Slainte! (To Your Health in Gaelic) This class will explore and celebrate the history of the Irish in America. The Scotch-Irish arrived first and moved to Appalachia then came the Potato Famine hoards to the inner cities in the 1850's. We will delve into the anti- Irish Catholic movements such as the Know Nothing Party and the Knights of the White Camelia through to the 1960 election of JFK. We'll also enjoy some tales, and Irish/American music along the way. We all have a wee bit of Irish (blarney) in all of us! (Term 1 Class)
