East Hampton Library

American history books have largely marginalized the role that Long Islanders played during the American Revolution. Leah K. Lebec will present her late father’s groundbreaking research, elucidating what happened in East Hampton during the revolutionary era; recounting the patriot fervor in East Hampton leading up to the Americans’ defeat at the Battle of Long Island in 1776, followed by the years of hardship during the British occupation. Her father, Lawrence Jamieson Koncelik Sr. earned a master’s in American history and a PhD in Medieval history at New York University. His scholarly work provides a unique perspective on East Hampton’s struggles during the nation’s war for independence.
Leah K. Lebec, a native of East Hampton, earned a B.A. in Modern Languages at Fordham University and a PhD in French Literature from New York University. She taught at the university level for several years before devoting her time to motherhood, writing, and advocacy work for children with developmental disabilities. Together with her husband Alain Lebec, she co-founded the literacy program Read Alliance. She has served as a trustee for the East Hampton Historical Society as well as several other not for profit organizations.
This year's Tom Twomey Series is presented as a partnership between the East Hampton Library and the East Hampton Historical Society.To Register: Visit our calendar at www.easthamptonlibrary.org

Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, a classic of American Literature that many think deepens in significance with repeated readings. A memorable literary and cultural reflection on The Twenties, it expresses a complex &nbsp;theme of longing and loss that resonates today. The green light at the edge of Daisy’s dock goes out as we move through the world, sadder, not always wiser, but it can still pulse occasionally, an ambiguous memory of what was or might have been in our own lives and in the life of our country.
This is a hybrid program, held in person and on Zoom. A Zoom meeting ID and password will be emailed to all participants the day of the event.
