2:00 PM

The Trent House Association presents a talk by Angela Dodson, co-author of We've Been Here Before: How Rebellion and Activism Have Always Sustained America, forthcoming in June 2026, on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 2 pm via Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/DodsonTalk. Contributions to a scholarship fund established in memory of the book's co-author, Michael Days, an award-winning journalist, are encouraged at https://givebutter.com/mikedaysscholarship.

We've Been Here Before: How Rebellion and Activism Have Always Sustained America draws together the stories of these moments as a powerful reminder that America has always been both challenged and reinvigorated by resistance and activism. The book's authors give profiles of those who led those movements, paying particular attention to the contributions of women and people of color, and reminding us that the efforts of individuals can propel change.
