I’d also to thank Scott Stevenson, who is the CEO and President of the museum, as well as his extraordinary staff, who’ve been really terrific help in helping us organize this event and make it possible. Today, this event is co-hosted by the Museum of the American Revolution. They’ve made this lecture series possible, and this, its fifth year. We’re truly grateful for their generosity and support of FPRI over the years. So with a personal thank you to Stanley and Arlene Ginsburg. So that’s the Stanley and Arlene Ginsburg Family Foundation and the Satell Family Foundation. McDougall, I would like to give a special thank you to the sponsors of the Ginsburg-Satell Lecture Series on the American Character and Identity. He was also a long serving editor, head editor of Orbis for many years. He’s also the Chair of our America and the West Program. Walter has had a long association with FPRI. Talking about the War of 1812 and its strategic consequences. We’re honored and delighted to feature the Pulitzer Prize winning historian, Walter McDougall, this evening. And thank you and welcome to all of you and thanks for joining us tonight. I’m looking forward-what is this, number five in this series? Rollie, take it away.
We’re very excited as we’re moving toward 2026, we are working on an incredible exhibition called, “The Declaration’s Journey,” which will explore the history of the Declaration of Independence and its influence over the quarter millennium since 1776, not just through American history but it’s continuing influence around the world, as well.Īnd I know that will be a fertile ground for collaboration with you all. School groups are filling our galleries once again, much to the chagrin of adults like myself who like a quieter vibe in the galleries. I’m happy to report that visitors are coming back. We have exciting things going on in the museum.
We’re so grateful of course for our longstanding partnership with FPRI. The lecture is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Stanley and Arlene Ginsburg Family Foundation and the Satell Family Foundation. Editor’s Note: On May 24, FPRI’s Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Walter McDougall discussed the 1812 war in the fifth annual Ginsburg-Satell Lecture on American Character and Identity at the Museum of the American Revolution.
