If there’s one thing in common for everyone in the world, no matter your race, gender, ethnicity, it’s that we are all people. Going about our days, doing normal human tasks and the days of Ancient Greece weren’t any different. Luzerne County Community College History Club and club President Olivia Kishbaugh will be hosting an Ancient Greece lecture on Thursday, March 21 at 12:30 p.m. in Room 917 at the Main Campus.
Of all the countries and cultures in the world, why Ancient Greece? Club President, Olivia Kishabugh said coming up with one mutual topic was difficult but eventually, the club agreed on Ancient Greece. “We were debating what we were going to do and we narrowed it down to ‘what is something big that can cover everyone’s interests within one big umbrella and eventually, we all settled on Ancient Greece”, said Kishbaugh. The club decided on the lighter topics to discuss instead of the traditional dark war and politics. Mostly because those topics weren’t what they were interested in. They were interested in the kind of jobs they had, the types of clothing they wore, the homes they lived in, what they were built out of, what they used for beds, hygiene, etc. “When everyone talks about history, they always talk about war from the Vietnam War to Civil War to World War II but we wanted to make it lighter and say ‘yeah there was war and heavy events that happened but they were people”, said Kishbaugh. “They bathed together, they ate together, they had lives, they were people. That was my focus in doing this (lecture), just a reminder that we’re all people”. Kishbaugh said that the history club is always accepting new members whether you’re a history buff or just wanting to make new friends. “Come hang out and nerd out with us, even if you’re not doing anything. We talk about random history facts from Napoleon to the Civil War to World War II, we’re just nerds hanging out.”
