SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Irish Americans During the American Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 13  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Mr. Dennis Doyle \nStarting during the Irish Famine of the 1840’s\, millions of Irish citizens immigrated to the United States to escape British Unionist political rule and economic poverty. \nDespite their lack of wealth and education\, low social status\, and discrimination\, Irish-Americans distinguished themselves in their new home and during the American Civil War. \nAs many as 145\,000 volunteered to serve in the Federal Army and over 40\,000 would serve the Confederacy during the Civil War. These soldiers served on many battlefields and suffered heavy casualties. Seventy Irish-American Union soldiers received the Medal of Honor. Some of the outstanding Irish-American generals were notably Phil Sheridan for the North and Cleburne for the South. \nDoyle’s program will focus on the motivation of Irish-Americans to serve during the Civil War and whether their hopes for a better position and social status was realized in post Civil War America.  He will also explore how some Irish immigrants hoped to participate in a post-war uprising to liberate Ireland from British rule\, which was not realized until 1922 when a Democratic Ireland was created. \nA native of Chicago\, Professor Doyle grew up in Joliet\, where he resides. He has a master’s degree in history from American University in Washington\, D.C.; a master’s degree in sociology from DePaul University in Chicago; and a bachelor’s degree in history from Colorado State University in Fort Collins.  Doyle recently retired from teaching history and sociology at Joliet Junior College in Joliet\, Illinois  He is the current president of the 300-member Civil War Round Table of Chicago.

SUMMARY:African American Read-In: Honoring Ntozake Shange
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 7  |  1pm – 3pm  |  Free \nThis program celebrates African American culture through the voices of Black authors across a range of literary forms\, including poems\, essays\, historic speeches\, short stories\, and children’s books. Community readers lend their voices to works that are sure to inspire\, challenge\, and reflect upon the Black experience in the United States. \nNtozake Shange (1948–2018) was an influential American playwright\, poet\, and novelist best known for her groundbreaking choreopoem “for colored girls/ when the rainbow is enuf”\, which brought a powerful blend of poetry\, music\, and dance to Broadway. Born Paulette Linda Williams in Trenton\, New Jersey\, she later adopted the name Ntozake Shange to honor her African heritage. Her writing illuminated the joys and struggles of Black women with candor\, lyricism\, and innovation\, spanning plays\, poetry\, fiction\, and children’s literature. Shange’s bold voice and inventive artistic style continue to inspire generations of writers and performers. \n2026 is the 37th year of the National African American Read In\, an event sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English and its Black Caucus. Each year communities across the country are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month. This program is presented in partnership with the Kenosha Literacy Council\, the Coalition for Dismantling Racism\, the Kenosha Media Center\, the American Association of University Women\, and the Kenosha Public Library.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Along the Keenesaw Line
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, January 17  |  1:00pm – 2:30pm  |  Presented by: Mr. Dave Powell  |  $20 ($25 for non-members)  |  Register Here \nThis class will examine the fighting at Kennesaw Mountain between June 21 and June 27\, 1864\, including the battles of Kolb’s Farm\, June 22\, and the Federal attacks against Pigeon and Cheatham Hills on June 27. Both actions are easily misunderstood as to intentions\, planning\, and execution. Johnston took a significant risk in transferring Hood’s Corps from the right to the left before the fight at Kolb’s farm\, while Sherman’s intent on June 27 has never been fully explored. \nDavid A. Powell is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute (1983) with a BA in history. He has published numerous articles in various magazines\, and more than fifteen historical simulations of different battles. For many years David’s focus has been on the epic battle of Chickamauga\, and he is nationally recognized for his tours of that important battlefield and for publishing six books on that campaign\, including The Chickamauga Campaign Trilogy completed in 2016. Dave has also written on the battle of New Market\, co-authored The Tullahoma Campaign with renowned historian Eric Wittenberg\, and published The Impulse of Victory: Ulysses S. Grant at Chattanooga. Both the latter two books appeared in 2020. His current project is a five-volume study of the Atlanta Campaign. The Atlanta Campaign\, Volume One: Dalton to Cassville\, May 1-19\, 1864 was published in July 2024\, with Volume 2 following in October 2025.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Lee Beseiged
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 9  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Mr. John Horn \nThe nine-month siege of Petersburg was the longest continuous operation of the Civil War. Large-scale Union “offensives”—grand maneuvers that triggered some of the large-scale battles—broke the monotony of siege warfare. John Horn’s program and book\, Lee Beseiged\, provide explanations for the context and consequences of every decision and are grounded in hundreds of primary sources and supported by 40 original maps. His new book is the first to put Grant’s second effort into its proper perspective—not only in the context of Petersburg’s siege and the Civil War\, but in the context of warfare’s history. \nChicago native John Horn majored in English and Latin at New College (Sarasota\, Florida) and has practiced law around Chicago since graduating Columbia Law School in New York in 1976. In addition to many articles\, he has written three other books about Petersburg\, Virginia’s soldiers\, and the siege of that city\, and co-edited another.
