April 8, Before Jackie: The Negro Leagues and the American Dream. By Mary Corey American History Professor at SUNY Brockport.

Before Jackie: The Negro Leagues, Civil Rights, and the American Dream is a grounded overview of the Reconstruction Era as seen and experienced by the pioneers of this strand of the civil rights struggle. It’s a history of struggles and defeats, but it’s also a history of bravery and persistence, yes, even glory!

Everyone knows Jackie Robinson’s story. Now it’s time to hear about the players, managers, and fans that built the Negro Leagues and laid out the playing field that would become Jackie’s own.

This program is offered by the Greece Historical Society in cooperation with the Greece Public Library.

Joan of Arc – the Warrior Saint
by Stephen Richey
Sunday April 27, 2:00 p.m. Greece Museum

Mr. Richey’s presentation will explore how Joan of Arc, an illiterate teenage peasant farm girl, a nobody from nowhere, achieved the seemingly impossible. In the space of a single year, 1429, she rose up from total obscurity to take command of the defeated and demoralized French army and led that army in a series of astounding battlefield victories to free her French homeland from the English invaders.

Stephen Richey was raised in Greece, graduating from Olympia High School in 1976. He graduated from the United States Military academy at West Point in 1984. He served out his military career in various places around the world, to include four tours of duty in wartime Iraq, until his retirement in 2010. He is the author of the scholarly book Joan of Arc: The Warrior Saint. He also appeared as an expert authority in the television documentary “Saint Joan of Arc: Maid for God.”
