A Time of Unity
Wednesdays, March 1 - April 8 | 2:00-3:30 PM
E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center
It is possible that the period from December 7, 1941 to the end of WWII was the most unified the United State has ever been. War caused us to pull together in every imaginable. Young and old, males and females, black and white, all had a part. There were exceptions to be sure, but UNITY was the norm. Presenter, Richard Harris, will explore every aspect of the sacrifices made and the efficient and effective means that led to victory
Jim McElhinney Discussion Group
Every Thursday | 9:30-11:30 AM
E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center
