LOS ANGELES—All are invited to listen and learn at this series of free, public, spoken word presentations. Students who have interviewed California Veterans/ Servicemembers in “Making History Come Alive” meet-up events will share what they wrote – what surprised them, touched them, what they related to, what broke stereotypes, or simply what stories and experiences they wanted to record and honor, individual and collective history that might be lost if not for their documentary efforts and care.
This event is a wonderful lead-up to 4th of July celebrations in focusing on those who fight for our freedoms and democracy. Time for refreshments and conversation follows the formal presentations. This event is appropriate for young people as the students involved in the project were between the ages of 9 and 18.
