This presentation is supported by a grant from the Carnahan Jackson Humanities Fund and the Hahn Family Freedonia Marxonia Fund, both of the Fredonia College Foundation. The show streams live on October 1, 2021, at 7pm ET, right here: Pitts who are collaborating on a new biography of Margaret Dumont, our beloved Seth Shelden, Nobel Laureate, practicing attorney, law professor and once and future Harpo (in a show stopping segment I’m not allowed to leak), and a great many others.
