Bucks offers year-round Cultural and Community Events as part of their mission for the community of all ages.
On Sept. 26, in the Zlock Performing Arts Center, Bucks held a screening for the film “Foreigners In Their Own Land” as well as a panel discussion following the movie. The event also included free pizza.
This film surveyed the history of people from 1565-1880, as the first Spanish explorers entered North America, and the United States expanded into territories in the Southwest.
The film showed how the land, once inhabited by Native Americans, English and Spanish colonies eventually led to the Mexican-American War, which stripped Mexico of half of its territories by 1848.
This culturally enriching event was free and open to the public. Registration for these free tickets were available at the Bucks website under the News and Events Calendar.
