I am pleased to speak at the New Castle Court House Museum on August 6, 2024, at 7 p.m. about the history of temperance and prohibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talk, part of the museum\u2019s annual \u201cHistory Revival\u201d summer series, examines the historical attempts to regulate alcohol consumption over the centuries, with an emphasis on Prohibition. During the lecture, we will delve into compelling stories of rumrunners, moonshiners, bathtub gin, Coast Guard rum patrols, and the intriguing personalities that emerged during this era. We will also navigate the intricate landscape of Garden State politics, organized crime, and the influential role of the Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPass the Rum\u201d is made possible in part by Delaware Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities: Democracy demands wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
