Koos will review the story of the diverse peoples and events of this county by presenting the struggle to build community and secure freedom as these many communities defined it. Native peoples, women and men, African Americans, Irish and German immigrants all sought and contested for their freedom.

His historical research has been published in the United States and Ireland. Koos lives with his wife, Carol, in his hometown of Bloomington, IL. Most recently he wrote the book, Freedom, Land, and Community: A History of McLean County Illinois, 1730-1900.
