February 9, 2022(1 event) Books 'n Bites - “Lincoln in the Bardo: A Novel” by George Saunders –
We meet on the second Wednesday of the month via Zoom. February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.” Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body. |

The Amache Story program shares how people created a livable community behind barbed wire by blending a short presentation and discussion with a group of survivors. February 19th, 2022 marks 80 years since President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066. This act set into motion the forced removal and incarceration of some 120,000 Japanese Americans. The Granada War Relocation Center (Amache) in southeastern Colorado was one of ten incarceration centers scattered across the country. This site was referred to by its postal name, Amache, and became the tenth-largest city in the state. Although they were unconstitutionally imprisoned residents of Amache created a community. They attended school, worked agricultural jobs around the state, and fought for their country. Today, survivors and descendants work to preserve and share this important part of our history. Since 2008 Denver University Amache Research Project has worked with the Amache community and town of Granada to conduct on site archaeological research. A panel of Amacheans will support a DU Amache Project presenter to share the history of the site and current research.
