In 2014 in Grand Saline, Texas, a 79-year-old white Methodist minister named Charles Moore set himself on fire as a final protest against the community’s racism. Drawing from his documentary film Man on Fire, Middlebury professor James Sanchez discusses the rhetoric of white supremacy and suggests ways communities might address bigotry.

In this series of online discussions, Flynn Artistic Director Steve MaQueen talks with artists from multiple disciplines about their work and their experiences in Vermont.

Biographer Mark Dery discusses Edward Gorey, the author and illustrator whose picture books full of murder, mayhem, and discreet depravity influenced Tim Burton, Lemony Snicket, and Guillermo Del Toro. Dery reveals the surprisingly serious themes woven through Gorey’s whimsically sinister work.  Presented by the Vermont Humanities Council.

VHC will post the video of Dery‘s talk by 7:00 pm on Wednesday, April 29.

In this unprecedented time, as more and more of us are turning to poetry, the Academy of American Poets launched Shelter in Poems, an initiative that invites poets and poetry lovers to share poems on social media that give them comfort or courage.

Shelter in Poems: A Virtual Reading extends this idea with a special offering of poems read by poets laureate, actors, musicians, artists, and more.

David Macaulay is the award-winning author and illustrator of Castle, Cathedral, and The Way We Work. In Crossing On Time he illuminates the rich and storied history that culminated in the building of the fastest, most advanced, and last of the great steamships: SS United States. It also tells of a personal journey: the famed vessel was the very one on which the author emigrated to America as a ten-year-old.
