The anthem for the Civil Rights movement and a rallying cry for the Vietnam War protests, “We Shall Overcome” today is familiar around the world. Stotts’s history of the song goes back to its origins in hymns and gospel music and its roles in demonstrations against many different injustices.
Start: 7:00 pm
*THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH AT 1 P.M.*
In 1886 Alexander Ulyanov, a brilliant biology student, joined other students at St. Petersburg University to plot the assassination of Russia’s tsar. The mission failed, and its leaders, Alexander included, were executed. His younger brother, Vladimir, was deeply affected by these events and later led the October Revolution of 1917 under his revolutionary pseudonym “Lenin.”
