The Clements Bookworm: Online Event for History Lovers: Bookworm #94

William L. Clements Library presents on ZOOM: Clements Bookworm #94- Author Conversation with Michael Hattem, "The Memory of ’76: The Revolution in American History"

In this sweeping take on American history, Michael D. Hattem reveals how conflicts over the meaning and legacy of the Revolution—including the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—have influenced the most important events and tumultuous periods in the nation’s history; how African Americans, women, and other oppressed groups have shaped the popular memory of the Revolution; and how much of our contemporary memory of the Revolution is a product of the Cold War.
