SANTA CRUZ, CA--Bruce Levine, professor of history at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will present a talk, titled "An Emancipation Proclamation for the Confederacy," on Thursday, April 13, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Museum of Art and History at the McPherson Center, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. The talk is a part of the Humanities Lecture Series, sponsored jointly by UCSC's Humanities Division and the Museum of Art and History. The talk is free and open to the public. A reception follows.
Levine has written and taught on a wide range of historical subjects, but his main interests are the U.S.'s Civil War era and the trans-Atlantic "age of revolutions."
