Starting in August, Meeteetse Branch Library will host “Icons,” a reading and discussion series featuring biographies of American cultural icons. The discussion group meets at 2 p.m. August 25, September 22, October 27 and December 1 at the library and is free and open to the public. To learn more, please call the library at 868-2248 or just stop by!
Participants in “Icons” will read and discuss Cash by Johnny Cash, Muhammad Ali by Thomas Hauser, Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume 1, 1884-1933 by Blanche Wiesen Cook, and Jane Fonda’s War by Mary Hershberger. The series is designed to examine what we think know about iconic American figures, as well as study how they used the power of their iconography to promote social change. Laura Crossett will lead the discussions.
The program is offered by the Wyoming Humanities Council and is sponsored by the We the People initiative of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information on the council’s programs, call 307-721-9243 or visit the council’s website at www.uwyo.edu/humanities.
