Lansing Middle School Art Teacher, Ms. Emily Bucher, Has Co-Authored Book Published!
Congratulations to our very own middle school art teacher, Ms. Emily Bucher, for having her co-authored book, From Langenbrück to Kansas City: The Kiefer-Scholz Family, published. The book documents the family history of the Kiefer-Scholz family through "letters, photos, and other personal effects" as they migrated from Langenbrück to Kansas City.
Ms. Bucher contributed with a piece titled "Contact Me Sometime, Will You?" that covers sustaining relationships after migration in the 1920s through postcards. Ms. Bucher worked on this publication as part of her graduate studies at the University of Missouri - Kansas City (UMKC). According to the UMKC website, "the Robert J. Kiefer and Thekla E. Scholz Collection became the primary focus of a collaborative international online research seminar and project involving four faculty members and more than thirty graduate students in art history, ethnography, history, and public history. German Migration to Missouri 2.0 consists of student-authored microhistories focusing on this one German-American family. It offers rare glimpses into the experience of German-American migration and acculturation through the lens of a fascinating working-class woman."
