Film Screening: Yours in Sisterhood elebrate Women’s History! Between 2015 and 2017, Chundreds of strangers in communities all over the US were invited to read aloud and respond to letters from the 1970s sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine, the first mainstream feminist magazine in the country. The intimate, provocative, and sometimes heartbreaking conversations that emerge from these spontaneous performances make us think critically about the past, present, and future of feminism. Yours in Sisterhood (2018; directed by Irene Lusztig) is a collective portrait of feminism now and 40 years ago that is newly urgent—a project about time travel, embodied listening, César Chávez, Dolores empathy, public discourse, and the lost art of letter writing. Huerta, and a Great Golden Gate Branch, Saturday, March 9, 2pm Movement for Social Justice oin us in celebrating the birthday of César Chávez with a J screening of Viva La Causa. The film focuses on one of the seminal events in the march for human rights—the grape strike and boycott led by César Chávez and Dolores Huerta in the 1960s. Viva La Causa shows how thousands of people from across the nation joined in a struggle for justice for the most exploited people in our country—the workers who put food on our tables. In English with Spanish subtitles. Refreshments will be provided. César E. Chávez Branch, Saturday, March 30, 1pm Author Talk: Maxine Gordon on the Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon oin Maxine Gordon, widow of jazz icon Dexter Gordon, for a discussion about her new book, J Sophisticated Giant: The Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon. Sophisticated Giant presents the life of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon (1923–1990), one of the major innovators of modern jazz. In a context of biography, history, and memoir, Maxine Gordon has completed the book that her late husband began, weaving his “solo” turns with her voice and a chorus of voices from past and present. Reading like a jazz composition, the blend of research, anecdote, and a selection of Dexter’s personal letters reflects his colorful life and legendary times. It is clear why the celebrated trumpet genius Dizzy Gillespie said to Dexter, “Man, you ought to leave your karma to science.” Dexter Gordon, the icon, is the Dexter beloved and celebrated on albums, on film, and in jazz lore—even in a street named for him in Copenhagen. But this image of the cool jazzman fails to come to terms with the multidimensional man full of humor and wisdom, a figure who struggled to reconcile being both a creative outsider who broke the rules and a comforting insider who was a son, father, husband, and world citizen. This essential book is an attempt to fill in the gaps created by our misperceptions as well as the gaps left by Dexter himself. Brookfield Branch, Friday, March 1, 11am
