CALENDAR OF EVENTS
Osher Institute – Remembering
Vietnam
10 a.m., Wednesdays, May 17-June 14
A half century ago, the United States
embarked on a military campaign that
began with broad support, but within
a few years became widely and wildly
unpopular. The Vietnam War has been
well-documented by historians and
journalists. It has also been chronicled
by some of its participants, novelists,
musicians, and filmmakers. It is through
the words, lyrics, and lenses of some of
those that Vietnam will be remembered
and discussed. Using The Vietnam Reader,
compiled and edited by Pittsburgh writer
Stewart O’Nan, we will recall a war and era
that, to varying degrees , has influenced
the lives of all of us in the OLLI at Pitt
program. Osher Institute instructors are
Ken Werner and Greg Madzelonka.
