About The Event

The North Dakota WWI Centennial Committee has planned a series of community events leading up to the armistice ending WWI, 100-years ago November 11.  We will sponsor lectures and community discussions in six cities (more if we can find the funding) during October and the first week of November.  Susan Wefald and Darrell Dorgan will moderate each of the events.  The WWI programming is being paid for with a grant from the North Dakota Humanities Council to fund the project.   

The programs will begin with a 10-minute video presentation with an overview of WWI.  That will be followed by a 20-30-minute talk about WWI; how it began, how the US became involved, the effort on the home-front, North Dakota's participation, the impact on the world today.  That will be followed by 30 minutes of audience Q & A.
