In her powerful memoir, longstanding international women’s rights advocate Karen Sherman weaves the stories of valiant women who survived war and conflict with the intimate journey of recovery from her own history of abuse. Sherman will join Atlanta singer-songwriter Caroline Herring for a Zoom discussion of her book “Brick by Brick: Building Hope and Opportunity for Women Survivors Everywhere.” The interview will be followed by an online Q&A session. This program is presented in partnership with the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, ACappella Books and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.

On February 2, 1977, less than two weeks after assuming the Presidency, Jimmy Carter addressed the nation in a televised “fireside chat” to speak to Americans about the looming Energy Crisis. What tools and resources does the Constitution provide the Executive branch to take on such a crisis? What role do the other branches of government play? How did ordinary Americans respond to help reshape our democracy and life as we know it? This program will examine the 39th President’s response to this crisis through the lens of primary sources of the Carter Library and National Archives.

The target audience for this program is students and teachers grades 6-12. To sign up for either the 11:00 AM or 2:00 PM session, complete the online 2021 Presidential Primary Sources Project Teacher Registration Form.
