What is Chautauqua?
Popular in late 19th and early 20th century America—and now nearly forgotten—the CHAUTAUQUA (Shaw-TAW-kwa) was a series of community programs featuring noted speakers, music, poetry, and storytelling. They were often held under tents and brought civic-minded dialogue to many rural towns. The name comes from the Iroquois word describing the lake in upstate New York where the movement began.
Please join us for our THIRD ANNUAL CHAUTAUQUA series curated by the Clinton Human Rights Committee as we revive this long tradition through a series of fascinating presentations on topics related to Human Rights issues.
SPEAKERS! MUSICIANS! STORYTELLERS! POETS! REFRESHMENTS!
We have invited community leaders involved in issues related to Human Rights to share insights into their work. Each program will offer refreshments and a unique mix of music, poetry, storytelling, and lively conversation.
