Dates: Thursday, October 19, 2017 07:00pm - 08:30pm

Whereas posters formed a chief source of propaganda on the home front, military flags served a similar purpose on the battlefront. Once overseas, the American Expeditionary Force used the patriotic form of the flag – a ...

An Unintentional Consequence of WWI: American Religious Pluralism and Jewish Experience
Dates: Monday, October 23, 2017 07:00pm - 08:30pm

This talk will explore how these changes came about – who advocated ...
