SUMMARY:Eyewitness to Revolution with American Ancestors
DESCRIPTION:Eyewitness to Revolution with American Ancestors\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis illustrated virtual talk will focus on the stories told by objects in the Concord Museum collection about the lead-up to April 19\, 1775\, and the epochal day itself.

He has overseen the development of over 40 temporary exhibitions and galleries. He is the author of numerous scholarly articles and publications\, including the award-winning An Observant Eye: The Thoreau Collection at the Concord Museum and Eyewitness to Revolution: The American Revolution Collection at the Concord Museum. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by American Ancestors. Forums for the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution are made possible by a gift from Claire and Joshua Nelson. Forums are supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund. \n\n\n\nThis program is entirely virtual and hosted by American Ancestors.

SUMMARY:A Portrait of Ralph Waldo Emerson
DESCRIPTION:Robert D. Richardson III Annual Forum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMore than two centuries after his birth\, Ralph Waldo Emerson remains one of the presiding spirits in American culture. Yet his reputation as the starry-eyed prophet of self-reliance has obscured a much more complicated figure who spent a lifetime wrestling with injustice\, philosophy\, art\, desire\, and suffering. James Marcus introduces us to this Emerson\, a writer of self-interrogating genius whose visionary flights are always grounded in Yankee shrewdness. \nCo-sponsored by the Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association. \nRegister using the form below. \nFree for Members | $10 Non-Members | Free Virtual \nForums are supported in part by the Sally Lanagan Fund.
