As the #CHQ2022 Summer Assembly continues, we remember our beloved friend David McCullough w/ one of the many #Chautauquotations he conveyed during his years at @chq. His words, we feel, speak not only to Week 8's theme—"New Profiles in Courage"—but to our community at this time.

@SalmanRushdie off ventilator and talking! Continued prayers from all @chq

We ask for your prayers for Salman Rushdie and Henry Reese, and patience as we fully focus on coordinating with police officials following a tragic incident at the Amphitheater today. All programs are canceled for the remainder of the day. Please consult the NYS Police statement.

The collective heart of Chautauquans the world over is heavy as we mourn the loss of America's premier storyteller & historian David McCullough. As he graced our stages & conversation spaces, he made us better. May @chq always aspire to be the ideal community that David saw in us
