"Gone with the Wind" at 90: The Story That Still Sweeps Us Away

About this event

Let’s celebrate ninety years of "Gone with the Wind," the novel that captured a nation’s imagination and transformed American storytelling. We will step into the world of Margaret Mitchell, a sharp-witted Atlanta journalist, passionate reader, and accidental novelist, whose Southern upbringing and love of Civil War tales gave rise to Scarlett O’Hara, Rhett Butler, and a story that would define an era. We’ll journey with the novel from page to screen, explore its whirlwind success, and discuss its enduring power, controversy, and cultural legacy. After nine decades, "Gone with the Wind" still sweeps us away, and together, we’ll discover why.
