    City of Sedona ArizonaSedona AZ (November 3, 2011) – The City of Sedona is sponsoring a lecture about Arizona Statehood in 1912 and America’s pivotal presidential campaign on Saturday, November 19 at 2:00 p.m. at the Sedona Public Library. Charlie Schudson, a member of the Historic Preservation Commission, has been collecting memorabilia and studying presidential campaigns for fifty years. He is pleased to share his collection and knowledge of the 1912 campaign to help celebrate Arizona’s centennial.

    Mr. Schudson states, “1912 — Wow, what a year! But what’s the connection? What does Arizona statehood have to do with the presidential campaigns of William Howard Taft, Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Eugene V. Debs? And, how could their combat one hundred years ago have anything to do with American politics today?”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
