Noorani will discuss his findings from the book—namely, the powerful role of culture and values in America’s immigration debate, and how a diverse range of communities are working to make America a welcoming place for long-established citizens and new arrivals alike.
What do you do when your spouse of many years has Alzheimer’s? What happens to your marriage, your family, your own sense of self as the disease robs your loved one of his or hers? Marita Golden, the critically acclaimed author of over ten books as well as anthologies, took on those questions as she began the research for The Wide Circumference of Love. What she uncovered were both the hard numbers that will impact us all and the intuitive truths about what it means to love through this challenging disease.

Tomas Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924), played by Judd Bankert, was an American academic and politician who served as the 28th President of the United States. Born in Staunton, Virginia on December 28, 1856, Wilson was raised in Georgia. Wilson graduated from Princeton University in 1879, studied law at the University of Virginia from 1879 to 1880, and did graduate work in history, economics, and political science at Johns Hopkins University, receiving his Ph.D. in 1886. While teaching at various colleges and universities, including Bryn Mawr College and Princeton, Wilson emerged as a leading political scientist, historian, and author. In 1902, he was selected to serve as President of Princeton University, a wilsonposition that he held until his resignation in 1910, when he successfully ran for Governor of New Jersey. His reputation as a reformer led to his nomination for President by the Democratic Party in 1912. During his first term from 1913 to 1917, Wilson oversaw the New Freedom program, which aimed to expand economic opportunity and encourage competition. This included the establishment of the Federal Reserve System, new antitrust legislation, the first child-labor act, federal rural credits, and the eight-hour work day for railroad workers. Shortly after a narrow reelection, Wilson initially sought to mediate the First World War, only to see his own country drawn into the conflict in April 1917. When the war ended in November 1918, Wilson helped negotiate a peace treaty that included a plan for the League of Nations, a precursor to the United Nations. However, a Republican controlled Congress led to a controversy over ratification of the treaty. While engaged on a speaking tour to rally support, Wilson suffered a debilitating stroke which left him infirm. He finished the rest of his term, relying on the assistance of his wife, Edith, who assumed some Presidential functions and delegated others to cabinet members. On February 3, 1924, at the age of sixty-seven, Woodrow Wilson died at his home in Washington, D.C. He was survived by his second wife, Edith Bolling, and his daughters: Margaret Wilson, Jessie Sayre, and Eleanor McAdoo.
William Edward Burghardt Du Bois (1868-1963), played by Bill Grimmette, was a sociologist, author, historian, and a prominent Civil Rights activist of the early twentieth century. Born on February 23, 1868 in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, Du Bois grew up in an integrated community thanks to the presence of a small, but influential free black population. Du Bois attended Fisk University, a historically black college in Nashville, Tennessee, from 1885 to 1888. After graduating from Fisk, duboisDu Bois attended and obtained two additional degrees from Harvard University – a bachelor’s in history and a Ph.D. in sociology, making him the first African American to obtain a doctorate degree from the University. In the early twentieth century, Du Bois emerged as one of the unofficial spokespersons for African Americans. In 1910, Du Bois was a co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, where he took the position of Director of Publicity and Research and served as editor of the monthly magazine, The Crisis. Du Bois used his platform to speak out against various issues, including the failure to integrate civil and non-civil service positions, a campaign promise of President Woodrow Wilson. By the mid-twentieth century, Du Bois became a dedicated Pan-Africanist and anti-war activist. On August 27, 1963 at the age of ninety-five, W.E.B. Du Bois died in Accra, Ghana. He was survived by his second wife, Shirley Graham, his daughter, Yolande Cullen, and his stepson, David Graham Du Bois.
