LIMA — Primrose Retirement Community will continue its monthly history series at 1 p.m. Wednesday with University of Dayton professor of English and director of film studies James Farrelly.
Farrelly’s presentation, “The Easter Rising of 1916,” will cover how ordinary citizens of Ireland took on the mighty British government, challenged its occupation of the Irish Republic, and demanded independence for all of Ireland.
Though the movement failed to achieve its immediate goal of overthrowing English rule, the event eventually lead first to a disputed treaty, a civil war over its acceptance, decades of unrest and violence between political and religious factions in a divided Ireland, and a fragile brokered peace.
A complimentary lunch will be served at noon. To RSVP, call 419-224-1200.
