The Lavender Scare
2018-11-05 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Pollak Theatre
The Lavender Scare; Film and discussion with Filmmaker Josh Howard & Historian David Johnson
The Lavender Scare is the first documentary film to tell the little-known story of an unrelenting campaign by the federal government to identify and fire all employees suspected of being homosexual. In 1953, President Eisenhower declared gay men and lesbians to be a threat to the security of the country and therefore unfit for government service. In doing so, he triggered the longest witch hunt in American history.

The Beatles' THE WHITE ALBUM
2018-11-06 19:30 - 21:00 | Pollak Theatre
It’s just like book club but with albums! With new advances in technology, the way we consume music through our devices, apps and on demand streaming services like Pandora, Spotify and iTunes is making the idea of the “album” as an art form extinct. Get together with other music enthusiasts on Tuesday nights to discuss some of the greatest records of all-time! Listen to the album beforehand and then come prepared to discuss… there will be special guest moderators and panelists at each event! This event will feature The Beatles’ THE WHITE ALBUM.
