episode 4 - Remembering WWI: From visual to audio, the Sandwich myth, and a silent living memorial11/28/2018 November 11, 2018 marked the centenary of the ending of WWI. Students Traci Henning-Kolberg and Hannah Smith discuss the ways in which certain events of World War I are remembered. WARNING: The first 40 seconds of this recording is a recreation of the guns being fired at the end of WWI. We understand that for some listeners, this may be a sound they wish to avoid. We also introduce a new segment, Polling the Profs. Traci and Hannah read impressions of WWI from professors in Purdue University Fort Wayne's History Department.

The poppy exhibit is just absolutely stunning as a public art project. The poppies, associated with the commemoration of WWI for a very long time have gotten a makeover. There is also another really interesting project that just launched last weekend: Watch: Haunting Image of World War One Soldier Appears on Northern Ireland Beach"

How does the combination of LSD, a group of musicians, and a wealthy engineer help create one of the greatest jam bands of all time? History major, Hannah Smith, shares her research on this topic with our interviewer, Traci Henning-Kolberg. Hannah performed this research while writing a paper for Professor David G. Schuster's class, The 60's. For more information on Public History, look into The National Council of Public History (NCPH), which was enthusiastically mentioned on this episode.
