The Waynedale News Staff

The History Center is proud to announce the presenters for the 2024-2025 George R. Mather Sunday Lecture Series. All lectures are held at 2pm at the History Center and are free to the public. All George R. Mather lectures are made possible through the generous support of the Floyd and Betty Lou Lancia Family Foundation.

The History Center will begin the George R. Mather Sunday Lecture Series on Sunday, October 6. “The 2024 Election in Context,” will be presented by Michael Wolf. This lecture will highlight how the 2024 election is unique in many dramatic ways. That said, even the dramatic shifts highlight how the strange rules of our elections actually fit this year into long-term historical trends. Tracking the change and historical consistencies of the American electorate and political parties provides an important perspective of American democracy moving forward.
