The Life-Long Learning Lecture Series at Fort Lewis College will present “The Silk Roads Resurrected” at 7 p.m. Thursday in Room 130 of Noble Hall.
Originating in Xi’an, China, about 2,000 years ago, the Silk Roads began as ancient trading routes that blended commerce, diplomacy and power. In 2013, development of a “Silk Road Economic Belt” began for China to build cooperative relations with Central Asian countries.
Art historian, world traveler and medical professional Marilee Jantzer White will offer perspectives on China’s initiatives.
The free presentation is open to all. For a complete series schedule, visit www.fortlewis.edu/LLL.
