You are cordially invited to join the folks at the Erie Canal Museum for Stories of Working People, a free reading and discussion program sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities.
The six-week program begins next Tuesday, March 24 and will be held at the Museum, 318 Erie Boulevard East, Syracuse. Sessions are scheduled for 6:00-7:30 p.m. on various Tuesdays through June 2. Parking is available in nearby lots and is free on the street near the Museum at that time.
The relationship between what we do and who we are will be explored through a variety of texts by and about working people. Readings will include short stories, poems, historical accounts and novels. Some of the texts include Babbitt, the classic novel by Sinclair Lewis; Studs Terkel’s Working: A Graphic Adaptation by Harvey Pekar and Philip Levine’s poem What Work Is. The Humanities Council generously provided a quantity of books for loan or jump start and get them at your local library.
Sign up by Friday, March 20. For more information email dan@eriecanalmuseum.org or call (315) 471-0593, ext. 15.
