Changing the Conversation on ISIS with Brian Steed
Tuesday, February 23 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Central Library at 14 W 10th St., Kansas City, MO 64105
 
The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is more than a place or a terrorist group. It is a set of ideas rooted in centuries-old beliefs and wrapped in a philosophy of violence. Understanding them is key to defeating them, according to Steed. A military historian at the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth and specialist on the Middle East, he initially spoke at the library about the Islamic State in late 2014. He continues his examination, taking a close look at the militant group’s makeup, motivations, and operations.

Free beer from Boulevard with some jazz and blues to listen to while you drink and mingle. The vendors will pack up by 7 p.m. so they can also enjoy the party. The potluck/shindig begins at 7:30. Bring a BADSEED-inspired dish to share. Check out the interview on KCUR with BADSEED founder Brooke Salvaggio and the reason behind the closing of BADSEED.

    I've lived in a few states across the U.S and spent a year down the street from a castle in Eger, Hungary. My heart finally found its home in Kansas City's River Market neighborhood.
