SUMMARY:Origins of Rock and Roll - The Early 1960s (Part 1) at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on the early 1960s\, prior to the British invasion by the Beatles\, Rolling Stones\, and others\, this twopart presentation will look at the slow demise of Rockabilly\, whose stars included Ricky Nelson\, Carl Perkins\, Johnny Cash\, The Everly Brothers\, and Jerry Lee Lewis. We will listen to the “safe” performers like Fabian\, Bobby Darin\, Frankie Avalon\, Annette\, Paul Anka \, Connie Francis\, and Neil Sedaka. These performers did not represent the “threat” to our teenage years and ears that Little Richard\, Link Wray\, and Bo Diddley did with their raucous sounds and questionable lyrics. \nWe will trace the rise to prominence of Berry Gordy’s Motown sound\, “The Sound of Young America”. William Robinson\, Mary Wells\, The Primettes\, The Temptations\, Martha and The Vandellas\, Marvin Gaye and other Motown acts brought a fresh sound to white America. Rhythm and Blues performers like James Brown\, B.B. King\, Albert King\, Jackie Wilson\, Little Richard\, Rufus Thomas\, Carla Thomas\, and the Mar-Keys and Bar-Kays performed on the Chitlin’ Circuit and in major venues around the world. R & B\, once known as Race Music\, Sepia Songs\, and Bronze music made its presence known in homes across the country.

SUMMARY:Roots of Conflict: The History Behind Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 created a global shockwave which threatened the stability of Europe and created food and energy security risks globally. This lecture will focus on the twentieth-century history of RussianUkrainian relations with an eye to the deeper historical factors behind the recent conflict. Beginning with an assessment of Russia’s two main justifications for war— ideas about Ukraine in Russian nationalist ideology and the role of NATO in Eastern Europe—the lecture will review Ukraine’s Soviet history from the revolution to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. \nThis more recent history—why the Soviets drew borders the way they did\, why Ukraine suffered under Stalin\, how Ukraine became an independent country in 1991\, and where the West fits in—provides the critical context for the war.

SUMMARY:Revolution or Terror? Unpacking the Roots of Political Violence at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom-fighter”– so begins the debate about terrorism as a political concept and legal definition. While terrorism has plagued the modern world since the “long nineteenth century\,” it remains deeply misunderstood. Seeking to understand terrorism as a sociopolitical phenomenon\, this session investigates the full emergence of terrorism in Europe during the second half of the nineteenth century\, when anarchist revolutionaries hoped that “propaganda by the deed” would inspire revolutions and create a new and more equitable and peaceful world.
