In preparation for a day trip to the Freedom Rider National Monument in Anniston, Alabama, in February, this two-session class includes the viewing of the PBS documentary, Freedom Riders, and a subsequent presentation on the controversial struggle to commemorate the attack on the Riders that took place at the Anniston bus station in May 1961. The community had refused to acknowledge the attack and bus burning which resulted in national and international headlines even though 50 years later the bus station and surrounding area looked exactly as it did that day in 1961.

The French Revolution, 1789-1798, wasn't just one revolution; it was four or five of them, stacked on top of one another in a single decade. From Marie Antoinette to Robespierre to Napoleon, the fascinating characters abound. Adding to the impact, the drama took place mostly in Paris, then the intellectual and cultural capital of the western world. The French Revolution not only gave the word “revolution” its modern meaning, our use of “left” and “right” to denote political categories also comes directly from it, as does that most hazardous of all political ideologies – modern Nationalism. This discussion should be fun!

In just over one hundred and fifty years - 1543 to 1704 - a series of great minds transformed the way we think about nature - and, in doing so, laid the intellectual foundation for modern society. Happily for us, the key figures in the Scientific Revolution - Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Newton, etc. – were also wonderfully eccentric individuals! This course will explore their "distinctive" personalities as well as relishing the beauty and excitement of their transformative ideas.

What is the value of the metal and e-waste lying around your garage, basement, or yard? This course starts with an historical survey regarding scrap recycling and its necessity for survival in Jewish ghettos. The second part examines the two classifications of ferrous vs. non-ferrous waste, and the many classes of non- ferrous material. The third part involves personal application for each student (classifying, pricing, preparing, and bargaining at the scales). The presentation wraps up with an analysis of the future of metals and e-waste recycling.
