John --
Bold Nebraska founder Jane Kleeb has been invited to speak at this weekend's Switchyard at Mayfest event in Tulsa, OK, to discuss the nation's political divide and a path toward a positive future.
Join The University of Tulsa's Switchyard Magazine and Magic City Books on Saturday, May 11 at 10am at Cains Ballroom, 423 N Main Street, Tulsa for:
A Journey into the Heart of America
New York Times bestselling author and journalist Jeff Sharlet sits down with author and award-winning political activist Jane Kleeb for a lively discussion of how Americans are reckoning with the precarious political divide that has led to a maelstrom of hate and violence across the nation, and how some courageous citizens are mapping a different path toward a positive future in rural America where neighbors put down their arms and join hands.
From the event organizers:
The University of Tulsa (TU), in collaboration with Magic City Books, announces Switchyard at Mayfest, May 9-11 in the Tulsa Arts District. This festival within a festival convenes writers and musicians featured in the latest issue of the award-winning Switchyard magazine to examine, celebrate and reimagine the future of rural America. Switchyard at Mayfest includes six events over three days with 15 speakers, including bestselling authors Bill McKibben, Monica Potts, and Jeff Sharlet, among others.
“Every election cycle, rural America is oversimplified and reduced to a set of easy cliches,” reflected Switchyard magazine Editor and University of Tulsa Presidential Professor Ted Genoways. “This issue of Switchyard-and accompanying talks at this festival-are intended to present a richer, more complex version of multiple rural Americas.”
