Waukesha Public Library, Carnegie Room

Come to discuss early gay history in Wisconsin. Throughout the decades, gay Wisconsinites developed identities, created support networks, and found ways to thrive despite various forms of suppression. The founder of LGBT Waukesha will be joining us to add insight to the conversation. Everyone is welcome!

 

Unearth the inspiring, untold stories of 12 ordinary citizens who did extraordinary things and helped shape the fate of our nation. Dr. Abigail Markwyn, Professor of History at Carroll University, will join the conversation to share a historical perspective.  

Dig into the award-winning debut thriller in the Peter Ash series, in which a veteran discovers that the demons of war aren’t easily left behind. Joining us will be Patricia Clason, founder of Healing Warrior Hearts, who will share how her organization helps veterans and their families heal the emotional, moral, and spiritual wounds of military service.
