Lunchtime Lagniappe: Woodrow Wilson and the Paris Peace Conference

Bring your brown bag to the Capitol Park Museum today for Lunchtime Lagniappe. Dr. Gunter Bischof leads a talk on controversial peacemaker and president Woodrow Wilson, who reluctantly led the U.S. into World War I. Following the war, the president's 14-point plan served as a blueprint for the peace conference in Paris, where difficult treaty negotiations showed that Wilson's European allies imagined a very different sort of peace for the post-war world. Dr. Bischof is University Research Professor of History, the Marshall Plan Chair and Director of CenterAustria: The Austrian Marshall Plan Center for European Studies at UNO; served as a visiting professor at LSU after Hurricane Katrina; and is the author of numerous books. Noon. Free. Attendees are asked to bring their own lunches and may come and go as their schedules require. (225) 342-5428.
