Crawley Great Lives series returns to UMW this year with a lineup of personalities who loom larger than life&mdash;and who are timely subjects for 2022. The lives of Dolly Parton, Vincent van Gogh, Ida B. Wells, Jimmy Carter and more will be revealed during the three-month series, which marks its 19th season this year.<\/p><div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>The organizers are taking a &ldquo;wait and see&rdquo; strategy with the lectures. Tentatively planned to be entirely in-person for the first time in two years, the surge of the COVID-19 omicron variant has necessitated the first four lectures&mdash;all in January&mdash;be livestreamed online. They can be accessed on the program website (<a href=\"https:\/\/umw.edu\/greatlives\">umw.edu\/greatlives<\/a>). Crawley said they will monitor the COVID situation with the hope that the subsequent 12 lectures, beginning on Feb. 1, can be in person in George Washington Hall&rsquo;s Dodd Auditorium. All updates will be announced on the website.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"hidden-print asset-breakout-container \">\n<div class=\"hidden-print asset-breakout-container \">\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>These free lectures will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from Jan. 18 through March 10, at 7:30 p.m. Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test is required, as are face masks, for all attendees.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lee-article-text\">\n<p>The lecture series was forced online during its last two seasons due to the pandemic. And in 2021, only in-house talent was used. Crawley said UMW&rsquo;s professors received rave reviews for their lectures, and &ldquo;when you think about it, teachers make great speakers. They are used to crafting engaging presentations every day.&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/fredericksburg.com\/entertainment\/great-lives-lecture-series-launches-jan-18-with-astronaut-john-glenn\/article_7197b73f-4224-5bff-98f6-eb0cf30fed9c.html\">Read more.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article originally appeared in The Free Lance-Star Weekender.The William B.
