A lecture will be presented by Dr. Harriet Davis-Kram tomorrow afternoon, as part of the Learning in Retirement at Iona College series.
The topic will be on the little known facts of Victorian History in America. It will be one the Speakers in the Humanities lectures, which is a program of the New York Council for the Humanities and is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Most likely, the Council has been using poster printing throughout the community to let the general public become aware of the event.
Dr. Davis-Kram has been at Queens College as a professor of American history for the past 20 years and teaches courses in immigration, the history of women in America, American Labor history, the city of New York’s past.
The Speakers in the Humanities program was launched in 1983 and has presented lectures on a broad range of topics by many distinguished scholars. The program provides scholarship in the humanities to hundreds of community groups and organizations, covering thousands of people across the state of New York.
The New York Council for the Humanities is a non-profit organization, associated with the National Endowment for the Humanities. Its goal is to ensure that humanities are part of the cultural and intellectual life of the people in New York State.
The lecture will be held tomorrow, May 2, at 1:00 pm at Iona College in New Rochelle
