Claypool, author, Professor Emeritus of History at Northern Kentucky University, and speaker for the Kentucky Humanities, for a discussion of the origins and development of the Kentucky Derby, the world’s most famous horse race and a powerful influence on Kentucky society and culture. Join us on Monday, April 27th, at 6:00 pm in NCPL Main Branch Community Room #2 when we’ll serve festive food and drinks--and feel free to wear your best Derby hat!
