SUMMARY:Third Thursday - The Life of Jesse Hoover (Special Event)
DESCRIPTION:Sept. 8\, 2021\n6 to 7 p.m. Zoom Webinar \nSpeaker: Peter Hoehnle\n \nThe first week of September marked the 175th anniversary of Jesse Hoover’s birth. Jesse was an inventive and talented young entrepreneur\, a self-taught blacksmith\, inventor\, pump manufacturer\, community leader\, pioneer West Branch businessman\, and husband…as well as the father of the thirty-first President of the United States. \nWhen he is mentioned in biographies of his son\, Jesse is little more than a footnote\, whose work ethic and entrepreneurship were an inspiration. While remarkable in many ways\, Jesse Hoover’s life offers us a window into the social\, economic\, and religious life of the broader Iowa community that produced Herbert Hoover. \nJoin us for new perspectives on a man who\, to the son who barely remembered him\, remained a figure in the shadows. \nAdvance registration is required for this FREE virtual event. REGISTER HERE \nAbout the Speaker: Peter Hoehnle is a native of Iowa and Park Ranger at Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. He has a Ph.D. in History from Iowa State University. \n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Third Thursday - Nutritional Inequality in Vienna: 1919 to 1922
DESCRIPTION:July 15\, 2021\nTime: Noon\, with rebroadcast of recorded program at 6 p.m.\nZoom Webinar \nSpeaker: Dr. Mary Elisabeth Cox\n \n“Nutritional Inequality in Vienna: 1919 to 1922” \nProgram Description: As the Austro-Hungarian Empire began to unravel during the First World War\, the specter of civilian hunger grew in Vienna. Food insecurity increased in the city for a variety of interconnected reasons. In the midst of wide-spread food shortages\, the University of Vienna’s Children’s Clinic and Hospital became inundated with new patients suffering from a variety of ailments associated with malnutrition. Unfortunately\, hunger did not immediately cease with the succession of hostilities. One contemporary study suggested that in 1919\, 90% all school children in the city were experiencing moderate to severe malnutrition. This presentation explores the impact that reduced food supplies due the First World War and Franco-British blockade had on the health of civilians in Vienna\, as well as the nutritional impact on the city once the blockade was lifted and international food aid arrived. Philanthropic donations played a huge role in alleviating children’s suffering and reducing nutritional inequality. \nAdvance registration is required for this FREE virtual event is now open HERE. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Mary E. Cox received a PhD from the University of Oxford and is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at Central European University in Austria. She will be making this presentation live from Vienna\, Austria.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday - A Woman of Achievement: Stories from the Life of Lou Henry Hoover
DESCRIPTION:March 18\, 2021\n6 to 7 p.m. Zoom Webinar \nSpeaker: Annette Dunlap\n \nIn World War I\, Lou Henry Hoover helped start a hospital for wounded British soldiers. She was instrumental in establishing sewing factories to employ women whose men had gone off to war. In the early 1920s\, she oversaw the nearly exponential growth of the Girl Scouts. As the nation’s first lady\, Lou worked privately to find employment opportunities for individuals and hurting communities\, while at the same time raising Americans’ awareness of the historical value of the White House and the importance of the arts. In her post-White House years\, Lou continued to use her organizational and philanthropic skills to create new educational opportunities for students and cultural opportunities for her beloved Stanford community. Come learn about about the achievements of a first lady whose legacy has been largely forgotten\, but whose impact can still be felt today. \nAdvance registration is required for this FREE virtual event and is AVAILABLE HERE. \nAbout the Speaker- Annette Dunlap: “When people ask me why I wrote a biography\, I tell them it was on my “bucket list.” Ever since I was a schoolgirl\, I have enjoyed reading about other people’s lives\, and I determined that one day a book of mine would be in the biography section of the library\,” Dunlap said. \n“The decision to write about Frances Cleveland was made during my years as a marketing professor at a small\, liberal arts college in North Carolina. The advertising textbook discussed the advent of mass marketing\, and mentioned that a very attractive first lady’s image was used\, without her permission\, to market a wide variety of products.” \n“That first lady was Frances Folsom Cleveland. I did a little background reading\, and learned that she was our nation’s youngest first lady\, that her wedding took place in the White House\, and that there was a 27 year age difference between her and her husband\, Grover Cleveland. Such is the stuff of novels\, but as is often the case\, the facts may be more believable than if an author had used the same characters in a work of fiction.”

SUMMARY:Third Thursday - Lincoln\, Race\, and the Challenge of Self-Government
DESCRIPTION:February 18\, 2021\n6 to 7 p.m. Zoom Webinar \nSpeaker: Dr. Lucas Morel\n \nThis program will examine Lincoln’s statesmanship in the context of longstanding and widespread racial bigotry against black Americans. It will explore how Lincoln attempted to inform public opinion regarding the natural rights of black Americans by reclaiming the central idea of the American regime—namely\, human equality. Lincoln’s efforts to re-establish equality as the lodestar of the nation’s political practice will be contrasted with the policy of “popular sovereignty” as it was promoted by his long-time rival Sen. Stephen A. Douglas\, the leading Democrat and therefore the leading American politician of the 1850s. \nOther alternatives\, like the radical abolitionism of William Lloyd Garrison and the pro-slavery thinking of Alexander H. Stephens\, will further demonstrate Lincoln’s reputation as the Great Emancipator even before he issued the Emancipation Proclamation and helped secure passage of the 13th Amendment by Congress during the Civil War. \nAdvance registration is required for this FREE virtual event and is AVAILABLE HERE. \nAbout the Speaker: Dr. Lucas Morel is the John K. Boardman\, Jr. Professor of Politics and Head of the Politics Department at Washington and Lee University. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Claremont Graduate University. Prof. Morel also teaches in the Master’s Program in American History and Government at Ashland University in Ohio; high school teacher workshops sponsored by the Gilder-Lehrman Institute\, the John M. Ashbrook Center\, the Jack Miller Center\, and the Liberty Fund; and summer programs for the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy. \nProf. Morel is the author or editor of the following books: \n• Lincoln’s Sacred Effort: Defining Religion’s Role in American Self-Government\n• Lincoln and Liberty: Wisdom for the Ages\n• Ralph Ellison and the Raft of Hope: A Political Companion to “Invisible Man”\n• The New Territory: Ralph Ellison and the Twenty-First Century. \nHis most recent book is Lincoln and the American Founding (2020)\, published in the Concise Lincoln Library Series of Southern Illinois University Press. \nProf. Morel is a trustee of the Supreme Court Historical Society\, former president of the Abraham Lincoln Institute\, a consultant on the Library of Congress exhibits on Lincoln and the Civil War\, was a member of the scholarly board of advisors for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission\, and currently serves on the U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission\, which will plan activities to commemorate the founding of the United States of America.
