SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—National Treasure: How the Declaration of Independence Made America 
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning historian Michael Auslin discusses his new book that demonstrates how Thomas Jefferson’s words in the Declaration of Independence have inspired implausibly varied causes\, from suffragists and civil rights leaders to groups waging war on the United States government. Auslin will address the lessons that should be taken from the document today and how the Declaration’s ideals can bring a disparate nation together. As we gather to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founders’ bold experiment in democracy\, this talk will also remind us that the enduring document was not just a call for freedom and equality but an eloquent statement of the principles that bind us together. \nRegistration is requested.

SUMMARY:Lecture – Palmetto Parapets: The Battle of Sullivan's Island\, June 28\, 1776
DESCRIPTION:Independent historian Chip Bragg commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island\, where Maj. Gen. William Moultrie commanded a valiant defended an unfinished log fort on Sullivan’s Island\, located at the entrance of Charleston harbor in South Carolina\, against a determined British naval attack. Drawing from his extensive research\, Dr. Bragg gives an in-depth overview of the iconic battle—which occurred while the Continental Congress in Philadelphia considered a draft of the Declaration of Independence—and demonstrates how a garrison of South Carolinians proved that untested\, but courageous\, American soldiers could stand firm and prevail against British might at the outset of the American Revolution. \nRegistration is requested.

SUMMARY:Author’s Talk – Suffering for the Crown: The Hudson Valley Loyalists and the Violence of Revolution 
DESCRIPTION:Kieran O’Keefe of Lyon College discusses his new book that focuses our attention on Loyalists living in New York’s Hudson Valley during the Revolution\, an epicenter where neighbor fought neighbor\, brother fought brother\, and fathers fought sons. Through an analysis of the effects of violence on Loyalist communities—which included white\, Black\, and Native peoples—this talk reveals the brutal reality of war by examining its enduring psychological and social legacies\,  providing a nuanced understanding of the Revolution’s human cost and how suffering became central to how Loyalists came to define themselves and their ordeal. This program accompanies our current exhibition\, Voices of Revolution\, on view through January 10\, 2027. \nRegistration is requested.

SUMMARY:Lecture—Entangled Alliances: The Soldiers of Saint-Domingue During the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Historian Ronald Angelo Johnson of Baylor University brings to light the fascinating story of American patriots and rebels from Saint-Domingue (later Haiti) allying against European tyranny. While modern understandings of freedom are often linked to the U.S. Declaration of Independence\, Johnson argues that the desire of Black Atlantic inhabitants for liberty and their will to resist slavery predated the fateful standoff between minutemen and redcoats at Lexington and Concord. Drawing from original multilingual sources to offer a fresh perspective\, this lecture fuses the search for freedom by Black and white founders in the United States and Saint-Domingue into a coherent story of collective resistance during the most explosive twenty-year period of the eighteenth century. This program accompanies our current exhibition\, Voices of Revolution\, on view through January 10\, 2027. \nRegistration is requested.

SUMMARY:Lecture—Washington’s Immortals: The Maryland 400 and the Battle of Long Island
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning author and historian Patrick K. O’Donnell commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Long Island that occurred on August 27\, 1776. Gen. George Washington found his troops outmanned and outmaneuvered at the Battle of Long Island\, but thanks to a series of desperate charges by a single heroic regiment\, the First Maryland Regiment—famously known as the Maryland 400—Washington was able to evacuate his men and the nascent Continental Army lived to fight another day. In this talk\, O’Donnell brings to life the remarkable men of this elite unit by discussing their role at the Battle of Long Island and other major engagements of the American Revolution. \nRegistration is requested.
