This year, our first speaker is Dr. Daniel Gifford, author and public historian, who will lay the foundation for the series with a talk on his new book, "Benefactors of Posterity: The Founding Era of the Filson Historical Society 1884-1899".

The Filson Historical Society dedicates a variety of resources to enhance adult education through the preservation of the significant history and culture of the Kentucky and Ohio Valley area. Gifford’s book and presentation will discuss the triumphs and pitfalls it has faced since its foundation in 1884.

A friend and fan favorite, J.T. Townsend, is sending off this year’s Spotlight Series with an eerie presentation on the Cincinnati Strangler. Cincinnati is beloved by many and has many aspects that natives and visitors alike cannot get enough of; however, 1960s Cincinnati had a force of evil that tormented the older women who lived there.

Townsend is no stranger to investigating the dark side of history, and his captivating and engaging presentation will bring people back in time to this culturally and historically significant moment.

Race and Racism in Cincinnati, a 3-part docuseries, is the telling of Cincinnati’s history from the racial margins, a history that is not often told in school curriculums or in mainstream (white) culture.

This video series shares a people’s history that places storytelling authority in the hands of common people, rather than political leaders or other figures of power who have crafted narratives to benefit their agendas.

This series features three separate hour-long videos that each tackle a different time span, starting from Cincinnati’s birth and bringing us to the present day. Each viewing will be followed by a facilitated discussion session.

An educational program for voters who may have questions about the Cincinnati Public Schools' renewal levy on the November ballot: What does the levy pay for and what will happen if it fails?

A panel will address these and other topics: Shauna Murphy, CPS Superintendent; Chara Jackson, CEO, Preschool Promise; Senator Louis Blessing; and Emily Chesnut, Honesty for Public Education and Milford school board member.
