Please join LILRC and ALA President Sam Helmick for an in-person advanced screening of select portions of the new PBS documentary series, The American Revolution, directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein, and David Schmidt. The series explores America’s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence. The American Revolution is an expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war and the birth of the United States of America; the film follows dozens of figures, giving viewers a chance to experience the war through the memories of the men and women who lived through it.

Opening remarks will be delivered by Sam Helmick, President, American Library Association. 

Light refreshments will be provided.

This program is provided in cooperation with PBS WETA.
