The Life and Writings of Phillis Wheatley

Celebrate African American History Month with the next event in our ongoing “Race and American Culture” series led by Dr. Ian Afflerbach.
Dr. Afflerbach will examine the life and writings of Phillis Wheatley. In 1773, Wheatley published her first book of poetry–the first of its kind by any person of African descent in English. For this reason, Wheatley marks the inaugural moment of an African-American literary tradition.
Explore Wheatley’s most iconic poem, “On Being Brought from Africa to America,” while also discussing her difficult path to publication, including the infamous “Prefaces” that had to accompany her volume in order to convince white readers that this creative and intelligent African-American woman really existed.
Copies of the Prefaces and the poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America” are available at your branch’s Ask Us desk or The Project Gutenberg.
Celebrating African-American History is sponsored by FCPL Friends & Advocates.

The American Colonization Movement to Liberia
2020-02-24 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Cumming Library, 585 Dahlonega Street, Cumming, GA, 30040, United States
Liberia has gone through two civil wars. According to the World Bank, 54 percent of the population of Liberia is living below the poverty line. These two headlines are surprising when one considers that this country was founded as a result of benevolence from all over the United States. The capital city of Liberia was even named Monrovia for James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States.
But, the woes of modern Liberia cannot be traced just to the recent political faults of the country starting in 1980 when Samuel Doe, a descendant of the indigenous people of Liberia, led a coup against the regime of the free Blacks from the United States who founded Liberia.
How did a slave rebellion in Virginia give birth to racial nationalism in America, leading to the foundation of Liberia by the American Colonization Society? How did this nineteenth-century history shape the country’s current troubled legacy?
Dr. Gnimbin A. Ouattara, Assistant Professor of History and International Studies at Brenau University, will share his latest research about the American Colonization Movement to Liberia.

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a place that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States. It’s almost in Canada. And it’s not quite a town, because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it almost doesn’t exist. One cold, clear, winter night, as the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, the residents of Almost, Maine, find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend—almost—in this delightful midwinter night’s dream. -Dramatists Publishing

ACT & SAT Workshop
2020-03-05 10:00 - 2020-04-18 16:00, 2020-03-05 10:00 - 2020-06-27 16:00 (America/New_York) | Vickery Village, 5855 South Vickery Street, Cumming, GA, 30040, United States
The ACT and SAT are touted as an exam over everything that students have learned from 8th grade on.
The good news is, this isn’t true. It is a finite amount of learnable content.
The bad news is, it’s still a whole heck of a lot of information.
And often determines a student’s academic and financial future.
Can you imagine walking into this 3+ hour exam without an instructor to review the information? No one can be prepared for that!
The first half of our workshop will be spent going over content and strategies for each section. After that, a full ACT or SAT test is administered. The following the workshop, a follow up meeting is scheduled with you and your student in order to discuss the necessary tools and process to jump start an individual preparation plan!
Contact Deb Hagerty to reserve your spot, limited to 15 students per session.
$315 per student
