What an inspiring meeting! Our speaker was Sara Dziuk, President of Junior Achievement North . She inspired us with the work Junior Achievement is doing to show a new generation of youth the breadth of opportunities available to them so they can see and realize the potential in themselves. We are proud to have contributed to Junior Achievement as part of our service commitment this year.

Today, Dr John Mazis from Hamline University spoke about the history of Fascism. These are young movements, launched in Italy in 1919. Fascist movements says they are a new way neither right or left. Fear of difference, control of media, arbitrary judgements are part of the fascist program. Classical Fascism ended in 1945, but we can learn a lot of lessons about parts of Fascism that continue to show up all around the world today.
