SUMMARY:"Learning to Live Together: Martin Luther King Jr. and His Philosophy of the Beloved Community" with Jim McWilliams
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nOne of the most important concepts in Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings is the idea of “the beloved community\,” the possibility of a society in which people from diverse backgrounds and economic circumstances learn to live together. Conflict in any society\, he taught\, is inevitable\, but it can be resolved through non-violence and a commitment toward equal justice. This presentation will explore MLK’s ideas through the works of Charles Johnson\, the National Book Award-winning novelist\, who has written extensively about MLK and his philosophy. Together we will consider Johnson’s novel Dreamer (1998)\, which presents a fictionalized account of King’s summer in Chicago in 1966\, and his short story “Dr. King’s Refrigerator” (2005)\, which imagines a midnight snack in 1954 for the man who was about to lead a Civil Rights revolution. \nThis program is cohosted by the Coolidge Public Library. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nFollowing a career as an English professor\, Jim McWilliams retired in May 2018 and moved to Tucson. His teaching and research focused on modern British and American literature. Since his retirement\, Dr. McWilliams has spent his time taking courses\, primarily in anthropology and archeology\, and volunteering.

SUMMARY:"The Jews of Sosua: An Inspirational Story of Holocaust Survival" with Dan Fellner
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nIt is one of the most uplifting – yet often forgotten – stories of Jewish survival during the Holocaust. In the early 1940s\, the Dominican Republic was the only sovereign country to accept large numbers of Jewish refugees. About 750 German and Austrian Jews found a safe haven on an abandoned banana plantation in a town called Sosua on the Dominican Republic’s northern coast. Why did the Dominican Republic accept Jewish refugees when so many other countries turned their backs? As a travel journalist\, Dan Fellner visited Sosua and interviewed original settlers. He observed firsthand the fascinating remnants of Jewish life in this unconventional colony that’s become known as “Tropical Zion.” \nThis program is cohosted by the Coolidge Public Library. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nDan Fellner is an eight-time Fulbright fellow\, university instructor and freelance travel writer/photographer. He has published over 150 travel articles in various magazines and newspapers around the world. His work has been featured in such publications as USA Today\, The Jerusalem Post\, The Washington Post and The Arizona Republic. In 1998 Fellner joined Arizona State University as a faculty associate and has taught courses in print and broadcast journalism\, public relations\, international mass media\, intercultural communications\, and travel writing. He is a faculty affiliate with ASU’s Melikian Center for Russian\, Eurasian and East European Studies\, and currently teaches courses in travel writing\, Eastern Europe\, Asia\, unique Jewish communities\, and river cruising for ASU’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI). Fellner has received Fulbright Scholar grants to Latvia\, Moldova\, and Bulgaria; and Fulbright Specialist grants to Lithuania\, Latvia\, Indonesia\, and North Macedonia (twice). Most recently\, he was a Fulbright Specialist at Southeast European University in North Macedonia during the 2021 fall semester.

SUMMARY:"Cochise\, Geronimo\, and the Apache Wars" with Gregory McNamee
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nTheir names resound in Arizona history and pepper the of the state map\, but few people know well the tangled history that surrounds the so-called “Apache Wars”\, when fully half of the active U.S. Army descended on the territory to combat a relative handful of Indigenous warriors. Ironically\, the Apache peoples of the Southwest had once welcomed the arrival of the Americans as a buffer against Mexico\, which regularly attached Apache settlements—but then American miners and loggers began to encroach\, and a defensive war turned into a terrible guerrilla campaign that lasted a quarter-century. In this talk\, Gregory McNamee\, who has written about the Apache Wars for Encyclopaedia Britannica and other publications\, unravels the complex story of the conflict and the decades of uneasy peace that followed. \nThis program is cohosted by the Coolidge Public Library. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nGregory McNamee is a prolific writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of forty-five books and numerous articles and other publications. McNamee is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica and a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona.
