This course is about Lee Harvey Oswald's lawyer, Mark Lane, testifying about the assassination of JFK, and the evidence that shows why Oswald may not have been the one who shot Kennedy. After Lee Harvey Oswald’s death, his mother retained attorney Mark Lane to represent his interests. Lane urged the Warren Commission to appoint defense counsel so that evidence could be examined and witnesses cross-examined, but his request was denied. Undeterred, he continued gathering information about the JFK assassination and renewed his effort to participate in the inquiry. His persistence eventually earned him the opportunity to testify before the Commission. This presentation examines Lane’s findings through that testimony, now available to the public. -

From 1895 to 1898 William Cowper Brann edited "The Iconoclast," a monthly satirical magazine based in Waco, in which he mocked many of the establishment institutions of his day, particularly the Baptist Church and Baylor University. His colorful, hyperbolic style made him famous nationwide. In April 1898 he was murdered on the streets of Waco by a Baylor supporter, whom he in turn shot to death. This course will tell the story of Brann's life, his controversial feud with Baylor, and the final confrontation that cost two men their lives. It will include generous excerpts from "The Iconoclast" to illustrate his remarkably entertaining prose, which ranks him with H.L. Mencken, Ambrose Bierce, and Christopher Hitchens, although even in Texas he is virtually unknown today. -

Explore the Holy Land through the layered stories of archaeology, geography, Biblical traditions, sacred sites, and everyday life in Israel. Each session uses maps, images, ancient texts, and surprising historical details to illuminate places many people have heard about but rarely understand in context. To connect the ancient landscape with living culture, every session also includes a song and a simple recipe related to the region, tradition, or story discussed. This course avoids politics and focuses instead on the land, people, faiths, discoveries, and stories that shaped Jewish, Christian, and world history.
