The Sumerians: History’s Innovators – Virtual Tuesday, March 22 at 6:30 p.m. Over six thousand years ago, the marshes of Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq) were home to a remarkable and ingenious group of people. Known as the Sumerians, they were the first to use writing and the first to live in cities, and are recognized for many other “firsts”. Yet despite all their accomplishments, not many people today are aware of the Sumerians, or the enormous debt all modern humans owe them. Andrew Coletti sheds some long-overdue light on these people whose legacy we are still surrounded by. Together, we will follow the Sumerians as they climb the heights of achievement in art, literature and government, from their mysterious origins around 3500 BCE to their disappearance circa 1200 BCE. This class is a general introduction to Sumerian history and culture. No previous knowledge of the subject matter is required!

Tracing Italian Immigrant history to the Italian-American Present – Both in-person and Virtual Thursday, March 24 at 6:30 p.m. They came. They worked. They built. From those who established Little Italy “villages” within our cities, to the fourth-generation upholders of ethnic neighborhoods, businesses, and traditions, the Italian immigrant legacy is a cultural imprint that continues to enrich the physical and social landscapes of our nation. What pushed so many Italians to leave their country between 1880 and 1924? What pulled these immigrants to New York City, as well as other American destinations? How did Old World attachments shape their responses to New World challenges? These questions are addressed as we examine the issues and impacts, past and present, of Italian immigration to the United States.
