Twenty People Who Shaped the 20th Century

Who comes to mind when you think about the most influential people of the 20th century in the US? How about these people: Franklin Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Jane Addams, Margaret Mead? And these: Walt Disney, Martha Graham, Cesar Chavez, Helen Keller, Margaret Sanger. We’ll consider all of these people and many others in our exploration. And, there will be an opportunity for you to suggest other individuals for a list of ‘most influential.’

 

Wednesdays, Feb. 8, 15, 22, & March 1, 10-11:30 a.m.

I love being an OLLI at Drake member because...

"The RaySociety (now known as OLLI at Drake) is a community treasure. I love the breadth of classes offered, the amazingly talented instructors who offer their expertise, and the ways it connects me to vital issues and perspectives."
