Dear all,
We are pleased to send you the sixth newsletter of the America2026 program. February was a busy month with a presentation of the program during USC “Age of Revolutions” e-seminar on Feb. 21 and with a very rich workshop on Imperial History and the American Revolution hosted at the Wilberforce Institute this past Friday! As we are waiting and hoping for spring to arrive, we hope you’ll find this read as inspiring as we do.
