This year’s celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence have invited us to reflect on the incredible history and novelty of the American political experiment. But…there is more to the story. Far from an isolated event, the American Revolution was only a single chapter in a broader “Age of Revolution” that remade politics and societies on both sides of the Atlantic from the 1750s-1820s. Join us for an exciting introduction to the free, enslaved, and indigenous men and women who echoed, expanded, and even challenged the ideals of the American Revolution as they declared their own self-evident truths in Europe, Haiti, West Africa, and Latin America. After this class, you’ll never see the American experience in the same light again. See you there!
When: Tuesday, Aug 18 @ 7:00-9:00pm
Where: JeannieBird Baking Company, 42 W. Main St., Westminster, MD
Cost: $50 / person (inc. dessert and coffee/tea)
