The spring semester will include a class taught by Ray Smock, “Styles of African American Leadership,” that will examine the rise of leaders within institutions and movements in the 19th and 20th centuries. Another class will explore the music and lyrics of Nobel Prize for Literature winner, singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. There is also a course on horses that will examine the rich history of equine sports in the local area, including dressage, polo and steeplechase.
