What Just Happened – January 2023 Current Events
January 26, 2023 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
Once a month, you can be part of a current events discussion presentation discussion with a twist. Award-winning professional historian Barry Bradford will help us learn “What Just Happened?”
What makes this session so unique is that we will not just talk about our opinions about the news but also learn the history behind the events and their underlying significance. For instance, when the Republicans deadlocked over their election of Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, it wasn’t the first time a speaker election went into overtime. We’ll learn about those historic occasions. Then we will understand WHY the Republican party was so divided over this issue. The history of that division will inform us about future decisions and political consequences.
We’ll go through a number of the most exciting events of the month, and there will be plenty of time for you to ask questions and offer your thoughts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ALL comments and questions must be respectfully asked using appropriate language. Speeches and misinformation will be terminated at the express choice of the moderator.
THIS PROGRAM WILL BE PRESENTED IN PERSON AND SIMULTANEOUSLY ONLINE.
