Join us for an unforgettable evening with Drew Gilpin Faust, historian, trailblazing first woman president of Harvard, and author of Necessary Trouble: Growing Up at Midcentury. In this deeply personal memoir, Faust reflects on coming of age in the South during the civil rights and antiwar movements—moments of upheaval and transformation that echo powerfully in today’s political climate. As democracy is tested, rights are debated, and activism surges anew, Faust’s story reminds us that young voices—and necessary trouble—can shape the future. Don’t miss this chance to hear from one of the most influential scholars of our time as she connects the past to our urgent present.
Wine and cheese will be served, and Dr. Faust will do a book signing following the conversation.
