"There's no place in the world Black people can go and be free of white supremacy," says Howard University Political Science Professor Niambi M. Carter in this OSHER at Dartmouth summer lecture 2022. "Even if we're not seeing big out-migrations to Costa Rica, Panama, Ghana, or other places, we might see [Black] people moving to other states that are not as hostile." | |

For the first time
We all have first-time stories. Here are some doozies from AVA Gallery's most recent Mudroom live storytelling event two weeks ago. Buckle up for storytellers Kamyn Asher, Kristen Coats and husband Paul Coats, John Weatherly, Warren Thayer, and Sally Wright Bacon. They'll take you on a wild ride everywhere from Thailand to Barrow, Alaska. There's even a story about a fox who transforms into a woman.

This week one of our bookstore owners, Allie sent another bookseller, Jack, in her place. And Sam relied on Emma to represent the Norwich Bookstore alone, as someone had to actually stay in the store and work. Quickly the booksellers bonded over their adamant and united response: Don't finish a book you don't want to. (Episode 18, premiered 09.20.22)
