    Zoom Meeting

    David R. Roediger recounts how ethnic groups considered white today-including Jewish-, Italian-, and Polish-Americans-were once viewed as undesirables by the WASP establishment in the United States. They eventually became part of white America, through the nascent labor movement, New Deal reforms, and a rise in home-buying.

Footsteps Through Time by Irene Planinsek Odorizzi, tentatively scheduled for June 16th, has been rescheduled to Tuesday, October 6th.
