SUMMARY:King of the North: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Life of Struggle Outside the South—A Conversation With Author Jeanne Theoharis and Researchers David Rondeau\, Tyra Smart\, and Gabrielle White
DESCRIPTION:The Martin Luther King Jr. of popular memory vanquished Jim Crow in the South. But in this myth-shattering book\, Jeanne Theoharis argues that King’s time in Boston\, New York\, Los Angeles\, and Chicago was at the heart of his campaign for racial justice. King of the North follows the Kings as they come of age in school in the North and as he crisscrosses the country from the Northeast to the West Coast\, challenging school segregation\, police brutality\, housing segregation\, and job discrimination. For these efforts\, he was relentlessly attacked by white liberals\, the federal government\, and the national media. \nJoin us on for a conversation on King of the North—particularly focused on how the nation’s flagship print media covered King’s work outside the South—with Jeanne Theoharis and three of her research assistants for the book\, Brooklyn College graduates David Rondeau\, Tyra Smart\, and Gabrielle White\, who helped her document this media story.

SUMMARY:The Cult of CrossFit: Christianity and the American Fitness Phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of Professor of Anthropology Katie Rose Hejtmanek’s The Cult of CrossFit. She will be joined in conversation by Lauren Mancia\, professor of history at Brooklyn College and professor of medieval studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. \nWe all have that one friend who’s a little too into CrossFit. They talk about it all the time\, and the way they describe it\, you’d think they were describing a cult. Hejtmanek’s research spans the United States and six continents to understand what makes certain people feel so devoted to CrossFit. Despite presenting itself as a secular space\, Hejtmanek argues that CrossFit is deeply intertwined with American Christian values. She makes the case that the Christianity that shapes CrossFit is the same kind of Christianity that shapes much of America\, usually in ways we do not even notice. \nRegister Now \n
