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.
