May 12 Meeting - Dr. Rigali
Our guest speaker for the May 12 alumni association meeting is Professor James Rigali, the new co-instructor for the Genealogy & Family History Program.
James Rigali has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Washington, with a specialization in nineteenth century U.S. history. He has taught courses at the University of Washington, Pacific Lutheran University and North Seattle Community College, on such topics as colonial American history, African American history, and the history of Sports in America. He is currently teaching a class on "The Sixties in America" at the University of Washington.
Dr. Rigali has selected the "Election of 1824" as his lecture topic. It is one of three presidential elections that ended without a clear victory and, therefore, was decided in the House of Representatives. It is a fascinating and colorful story and at the same time it provides an opportunity to discuss what the Founding Fathers thought about presidential politics, political parties and the electoral college. It will also provide some perspective on the current state of our national politics as well as how Americans choose their presidents.
Dr. Rigali will be joining us for lunch which will give us an excellent opportunity for more casual conversation.
Please make every effort to attend this meeting!
