The American History Group has now been running since 2019 and began with a series of presentations of the major milestones of American history, from the pre-Colombian era to its emergence after World War II as leader of the free world.
We have now moved on to a more general survey of ‘the American Way’, looking at various aspects of the nation’s politics, culture and society both past and present. Meetings take the form of illustrated talks, given by group members, and are followed by discussion and tea-and-buns.
New members are very welcome. You do not need any special knowledge of the USA – only a lively interest in what makes this powerful and extraordinarily successful nation tick, as well as how did it get from there to here and what of its future.
Meets:
3rd Tuesday of the month from 14:00 to 16:00
Venue:
Quaker Meeting House
