Several members of Congress — current and past — have direct,
personal connections to Ukraine. They include parents and
grandparents who immigrated to America from Ukraine — and even one
current freshman representative who was born there. In the latest

Weekly, we hear the personal stories of members
of Congress whose ancestry is linked to Ukraine.
Lectures in History
Professor Karen Rader talks about mid-20th century educational films

the Soviet Union in science education. Professor Rader's class
includes a look at animated programs created by noted Hollywood
director Frank Capra in the 1950s. Listen now on the Lectures
