They rose out of segregation as racial tensions in North Omaha boiled hotter and hotter. During the civil rights era, they ascended to national prominence – Bob Boozer, Gale and Roger Sayers, Marlin Briscoe, Ron Boone, Johnny Rodgers and Bob Gibson. A neighborhood so vibrant, so unified that individual accomplishments and devastations touched every house from Tech High to Kountze Park. A neighborhood where, depending on the night, they might see Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Ray Charles, James Brown, Joe Louis, Jesse Owens or Jackie Robinson, just walking down 24th Street. A neighborhood, despite its humble size and remote location in middle America, became a progressive beacon in the national protest movement. Omaha’s black athletes of the 1950s and ’60s were driven by ruthless, tireless mentors; nurtured by a fanatical rec sport culture; sharpened by hundreds of talented peers. Together in triumph, they put North Omaha on the sports map.

Pandemics, in both their causes and consequences, are simultaneously simple and yet heinously complex. They originate causally with tiny microbes (viruses, bacteria, etc.); yet their effects and consequences are powerful enough to hasten worlds or alter the course of history. Explore, in a highly interdisciplinary manner, six widespread outbreaks of infectious disease.

We are still fascinated and horrified. The citizens of Post WWI Germany were the best educated and among the most sophisticated in the world. Yet Adolph Hitler emerged as their leader, even though he foretold the things he would do – things that caused unimaginable horror. How could that happen then, and could it happen again? Although some of the content deals with the war and holocaust-related issues, this is not a course on WWII, but rather about the Nazis and Hitler’s rise.
