Reckoning with white supremacy

In this Norwich Bookstore Author Talk, Teaching White Supremacy author Donald Yacovone presents clear and damning evidence of white supremacy's deep roots in our nation's education system and texts. Sifting through materials from the colonial era to today, Yacovone reveals the systematic ways in which white supremacist ideology has been at the heart of our collective national identity.

Meet Alex Torpey

He's Hanover's town manager, new since August 2022. "I think we set our sights too low sometimes," Torpey told a Dartmouth Rockefeller Center audience on Jan. 11. "We could be a national, international example....to show people we can expect more from government." The Valley News calls Hanover "perhaps the smoothest-running municipal government" in NH.

Music, music and more music!

Dig the roots bop band Route 5 Jive. They cut loose in JAM's performance space for First Friday in WRJ last month. Chill back to chamber music for flute and piano recorded at First Congregational Church in Lebanon. Then head upstairs at Dan and Whit's for Jaden Gladstone on clawhammer banjo and fiddle.

An Installation by John R. Killacky

Vermont artist John R. Killacky will kick off February's month of Radical Love at JAM. His intermedia installation features three recent video pieces, including the premiere of one inspired by the Fluxus movement of the 1960s that valued process-oriented art and a dialogue between artist and spectator. The other works include a collaboration with choreographer Eiko Otake speaking to their dead mothers and an abstract work with tears. Killacky’s videos have been screened in festivals, galleries, museums, hospitals, and universities world-wide and are in the collections of numerous libraries and universities.
