July 18th, 12:30, DOC House: Annual Picnic
with local members of the incoming Class of 2014

May 18th, Top of the Hop and Alumni Hall: Annual Dinner
5:30 cocktails, 6:30 diner

Join us for our annual reception and dinner. After the dinner we will hold the annual meeting to elect new directors followed by our speaker for the evening, Pulitzer Prize and National Medal of the humanities winner Annette Gordon-Reed ’81. Invitations have been mailed to all and many have already signed up. If you do not have the sign up form, send a check to "DCUV Annual Dinner" for $50 per person as a member or $55 for non members to:
     DCUV, PO Box 577, Hanover, NH
        Include your choice for each person for:
           Soy Glazed Salmon
           Tomato and Olive Crusted Chicken
           Herb Brusted Lamb Rack
           Rigatoni with Roasted Vegetables

Our speaker, Annette Gordon-Reed, a professor of law at New York Law School since 1992 and winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in History for her book The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family (W. W. Norton, 2008), is recognized as one of our country’s most distinguished presidential scholars.
Professor Gordon-Reed earned a place in history with her first book, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings: An American Controversy (University Press of Virginia, 1997), which had an acclaimed but stormy reception when published in 1997, and which The New Yorker described as ’brilliant.’
She did not take a definitive position on whether Jefferson had a liaison of nearly 40 years with Hemings, or whether Hemings bore him several children. Instead, in the scrupulously researched book, Professor Gordon-Reed brought her lawyerly instincts and a lifelong fascination with Jefferson to the question of how the issue had been presented by Jefferson’s many distinguished biographers. In particular, it was the vehemence of their denials that such a relationship might have existed that piqued her interest. She felt that history should be able to record both Jefferson’s enormous contributions, and the lives and voices of the blacks who were part of his life and that society.

In her book, Vernon Can Read!: A Memoir (Public Affairs, 2001), co-authored with presidential confidant and long-time civil rights leader Vernon Jordan, she helps profile one of the most charismatic figures in the U.S. with a story that encompasses the sweeping struggles, changes, and dangers of black life during the civil rights revolution.

In Professor Gordon-Reed’s most recent book, Race on Trial: Law and Justice in American History, she edits 12 original essays which illustrate how race often determined the outcome of trials, and how trials that confront issues of racism provide a unique lens on American cultural history.

Professor Gordon-Reed, who grew up in still-segregated east Texas, became interested in Jefferson in elementary school after reading a children’s biography of him, narrated by a fictional slave boy. At 14, she joined the Book-of-the-Month Club (concealing her status as a minor) to receive Fawn Brodie’s biography, Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate Portrait. She continued her study of Jefferson’s life at Dartmouth College, where she majored in History, graduating in 1981. She attended Harvard Law School, where she was a member of the Law Review.
Professor Gordon-Reed spent her early career as an associate at Cahill Gordon & Reindel, and as Counsel to the New York City Board of Corrections. She speaks or moderates at numerous conferences across the country on history and law-related topics. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, daughter, and son.

He is currently active in policy and doctrine advising for the Department of Defense, chairing the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Medical Sub-Panel under the Defense Science Board in 2008.

He studied disaster preparedness and medical response during a one-year fellowship with the DHHS' Office of Emergency Preparedness.
