Tales of Edgartown: The Vineyard and the World: A Common Humanity
Tales of Edgartown: The Vineyard and the World: A Common Humanity
Spend your Monday evenings in the Legacy Gardens at the historic Cooke House, where local historians and storytellers bring Edgartown’s expansive past to life. Each week features a new speaker sharing a distinct chapter of Island history and culture. Enjoy light refreshments, meaningful conversation, and the experience of an outdoor summer lecture series.
THIS EVENING’S TALK: Join author and Island lover Gail Straub for an interview about her critically acclaimed new book Home Inside the Globe: Embracing Our Common Humanity. Hailed as a tour de force, the book offers a powerful call to action for building a more compassionate world. In conversation with longtime Vineyard resident Ellen Wingard, Straub will explore how the book’s themes of pluralism and multiculturalism connect with the rich, multicultural heritage of Martha’s Vineyard. In a world divided by conflict and difference, this conversation offers an uplifting vision of shared humanity.
