| The Wizard of Oz (A Parable on Populism) | 10:00 am - 11:30 am | Optivation - Adventures in Lifelong Learning | ||
Before retiring in 1995, Art Lee was twice chosen as the Outstanding Lecturer of the Year. His major area of interest was the turn-of-the-20th century US. These days, the word Populist has become so difficult to define that it's unclear if the label is a compliment or a criticism. Major Populist events in US history began with formation of the Populist Party in 1892, a political party made up primarily of northern plains and southern farmers. One who lived among this fervent Populism (in Aberdeen, SD—not Kansas!) was L. Frank Baum, who wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900. As he saw it, the Land of Oz was (is?) Washington, DC, and the Great Oz was the President, the Scarecrow represented farmers, and the Munchkins? Have you ever felt like a Munchkin?
