\; \; \; \; Timothy Snyder\, acclaimed historian and author of the New York Times #1 bestseller &ldquo\;On Tyranny\,&rdquo\; will talk about his new book\, &ldquo\;On Freedom\,&rdquo\; at 7 p.m.\, Friday\, October 18\, at the Murphy Theatre\, in Wilmington.
\n\n\; \; \; \; \; Snyder wrote in Substack\, &ldquo\;I am particularly happy about this discussion of &lsquo\;On Freedom.&rsquo\; Wilmington is the county seat of Clinton County\, the setting of some important scenes in the book.&rdquo\;
\n\n\; \; \; \; And about his decision to spend significant time in Ohio on his book tour\, he said\, &ldquo\;It is where I am from\; it is where the first chapter of the book begins\; and it is where I want to go to speak about freedom.&rdquo\;
\n\n\; \; \; \; All net ticket and book proceeds from &ldquo\;ON FREEDOM&rdquo\;: AN EVENING WITH TIMOTHY SNYDER will go to Wilmington&rsquo\;s Merefa\, Ukraine Sister City Fund to support the distribution of humanitarian aid there. \;
\n\n\; \; \; \; Tickets for Snyder&rsquo\;s Wilmington appearance are on sale at \;themurphytheatre.org \;and at the theatre office\, 50 West Main St.\, in Wilmington. \;
\n\n\; \; \; \; Readers can pre-order &ldquo\;On Freedom&rdquo\; when purchasing event tickets or at \;booksnmore.org. Books will also be available at the event. \; \; \; \; \; \; \;
\n\n\; \; \; \; Wilmington and Merefa became official Sister Cities in 2013\, and the cities&rsquo\; representatives exchanged visits. In March 2022\, Merefa officials notified friends in Wilmington that Russian missiles had destroyed Merefa&rsquo\;s school\, which prompted the establishment of the Sister City Fund. \;
\n\n\; \; \; \; Additional donations to the Sister City Fund can be made when purchasing tickets\, or by check made out to Wilmington Yearly Meeting\, with &ldquo\;Merefa&rdquo\; in the memo line\, and mailed to Pyle Center Box 1194\, 1870 Quaker Way\, Wilmington\, OH 45177. \;
\n\n\; \; \; \; To date\, through the fund\, Merefa has received $47\,650 in donations from local individuals and groups. \;
\n\n\; \; \; \; AN EVENING WITH TIMOTHY SNYDER is sponsored by the Clinton County Alliance for Compassion and Truth (A.C.T.)\, Empathy Surplus Network USA\, Books &rsquo\;n&rsquo\; More\, and Wilmington College.
