1850s America: Road to the Civil War Online Lecture – Champion Public Library
Join Champion Public Library at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, May 19th for our next online lecture to celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with “1850s America — Road to the Civil War”.
During one of the most turbulent periods in American history, the 1850s saw the nation increasingly divided by the clash over slavery and the pressures of westward expansion. Landmark events — from the Dred Scott decision and the Kansas-Nebraska Act to John Brown’s raid — silenced moderates and emboldened extremists. Join Brian Altobello as he unpacks how this critical decade paved the way for Abraham Lincoln’s 1860 election, sparking secession and setting the stage for a nation plunged into Civil War. This event is free and open to adults, ages 18 and up; however, signing up is encouraged. This Zoom lecture event is sponsored by Road Scholar.
Brian Altobello is a native of New Orleans with a master’s in U.S. history and three decades of experience teaching at the high school level. Altobello is a U.S. Army veteran and author of three books, the latest of which is “Whiskey, Women, and War: How the Great War Shaped Jim Crow New Orleans,” published by the University Press of Mississippi. Altobello regularly delivers talks on New Orleans history to Road Scholar groups visiting New Orleans and on Mississippi River paddle wheeler cruise lines.
This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Oklahoma Department of Libraries.

Book Club – Healdton Community Library
Join others at the Healdton Community Library for a monthly book club on Monday, May 18th at 5:30 PM. Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. This month’s book selection is “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Weir.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a critical mission to save humanity, but he awakens with no memory of his name, assignment, or how to complete it. Alone in a tiny ship millions of miles from home, he faces an impossible scientific mystery and an extinction-level threat. With no one to help and time running out, Ryland must figure it all out on his own—or does he?
Participants are encouraged to check out the book by visiting the Healdton Community Library at 554 South 4th Street in Healdton or call (580) 229-0590. The Healdton Community Library is a branch of the Southern Oklahoma Library System.
