AMERICAN FACISM
7-8:30 PM, NOV. 17
The Jewish Historical
Society of Michigan
will present, via Zoom,
Detroit Jewish News
Editor Andrew Lapin
discussing “Our Father:
Father Coughlin and
American Fascism,
1930s-Today.” From the
presidential election to
the recently revealed
kidnapping plot against
Michigan’s governor,
much of today’s political
unrest can be traced
back to one priest
from Royal Oak. Father
Charles Coughlin of
the Shrine of the Little
Flower used his radio
sermons during the
Great Depression to
incite a nation into right-
wing fascism, violence
and antisemitism.
In the process, he
became America’s
first mass-media
demagogue. Cost:
$10 for members and
$18 for non-members.
Please register by 9
p.m. on Nov. 16: info@
michjewishhistory.org.
Instructions for joining
the Zoom call will be
sent the day before.
