Join Rachel Waltner Goossen, an associate professor of History at
Washburn University as she presents a program on how World War II
altered many lives, sending a generation of men and women across the
state and overseas. The stories of nurses, pilots, chaplains, welders,
and musicians provide a window into Kansans’ journeys to pacifist
communities, factories, hospitals, and military service. This
presentation focuses on oral histories of 1940s-era Kansans, as well as
the journeys of present-day students who collected these stories. This
program sponsored by The Kansas Humanities Council, Library District # 1
and Doniphan County Historical Society. Light refreshments will be
served.
