Mondays T Cherokees in the Revolutionary Era and Beyond Experiences in the French and Indian War (1754-63) had a"ected Cherokee diplomacy and their alliances. As some colonists began to !ght for their independence, some Cherokee leaders advocated for neutrality in the war, while others aligned with Great Britain.

Exploring the divisions in the Cherokee Nation helps us understand the deep divisions in the colonies as loyalists fought patriots. The turmoil of the American Revolution extends beyond military battles. The aftermath illustrates how the creativity and adaptability of indigenous survivors of war can make peace, overcome challenges, and build new lives.

The changes in Cherokee lives, government, and society that occurred as the new United States formed and developed in the late 1700s and early 1800s resulted in the formation of a Cherokee Republic by the 1820s. Yet, more changes were on the horizon culminating in the Cherokee’s forced removal to Indian territory west of the Mississippi River.

Dr. Alice Taylor-Colbert earned Masters’ and Ph.D. degrees in American Studies from Emory University. Her focus is on Southern and Cherokee Studies. She is an Adviser to the Georgia Trail of Tears Organization and a past President of the Georgia Association of Historians.

T The Southern Campaigns of the Revolutionary War In high school when studying the Revolutionary War, we all learned about the famous battles in the east in places like Boston, New York, and Trenton. However, much of the war was fought in the South where patriot victories at Kings Mountain and Cowpens proved decisive, driving the British to hole up in Charles Town until evacuating in 1782.

Join historian Lee Wilmerding as he recounts the fascinating story of the Southern campaign during America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

T The Words of Thomas Sowell Thomas Sowell is one of the great social theorists of our age.

In a career spanning more than a half century few scholars have matched his range and accessibility. He has written more than 45 books, covering topics from economic history and social inequality to political philosophy and race. In all his work, Sowell would strive to prove that "facts and evidence matter.”

Sowell's bold and unsentimental assaults on liberal orthodoxy have endeared him to many but enraged most of his fellow intellectuals, the civil-rights establishment, and many in the liberal media. As a result, critics advocating political correctness and wokeness have demeaned or ignored his important contributions.

In 2011 Dan Regenold founded EmpowerUAmerica.org, a free university offered in the Greater Cincinnati area with the goal of empowering citizens.

Wednesdays T The Origins of the “Cold War” Except for a brief period during World War II when the United States and the Soviet Union were allied against a common enemy in Nazi Germany, the relationship between the two countries was one of mutual hostility and suspicion. This relationship, dubbed ''The Cold War '' by perennial presidential advisor Bernard Baruch, lasted from the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989. Some would argue that it continues to the present with the United States and the Soviet Union's truncated successor, the Russian Federation.

October 7: Early Reactions — Who were these dedicated revolutionaries Lenin, Stalin and Trotsky who were able to seize control of the Russian Empire, one sixth of earth's land mass? What was the reaction of the West in general and the United States in particular to this most transformative event since the French Revolution?

United States participation in the Allied intervention in Russia's civil war will be discussed along with our policy of ''non recognition,'' immigration restrictions from Eastern Europe, the ''Red Scare'' of the early twenties, and the Palmer raids targeting suspected socialists, anarchists, and communists.

October 14: After the War — What steps did the United States take to halt the spread of communism after World War ll. What agreements did FDR make with Stalin at Yalta and Potsdam when their two nations were allied in the !ght against Germany. Did Stalin renege on these wartime promises? What was the Truman Doctrine and the policy of “containment?'' We will discuss the Marshall Plan to rebuild a devastated Western Europe, the creation of NATO as a counterweight to the Soviet military threat, and the height of the hysteria, the McCarthy hearings.

Wednesdays T Deceived: A Panoramic View of Play Production Go behind the scenes with the artistic team of Deceived, a gripping stage adaptation of the Oscarwinning psychological 1944 thriller Gaslight. This dynamic, interactive class invites lifelong learners to explore not only how a team of artists brings a script to life, but how a story evolves across time, genre, and medium.

Participants will examine the journey from screen to stage, unpacking how a cinematic psychological thriller becomes a live theatrical experience. Through discussion and comparison, we’ll explore how artists honor the original while reimagining it for contemporary audiences, and what choices make a story feel both timely and timeless. Gain insight into the artistic decisions that shape adaptation and production.

All participants will receive a discount code to attend a Lean Ensemble performance of the show later in the month and are encouraged to attend a talk back following selected performances to continue the conversation.

Whitaker Gannon is Associate Artistic Director of Lean Ensemble Theater and a Professional Theater Director.

14 Wednesdays

Thursdays T Our Constitution in Action How was the Constitution intended to operate? How do its text, structure, and principles shape real government behavior, institutional interaction, and the lived experience of constitution governance as a functioning system? Do the words still matter as federal courts and the Supreme Court of the United States interpret and activate theory in real time?

October 8: What Is a Constitution? Our founding fathers saw the creation of a constitution as a way of resolving political con#icts while structuring a classic republican government in accord with the Enlightenment Philosophies of Locke, Montesquieu, and Hume. They attempted to connect history, doctrine, theory of governance, common law, and a higher law as they understood it. A tall order indeed!

October 15: Congressional Powers — Article 1 establishes the Senate and the House and the way they will be elected. Among the powers granted are the ability to levy taxes and borrow money, declare war, create immigration laws, and impeach Federal officials. Congress and the Executive branch are currently at odds on a number of these issues.

October 22: Executive Power and Administrative Law — Article II establishes the executive branch and the office of the President. It outlines the President’s powers and duties, including enforcing laws, serving as commander in chief, negotiating treaties, appointing federal officials and judges, and conducting foreign policy.

Article III establishes the judicial branch. It creates the Supreme Court and allows Congress to establish lower federal courts. Each branch has clearly de!ned areas of authority, but it is easy to see there may be overlaps and con#icts.

October 29: War Powers and National Security — The War Powers Act of 1973 places certain limitations on the President’s ability to involve the U.S. in armed con#ict. Presidents of both parties have often argued that the law unconstitutionally limits executive authority, and debates over its enforcement continue today. Recent congressional debates over military action in Iran have again highlighted tensions between presidential and congressional war powers.

Elliott Good has 45 years of experience as a securities trial lawyer representing the industry's largest financial services companies and regulatory compliance agencies.

Thursdays T The Importance of U.S.-Saudi Relations Join Les Janka in a quick survey of the history of our sometimes fraught relationship with Saudi Arabia.

U.S.–Saudi relations center on energy security, regional stability, counterterrorism, and military cooperation. Since the 1940s, Saudi Arabia has been a key American ally in the Middle East, despite disagreements over human rights and regional con#icts.

As the world’s largest oil exporter and home to Islam’s two holiest cities, Saudi Arabia holds enormous economic, political, and religious in#uence. The kingdom also plays a major role in Arab diplomacy, Gulf security, and e"orts to balance Iranian power in the region.

Before retirement Les Janka lived and worked in Riyadh as President of Raytheon Arabian Systems Company. Prior to joining Raytheon, Mr. Janka distinguished himself as an international affairs expert during a 40-year career as a government relations consultant, including a stint as Special Assistant to the President.
