Join Moraine Valley history and political science faculty for a lively panel conversation inspired by Ken Burns’ new PBS documentary series The American Revolution. Together they’ll explore how the series portrays the thirteen colonies’ struggle for independence, the messy work of building a new government, and the global shockwaves the Revolution sent around the world. Panelists will also consider whose stories are centered (and whose are left out) as we mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
