Exhibiting Bias Exhibit Opening
<p>Iowa prides itself on its history of advancing civil rights ahead of the nation, but progress is rarely a straight line. Iowa's efforts to ensure the rights of women, people of color, the LGBTQ community and others have sometimes fallen short of fully addressing the inequities endured by these groups. Explore the stories of those most often marginalized by history. Exhibit opens to the public Saturday, November 7th. The History Center is open Fridays & Saturdays 12:00-4:00 p.m. Admission to the museum is $7.00 general public and FREE for members. <br> <br> This exhibit is sponsored by Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust </p> 2020-10-14 16:00:00 -0500

Virtual Thursday Forum: The 1918 Influenza Pandemic
<p dir="ltr">A century ago, the world faced a global health crisis that in many ways parallels the present-day challenges we face during the COVID-19 pandemic. This Thursday Forum offers historical perspective and insights on the current public health crisis by providing an overview of the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic, which erupted amidst the already-significant suffering and destruction of World War I. This two-session forum will begin with an overview of the origins, diffusion, mitigation, and impacts of the 1918 influenza outbreak. We will look into how the disease developed and spread, examining the pandemic from a global perspective. The presentation will consider the medical understanding of the disease and attempts to counter it, as well as the social and cultural factors that determined its evolution and treatment. The second forum will examine how the outbreak played out in Cedar Rapids, comparing and contrasting the experience of students at Coe and townspeople in the area. Through use of historical archival and newspaper sources, we will recreate the situation in eastern Iowa and evaluate the impact that the war, gender, and class had on healthcare and survival. This examination will be tied together with a look into the life and legend of Helen Roberts, the only Coe student to die in the epidemic and who is now alleged to haunt Voorhees Hall.</p><p>The virtual event will be found at <a href="https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/">https://portal.stretchinternet.com/coeadmin/</a></p> 2020-10-29 23:58:00 -050010/29/2012:00 a.m.Coe CollegeCedar Rapids -

A Look Behind Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" Broadcast
<p>On the Eve of Halloween 1938, a young actor/director broadcast a radio drama based on a 40-year-old novel: <br>The War of the Worlds. While Orson Welles' original broadcast had a relatively low audience, the impact it had, and continues to have, on American Pop Culture is staggering. <br><br>How much of that impact was reality, and how much has been exaggerated? Were there riots in the streets from panicked listeners? Did Orson Welles know he would frighten listeners, or was this an unintended accident?<br><br>Attend this illustrated lecture, and learn the real story! Presented by Historian and Librarian Laura Keyes.</p> 2020-09-15 19:00:00 -0500
