SUMMARY:Black Suffragists - the Untold Story (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to attend our FREE online presentation. \n\n\n\nThe Lawrence County Historical Society is combining February’s Black History Month and March’s Women’s History Month in this exclusive online program. \n\n\n\nOn March 10 at 7 P.M.\, Jean Speight\, a local historian\, will share the history of some of the Black women who played important roles in the suffragist movement whose names are not mentioned in history books.

SUMMARY:Lawrence County Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Lawrence County Historical Society\, 408 North Jefferson St.\, New Castle\, on Tuesday\, May 14 at 7 pm when Zenaida Bench will present a program about the history of the Lawrence County Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration and its founder’s \, Mother Alexandra’s history. This program is free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nLocated just outside Ellwood City in Wayne Township\, the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration is a monastery for women under the jurisdiction of The Orthodox Church in America. It was founded in 1967 by Mother Alexandra (the former Princess Ileana of Romania) whose dream it was to provide a place where American Orthodox women from all ethnic backgrounds could come to live the monastic life and benefit from a liturgical cycle in English. Since that time\, her vision has been fulfilled. The nuns\, many of whom are converts to Orthodoxy\, as well as the monastery’s many visitors\, span a variety of backgrounds. \n\n\n\nMother Alexandra\n\n\n\n Princess Ileana\, the youngest daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Marie\, was born in Bucharest\, Romania in 1909. During her childhood\, she lived through the harsh realities of World War I. With her mother and sisters\, she would visit the soldiers in the hospitals and on troop trains\, praying with them. She also helped the Red Cross as an interpreter. In 1947\, she with her whole family\, was exiled from Romania by the Communists\, being told they could leave the country with whatever they could carry or be confined in a monastery until they were executed. They lived in Switzerland and then came the United States. \n\n\n\nIn 1964\, the property in Wayne Township\, PA\, was purchased\, and in 1967\, after Sister Ileana was tonsured into monastic life as Mother Alexandra\, she established the Orthodox Monastery of the Transfiguration. She lived to see Communism fall in Romania in 1989\, and was able to make a return visit to her homeland in 1990. Mother Alexandra died on January 21\, 1991 and is buried in the monastery cemetery. \n\n\n\nOUR PRESENTER: Zenaida Bench\, became an Eastern Orthodox Christian in 1991. After visiting the Monastery at that time\, she visited every year\, often introducing “this peaceful and holy place to friends.” In 1993\, she earned an MA in Theology at the Ecumenical Institute in Baltimore\, MD. The following year she became the assistant to the Dean and the director of admissions there. Retiring in 2017\, she moved to Ellwood City where she now resides at the monastery as the resident volunteer assistant to the Abbess. \n\n\n\n\nDoes this sound interesting? Share with your friends!

SUMMARY:Back in the Day: Growing up in the Fifties
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 13 @ 7 pm for a nostalgic evening of the 1950’s \n\n\n\nThe Lawrence County Historical Society will present a program on March 13 at 7 p.m. about growing up in the fifties in New Castle. \n\n\n\n“Back in the Day: Growing up in the Fifties” is the title of Lou Palumbo’s latest book which takes one back in time to an era of a bustling downtown\, stay-at-home moms\, and playing with friends without the help of video games and cell phones. The program will bring back memories of everything from the milk man\, carnivals\, drive-in-theaters\, to collecting toy trains. \n\n\n\nPalumbo is the owner of the Underground Railroad Shoppe on Wilmington Road. Since collecting trains from a young age\, he decided to open his store in 1985. It is full of vintage and new trains\, everything needed for layouts and collections\, and a beautiful O gauge train layout in a large back room which is open to the public from November to January. He writes a monthly column called “Views from the Underground” for “Classic Toy Trains” magazine. \n\n\n\nThis nostalgic evening is free and open to the public. His latest book about growing up in the fifties along with his first book\, “I’ve Never Met a Train I Didn’t Like\,” will be available that evening for purchase. \n\n\n\nThe Historical Society is located at 408 N.

SUMMARY:Larry Pugh: Black History in America 1620 to Present
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, February 13 at 7:00 pm for our FREE program “Larry Pugh: Black History in America 1620 to Present”\n\n\n\nMost of the 10.5 million slaves who landed in North America came from Central and South America\, not from Africa. In fact\, about 380\,000 slaves came by boat from Africa to North America. Pugh will give facts and figures about the Black experience here from 1600 to current times. He will speak of the long struggle of Blacks in America. \n\n\n\n“For over 200 years Blacks in America were not allowed to learn to read. Many could read and write in their native languages.” – Larry Pugh \n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter \n\n\n\nLarry Pugh graduated from Westminster College with a degree in history and a minor in science in 1965. Three of the four Pugh siblings graduated from Westminster. His mother\, Bessie Pugh\, brought her children here from Georgia where the school they attended only went through eighth grade. He received a Master’s degree from Howard University in European history in 1967. He attended Howard University because he wanted the Black Experience as there were only two Black students attending Westminster at the time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLarry was a football All-American three years at Westminster. He was drafted by the Cleveland Browns where his football career ended due to injuries. He was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in South Bend\, Indiana in 1998\, the second year small college athletes were admitted. He is the only Lawrence County athlete ever inducted in the Football College Hall of Fame. \n\n\n\nPugh taught at New Castle for 32 years\, first at West Side\, then Ben Franklin\, and finally at the high school where he retired in 1998. After retirement\, he ran the Fatherhood program for Children’s Advocacy Center from 2010-2017. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nDoes this sound interesting? Share with your friends!
