Songs and Stories of the American Irish, from Baby Boom to Baby Bust

Christendom College history professor Christopher Shannon will present a performance that tells the story of the American Irish in the decades following the Second World War.  Through original songs based on traditional Irish melodies, Professor Shannon will look at how, in a time of tremendous change, Irish-Americans tried to remain true to their ethnic culture rooted in urban, working-class neighborhoods.
