SUMMARY:By the Book: David Wright Faladé and Phoebe Zerwick
DESCRIPTION:Two award-winning authors discuss witnessing history\, and how writing about Black stories can explore the hopes and challenges of American democracy. David Wright Faladé\, author and filmmaker about North Carolina’s Outer Banks\, and Wake Forest University professor and author Phoebe Zerwick will be in conversation at the Greensboro History Museum on Thursday\, June 15 at 6 pm as part of the By the Book Series. \nFaladé’s novel\, Black Cloud Rising\, features the experiences of the Union army’s African Brigade in northeast North Carolina during the Civil War.  He also wrote the narrative history\, Fire on The Beach: Recovering the Lost Story of Richard Etheridge and the Pea Island Lifesavers\, and the screenplay for the documentary\, Rescue Men: The Story of the Pea Island Lifesavers\, about the nation’s first and only all-black Coast Guard crew. \nBlack Cloud Rising was selected by the New York Times and the New Yorker as one of the Best Books of 2022. His first book\, Fire on the Beach\, was one of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Best Books of 2001. His second\, Away Running\, was named an Outstanding International Book by the US Board on Books for Young People. Charles Frazier\, National Book Award-winning author of Cold Mountain\, praised Black Cloud Rising for breathing “life into a revolutionary moment when the US moved a vital step forward toward achieving the ideals we’ve always proclaimed.” \n“Richard Etheridge’s story has so much to teach us about race\, mixedness\, and what it means to be ‘American.'” says Faladé\, who is excited to be in conversation with North Carolina audiences about “the lessons we can draw from people like Etheridge.” \nFaladé teaches at the University of Illinois. Learn more about him and his work at davidwrightbooks.com. \nPhoebe Zerwick is an award-winning investigative journalist\, narrative writer\, and college professor. Her writing has appeared in O\, The Oprah Magazine; National Geographic; The Nation; the Winston-Salem Journal; and Glamour\, among other publications. Her work has been recognized by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University\, Investigative Reporters and Editors\, the Society of Professional Journalists\, Columbia University\, and the North Carolina Press Association and featured in the HBO documentary “The Trials of Darryl Hunt.” A graduate of the Journalism School at Columbia University\, Zerwick is the director of the journalism program at Wake Forest University\, where she teaches writing and journalism\, including courses taught at the law school in collaboration with the director of Wake Forest’s Innocence & Justice Clinic. She lives in Winston-Salem\, NC. \nZerwick’s Beyond Innocence: The Life Sentence of Darryl Hunt is a deeply reported\, gripping narrative of injustice\, exoneration\, and the crippling impact of incarceration. The book tells  the dramatic story of Darryl Hunt\, imprisoned for years for a crime he did not commit\, which sheds vitally important light on the realities of the American justice system and carceral state. Beyond Innocence was shortlisted for the Southern Book Prize in nonfiction. David Zucchino\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Wilmington’s Lie\, calls the book “a lacerating indictment of a deeply flawed American justice system that systematically targets young black men.” \nLearn more about Zerwick and her work at phoebezerwick.com. \nModerating the program is Greensboro writer\, performer and arts programmer Deonna Kelli Sayed\, of the PEN America NC Piedmont Chapter. Her debut solo show\, American Body\, is in pre-production with support from a 2023 Artist Support Grant from ArtsGreensboro. \nSigning to follow\, with books for sale from Scuppernong Books. \nGreensboro History Museum’s By the Book series features authors exploring history connections across NC and the Southeast. On July 27\, Patrick Lee Lucas (University of Kentucky)\, author of Athens on the Frontier\, investigates Grecian-Style Architecture in the Southeast\, and on August 17\, Lisa Tolbert (UNC Greensboro)\, author of Beyond Piggly Wiggly\, dives into the popularization of self-service grocery stores. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:By the Book: Patrick Lee Lucas\, Athens on the Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Patrick Lee Lucas of the University of Kentucky (and previously UNCG) examines Grecian-style buildings and how they shaped 19th-century U.S. regional identities. Introduction by architectural historian Benjamin Briggs. \nFree program. \nCo-sponsored by Preservation Greensboro. Signing to follow with titles available for purchase from Scuppernong Books.  \n  \nAbout Athens on the Frontier \nIn 1811\, architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe spurred American builders into action when he called for them to reject “the corrupt Age of Dioclesian\, or the still more absurd and debased taste of Louis the XIV\,” and to emulate instead the ancient temples of Greece. \nIn response\, people in the antebellum trans-Appalachian region embraced the clean lines\, intricate details\, and stately symmetry of the Grecian style. On newly built public buildings\, private homes\, and religious structures\, references to classical Greek architecture became the preferred ornamentation. Several antebellum cities and towns adopted the moniker of “Athens\,” styling themselves as centers of culture\, education\, and sophistication. As the trend grew\, American citizens understood the name as a link between the Grecian style and the founding principles of democracy—signaling a change of taste in service to the larger American cultural ideal. \nIn Athens on the Frontier\, Patrick Lee Lucas examines the material culture of Grecian-style buildings in antebellum America to help recover nineteenth-century regional identities. As communities worked to define their built landscape and develop a shared Western identity\, Lucas’s study invites readers to question many of the assumptions Americans have made about divisions and cultural formation in antebellum society. \nPatrick Lee Lucas is an associate professor in the College of Design and serves as a Provost Faculty Fellow at the University of Kentucky and author of Modernism at Home: Edward Loewenstein’s Mid-century Architectural Innovation in the Civil Rights Era.

SUMMARY:By the Book: Lisa Tolbert\, Beyond Piggly Wiggly
DESCRIPTION:UNC Greensboro Professor of History Lisa C. Tolbert dives into the popularization of self-service grocery stores in her new book\, Beyond Piggly Wiggly: Inventing the American Self-Service Store (University of Georgia Press). She will be in conversation with J. David Gwynn\, UNCG Libraries and founder of the Groceteria website. \nFree program. \nSigning to follow with copies available for purchase from Scuppernong Books.  \nAbout the book\n\n\n\nPatented in 1917\, Piggly Wiggly was by far the most influential self-service store of the early twentieth century. Before 1940 it was the only self-service chain with a national distribution network\, but it was neither the first nor the only version. Beyond Piggly Wiggly reveals the importance of Piggly Wiggly in the invention of self-service and goes beyond the history of a single firm to explore the role of small business entrepreneurs who invented the first self-service stores in a grassroots social process. \nDuring the 1920s and 1930s a minority of enterprising grocers experimented with a wide variety of (sometimes wacky) design ideas for automating shopping. They created specialized stores designed as enclosed retail systems that went far beyond open display techniques to construct unique physical and psychological advantages for automating salesmanship. Beyond Piggly Wiggly offers the first perspective on the national scale of experimentation and connects the southern Jim Crow origins of self- service to the national history of this mass retailing method. Empirical analysis of store arrangements demonstrates how small stores that have previously been overlooked or undervalued as quaint anomalies were integral to the creation of supermarkets. Ultimately\, self-service was more than a business decision; it was a fundamentally new social practice. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\nLisa C. Tolbert is Professor of History at the University of North Carolina Greensboro\, where she received the UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching (2013). Her previous book\, Constructing Townscapes: Space and Society in Antebellum Tennessee\, shows how small towns played a distinctive and influential role in nineteenth-century Southern culture. She recently appeared on the History Channel series The Food That Built America.
