My first presentation at the Chautauqua Institute in New York was in 2011. They invited me back this year for my 12th presentation (in 2015 I made two presentations but missed one year because of the Pandemic). They must be hard up for speakers.
This year I spoke about From the New Deal to a Raw Deal: The Experiences of Japanese American Farmers During World War II. One of the audience members had grandparents who were in a relocation camp during the war. It was interesting talking to him. This presentation was based on a series of Friday Footnotes I wrote in May of 2022 https://footnote.wordpress.ncsu.edu/2022/05/19/a-raw-deal-part-1-5-20-2022/
