SUMMARY:Tracy W. and Katherine W. McGregor Distinguished Lecture in American History
DESCRIPTION:"Songs in the Key of Human Rights: Why Stevie Wonder Matters" 
 with Dr. Kevin K. Gaines\n\nPlease join us for the 2019 Tracy W. and 
 Katherine W. McGregor Distinguished Lecture in American History\, "Songs in 
 the Key of Human Rights: Why Stevie Wonder Matters" with Kevin K. Gaines. 
 Dr. Gaines will discuss Wonder's storied career as a global superstar of 
 American popular music\, with an appreciation of his advocacy for civil and 
 human rights in the U.S. and abroad. He will also address Wonder's 
 influence in promoting the rights of disabled people\, reflecting the 
 expansive vision of late twentieth century movements for social change. 
 Light refreshments will be provided afterwards.\n\nDr. Gaines is the 
 inaugural Julian Bond Professor of Civil Rights and Social Justice\, with 
 appointments in the Corcoran Department of History and the Carter G. 
 Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies.\n\nDetroit 
 philanthropist Tracy W. McGregor was initally attracted to book collecting 
 through his love of English literature. Although early American history 
 eventually took precedence\, McGregor collected English literature 
 assiduously\, acquiring many rare first editions and manuscripts. Among the 
 12\,500 volumes comprising the McGregor Fund's magnificent 1938 gift to the 
 University of Virginia Library were some 7\,500 volumes of English 
 literature. Most were placed in the Alderman Library stacks\, where they 
 have served several generations of UVA students. The 1\,000 volumes of 
 English literature placed in Special Collections include fine copies of the 
 Shakespeare Second and Fourth Folios and the second quarto edition of King 
 Lear -- all displayed in the curent exhibition\, "Shakespeare by the 
 Book."\n\nThe Library is deeply grateful for the McGregor Fund's decades of 
 philanthropic support and interest in our collections\, our spaces\, and 
 the dissemination of knowledge contained in the Tracy W. McGregor 
 Library.\n\nEvent is free and open to the public.  Space is limited.  
 Registration is required - register here.
