What Central Pennsylvania Can Learn from California’s History of Air Pollution Control

During the 1950s, Los Angeles became one of the nation’s pacesetters in responding to air pollution. Massive public protests alarmed business leaders, who tried to diffuse the
crisis with a major public relations campaign that celebrated science and technology, while blaming cars and carmakers.
Join historian Roger Turner for a talk that uses fascinating period photos to tell this story, and then explores what lessons we can learn for fighting air pollution today.

Join us on May 3, 2018, 7 pm at the Bosler Memorial Library,

158 West High St., Carlisle, PA 17013.  Light refreshments will be served.
