The armed conflict between Mexico's rival drug cartels and the central government is headline news in the United States.
George W. Grayson will put Mexican-American relations into historical context and examine Mexican efforts to tackle both the demand and supply sides of the problems spawned by the wildly profitable supply route for illegal drugs making their way into the United States. Professor Grayson teaches at the College of William and Mary.

By Anna Gibson Holloway
Banner Lecture Series

Although the Union ironclad Monitor may have ended her working career in a gale off Cape Hatteras in December 1862, her story does not end there. Discovered in 1973, established as a National Marine Sanctuary in 1975, and the subject of intense recovery operations by NOAA and the U.S. Navy since then, the curious "cheesebox on a raft" still has stories to tell.
Anna Holloway brings the Monitor to life in this lively, illustrated presentation by combining log entries, official correspondence, personal letters from officers and crew, and material evidence found in the ship itself.
Holloway serves as vice president of museum collections and programs at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, where she recently curated the award-winning exhibition Ironclad Revolution at the USS Monitor Center.

Reservations are not required.
Admission is $5/adults, $4/seniors, $3/children and students, free for members (please present card) and to Richmond Times-Dispatch readers with a newspaper coupon. Parking is free.
