Charles Strauss
Tucson’s First
Jewish Mayor
JIM TURNER
Historian and Storyteller
Sunday
February 7, 2010
2:00 pm

In Jim Turner we are very lucky in that we have a presenter who has both the academic credentials, a masters degree in history and seven years as historian at the Arizona Historical Society and more importantly, he is also a wonderfully dynamic presenter who makes history come alive. His audiences are often on the edge of their seats in rapt attention.

Jim will tell the story of Tucson’s first Jewish mayor who helped to establish the University of Arizona, caused the courthouse and library to be built, started a street improvement program and was part of the Arizona Legislature. Today his is one of the most widely recognized photos of the West. Yet not one building, plaza or street is named after this controversial pioneer.

Open to the public Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday from 1 to 5 PM.
