The Trail of Tears was just one of several moments of displacement & removal of Native Americans from their ancestral lands and is commemorated on September 16th.

A slightly delayed Memorial Monday but there are a few passings of note. Graham Greene (the actor), designer Giorgio Armani, & Katharine, Duchess of Kent.

Get in nerds! We're going to the library!

The Quincy Public Library had the opportunity to borrow a trunk filled with virtual reality equipment from the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Skokie, Illinois. This was available for two weeks, on a reservation basis.

A couple of big names from the arts have passed away - Greg Iles & Terence Stamp. They aren't names you would naturally put together. One is American, while the other is British. One is an actor & one is an author. But both made large contributions to their fields.

Last week was definitely one where things came in threes. Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, & Hulk Hogan all passed away within the span of just a few days.

Did you know that July is Anti-Boredom Month? Kind of perfect for the middle of summer!!

This happens to be a somewhat film focused Memorial Monday. Last week saw the passing of both Julian McMahon & Michael Madsen.

Pride month is the descendant of the Stonewall Uprising, at least a spiritual descendant.
