Presented as part of the State Historical Society of Missouri's Annual Meeting, the 2020 fall lecture features speaker Amy Laurel Fluker, the Robert W. Reeder I Professor of nineteenth-century American history at Youngstown State University.

Introduced by SHSMO Second Vice President and U.S. Senator Roy Blunt, Fluker discusses Civil War commemoration in Missouri as pursued most often by women and from both sides of the conflict.
