Speakers Bureau 2007-2008
How did the Scots save civilization? Why did Kentuckians hate General Stephen Burbridge, not to mention their own native son, Abraham Lincoln? What were the Crusades really about? Who invented West Kentucky thumbpicking? Why did Margaret Garner slit her little daughter Mary’s throat?
These are just a few of the really intriguing questions that the speakers in this year’s Whole Humanities Catalog will answer. Some are new and some are not—it’s our classic blend of fascinating fresh topics with established favorites. Enjoy it, and thank you for 22 years of support!
Throughout the listings you’ll see NEW HARMONIES logos.  They indicate talks that complement New Harmonies: American Roots Music, a Smithsonian exhibit on American musical traditions that begins a nine-month run in the state in March, 2008. New Harmonies will visit Paintsville, Henderson, Maysville, Shepherdsville, Winchester, and Covington.
You’ll also find LINCOLN logos  in the Speakers and Chautauqua sections. They indicate talks that are related to the life and times of Kentucky’s greatest son, the sixteenth president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. He was born in Larue County in 1809, and the celebration of his 200th birthday will begin in 2008.
