Coffee Talk Lecture: Remember the Revolution
Saturday, May 16 | 3:00-4:00 p.m.
2nd Floor – Room 6&7

Joel Farkas returns with another topic for our America250 series this time focusing the war as a whole.

Mark Twain once said, “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.” How do you remember the founding of our country; as the truth or a good story? In this lecture Joel will talk about the poem Paul Revere’s Ride, the painting Washington Crossing the Delaware, Bunker Hill, The Declaration of Independence, George Washington’s false teeth, and a whole lot more!
