Speaker: Dr. Harold Mock, GCSU History Professor and Director of Leadership Programs
Topic: “Living in a Nuclear World”
A Special Message from the Museum:
Several months ago, Dr. Harold Mock accepted the OSHM’s invitation to speak at our May 2022 Sunday At The Museum lecture series. He offered several topics he might speak on, and we agreed that “Living in a Nuclear World” would likely find an interested audience. However, neither of us imagined that, in a few months, the Ukrainian people would be living in a horrific, deadly situation or that the world would be discussing the threat of nuclear attacks and/or war. Our topic is timely, sobering, and very important. Please join us.
Sandra Rosseter, OSHM Director
