SUMMARY:Descended: Searching for My Gullah-Geechee Roots by Keith Rushing
DESCRIPTION:The Heritage Library invites you to celebrate local authors with two special afternoon events this May. Meet the authors\, hear the stories behind their books and personal journeys\, and enjoy a light afternoon tea. The authors will be available to sign purchased books. It began with a name—Sancho. A single memory from his oldest living relative launched author Keith Rushing on a powerful journey to uncover his family’s past. What he discovered was a deep Gullah-Geechee heritage rooted in Hilton Head Island. Sancho\, born into slavery\, later fought in the Civil War for his freedom and became a landowner—a story of strength\, identity\, and legacy. In Descended: Searching for My Gullah-Geechee Roots\, Rushing weaves personal discovery with historical insight\, tracing a lineage shaped by resilience and culture. His story is both deeply personal and universally resonant. Join Rushing and special guests Ahmad Ward\, Murray Christopher\, and Luanna Graves-Sellars for an inspiring afternoon exploring the importance of knowing where you come from—and why that knowledge matters. \n$35 per person | Limited seating \nReserve your spot at www.heritagelib.org

SUMMARY:Marie Yovanovitch- Ukraine: Can Democracy Survive?
DESCRIPTION:Marie Yovanovitch was at the height of her diplomatic career when it all came crashing down. In the middle of her third ambassadorship—a rarity in the world of diplomacy—she was targeted by a smear campaign and abruptly recalled from her post in Kyiv\, Ukraine. In the months that followed\, she endured personal tragedy while simultaneously being pulled into the blinding lights of the first impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump. It was a time of chaos and pain\, for her and for the nation. \nYet Yovanovitch was no stranger to instability and injustice. Born into a family that had survived Soviet and Nazi terror\, she first saw the corrosive effect of corruption in Somalia while cutting her teeth as a diplomat in the male-dominated world of the 1980s State Department. She was an eyewitness to the 1993 constitutional crisis in Russia and the street fighting in Moscow. And she rose to the top of her profession in the crucible of the former USSR\, where she saw how President Vladimir Putin adeptly exploited corrupt leaders in neighboring countries and undermined their developing democracies. \nNowhere was Putin’s aggression clearer than in Ukraine\, where Russia meddled in elections\, launched cyberattacks\, peddled misinformation\, illegally annexed Crimea\, invaded the Donbas\, and attacked Ukrainian ships in the Black Sea. But when Yovanovitch was abruptly recalled from her post and Ukraine’s democratically elected president\, Volodymyr Zelenskyy\, found himself set upon by Trump\, it became clear just how dangerously close to the edge America itself had strayed. \nThrough it all\, Yovanovitch tirelessly advocated for the Ukrainian people\, while advancing U.S. interests and staying true to herself. She will discuss Ukraine’s prospects going forward and discuss whether the Ukrainian democracy can survive.

SUMMARY:WACHH Friday Speaker Series: How  to Lose the Information Wars
DESCRIPTION:  \nNina Jankowicz\, a Wilson Center Global Fellow at the Kennan Institute\,  \nRecent cyberattacks have forced the United States and the Western to finally wake up to the threat of online warfare and the attacks from Russia. The question no one seems to be able to answer is: what can the West do about it? \nCentral and Eastern European states\, however\, have been aware of the threat for years. Nina Jankowicz has advised these governments on the front lines of the information war. The lessons she learned from that fight\, and from her attempts to get US Congress to act\, make for essential reading. \nHow to Lose the Information War takes the reader on a journey through five Western governments’ responses to Russian information warfare tactics – all of which have failed. She journeys into the campaigns the Russian operatives run and shows how we can better understand the motivations behind these attacks and how to beat them. Above all\, this book shows what is at stake: the future of civil discourse and democracy and the value of truth itself.
