SUMMARY:(Mother) Road to the Stars: Rt 66 and its Space Heritage
DESCRIPTION:Route 66 is one of the most storied roadways in North America\, known for its roadside diners\, historic hotels and kitschy attractions. But it also boasts an extraordinary space heritage; along its course lies the birthplaces of space pioneers\, centers of space exploration and discovery\, training grounds for Moon-bound astronauts\, the best-preserved asteroid impact site in the world\, site of a famous UFO sighting\, and museums celebrating these cosmic connections. In honor of the upcoming centennial of Route 66\, Lowell Observatory Historian Kevin Schindler will lead a virtual trip along the Mother Road and explore this space heritage.

SUMMARY:"Arizona’s Birth Control Movement: Providing Contraceptives to Rural and Urban Women" with Mary Melcher
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nToday\, women’s ability to control their reproduction through use of contraception is taken for granted. But this is a fairly recent phenomenon. Birth control was illegal in the U.S. until 1936. Before birth control was legalized\, a lively birth control movement developed in Arizona\,initiated by Margaret Sanger and volunteers in Tucson and Phoenix. Working with upper middle- class women\, including Maie Heard\, founder of Heard Museum\, and Peggy Goldwater\, wife of Barry Goldwater\, Sanger publicized family planning and opened clinics. Others also provided contraceptives\, including Farm Security Administration nurses who distributed birth control to the racially and ethnically diverse women working in Arizona migrant camps. In addition\, a Catholic priest\, Father Emmett McLoughlin\, provided contraceptives in south Phoenix through St. Monica’s Clinic. The work of these varied individuals gave women greater control over their reproductive lives. This talk provides historical context related to birth control\, while also exploring racial and class issues related to the topic. \nThis program is cohosted by Mohave Community College – Lake Havasu Branch. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nDr. Mary Melcher\, public historian\, completed her Ph.D. in American history at Arizona State University in 1994\, with fields in the twentieth century\, women’s history\, and the West. Dr. Melcher has worked as a curator in various museums and as a public history consultant. She was the lead historian for the Arizona Women’s Heritage Trail\, a public history project combining women’s history with interpretation of historic sites. Dr. Melcher has conducted over 150 oral histories and published numerous articles in historical journals. She has a strong interest in women’s history in relation to reproduction. In 2012\, she published Pregnancy\, Motherhood and Choice in Twentieth Century Arizona with the University of Arizona Press.

SUMMARY:"LGBT+: A History in Arizona" with Marshall Shore
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nArizona’s history of the LGBT+ community begins long before Arizona was a state with the Native American belief of two-spirits and continues through to the seismic shift of Civil Union/ Marriage Equality. There are some surprises along the way such as artists and Arizona connections to Warhol\, Keith Haring\, and those muscle magazines by George Quaintance. Where was the Trans Flag created and where is it now? There is also the little-known story of a 1906 Russian gender pioneer named Nicolai De Raylan. \nThis program is cohosted by the Mohave Community College – Lake Havasu Branch. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nAn Emmy nomination for sharing Arizona history is just the latest recognition for Marshall Shore\, Arizona’s Hip Historian. His passion is uncovering the weird\, the wonderful\, and the obscure treasures from our past: the semi-forgotten people\, places\, and events that have made us who we are today. Shore uses storytelling magic\, found film footage\, old photographs\, ephemera\, and artifacts to bring our state’s heritage to life in entertaining and educational presentations. He has developed an almost cult-like following for sharing history through in- person and virtual events.

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 Mohave Community College – Lake Havasu Branch. \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 Mohave Community College – Lake Havasu Branch.  \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. For more information visit McNamee’s web page at www.gregorymcnamee.com.
