Description
We hear a lot about the debunking of the Founding Fathers. But a slightly different question rarely gets asked: how were they "bunked" in the first place? Francois Furstenberg, a professor in the Department of History at Krieger School of Arts & Sciences, will present a talk on how Americans of the early 19th century created and fought over various images and ideals of Washington as father of the nation.
There will be a wine and cheese reception at 5:30 p.m., and the talk begins at 6:30 p.m.
This talk is presented in conjunction with the exhibition "The Many Faces of George Washington," on view at Homewood Museum from Jan. 15 through March 21.
