Queer Reads: We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian

Nick Russo has worked his way from a rough Brooklyn neighborhood to a reporting job at one of the city's biggest newspapers. But the late 1950s are a hostile time for gay men, and Nick knows that he can't let anyone into his life. He just never counted on meeting someone as impossible to say no to as Andy.

Lifelong Learning Lecture: What Would Lincoln Do? Division in American Political Life

Sometimes it is easy to imagine the divisions in our nation’s political life are unprecedented; however, the nation has faced divisive times before and has found ways to address these divisions which have allowed the American republic to not only survive but thrive.

In this talk, we explore one of those moments of division and learn from the leadership of Abraham Lincoln in addressing, and ultimately resolving, the divisions of his time as a guide for solutions for ours.
