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.
