating to know why you’re doing what you’re doing—and how you can do it with more smarts\, confidence\, and creativity. \nFlavorama: A guide to unlocking the art and science of flavor will be available for purchase and autographing courtesy of Wellesley Books at the conclusion of the event. \nThis Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Needham Public Library. Registration is required. \n***IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION E-MAIL AFTER REGISTERING\, PLEASE CALL THE REFERENCE DEPARTMENT (781-455-7559 X2) TO CHECK REGISTRATION STATUS***

SUMMARY:Crime of the Century: How the Brink's Robbers Stole Millions and the Hearts of Boston
DESCRIPTION:Stephanie Schorow is back\, with a story that is “stranger—and far more compelling—than Hollywood led us to believe” (author David Kruh). On January 17\, 1950\, seven robbers in Halloween masks walked into a counting room of the Brink’s armored car garage on Prince Street in Boston and walked out with $2.5 million in cash\, checks\, and securities. It was the\nlargest robbery in U.S. history to date. Yet not a shot was fired\, not a drop of blood shed. The robbers simply said\, “This is a stick-up\,” before gagging and tying up the guards. Within minutes they escaped into the night with bags stuffed with money\, leaving almost no clues behind. \nThis is Stephanie’s third program for the Needham History Center. She has previously spoken to us about the Cocoanut Grove Fire\, and the Boston Harbor Islands Adventure. After stints as a journalist at the Boston Herald\, the Associated Press and newspapers large and small\, Stephanie Schorow turned to nonfiction narratives. She has written or co-written six other books on Boston’s history: Boston On Fire: A History of Fire and Firefighting in Boston; The Cocoanut Grove Fire; East of Boston: Notes from the Harbor Islands; The Boston Mob Guide: Hitmen\, Hoodlums and Hangouts (with Beverly Ford); and Drinking Boston: A History of the City and its Spirits. \nThis talk is free and open to everyone. Refreshments will be served.
