SUMMARY:Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption\, Corporate Greed\, and the Fight for the Future of Meat
DESCRIPTION:Reading. Well before COVID-19 swept across the United States and the chairman of Tyson Foods infamously declared that the food supply chain was dangerously vulnerable\, America’s meat industry was reaching a breaking point. Years of consolidation\, price-fixing\, and power grabs by elite industry insiders have harmed consumers and caused environmental destruction. Americans have no idea where their meat comes from. And while that’s hurting us\, it’s also making others rich. Now\, financial journalist Chloe Sorvino presents an expansive view of the meat industry and its future as its fundamental weaknesses are laid bare for all to see. With unprecedented access and in-depth research\, Raw Deal investigates corporate greed\, how climate change will upend our food production\, and the limitations of local movements challenging the status quo. A journalistic tour de force that dives deep into one of America’s biggest and most vital industries\, Raw Deal is a crucial and groundbreaking read that is sure to be a modern investigative journalism classic. RSVP required.

SUMMARY:Generation Disaster
DESCRIPTION:A particular slice of the population\, which includes roughly the younger half of Millennials and the older half of Gen Z\, are distinguished by the fact that while they live in the shadow of 9/11\, it is an event for which they may not have a memory or complete understanding. Disaster mental health expert Karla Vermeulen refers to this group – those who were born between 1989 and 2001 – as Generation Disaster in her latest book of the same name. She is joined by Florence Buchanan\, director of the documentary films Right There and Right There Part 2\, which follow a group of 12 students from PS 234\, an elementary school located three blocks north of the World Trade Center\, as they reflect on their experiences at the milestone junctures of 10 and 20 years after the 9/11 attacks. One of the students\, now a special education teacher\, Jenice Lyla Walford\, shares her personal reflections as a member of this generation. Together\, in conversation with Noah Rauch\, the Museum’s Senior Vice President\, they discuss the trauma caused by numerous events that have followed since the attacks and how these events have continued to shape all of us – as kids\, as adults\, as parents\, and as a community.
