Milwaukee Turners Yesterday & Today
Emilio De Torre, Executive Director of the Milwaukee Turners.
The Milwaukee Turners have been in existence since 1853. Whether fighting confederate slavers and Nazis; starting the first kindergartens and Physical Ed classes; teaching gymnastics and holding forums; or fish fries, beer and concerts, almost all Milwaukeeans have some sort of relationship with the Turners and Turner Hall. Hear where they’ve been and how their 172 year-old mission informs their actions and rebirth today.

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
