SUMMARY:This Land is Your Land
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Beverly Gage joins former Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan to discuss her new book\, This Land is Your Land: A Road Trip through U.S. History\, ahead of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. \nLimited copies of This Land is Your Land will be available for free.\n  \n     \nThis program is presented in partnership with the Watkins Museum of History and the Lawrence Public Library \n  \n\n  \nDr. Colleen Shogan served as the 11th Archivist of the United States – the first woman to be appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate to lead the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). She currently serves as a senior fellow at More Perfect where she leads In Pursuit\, an ambitious history-based nonpartisan civics initiative that is identifying the most insightful and timeless lessons from the past 250 years of American history. Shogan last visited the Dole Institute in January 2026\, where she was recognized at the 2026 Elizabeth Dole Women in Leadership Lecture. \nBeverly Gage teaches American history at Yale. Her book G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century received the 2023 Pulitzer Prize for Biography\, the Bancroft Prize in American History\, the National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography\, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Biography. She is also the author of The Day Wall Street Exploded: A Story of America in its First Age of Terror\, and writes for numerous journals and magazines\, including The New Yorker\, The New York Times\, and The Washington Post. \n  \n\n  \nAbout This Land is Your Land\nRide along with Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Beverly Gage as she travels the country to see the museums\, historic sites\, roadside attractions\, reenactments\, and souvenir shops where Americans learn—and fight—about our history. From the birth of the nation in Philadelphia to Disneyland and the California dream\, This Land Is Your Land offers a guided tour of thirteen places and thirteen key moments that define America’s greatest successes and challenges. \nThe year 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence\, a document that proclaimed the liberty and equality of all human beings\, but produced a country that often failed to agree upon—or live up to—those ideals. This Land Is Your Land is for everyone who wants to find that history—to experience it and confront it\, to celebrate it and condemn it—in the places where it happened. \nGage shows that Americans can face their past and still love their country. Toss the book in the back seat—or listen on audio with the windows down—and join the journey.

SUMMARY:The Boundless Game: Soccer Stories from Across the Street to Around the World
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of the 2026 World Cup Final\, join author and historian Tim Bascom for a discussion on his new book\, The Boundless Game: Soccer Stories from Across the Street to Around the World\, which explores how soccer matters so much in our common\, everyday lives\, and how it brings the world closer together. \n  \nLimited copies of The Boundless Game will be available for purchase following the program. Tim Bascom will also be available to sign copies of books for guests in attendance.\n  \n \nThis program is presented in partnership with the University Press of Kansas \n  \n\n  \nTim Bascom\, who learned to play soccer as a youth in Ethiopia\, is the author of two prize-winning memoirs\, Chameleon Days and Running to the Fire; two essay collections\, The Comfort Trap and Climbing Lessons; a collection of short stories\, Continental Drift; and the novel Squatters’ Rites. \n  \n\n  \nAbout The Boundless Game\nA lifelong soccer player and award-winning author shows us how the sport transcends races\, ethnicities\, cultures\, and experiences and brings us all closer together. \nTim Bascom spent half his childhood in Kansas and the other half in East Africa. Living and traveling around the world\, the game of soccer proved a constant truth. Through storytelling that effortlessly flows between poignant and funny\, sobering and charming\, Bascom explores why soccer matters so much in our common\, everyday lives\, and how this ordinary yet extraordinary game can bring us all a little closer together. \nHis passionate vision for this most global game leads Bascom to describe how soccer brought him sanity in the middle of a brutal revolution in Ethiopia and how bridging divisions of race and culture was key to success for teams he joined in Chicago and Kansas. From watching Arsenal’s energetic rise in the Premier League to the bravery of a besieged Afghanistan Women’s National Team\, and from pickup games in the Midwest and the Middle East\, Bascom finds universal truths and deeply human meaning in the beautiful game of soccer.
