Where the Crawdads Sing Movie

Abandoned as a girl, Kya raised herself in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the marsh girl haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, she opens herself to a new and startling world. However, when one of them is found dead, Kya immediately becomes the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal many secrets.

Location: U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center- CARLISLE, PA

Local author, historian, and Penn State professor Mr. Jared Frederick is highlighting how two key leaders from WW2 cultivated respect and authority in a chaotic environment.

In his books, Fierce Valor: The True Story of Ronald Speirs and his Band of Brothers and Hang Tough, The WWII Letter and Artifacts of Major Dick Winters, Fredricks develops a complex portrait of two men at the heart of the acclaimed book and mini-series Band of Brothers. 

The harrowing experiences Dick Winters (a PA native) and Ronald Spiers, along with their abilities to successfully lead solders, provide deep insights for anyone interested in leadership and small unit dynamics.

Join us on Wednesday, February 15, at 6:30 EST as the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center (USAHEC) kicks off our Spring 2023 Perspective Lecture Series with Dr. Frederick discussing his books and the lessons learned in detail.

The event is free and open to the public.

Performing contemporary gospel with a touch of jazz and blues, The World Famous Harlem Gospel Choir is synonymous with powerful vocals, glorious sound and infectious energy. For over two decades they have been America’s premier gospel choir and have toured the globe thrilling audiences with the inspirational power of black gospel music.

Deeply rooted in the history of the African-American slave trade, black gospel music can be traced back to the 1700s when African slaves brought their unique African musical heritage to America and combined it with their new faith – Christianity. Out of the hardship and the trials of slavery, this unique musical tradition came to be, and forever changed music as we know it. Blues, Soul, and Rock-and-Roll…they all have origins in black gospel music. Harlem Gospel Choir presents modern gospel classics as performed in the black churches of Harlem today.

Harlem Gospel Choir have performed alongside superstars such as Bono, Diana Ross, The Gorillaz, Andre Rieu, Damon Albarn, Pharrell Williams, JamieXX, Sia, Sam Smith, The 1975 and American Authors. They have performed for three Presidents (President Obama, President Carter and President Nelson Mandela), two Popes (Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI) and have recorded with Keith Richards, The Chieftains, and Trace Adkins.

In 2018 the choir performed with Sam Smith at the Grammy’s, and in the last two years they performed during Macys Thanks Giving Day Parade, and at the NBC Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony at Rockefeller Center with Jordan Smith and Pentatonix.

Harlem Gospel Choir embodies the spirit of American Gospel. Every concert is infectiously enthusiastic; a roller coaster ride of singing and dancing; a gospel celebration! The Choir’s rich harmonies & dynamic sound are “UNFETTERED & JOYOUS”. Their harmonious songs of love and hope and inspiration will touch the depths of your soul, lift your spirit, and take your breath away!
