Lex Talk History is back with a fresh episode for September. Alan and Mandy recap the enormously successful Back to Lex Future signature event, then welcome in returned Peace Corps volunteer Rona Roberts. A traveling exhibit celebrating the 65th anniversary of the Peace Corps initiative opens at the museum later this month. Rona talks about the exhibit as well as her experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer from 1973 to 1975. We also have updates on a number of other museum happenings coming this fall.
