SUMMARY:Arizona Outlaws and the Law - Florence
DESCRIPTION:Taking the events from Billy the Kid\, who killed his first man in Arizona\, the Gunfight at the OK Corral\, and the arrest and trial of Ernesto Miranda\, this presentation will explore how these seminal events became watershed experiences for the American legal system\, and still impact the lives of individuals living in the United States today. This presentation will explore the development of the legal system and law enforcement in the Southwest beginning with frontier justice and finishing with our current legal system\, which continues to evolve and grow. \nCasey has been an educator for 15 years and a writer for much longer.  He has presented previously for Arizona Humanities\, as well as for regional\, state\, and national conferences on a variety of topics.

SUMMARY:The Era of the Big Bands - Florence
DESCRIPTION:The Big Band era\, 1930s and 1940s\, came during turmoil in the United States with Prohibition\, the Depression and World War II. People were anxious to temporarily forget their troubles and the insurgence of the Big Bands gave them that outlet. For many\, dancing and romancing to the bands were some of the happiest moments of their youth\, and this music brings back those memories\, both to those who lived through the era and now their children who grew up listening to their parents’ music. Erik brings original recordings of the bests of the bands and vocalists and when playing them\, encourage my audiences to ask questions\, identify the performers and share stories in an interactive environment. \nErik Larson earned a B. A. degree from San Diego State University in 1962 and served with Boys Clubs Of America (now Boys & Girls Clubs) for 30 years  as the director of five different Clubs throughout the Midwest and California. While in Aberdeen\, South Dakota and Des Moines\, Iowa he received a national awards for creating outreach programs designed to help youth from single parent or otherwise disadvantaged families. Eventually he was asked to join the National Staff as a management consultant to individual Club staffs and boards of directors. For nearly two decades\, he has been a volunteer docent at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park in Flagstaff.

SUMMARY:Cowpokes\, Crooks\, and Cactus: Arizona in the Movies - Florence
DESCRIPTION:Tyrone Power\, Andy Devine\,  Katy Jurado\, Steve McQueen and\, of course\, John Wayne. From the earliest days of film\, Arizona has been a setting and subject for hundreds of films. Some\, like Junior Bonner and Red River\, are considered classics\, others\, such as Billy Jack and Evolution\, surely less so. Some may even be classics in the making\, from Tombstone to Near Dark. In this entertaining talk\, Gregory McNamee\, a frequent contributor on film to the Encyclopaedia Britannica and former columnist for the Hollywood Reporter\, looks at the Grand Canyon State on the silver screen. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of forty books and of more than five thousand articles and other publications.

SUMMARY:Wild\, Weird\, Wicked Arizona - Florence
DESCRIPTION:For a state that has been home to Geronimo\, Wyatt Earp\, César Chavez and Wonder Women\, you would think Arizona earned some respect. Yet achieving statehood was a 50-year struggle\, which finally ended on February 14\, 1912. Jana borrows from both her work for True West Magazine and her work for Phoenix Magazine to put the 48th state into perspective. She shares some of the secrets prissy folks would rather forget. You will learn why this small state has had an inordinate influence on American politics\, and why\, no matter what outrageous thing happens anywhere in the world\, there is bound to be an Arizona connection. This wicked\, weird and wild romp through Arizona’s colorful history will shock\, delight\, inform\, tickle and leave you wanting to learn more! \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists.  She has won accolades in every facet of her career—investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books. She currently writes for True West magazine\, digging up the true stories behind the popular myths\, with an emphasis on Arizona’s real history and women of the Old West. Her insight\, knowledge and wit produce exuberant\, riveting speeches that always garner rave reviews.

SUMMARY:Ghost Towns of the Second World War: Arizona’s Historic Military Sites - Florence
DESCRIPTION:When America entered the Second World War\, Arizona’s sparse population and mild weather made it an ideal location for training facilities and prisoner of war camps. By war’s end\, Arizona had trained more pilots than any other state\, hosted the country’s largest POW camp\, and was part of the largest military training grounds in history. This presentation tells Arizona’s war-time role by focusing on the stories of those WW2 sites in Arizona that still have significant remaining features from the war period. Includes many photographs and first-hand accounts. \nRaised in Flagstaff\, Erik Berg is an award-winning historian and writer with a special interest in the early twentieth century southwest and the impact of science and technology. In addition to contributing to several books\, his work has appeared in the Journal of Arizona History\, Arizona Highways\, and Sedona Magazine. A past-president of the Grand Canyon Historical Society\, Berg currently lives in Phoenix.

SUMMARY:Legends of Love: Exploring Feminine Archetypes in Chicano/Latino History - Florence
DESCRIPTION:A mother’s love\, her search for her children\, and her desire to serve her family through trials\, persecution and death\, permeate Chicano/Latino history and culture. Malinalli Tenepal\, (Creeping Vine) or Malinche\, became the mistress of Hernán Cortés\, and later served to remind us that when crushed through oppression\, the spirit will rise. Shunned as the infamous “bogey woman” of the Latino world\, and known to fly as a ghost at night searching for the children she drowned\, La Llorona has a difficult lesson to teach us: the search for wholeness is our birthright. Finally\, the Virgen de Guadalupe\, has no equal in beauty\, and grace\, and her miraculous story is over 500 years old! \nStella Pope Duarte is described by Jacquelyn Mitchard as a “magical weaver with a sure hand and a pure heart\,” and praised by Ursula K. Leguin as an author who “will enlarge humanity.” Writing Through Revelations\, Visions and Dreams: The memoir of a writer’s soul\, is her most current work. Duarte has won honors and awards nationwide\, including a 2009 American Book Award\, a Pulitzer Prize nomination\, the Southwest Book of the Year Award\, and a nomination to Oprah’s Book Sense list. Inspired to write by a prophetic dream of her father\, she believes that writing\, like love\, begins within\, or it doesn’t start at all.
