Do moderates even exist in today's bifurcated political landscape? Today, we examine the ideals of centrism and learn about some of history's notable moderates. Then, we celebrate National Winnie the Pooh Day by remembering the morale-boosting bear of World War I who inspired the world-famous cartoon character. Finally, this week's Local Listen features folk-rock duo The Blackbird Revue.
The National World War I Museum and Memorial will host the family-friendly craft session and story time, "Winnie: The True Story of the Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh," in the J.C. Nichols Auditorium lobby at 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 21. For more information, visit TheWorldWar.org.
David S. Brown will discuss his book, 'Moderates: The Vital Center of American Politics from the Founding to Today,' and the role of moderates throughout history at the Kansas City Library's Central Library at 2 p.m. on Sunday, January 22. To RSVP, go to KCLibrary.org.
