The German Lutheran pastor and theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945) has long been admired for his brilliance, faith, and courage in the face of evil. It was almost 80 years ago that he was executed by the Nazis for his role in the resistance to Hitler, and yet many have found that his message and example are still deeply relevant today, especially for American Christians seeking to understand the times and respond faithfully. Join us as we explore his life and writings, and consider the challenge that he squarely places before us.

“Never in the history of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few.” This is how Winston Churchill described the Battle of Britain. It was one of the turning points of World War II. If Great Britain had not survived this battle, the war might have had a different outcome. Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots are the most famous participants in the battle, but many others were involved and were just as important. This class provides an operational overview and a broad view of the strategic situation at the beginning and end of the battle.

Roger presents a fascinating program on the history of the land the State Botanical Garden occupies as well as the surrounding nearly 2,000 acres. The narrative spans 250 years from when William Bartram viewed the North Oconee River in 1773 to the creation of the Botanical Garden in Athens. He will share information about the three generations of the White family who owned the land. This is the family that created the mill village of Whitehall. You will learn how the property eventually came to be a part of UGA.

This course will explore the 18th-century botanist and artist William Bartram's journey through the southern Appalachians in May of 1775, along with Bartram's life and historical significance. Bartram is considered America's first environmentalist, and his 1791 publication, Travels, provides us with one of the only ecological and cultural portrayals of the southern landscape on the eve of the American Revolution. It was highly influential in the early 19th-century Romantic literary world. We will also discuss the 112-mile long Bartram Trail and its many notable features and botanical highlights.

Colonel Saul will present a short history of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which consisted of volunteers who formed the segregated Japanese-American army combat unit. Over 12,000 Nisei (second-generation Japanese American) volunteers answered the call. 2,686 from Hawaii and 1,500 from mainland U.S. internment camps assembled at Camp Shelby, Mississippi, in 1943 for a year of infantry training. Many soldiers from the continental U.S. had families in internment camps in the USA while they fought abroad. The 442nd fought in some of the fiercest battles of WW II and became the highest decorated unit in the war. The unit's motto was "Go for Broke."
