| May 7 WCU Faculty Book Reception |
There will be a reception for two WCU professors to celebrate the release of their recently published books. The reception will be at City Lights Bookstore on Saturday, May 7th at 6:30 p.m. Associate Professor Justin Menickelli and Ryan Pickens wrote The Definitive Guide to Disc Golf. This book is much more than just a basic “how to” manual – it is a thoughtful, fascinating, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of the history, nature, science, and skills of disc golf.
Jessie Swigger, Director of WCU’s Public History Program, has written History is Bunk: Assembling the Past at Henry Ford's Greenfield Village. This book examines the large outdoor museum Henry Ford established in 1929. Jessie Swigger analyzes the dialogue between museum administrators and their audiences by considering the many contexts that have shaped Greenfield Village. The result is a book that simultaneously provides the most complete extant history of the site and an intimate look at how the past is assembled and constructed at history museums.
There will be light refreshments served at the reception. To reserve copies of the book please call City Lights Bookstore at 828-586-9499.

| May 14 Search Origins of the Dream: Hughes's Poetry and King's Rhetoric |
NC State English professor, Jason Miller will present his book, Origins of the Dream: Hughes's Poetry and King's Rhetoric, on Saturday, May 14th at 6:30 p.m. at City Lights Bookstore. For years, some scholars have privately suspected Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech was connected to Langston Hughes's poetry, and the link between the two was purposefully veiled through careful allusions in King's orations. In Origins of the Dream, W. Jason Miller lifts that veil to demonstrate how Hughes's revolutionary poetry became a measurable inflection in King's voice, and that the influence can be found in more than just the one famous speech.
