Upcoming Program: REM, Gen X, and Public History
Join Laura A. Macaluso for Out of Time: REM, Gen X, and Public History on Sunday, September 12, at 7:00 pm Eastern. This virtual gathering is an opportunity for Gen X public historians to connect and reflect on our unique place in American society. Despite the power of music exemplified by the Indie band from Athens turned pop star powerhouses that is REM, Gen X is the smallest generation in modern history, and often marginalized from conversations in the media and in politics. Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry will be in the room with us, figuratively and musically, as we consider our place in society. Anyone with work experience or interest in public history from this generation is welcome to attend (born 1965-1980). Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, Millennials/Gen Y, and Gen Z need not apply. Even if they like REM.
