SUMMARY:Better Arguments: Free Speech
DESCRIPTION:Date: November\, 14\, 2023Time: 6:30 p.m.Location: Folsom Tavern\, 164 Water St.\, Exeter\, NHCost: FREE thanks to Service CU \nAmerican civic life doesn’t need fewer arguments; it needs better arguments. \nAt this free discussion\, presented by Service CU\, AIM invites members of the community to have a better argument. Using tools from the Better Arguments Project\, community members are invited to join us for an evening of conversation. \nHere\, we will learn techniques to have difficult conversations and to talk and listen to others who have differing viewpoints than ours. These techniques will be used to discuss the idea of Free Speech. \nWe invite all to attend and learn how to have a Better Argument. Community members will be asked to adhere to the five principles of a better argument: \n\nTake winning off the table\,\nPrioritize relationships\,\nPay attention to context\,\nEmbrace vulnerability\, and\nMake room for transformation.\n\nOnsite to help facilitate discussion will be: Sarah Jaworski\, Program Manager American Independence Center; Julia Lantern\, Assistant Director Exeter Public Library; and Laura Simoes\, Executive Director of Nackey S Loeb School of Communication. \nThe Better Arguments Project is a national civic initiative created to help bridge divides – not by papering over those divides but by helping people have Better Arguments. In this sense\, arguments don’t have to drive us apart. Better Arguments can bring us together. \nAbout American Independence Center\nLocated in Exeter\, NH\, the American Independence Center features a rare collection of historic artifacts that shed light on the Revolutionary War. Examples of popular items in our exhibits include a dragoon pistol\, brown bess musket\, and 18th century powder horn. Many of our programs offer insight into civic duties\, civic engagement and civic responsibility\, while we also feature a variety of things to do in NH\, such as camps for kids\, festivals\, summer festival\, reenactments\, and homeschool programs. Perfect for a day trip or weekend trips\, we believe in inclusivity and inclusive history and the spirit behind the phrase\, ‘we the people’.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk: The First Amendment
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 10\, 2023\nTime: 6:30 p.m.\nLocation: Folsom Tavern\, 164 Water St.\, Exeter\, NH\nCost: FREE \nThe First Amendment protects our most basic freedoms\, none more important than freedom of speech. But what do we do about speech that threatens to destroy the social fabric? \nMade possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities\, this FREEpresentation considers the constitutional arguments for and against hate speech codes and why the Supreme Court ruled against St. Paul’s hate speech ordinance. If hate speech codes are unconstitutional\, it falls on citizens to find other ways to counter hateful speech. \nWe’ll explore what capacities citizens need to preserve freedom and the social fabric. Could it be that persuasion and deliberation might be better strategies for all of us? \nAbout Meg Mott\nAfter twenty years of teaching political theory and constitutional law to Marlboro College undergraduates\, Meg Mott has taken her love of argument to the general public. She attended the University of New Hampshire in the 1970s and is currently teaching at Keene State College. Meg’s award-winning series Debating Our Rights on the first ten amendments brings civil discussions on contentious issues to public libraries and colleges. \nThis program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities.

SUMMARY:African American Soldiers and Sailors of New Hampshire During the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, April 11\, 2023Time: 7:00 p.m.Location: Folsom Tavern\, 164 Water St.\, Exeter\, NHCost: FREECapacity: 30 \nOne of the most interesting aspects of the American Revolution is the role played by African Americans in the fight for independence. Both free African Americans and those that were enslaved were key in manning state militias and Continental Army units\, as well as serving on the high seas in the Navy and on privately armed ships. Indeed\, their service to the colonies was crucial in a conflict that lasted nearly seven years. Prohibited from serving in military units and largely considered “undesirable elements\,” how is it that these African-American soldiers came to fight for the cause of liberty\, even when their own personal liberty was not guaranteed? \nIn this Tavern Talk\, Glenn Knoblock examines the history of African-American soldiers’ service during the war\, including how and why they enlisted\, their interaction with white soldiers\, service on the battlefields\, how they were perceived by the enemy and the officers under whom they served\, and their treatment after the war. \nAbout Glenn Knoblock\nGlenn A. Knoblock is an independent scholar and author of over twenty books. Knoblock has served as the main military contributor to Harvard and Oxford University’s landmark African American Biography Project\, and he has also written for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. His work documents a wide variety of subjects in New Hampshire and New England history\, including African American history\, historic cemeteries and grave markers\, and transportation related topics\, including covered bridges and the Kancamagus Highway. He holds a BA in History from Bowling Green State University.This program is made possible by a grant from New Hampshire Humanities.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk: Lafayette and Human Rights
