The Progressives - A Very American Political Movement: Virtually at 10 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 7, through the North Shore Senior Center, Northfield. Rooted in the post-Civil War agitation for the rights of women and former slaves, Progressivism changed the course of American politics. Today, it struggles to do so once again. The original progressive movement came of age with the nation. As "Gilded Age" America of the late 19th and early 20th centuries took its economic, cultural and military place on the world stage, the rich did indeed get enormously richer, while the poor grew ever poorer and more numerous. Inevitably a countervailing ethos, progressivism, began to gather energy and influence. The movement sowed the seeds of the New Deal, and then it faded. Today, progressivism is back. $52-$65. nssc.augusoft.net.
