SUMMARY:Kindness in a Cup of Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 23  |  6:30pm – 7:30pm  |  Presented by Doug Dammann and Steve Acker  \nOne of the items that brought together the Civil War soldiers and sometimes led to moments of civility and understanding was coffee.   No single item of food or drink meant as much to Civil War soldiers.  They talked about coffee\, wrote about coffee\, and dreamed about coffee.  Based on first hand written accounts\, this program describes the different methods Civil War soldiers obtained\, brewed and shared their coffee and how these actions sometimes brought them brief moments of peace\, comfort and kindness. \nEach year\, the Kenosha Coalition for Dismantling Racism hosts a week affiliated with continuing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of kindness and community. In 2025\, Kindness Week programming will occur from January 17-25.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: “What Did Lincoln Know About Science\, and Did It Matter?”
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 14  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Dr. James M. Cornelius \nJames M. Cornelius\, Ph.D.\, the curator of the Lincoln Presidential Library from 2007-2018\, has been working on this topic for more than a decade and given two preliminary public talks on the subject.  It begins from the well-known surprise that Abraham Lincoln was our only president who held a scientific patent\, then takes up the mental world of his era concerning such largely uncovered topics (at least in Lincoln circles) as ‘race science\,’ phrenology\, genetic inheritance\, astronomy\, geography\, weaponry\, folk vs. “real” medicine\, natural history and discovery\, even linguistics.  Some of these fields may have influenced his presidential or other political actions.  Parts of the talk may be unpalatable to polite conversation about him\, and that is why the topic needs addressing. \nCornelius\, a native of Minneapolis\, is married to Anne.  They were classmates at Lawrence University in Appleton and have two grown daughters. He is the secretary for and editor of the Abraham Lincoln Association’s newsletter For the People (Springfield\, Ill.)\, former editor (2018-2023) of the Journal of the ALA\, and the author or editor of half-a-dozen books on Lincoln and his times.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Wildfire\, Miss Clampitt\, and the Wonder Girl from the West: Early Women Sculptors of Abraham Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 14  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Mr. Dave Wiegers  \nIn the middle of the 19th century\, women were not generally a force in American sculpture. Art\, and especially sculpture\, were a male-centric occupation. Three women sculpted images of Abraham Lincoln in the 1860s and 1870s\, and each has an interesting story. Two of these women sculptors\, Vinnie Ream (Hoxie) and Sarah Fisher Ames\, would produce images of Lincoln that would be displayed in the United States Capitol building. A third\, Edmonia Lewis\, broke many barriers of race and gender to become a well-known sculptor. Each of these women has a unique story and\, other than Ream\, they have not had their stories widely told.

SUMMARY:“Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 22  |  1pm – 2pm  |  Presented by Ron Kirkwood \nThe blood stains are gone\, but the worn floorboards remain. The doctors\, nurses\, and patients who toiled and suffered and ached for home at the Army of the Potomac’s XI Corps hospital at the George Spangler Farm in Gettysburg have long since departed. Happily\, though\, their stories remain\, and noted journalist and George Spangler Farm expert Ronald D. Kirkwood brings these people and their experiences to life in “Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg. \nUsing a massive array of firsthand accounts\, Kirkwood re-creates the sprawling XI Corps hospital complex and the people who labored and suffered there—especially George and Elizabeth Spangler and their four children\, who built a thriving 166-acre farm only to witness it nearly destroyed when war paid them a bloody visit that summer of 1863. Stories rarely if ever told of nurses\, surgeons\, ambulance workers\, musicians\, teenage fighters\, and others are weaved seamlessly through gripping\, smooth-flowing prose.

When author and Baltimore resident Nancy Schumm and Darden met\, their common interest in civil rights and humanitarian works inspired them to combine their efforts to promote the historical biography of Lake Zurich founder Seth Paine.
