Program Details
High Noon Talks highlight interesting and often untold topics through a casual lunch-time lecture.
Join author and historian Max Krochmal for a livestream talk as he reveals the often-overlooked foundations and liberal traditions of one of our nation’s most conservative states. Krochmal's research shines a light on the activists who, by crossing racial lines and building coalitions, democratized their cities and state from the 30s through the 60s.
