Dem Club: Bonnie Gilbert–The Underside of Genocide

This Friday February 8th come to the Iron Horse on Sherman Avenue.  This week’s speaker brings history to life for us with her topic of “The Underside of Genocide.”  Bonnie Gilbert is an instructor at North Idaho College and an author.  This will be an informative and enjoyable hour with good food and friends.  Bonnie Gilbert tells us why she chose history as her field of study.  “History opens new doors all the time if you go knocking.   I chose history as my academic focus years ago.  I have an MA in history and teach college history courses so I’ve been knocking on  those doors a long time.”

 Ms. Gilbert hopes to open our eyes and mind to the past,  recognize new perspectives in history and reconsider the present in new light.  History does matter.
