April 8, 2008 @ 7:30 pm
Gingrich Library, main floor

  

Dr. Seuss Wants You is an original exhibit of 14 posters "created by The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education and Thomas More College honors students on the remarkable and insightful works that show an unexpected and unknown aspect of Dr. Seuss. Teaching us how to think during WWII, he put in America's face issues that we were ignoring: our own isolationism, racism, antisemitism, and willingness to appease. Typical Seuss characters teach us about the courage to care and to act in his thought-provoking cartoons. Full of life's lessons for the entire family."

The exhibit is available for viewing in the Gingrich Library from April 1 until April 30. The presentation by Dr. Gerald Ronning at 7:30 pm on April 8 is an Experience Event.

More information about the exhibit is available at the Center for Holocaust Humanity Education site.
