FULTON, Mo. (AP) - A small mid-Missouri college is preparing to celebrate the 75th anniversary of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech in which he warned of the former Soviet Union’s expansion of communism, ushering in the era of the Cold War.
COVID-19 restrictions are forcing the commemoration on Friday at Westminster College in Fulton to be virtual. A highlight will include a panel discussion of historians, authors and other notable figures led by Washington Post columnist George Will. Plans include the debut of a documentary and a new virtual exhibit from America’s National Churchill Museum at Westminster.
