SUMMARY:Seán Patrick Duffy presents Saying No to Carnegie: Why Wheeling\, WV Rejected a Carnegie Library
DESCRIPTION:Once the richest man on the planet\, steel magnate Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to build libraries\, museums\, and other public buildings across the United States. He attempted to do the same for a public library in a small city 55 miles south of Pittsburgh\, but Wheeling\, West Virginia\, turned him down. In this presentation\, we will explore why this offer was controversial in Wheeling\, one of many places to decline a library donation.\n  \nSeán Patrick Duffy is the adult programming director at the Ohio County Public Library and the executive director of the Wheeling Academy of Law and Science (WALS) Foundation at the First State Capitol\, both in Wheeling\, West Virginia. He earned a bachelor’s degree in history and an MBA from Wheeling Jesuit University and a JD from the Washington College of Law at the American University. He is the author or editor of four books and numerous articles on local history. One of the founders of ArchivingWheeling.org\, Duffy is editor of the Upper Ohio Valley Historical Review.\n  \nThis program will take place in the South Wing Reading Room on the 2nd Floor.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures “Made Local” – Adriana Ramírez
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend IN-PERSON or ONLINE. \n\nA powerful chronicle of Colombia’s descent into decades of civil war through the lens of an intimate\, multi-generational tale of upheaval and betrayal. \nWhen presumed president-elect Jorge Eliécer Gaitán\, champion of the working class and harbinger of a new era of progressive social change\, is assassinated on the eve of Colombia’s 1948 presidential election\, the capital is plunged into bloodshed. So begins a singularly brutal period of Colombia’s history known simply as la violencia—a bloody civil war that spawned decades of turmoil and splintered the country into ever-shifting factions. \nThe Violence is an intimate history of this conflict—told not from the political center of the war but from the mountainous finca that Adriana E. Ramírez’s family tended to for generations\, and through the eyes of her formidable grandmother\, Esther. With startling lyricism\, Ramírez illuminates the specter of violence—from guerilla warfare to the brutalities found so often in romantic relationships to the spontaneous and senseless violence steeped into everyday Colombian life during this period—and the threat that it poses to a country\, and a family\, that is trying to stay whole. Gracefully braiding together macrohistory\, family history\, and personal narrative\, Adriana E. Ramírez traces these parallel stories of upheaval in a sweeping portrait of a country and family in flux. \n\nAdriana E. Ramírez is a writer\, critic\, and poet based in Pittsburgh\, where she writes a column and edits “InReview” for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. She is the winner of the 2015 PEN/Fusion Emerging Writer’s Prize\, a former critic-at-large for the Los Angeles Times’s Book Section\, and the cofounder of Aster(ix) Journal. Her writing has also appeared in The Atlantic\, The Boston Globe\, People\, ESPN’s The Undefeated (now Andscape)\, LitHub\, Guernica\, Nerve\, and elsewhere. She once lost terribly on Jeopardy!.
