COMING EVENTS

 PALM HARBOR MUSEUM PRESENTS on Wed., Oct 4 at 6:30 PM
GARY R. MORMINO, PhD:  DREAMS IN THE NEW CENTURY

Picture
Palm Harbor Museum Presents on Wednesday, October 4th at 6:30 PM at Palm Harbor Library features Florida Studies professor emeritus and historian Gary Mormino, PhD , with his most recent volume, Dreams in the New Century: Instant Cities, Shattered Hopes, and Florida’s Turning Point, which sheds insight on the first decade of the 21st century in Florida and its connections to some of the most significant events in contemporary American history. That period continues to reverberate through our national politics and social fabric as a result of the social, cultural, and political polarization that developed during that decade of monumental and historic change. Mormino notes that “Florida is America’s touchstone. Commentators and writers turn to Florida to observe trends in immigration and migration, the failures and successes of the Democratic and Republican parties, trends in old age, and book bans in schools." He also comments that "Florida faces some speedbumps and hurdles ahead. As a state with 825 miles of coastline, we face the greatest challenge in global warming and sea level rise.”
