SUMMARY:Speaker: Catherine Coleman Flowers
DESCRIPTION:In Holy Ground: On Activism\, Environmental Justice\, and Finding Hope\, Catherine Coleman Flowers explores the intersection of environmental issues\, civil rights\, and social justice through both personal and political lenses. Flowers draws on her experience fighting for vulnerable rural communities of color who lack access to clean\, safe environments\, weaving together stories from her own life with broader analyses of climate change\, poverty\, and systemic disinvestment. Through reflections on history\, faith\, and interconnectedness\, she charts a path toward equity and environmental justice. This collection of personal essays serves as both a call to action and a roadmap for creating a more just and sustainable future for all communities. \nCatherine Coleman Flowers is an internationally recognized environmental justice activist and the founder of the Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice. A MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient\, Flowers sits on the board of directors of the Climate Reality Project\, the Natural Resources Defense Council\, and RMI. She has served as the co-vice chair of the inaugural White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council and is a practitioner-in-residence at the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. Flowers is the author of Waste: One Woman’s Fight Against America’s Dirty Secret. In April 2025\, TIME named her as one of six leaders to receive the TIME Earth Awards. In 2023\, Flowers was recognized as one of the TIME 100 most influential people in the world\, and as one of Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

SUMMARY:Branching Out: The Public History of Trees with Brian Dempsey and Carrie Barske Crawford
DESCRIPTION:Part of the OLLI at Auburn Brown Bag Series \n     Trees are often viewed primarily as natural resources\, yet they also hold powerful places in our cultural landscapes and collective memory. Branching Out: The Public History of Trees\, a 2025 essay collection from the University of Massachusetts Press\, explores trees through this cultural lens and examines their important role in public history practice.  \n     University of North Alabama historians Dr. Brian Dempsey and Dr. Carolyn Barske Crawford each contributed essays to the volume. In “An Island of Trees Called Old Hickory: History and Place in the Mississippi Delta\,” Dempsey examines a small stand of trees on the edge of Cleveland\, Mississippi. Though ordinary in appearance\, the site embodies deep cultural associations that illuminate how people connect with and interpret their local landscapes. \n     In “‘The Most Useful Tree:’ The American Chestnut\, Stories\, and Species Restoration\,” Crawford explores how the American Chestnut Foundation leverages memories of the tree’s once-vital economic\, social\, and cultural role in Appalachia to support ongoing restoration efforts. Her work highlights the potential for powerful partnerships between scientists and public historians. Together\, Dempsey and Crawford will share insights from their research and invite the audience to reflect on why trees matter—not only ecologically\, but as anchors of meaning in public history and cultural life.
