Let them eat cake: history comes to life during Reign of Terror lesson
Dr. Brian Rucker, Professor of Humanities and Social Sciences at Pensacola State College, once again brought history to life – this time, with a full-scale wooden guillotine and a touch of gallows humor. On May 1, outside of Building 14, Rucker and his European History 1001 class re-enacted a slice of the French Revolution during their lesson on the Reign of Terror. In partnership with PSC Carpentry Instructor Shaun Garner and his students, Rucker asked that a realistic wooden guillotine be constructed, modeled after those used in the late 1700s.
