EXPERIENCES OF FAMILY IN MAINE, 1900 TO THE PRESENT
This past winter members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at
the University of Southern Maine in Portland attended a series of three
lectures by the scholars of the Jean Byers Sampson Center for Diversity
in Maine. The lectures examined the experiences of families in the African
American, Jewish, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender communities
in Maine.
Students were provided with a published catalog and got to view an
exhibition based on the lectures. Topics included:
Migration, Mortality, and Maturation: Three African American Families
of Bangor and Portland
If Not Jerusalem, Then at Least “The Jerusalem of the North:”
Continuity and Discontinuity in Three Portland Jewish Families
Ozzie and Harriet, Same-Sex Marriage, and the Culture Wars: LGBT
Families in Maine, 1960 to the Present.
