Event Details

Time Magazine calls U.S. Highway 50 the “main street of America.” The highway extends from Maryland’s eastern shore to Sacramento and passes through Washington, D.C., Cincinnati, St. Louis, Kansas City and the heartland of America. What were the noble ideas that shaped our nation, and how have these ideas played out as we tour across the country? We are going to use highway 50 to explore America from its founding, early development, civil war, and westward expansion, to our current life together. We’ll ask ourselves, “What is America today”? Join USC Professor Emeritus David D. Marsh, Ph.D. for this 6-week course. Sponsored by Palos Verdes Library District and the USC Emeriti Center College, these classes are free and open to the public.