DESCRIPTION:Program Date:  Wednesday\, May 11\nTime:  6:30-7:30 p.m.\nLocation:  in person at the Folsom Taven\nPost Cost:  free\nPost Capacity:  30This program is made possible thanks to New Hampshire Humanities Humanities To Go.Lafayette’s first foray into human rights work was during the American Revolution which he saw as a cause important to all people. He continued to promote universal natural rights throughout his life. During the French Revolution he drafted “the Rights of Man and the Citizen” and later supported other revolutions in Europe and South America as well as causes designed to deliver human rights to the oppressed. In particular\, the abolition of slavery engaged Lafayette continuously\, from the American Revolution and his return tour of the United States until his death in 1834. Lafayette said: “I would never have drawn my sword in the cause of America\, if I could have conceived that thereby I was founding a land of slavery.” \nAbout the Presenter\nAlan R. Hoffman obtained his BA in History from Yale College and JD from Harvard Law School. He “discovered” Lafayette in 2002 and spent two years translating Auguste Levasseur’s Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825\, the first-hand account of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of America\, which was published in 2007. President of the American Friends of Lafayette and the Massachusetts Lafayette Society\, Hoffman has lectured in 15 of the 24 states that Lafayette visited on the Farewell Tour. \nAbout American Independence Center\nLocated in Exeter\, NH\, the American Independence Center features a rare collection of historic artifacts that shed light on the Revolutionary War.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk: Digging Into Native History in New Hampshire
DESCRIPTION:Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest\, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience\, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground\,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here\, inches below the earth’s surface. \nMore informationPresented by Dr. Robert Goodby as part of New Hampshire Humanities to Go program. \nThis Tavern Talk will include an introduction to the film\, a screening\, and a guided discussion afterwards.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk: Uprooted
DESCRIPTION:Uprooted is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during New Hampshire Humanities’ Fences & Neighbors initiative on immigration. It tells the story of five refugees who escaped from war-torn countries to resettle in New Hampshire. The film explores what it means to be a refugee and how it feels to make a new life in a strange place\, often without English language skills\, family\, a job\, or community contacts. The film leaves us pondering questions of belonging and citizenship. What does it mean to be an American? Once a refugee\, are you destined always to be a refugee? What are our responsibilities toward one another? \nMore informationPresented by Sara Withers as part of New Hampshire Humanities to Go program. \nThis Tavern Talk will include an introduction to the film\, a screening\, and a guided discussion afterwards.

SUMMARY:Tavern Talk : From Across the Sea: North Americans in Nelson’s Navy
DESCRIPTION: Reservations required. \nJoin us for a virtual Tavern Talk presented by Sean M. Heuvel\, Ph.D. and Capt. John Rodgaard (USN\, Ret.) \nNorth Americans played an integral role in the Royal Navy during the Wars with France\, from the lower deck all the way to the highest levels of command. While some of these North Americans operated in relative obscurity\, others achieved high rank and formed lasting friendships with some of Great Britain’s foremost naval leaders of the age\, including Lord Nelson and King William IV.  \nFrom Across the Sea: North Americans in Nelson’s Navy explores the varied contributions of North Americans to the Royal Navy during Great Britain’s wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. It is the first book that explores this topic in depth. As an edited compilation\, top specialists in the field have contributed thematic essays (on topics ranging from impressment to the Anglo-American maritime relationship) as well as biographical essays on a range of North Americans from both the officer ranks and the lower deck. For the biographical portraits\, special attention has been paid to individuals who have not already been the subject of extensive research and writing. Accompanying these essays are several never-before-published illustrations depicting some of the key North Americans as well as the ships and naval battles in which they were a part.   \nSean M. Heuvel\, Ph.D. is a faculty member in the Department of Leadership and American Studies at Christopher Newport University. He holds a B.A.\, M.Ed.\, Ph.D. and an M.A. An active member of The 1805 Club and The Society of the Cincinnati\, Dr. Heuvel also co-founded the Williamsburg-Yorktown American Revolution Roundtable in 2013 and now serves as a president emeritus on its executive board.\nCaptain John A. Rodgaard\, USN (Ret.) has over 41 years with the naval service of the United States. He is also a published author and a contributor to several Discovery Channel Unsolved History Television Programs. He  co-authored A Call to The Sea: Captain Charles Stewart of The USS Constitution\, and authored A Hard Fought Ship: The Story of HMS Venomous. He is the recipient of the Naval Institute’s History Author of the Year in 1999.  Rodgaard holds a B.A. in History and Political Science; an M.A. in Political Science\, and is also a graduate of the U.S. Naval War College.
