SUMMARY:The Revolutionary War
DESCRIPTION:Most Americans simply do not know very much about the Revolutionary War. \nAlthough certain images from the Revolutionary War are seared into our memory – Washington Crossing the Delaware and the signing of the Declaration of Independence –  many people would be hard-pressed to name a major battle\, a leading general\, or even how the War For Independence ended.  Recent events in America have caused some to question whether we should even have statues of George Washington on public display. \nTHE REVOLUTIONARY WAR\nIn this four-part series on the Revolutionary War\, we will examine why the freest and most prosperous colonials in the world decided to declare independence from a mother country that had protected them. We will look at the roots of the war\, the Declaration of Independence\, the early battles\, including Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill\, before transitioning into a longer look at the seven years of fighting necessary for America to begin its experiment in participatory democracy. We will also look at the amazing and diverse leaders who guided America. Benjamin Franklin\,James Monroe\, John Adams\, Paul Revere\, George Washington\, Thomas Jefferson\, and Alexander Hamilton will be some of the people we will meet. I encourage you to learn more about how America came to be! \n

SUMMARY:Hamilton: The Man\, Miranda And The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Who could have predicted that an 818-page biography of America’s first Secretary of the Treasury\, Alexander Hamilton\, would become one of the biggest Broadway smashes of all time? Yet this fascinating blend of history and hip-hop\, political debate\, and show tunes has not only swept the Tony Awards but played to standing-room-only audiences for over 8 years! \nNaturally\, as a historian who lives for Broadway\, I couldn’t wait to be in the audience. And I can tell you that the show more than lives up to its hype. This is an amazing work of genius – a combination of history\, music\, performance\, and thought-provoking content that will long be considered a hallmark in the history of Broadway. \n Alexander Hamilton: The Man\, The Writer\, The Musical\nIn this brand-new\, fast-paced\, and fascinating multimedia presentation\, I will offer audiences a mini-biography of the real Alexander Hamilton and his place in American history. Then we will look at the life and work of Lin-Manuel Miranda\, the genius who created and starred in Hamilton. \nFinally\, we will look at the musical itself. I’ll play excerpts from the songs\, explain the narrative structure and help you have a greater appreciation for the show\, whether you’ve seen it a dozen times already or are seeing it for the first time! \n
