Wallach investigates the experiences and diverse convictions of several generations of African American activists\, ranging from Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois to Mary Church Terrell\, Elijah Muhammad\, and Dick Gregory. While differing widely in their approaches to diet and eating\, they uniformly made the cultivation of “proper” food habits a significant dimension of their work and their conceptions of racial and national belonging. Tracing their quests for literal sustenance brings together the race\, food\, and intellectual histories of America. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Hoopla\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/cookbook-club-the-food-axis-cooking-eating-and-the-architecture-of-american-houses-3/ LOCATION:CLP – Downtown\, 612 Smithfield Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15222\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/every-nation-has-its-dish-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4417491;-79.9971122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Downtown 612 Smithfield Street Pittsburgh PA 15222 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=612 Smithfield Street:geo:-79.9971122,40.4417491 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270216T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270216T190000 DTSTAMP:20261111T182121Z CREATED:20261013T151220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261111T182121Z UID:10008260-1802800800-1802804400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America’s First Paramedics by Kevin Hazzard. \nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n American Sirens\n The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America’s First Paramedics\n Kevin Hazzard \n \n\n Up until 1968\, if you suffered a medical crisis\, your chances of survival were minimal. That all changed with the Freedom House EMS in Pittsburgh\, a group of Black men who became America’s first paramedics and set the gold standard for emergency medicine around the world\, only to have their legacy erased–until now. Born from the vision of a Nobel Prize-nominated physician\, the needs of a country in pain\, and the ashes of Pittsburgh’s downturn in the 1960s\, Freedom House brought together a group of young\, uneducated Black men to forge a new frontier in health care. Their job was grueling\, the rules made up as they went along\, and their mandate nearly impossible: prove to a skeptical public and the politicians that paramedics were a noble and valuable endeavor and\, most importantly\, that they themselves were worthy professionals performing a crucial public service. Despite the long odds and attempts to shut them down\, they succeeded spectacularly. In American Sirens\, acclaimed journalist and paramedic Kevin Hazzard tells a dramatic story of heroes and villains\, of brutal attempts to stifle hope\, and the resilience of a community that fought back. He follows a rich cast of characters that includes John Moon\, an orphan who found his calling as a paramedic; Peter Safar\, the Nobel Prize-nominated physician who invented CPR and realized his vision for a trained ambulance service; and Nancy Caroline\, the idealistic young doctor young doctor who turned a scrappy team into an international leader. At every turn they battled racism–from the community\, the police\, and the government. Never-before revealed in full\, this is a rich and troubling hidden history of the Black origins of America’s paramedics\, a special band of dedicated essential workers\, who stand ready to serve day and night on the line between life and death for every one of us. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook \n \n \n \n eAudio URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-15/ LOCATION:CLP – Hazelwood\, 5006 Second Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15207\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/American-Sirens_1080x600.jpg GEO:40.4083381;-79.9436358 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Hazelwood 5006 Second Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15207 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=5006 Second Avenue:geo:-79.9436358,40.4083381 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270217T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270217T130000 DTSTAMP:20261111T185534Z CREATED:20261020T191338Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261111T185534Z UID:10009130-1802865600-1802869200@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Smithfield Critics Book Discussion Group DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on American Sirens: The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America’s First Paramedics by Kevin Hazzard. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n American Sirens In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n American Sirens\n The Incredible Story of the Black Men Who Became America’s First Paramedics\n Kevin Hazzard \n \n\n Up until 1968\, if you suffered a medical crisis\, your chances of survival were minimal.

Butler. \nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming. \n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Bloodchild and Other Stories\n Octavia E. Butler \n \n\n A perfect introduction for new readers and a must-have for avid fans\, this New York Times Notable Book includes “Bloodchild\,” winner of both the Hugo and the Nebula awards and “Speech Sounds\,” winner of the Hugo Award. Appearing in print for the first time\, “Amnesty” is a story of a woman named Noah who works to negotiate the tense and co-dependent relationship between humans and a species of invaders. Also new to this collection is “The Book of Martha” which asks What would you do if God granted you the ability-and responsibility-to save humanity from itself?\nLike all of Octavia Butler’s best writing\, these works of the imagination are parables of the contemporary world. She proves constant in her vigil\, an unblinking pessimist hoping to be proven wrong\, and one of contemporary literature’s strongest voices. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/book-club-50/ LOCATION:CLP – Allegheny\, 1230 Federal Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15212\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/blood-child-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.4563927;-80.006615 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Allegheny 1230 Federal Street Pittsburgh PA 15212 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1230 Federal Street:geo:-80.006615,40.4563927 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20270226T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20270226T113000 DTSTAMP:20261111T190017Z CREATED:20261013T161417Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261111T190017Z UID:10008269-1803637800-1803641400@carnegielibrary.org SUMMARY:Friday Edition Book Club DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lively discussion on The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett .\nThis event is part of our Black History Month 2027 programming.\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n In the Catalog\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n The Vanishing Half\n Brit Bennett \n \n\n From The New York Times -bestselling author of The Mothers \, a stunning new novel about twin sisters\, inseparable as children\, who ultimately choose to live in two very different worlds\, one black and one white. \n \n \n From the Catalog\n \n \n \n Book \n \n \n \n \n \n Other Formats \n \n \n \n Audiobook CD \n \n \n \n Large Print \n \n \n \n \n Libby\n \n \n \n eAudio \n \n \n \n eBook URL:https://carnegielibrary.org/event/friday-edition-book-club-8/ LOCATION:CLP – Woods Run\, 1201 Woods Run Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, PA\, 15212\, United States CATEGORIES:Book Club,Social Gatherings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegielibrary.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/the-vanishing-half-1080x600-1.jpg GEO:40.476239;-80.0302122 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=CLP – Woods Run 1201 Woods Run Avenue Pittsburgh PA 15212 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1201 Woods Run Avenue:geo:-80.0302122,40.476239 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
