SUMMARY:Experiencing World War I: America During the Great War
LOCATION:776
DESCRIPTION:<h1>World War I and it's Effects on America</h1><p>The A.K. Smiley Public L
 ibrary commemoration of the Great War continues with "Experiencing World Wa
 r I: America During the Great War", a special presentation by renowned Worl
 d War I historian Jennifer Keene on Saturday, November 3rd at 1pm in the Li
 brary Assembly Room.</p><p>Most Americans possess only a hazy understanding
  of World War I or its significance for the United States. So why not leave
  it there? Why bother with this history lesson? How the nation responded to
  the challenge of fighting its first modern war re-made America, leading to
  female suffrage, the modern civil rights movement, the drive to protect ci
 vil liberties, new conceptions of military service, and an expanded role fo
 r the United States in the world.</p><p>This lecture examines home-front mo
 bilization and the experiences of soldiers on the battlefield, while also c
 onsidering how the war affected women, immigrants, and African Americans. I
 n the inter-war period, Americans tried to learn lessons‚ from the Great Wa
 r in unexpected ways, revealing additional ways that the war continued to i
 mpact American society.&nbsp;</p><p>This program is free and open to the pu
 blic. Registration is requested, but not required.</p>
