This local mystery has haunted family and friends for decades. James will be talking with Andi about his research into the disappearance of Amy Bradley at the store. About the Book: In March 1998, the Bradley family—Ron, Iva, and their children, Amy and Brad—boarded the Rhapsody of the Seas for a week-long Caribbean cruise. The trip was a chance to celebrate Ron’s success at work and Amy’s college graduation. In the early hours of March 24, Amy Bradley—a pretty, athletic 23-year-old—returned to the family’s stateroom with Brad after dancing at the ship’s nightclub. Amy grabbed a blanket and went out to sleep on the balcony. A few hours later, her father awoke to find her gone. What happened to her remains a mystery. Now, acclaimed investigative journalist James Renner provides the first definitive account of Amy’s disappearance, enriched with his own personal narrative that explores themes of identity, loss, and the deeply human need to find meaning in tragedy. With empathy and a keen eye, Renner interviews witnesses who speak on record for the first time, offering fascinating new theories, and explores a little-known side of Amy’s life that may explain everything about her fate. About the Author: James Renner is an investigative journalist, podcaster, and critically acclaimed author of both nonfiction and fiction books, including True Crime Addict and The Man from Primrose Lane. Previously the host of Lake Erie’s Coldest Cases on ID Discovery, he currently hosts the podcasts “The Philosophy of Crime” and “True Crime This Week.” He is the Founder and Director of The Porchlight Project, a nonprofit that provides genetic genealogy for cold cases in Ohio. He lives in Akron with his wife and children and can be found online at open_in_newJamesrenner.com. About the Moderator: Andi escaped the corporate world and found her dream job of managing an indie bookstore in 2018. She's born and raised in RVA and reads just about anything, with particular favorites being Twisteries, YA, horror, and most any contemporary fiction. When she's not reading she can be found playing pinball and relaxing with her husband, her cats, and a nice cold local beer in her speakeasy home. Withfriends believes in building financial resilience for indie bookstores through community support.

Wilton House Museum

This program, presented by Shockoe Institute President and CEO, Marland Buckner, shares the story of America and the struggle to expand human freedom. Buckner will take you behind the scenes into the creation of the Shockoe Institute’s inaugural exhibit&nbsp;“Expanding Freedom,”&nbsp;which reveals the evolution of American racial slavery and its enduring impact. The exhibit boldly confronts the brutal facts of our history and examines how they connect to today’s challenges. The Shockoe Institute inspires us all to learn, reflect, and act by using the lessons of that history to improve our civic life. Join us in exploring Richmond, once the epicenter of the domestic slave trade in the Upper South, to understand our whole history and how that history has&nbsp;impacted&nbsp;life today. Buckner will share how that struggle to expand human freedom made America exceptional,&nbsp;and how the Shockoe Institute is focused on providing a venue for civic engagement so that our future can be brighter than our past.&nbsp;

The Story of America: The Struggle to Expand Human Freedom

The labels “indigenous” and “immigrant” appear to be opposites: the former describes a person in their native land; the latter describes someone who has left it. And yet, many Virginia immigrants come from indigenous backgrounds. This discussion explores the interconnections of immigration and indigeneity.
Panelists
Stephen Adkins has served as Chief of the Chickahominy Indian Tribe since 2001. He started his journey to work on behalf of the Virginia Indian Tribes while serving on the Charles City County school board. Nixon Araúz grew up in an Afro-Indigenous Garifuna community in Honduras, but when Hurricane Mitch destroyed much of the country in 1998, he and his family emigrated to New York City. Graduate school and PhD in social and behavioral sciences brought him to Richmond and Nixon now researches chronic disease and cancer prevention. Giancarla “K’illari” Rojas, an Indigenous Quechua scholar from Bolivia, immigrated to the United States more than a decade ago. Her journey led her to advocate for immigrant communities across the Commonwealth. In 2014 she was invited to the White House to share her story as a DACA recipient and advocate for immigrant youth. She currently serves on the board of directors for the Dream Project. Walter Tejada immigrated to the U.S. from El Salvador. He served on Arlington County Board of Supervisors for 12 years, was the founding president of the Virginia Latino Leaders Council, and served as the Virginia State Director of the League of United Latin American Citizens.
The VMHC's Commonwealth Cafe will stay open until 6:00 pm for guests to purchase refreshments prior to the start of the discussion.&nbsp;<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/153464/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More Info
