About this Event
FEED YOUR FACE - WHILE WE FEED YOUR BRAIN!
The Bell is excited to offer a series of lunches and lectures to senior citizens, 55 and over. Once a month a lively lecture will be given by a local speaker (on a wide range of topics) to be followed by a light lunch, a sandwich, drink, and cookies. We’ve set the price for this at an affordable $7.00, so that as many people can take advantage of this entertaining opportunity- ‘To Lunch and to Learn’.
Our speaker is author, Michael Steiner.
His topic, Two Powerhouses in Chicago’s Black Renaissance is a fascinating look at the groundbreaking poetry of Langston Hughes and the equally powerful photography of Gordon Parks. We’ll look at both of their contributions to the Black Renaissance of the 1930’s and 40’s and their renewed relevance today.
After teaching American Studies for forty years at California State University, Michael Steiner has moved to Easton along with his longtime partner, Lucy, to live near their children and grandchildren.
He has been a Fullbright Scholar in Hungry and Poland and has published five books and more than thirty articles on subjects ranging from Walt Disney’s vision of the mythic West to novelist Richard Wright’s love- hate relationship with Chicago.
