We invite you to the GAHC for two intriguing programs this weekend. We hope you will join us!
Join GAHC's roundtable discussion on the Berlin Wall, 25 years after its fall. Members Michael Hustedde and Nick Pitz lead the panel discussion for anyone who experienced the wall, the fall, and the aftermath. Participation encouraged!
This program is part of our exhibition "Berlin: Divided Past/United Future" that is open now through November 9, the 25th anniversary to the day of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The "Forty-eighters" were a relatively small number of individuals who emigrated from Europe in the late 1840s and early 1850s after fighting unsuccessfully with both pen and sword for liberty, democracy, and national unity. Many of the German Forty-eighters immigrated to the United States, with a large number from the present-day state of Schleswig-Holstein choosing Davenport & Scott County, Iowa as their adopted home. After settling in America, these unique and talented individuals provided an intellectual transfusion affecting not only their fellow German immigrants, but also the political and social history of the United States during one of its most critical periods. -http://yogireppmann.
Dr. Reppmann will deliver a lively talk on this interesting group, focusing in on some of the famous 48ers from Davenport including Christian Müller!
