June 17th Winedown

“Stalemate on Peleliu: A Forgotten Battle”
Hear the tale of Private John McEnroe who was a flamethrower sent to the Pacific front. On September 15th, 1944, the stage was set for one of the most dramatic clashes between the United States and Japan. Within the first few days, nearly an entire U.S. Marine regiment would be decimated. Only after 74 days of combat on a coral island would the fighting finally come to an end
July 15th Winedown
Presentation by Ashley Andrews Lear, Professor of Humanities at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University:
"Women of To-Morrow: The Social Activism of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and Ellen Glasgow."
For Rawlings and Glasgow, the very act of writing as women was a political act. Glasgow founded the Richmond SPCA and was a leading advocate for women's rights and the suffrage movement. Rawlings was an avid conservationist and staunch defender of the Cracker community. Both women were known for their progressive views on race relations, especially toward the end of their career. This presentation will examine where their activism converged and how it helped to form this important literary friendship.
