THE URBAN/RURAL DIVIDE: AN OPEN DISCUSSION OF THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE “TWO CULTURES”

In a thought-provoking discussion on the Urban/Rural Divide in the U.S., participants will explore the complex dynamics shaping disparate communities. From contrasting economic opportunities to divergent political perspectives, we will discuss the impact on social cohesion and policy priorities. We will grapple with the challenge of fostering understanding and collaboration between urban and rural populations, recognizing the need for nuanced solutions that bridge the divide.

The impact of three iconic Black leaders: Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and Muhammed Ali live on in today’s social movements such as Black Lives Matter. This interactive presentation will examine their circles of life (i.e. birth, marriage, death, legacy) and their points of convergence and divergence. Together, we will relive their stories, hear their voices, and envision what they would say about America today.

Joan of Arc, “La Pucelle," arrived at the court of the French king, Charles VII, in early February 1429, and announced that he was not yet king. He would not be king until he was crowned in Reims Cathedral. Shortly thereafter Charles made her a captain in his army providing her with armor and soldiers for the campaign to Reims, deep in enemy territory. This talk will argue that it was Joan that made Charles king, showing how she did that and why she thought it was necessary.
