Class Description:
Pirates have been around for more than 5,000 years, and they are still around today. Perhaps the most famous pirate was Jean Lafitte, who was born a Frenchman and died an American. But did you know that he was also a Jew whose descendants are alive today? Come learn about Lafitte and pirate culture from Professor Edward Glick, Temple University political science professor emeritus.
