Kamu Bell and Trevor Noah. But Gregory has always kept it indisputably real when discussing race in America\, fearlessly lacing laughter with controversial truths in a manner that is inimitable his own. \nNow\, in *Defining Moments in Black (strikethrough Black) History*\, Gregory charts the empowering yet often obscured past of the African American experience. In his unapologetically candid voice\, he moves from African ancestry and surviving the middle passage to modern-day protests\, A captivating journey through time\, this collection of provocative essays explores historical movements such as the Great Migration and the Harlem Renaissance\, as well as cultural touchstones\, among them Marian Anderson’s performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and Billie Holiday’s haunting delivery of “Strange Fruit.” \nHere is an essential\, unique\, no-holds-barred history lesson\, sure to provoke\, enlighten\, uplift\, and entertain—from one our greatest legends.

And after the wedding\, she’ll get to ditch her dead-end job and go from being a sometime painter to a full-time artist.\nBut when the wedding plans take a turn for the worse\, in a flash\, Julia’s life goes from fairy tale to second-rate soap opera.

Taking the form of Professor Andrew Martin\, a prominent mathematician at Cambridge University\, the visitor is eager to complete the gruesome task assigned him and hurry home to his own utopian planet\, where everyone is omniscient and immortal.* \n*He is disgusted by the way humans look\, what they eat\, their capacity for murder and war\, and is equally baffled by the concepts of love and family. But as time goes on\, he starts to realize there may be more to this strange species than he had thought. Disguised as Martin\, he drinks wine\, reads poetry\, develops an ear for rock music\, and a taste for peanut butter. Slowly\, unexpectedly\, he forges bonds with Martin’s family. He begins to see hope and beauty in the humans’ imperfection\, and begins to question the very mission that brought him there.* \n*Praised by The New York Times as a “novelist of great seriousness and talent\,” author Matt Haig delivers an unlikely story about human nature and the joy found in the messiness of life on Earth. The Humans is a funny\, compulsively readable tale that playfully and movingly explores the ultimate subject—ourselves.*\nhttps://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Humans/Matt-Haig/9781476730592 URL:https://ctvegan.org/event/vegan-book-club-17/ LOCATION:144 Quaker Ln S\, 144 Quaker Ln S\, West Hartford\, CT\, 06119\, United States CATEGORIES:social ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ctvegan.org/wp-content/uploads/1024x576-mgHneS.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=-05:00:20231215T183000 DTEND;TZID=-05:00:20231215T203000 DTSTAMP:20231215T042400Z CREATED:20231121T032423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231215T042400Z UID:3151-1702665000-1702672200@ctvegan.org SUMMARY:Dinner get together at Da Legna X Nolo pizza restaurant DESCRIPTION:We are returning for a vegan get-together at Nolo pizza restaurant in New Haven.

What studies clearly now show–and what Dr. B preaches with his patients–is that gut health is the key to boosting our metabolism\, balancing our hormones\, and taming the inflammation that causes a host of diseases. And the scientifically proven way to fuel our guts is with dietary fiber from an abundant variety of colorful plants. \nForget about the fiber your grandmother used to take–the cutting-edge science on fiber is incredibly exciting. As Dr. B explains\, fiber energizes our gut microbes to create powerhouse postbiotics called short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that are essential to our health. SCFAs are scientifically proven to promote weight loss\, repair leaky gut\, strengthen the microbiome\, optimize the immune system\, reduce food sensitivities\, lower cholesterol\, reverse type 2 diabetes\, improve brain function\, and even prevent cancer. Restrictive fad diets starve the gut of the critical fiber we need\, weaken the microbes\, and make our system vulnerable. \nAs a former junk-food junkie\, Dr. B knows firsthand the power of fiber to dramatically transform our health. The good news is that our guts can be trained. Fiber-rich\, real foods–with fruits\, vegetables\, whole grains\, seeds\, nuts\, and legumes–start working quickly and maintain your long-term health\, promote weight loss\, and allow you to thrive and feel great from the inside out. \nhttps://theplantfedgut.com URL:https://ctvegan.org/event/vegan-book-club-15/ LOCATION:144 Quaker Ln S\, 144 Quaker Ln S\, West Hartford\, CT\, 06119\, United States CATEGORIES:social ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ctvegan.org/wp-content/uploads/1024x576-XyblAg.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=-05:00:20231112T110000 DTEND;TZID=-05:00:20231112T110000 DTSTAMP:20231009T002111Z CREATED:20221113T090326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231009T002111Z UID:1664-1699786800-1699786800@ctvegan.org SUMMARY:Sunday Brunch Meetup DESCRIPTION:Just a regular old get together. \nWe meet at the tables in the upstairs balcony section near the soaps and personal care items.

Copies are exceedingly rare\, and everyone who has ever read it–including its author\, Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas–has disappeared. Ariel can’t resist the promise in the book’s history and its pages\, and so steps into a thrilling adventure of time\, space\, love\, death\, and everything in between.\n“Smart\, stylish and dizzying…with a breakneck thriller of a plot…Thomas writes with marvelous panache…She spins Derrida and subatomic theory into a wholly enchanting universe. Consider T*he End of Mr. Y* an accomplished\, impressive thought experiment for the 21st century.” –New York Times Book Review \nHope to see you then!
