Jefferson Educational Society
Featuring Annette Franklin, Ph.D.
A public health concern regarding mental health re-emerged during and continued after the 2020 Covid Pandemic for all ages – early childhood to the elderly. Many individuals find it difficult to openly discuss what might be considered a personal topic fearing being judged or ostracized. This session will be an opportunity to gain some understanding of why the stigma of mental health continues to prevent individuals from seeking professional and/or medical support to address unexplained emotions that interfere with daily activities.

7 - 8:30 p.m.
Jefferson Educational Society
Featuring Distinguished Visiting Speaker
Paul V. Turner, Ph.D.
How did Frank Lloyd Wright's San Francisco field office, established with his protégé, Aaron Green in 1951, travel from its rented second-floor San Francisco building to Erie, Pennsylvania? Renowned Wright expert, Dr. Paul Turner, will describe the office's 30-year journey through a sale to Tom Monaghan, of Domino's; its exhibit (behind glass) in the Heinz Architectural Center/Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh; storage in warehouses; a purchase by James Sandoro, for his Buffalo Transportation Pierce-Arrow Museum; and a sale to Tom Hagen, for Erie's Hagen History Center, where the museum constructed a building around the legendary office that patrons walk through every day.
This lecture is in partnership with the Hagen History Center.
