SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: George Washington\, Slavery and America's Historical Memory
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT. Tickets to the virtual event are still available here. \nDrawing on research from his latest book\, historian John Garrison Marks will explore how generations of Americans have remembered\, forgotten\, manipulated and wielded Washington’s entanglements with slavery over the past 250 years. As both a prolific enslaver for his entire life\, as well as the emancipator of more than 120 of the people he enslaved\, George Washington’s complex relationship with slavery has vexed Americans for centuries. \nJohn Garrison Marks is a historian and writer exploring the United States’ histories of race\, slavery and public memory. He is the author or editor of three books\, and his writing has appeared in the Washington Post\, TIME\, Smithsonian Magazine\, among other publications. His latest book\, “Thy Will Be Done: George Washington’s Legacy of Slavery and the Fight for American Memory\,” explores how generations of Americans have made sense of George Washington’s involvement in slavery. Marks currently serves as the Vice President of Research and Engagement for the American Association for State and Local History\, the national professional association for public history practitioners and institutions. He earned his Ph.D. in history from Rice University.

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: The American Revolution and the Fate of the World\, An Electrifying Global History of a Not-So Local War
DESCRIPTION:When we think of the American Revolution\, we often picture a parochial drama: 13 colonies squaring off against the British Crown in a spirited bid for independence. But this version of the story is only half the truth. In this riveting program\, historian and author Richard Bell invites audiences to rediscover the Revolution as a world war that unleashed chaos\, opportunity and transformation across six continents. From the sugar fields of the Caribbean to the court of the King of Mysore\, from refugee camps on the Canadian frontier to political uprisings in Sierra Leone and Peru\, the war that gave birth to the United States was never simply America’s own. It was a seismic global event that redrew maps\, toppled hierarchies\, catalyzed migration and accelerated new movements for liberty—and for empire. \nRichard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland and author of the book “Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home” which was a finalist for the George Washington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize. He has held major research fellowships at Yale\, Cambridge and the Library of Congress and is the recipient of the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar award and the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship. His new book\, The American Revolution and the Fate of the World\, was published by Penguin in November 2025. \nMembers: FREE | Non-Members: FREE \n \nThis event is part of America250 at Tudor Place.

SUMMARY:Landmark Lecture: “In the Light of Their Original Function”: Armistead Peter 3rd the Creation of a House Museum
DESCRIPTION:In his 1969 book about Tudor Place\, its final owner\, Armistead Peter 3rd\, commented that in the increasingly common conversations happening about old houses “they are hardly ever spoken of or considered in the light of their original function: to be a family home.” Five years after his passing\, and in accordance with his wishes\, his own family home opened as a historic house museum. Who is the man that turned his home into a museum\, and how can a family home help us tell more than just the story of the Peter family? \nShelby Stevenson is the Visitor Services Coordinator at Tudor Place. Before coming to Tudor Place\, she worked at Mount Vernon and Historic Alexandria. She received a bachelor’s degree in history from Marymount University in 2020 and is currently working on a master’s degree in history at George Mason University.
