Fox Valley Technical College, Appleton, Entrance 15 (north parking lot)
Celebrate Diversity’s 34th Annual Community Cookout - now known as A World Bazaar - returns to Fox Valley Technical College for 2026. Change in Venue, Same Celebration.
Bringing the community together in conversation over food, sharing festive family-friendly entertainment, and featuring community partners with info and resources will allow us to build essential support and connections with our neighbors.
Katharine Lee Bates wrote “America the Beautiful” in 1893, combining the poem with music composed by Samuel Wald.
The poem combines the theme of the country’s grandeur and need for moral improvement. The first and fourth stanzas celebrate America’s physical beauty. The lesser-known second and third stanzas raise questions about national power and success. Bates addresses the challenges of loving an imperfect nation experiencing political corruption and nativism sparked by increasing immigration.
Join us as we unpack the depth of each of the four stanzas through song and discussion.
