This two-part presentation (Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 8:00 pm EST and Sunday, December 17, 2023 at 2:00 pm EST) will recount the fascinating story of South Africa, from its humble beginnings supplying ships going to Asia to the deadly and deceitful events of the Anglo-Boer War at the beginning of the 20^th Century. From the settling of the Cape Colony by the staunch Calvinist Dutch to Winston Churchill’s early career to Rudyard Kipling’s “The White Man’s Burden,” to the stoic and stubborn anti-Uitlander attitude of the Dutch Boer population – this story has it all. You will learn how John Ruskin’s, Cecil Rhodes,’ and Lord Alfred Milner’s scorched-earth “New Imperialism” set the stage for concentration camps and the racist system of apartheid in South Africa that this resilient nation is still trying to overcome in the 21^st century.

Speaker Bio: Magdalena Therrien is a retired elementary teacher, is an avid rock collector and curious pursuer of causes of historical events.
