SUMMARY:Pabst Mansion Presents: Barons\, Brewers\, and Milwaukee Society
DESCRIPTION:This talk is the first in our new virtual program series\, Pabst Mansion Presents! \nThe rapid expansion of Milwaukee’s breweries in the decades after the Civil War brought prosperity to the owners of the great shipping breweries and steady work to their employees. Both groups contributed to the development of Milwaukee’s economy and society. However\, Milwaukee’s breweries were not immune from the labor disputes that afflicted other businesses in the Cream City and throughout the nation. \nJoin Doug Hoverson\, author of The Drink that Made Wisconsin Famous: Beer and Brewing in the Badger State\, as he discusses the rise of Milwaukee beer to worldwide fame and some of the growing pains that accompanied that expansion in the period from 1870-1910. \nJoin us on the Mansion’s Facebook Live to watch in real time!  Donations are encouraged: https://www.pabstmansion.com/support/donate-(1)

SUMMARY:Diversity Education - The History of Structural Racism
DESCRIPTION:Learn how the history of slavery still impacts society in the present day. Too often we ask the “how “and not the “why.” \nPlease join me as I teach the history of how the United States government has legalized discrimination which in turn has handicapped the black and brown communities. In order for us to repair the wrongs of history we must fully understand the ugly truth. Truth brings knowledge\, knowledge brings power\, and power offers change. Some of the topics we will be discussing on this webinar is: classism\, unconscious bias\, self-fulfilling prophecy\, and the power representation. When addressing Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, slavery is page one chapter one. Look forward to an engaging conversation\, please bring all and any questions. Thank you! \nTickets will be $7. This will be a virtual online session. For payment please use the PayPal link. You will be emailed the zoom link for this session Thursday morning (1/21). If you do not receive that link by then\, you can email gus@gsmdiversity.com.
