The History Club at FSML will be restarting our popular in- person programs on Tuesday, July 13, 2021.  (1 pm in the Sports Lounge ) To pay tribute to the upcoming Olympic Games, scheduled to take place in Tokyo this summer, we have selected as our first post Covid program the biopic film " Race ". Our moderator will be Larry Rosendorf.
 
"Race"  is the remarkable story of Jesse Owens and his quest to become the greatest track and field star in history, as he takes the world stage in the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin ( Nazi Germany ) against the backdrop of Hitler's vision of Aryan supremacy.
 
Join us to watch ,  and then discuss the film,  as well as other stories of the 1936 Olympics and the upcoming Tokyo Games. Also; hear about plans for our other upcoming History Club programs and trips. As always , the History Club is free of charge and open to all of FSML.
