Hosted by Ken Winnick, we are pleased to invite you for morning coffee and a lively discussion of American History, followed by our 250th planning kickoff.  

Discussion will follow the on-site viewing of an interview with historian Manisha Sinha, Draper Chair in American History at the University of Connecticut. Dr. Sinha is a leading authority on the history of slavery and abolition, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. In the video she is interviewed about her new book, "The Rise and Fall of the Second American Revolution" (a.k.a. Reconstruction).  

Exploration of the Reconstruction period is a great way to familiarize (or, re-familiarize) yourself with the broad, overall sweep of American History. It is described by many as an "Unfinished Revolution", one of several key themes recommended by AASLH for exploring America's founding in 2026.
