SUMMARY:Book Talk with Dr. Teasel Muir-Harmony - Operation Moonglow: A Political History of Project Apollo
DESCRIPTION:On July 20th\, 1969\, over half the world’s population witnessed Neil Armstrong’s first step on the Moon. While often remembered as a scientific and technological feat\, the ambitions of the Apollo program aimed far beyond the Moon. Through spaceflight\, America sought to win hearts and minds\, foster alliances\, and shape the political trajectories of newly independent nations. Drawing on a rich array of untapped archives and firsthand interviews\, Operation Moonglow knits together a story of politics and propaganda; diplomacy and spaceflight; decolonization and globalization to reveal the political forces that not only sent humans to the Moon but also attracted the largest audience in history. \nThis event is suitable for all ages. \nProgram funding made possible by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation through the generous support of Generac Power Systems. \n \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Dr. Brian Jordan- A Thousand May Fall: Life\, Death\, and Survival in the Union Army
DESCRIPTION:How did ordinary soldiers navigate the extremes of war? How did they make sense of their service and sacrifices? These are the questions at the heart of Brian Matthew Jordan’s A Thousand May Fall\, an intimate chronicle of the Civil War from the common soldier’s perspective. At the heart of the tale is the 107th Ohio Volunteer Infantry\, an ethnically German Union regiment caught in the crosshairs of Stonewall Jacksons flank attack at Chancellorsville–and decimated again two months later atop Blocher’s Knoll at Gettysburg. Demonstrating how soldiers from a politically divided region weathered two devastating battles\, the scourge of nativism\, inconsistent support from home\, and the ordeal of life on picket\, this talk reveals the Civil War–and its long aftermath–anew. \nREGISTER HERE \nThis event is suitable for all ages. \nProgram funding made possible by the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Foundation through the generous support of Generac Power Systems. \n \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Grab some popcorn and a seat in your favorite chair\, and join us for a Movie Night and Virtual Discussion with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum Staff.

Your mission is to watch the movie\, which is available from most libraries or on streaming services (we will not be watching the movie the night of the program)\, while thinking about the discussion questions we will provide you. On July 30\, 2021\, at 7:00 pm we’ll all meet via Zoom for a discussion led by museum staff. We will cover themes such as conflict\, politics\, pop culture\, the military\, and movie-making. After you register\, we will email you the discussion questions and a link to join the virtual discussion via Zoom.
