What's Happening

Monday evening at the library, MCC history professor Mark Sample brings to life the remarkable, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant story of Jim Thorpe — the Native American who won two Olympic gold medals in 1912, had them stripped away, played professional football and baseball, and is now remembered as one of the most important athletes in American history.
