Wednesday Jan 27, 2021 5:00 pm | Zoom | LWV Downeast Book Group - RESCHEDULED Our book group, like so much else, has moved to Zoom. For January, we’re reading the The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson. From the publisher: In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American history: the decades-long migration of black citizens who fled the South for northern and western cities, in search of a better life. From 1915 to 1970, this exodus of almost six million people changed the face of America. Email downeast@lwvme.org for more information or to get the Zoom link. |
The Democracy Forum

Beginning in 2017, just because there's so much to talk about, we continued the conversations for the first time into a non-election year, and we've been doing it every since.
In September, 2018, the Democracy Forum won top honors from the Maine Association of Broadcasting for public affairs radio.
Broadcasts may be heard from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. on the third Friday of the month. Listen live at WERU Community Radio, 89.9 FM, streaming on the web at WERU.org.
Here is information about current programs. Programs from the 2016, 2012, and 2008 archives are also available online.
We welcome volunteers who are interested in planning and producing the programs. This great project has taught us so much and made friends of our colleagues. For more information, contact us at downeast@lwvme.org
