Free public forums for seniors

The Renaissance Society, a learning-in-retirement organization sponsored by California State University, Sacramento, hosts a series of free public forums on topics of interest to seniors on Friday afternoons through May 10. The forums are held from 3 - 4 p.m. in Mendocino Hall 1003.

February's forum topics include "A Lonesome Whistle: A Celebration of Railroading in Song and Story," presented by Michael Sands, a retired attorney and a docent at the California State Railroad Museum, on Feb. 15.

On Feb. 22, CSUS history professor Shirley Moore presents "Race, Gender, Power: People of Color Along the American River." Moore will discuss historical and contemporary issues regarding race, identity, gender and community.
