CELEBRATION OF EARTH AND SKY
Chapel Hill High School’s chapter of S.U.R.G.E (Students United for a Responsible Global Environment) is sponsoring the second annual Celebration of Earth and Sky event. This celebration is a wonderful production designed to stimulate environmental consciousness. We have a large contingent of interesting and influential speakers who will address a wide array of issues related to sustainability and environmental protection. The Celebration of Earth and Sky event will be held on January 27at 5:30 pm in the Hanes Auditorium at Chapel Hill High School. There is no official cover charge but we suggest a donation of three dollars that will be used to cover expenses and further support our cause. Food and t-shirts will be for sale in the Hanes Auditorium lobby.

ALEXIS ZEIGLER | CULTURE CHANGE: CIVIL LIBERTY, PEAK OIL, AND THE END OF EMPIRE
What impact will Peak Oil have on the political culture of the U.S.? What is the connection between the ecological limits we have already reached on the growth of militarism, fundamentalism, and male supremacy? How can we downscale and localize our economy to reduce our energy and resource use?
Alexis Zeigler, author of the new book, Culture Change; Civil Liberty, Peak Oil, and the End of Empire will conduct a presentation and discussion of these issues.

ZELDA LOCKHART | COLD RUNNING CREEK
Lockhart, author of Fifth Born, will be here to discuss her latest novel, Cold Running Creek. It is a lyrical, personal, and profoundly realistic portrayal of figures of our past whose stories, until now, lay buried beneath the rubble of slavery and Civil War. Lockhart presents a novel that is as significant as Alex Haley’s Roots and as sensitive in the portrayal of its characters as Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God.

INGA MUSCIO | AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BLUE-EYED DEVIL
Infamous author of Cunt, Inga Muscio will be here to discuss her latest work, which examines the state of history and its flaws. She sets out to rewrite a history that has been traditionally steeped in misogyny, racism, imperialism, and classism. In doing so, she calls for a fresh look at what we consider factual history.
