We all know about Lexington and Concord, but the start of the American Revolution in the South 250 years ago proved every bit as important. Award-winning journalist and author Andrew Lawler will look at the dramatic events that took place in 1775 and 1776 in southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, and the role that patriots and loyalists played in shaping our nation in surprising ways that are reflected in today’s headlines. Lawler will discuss his new book, A Perfect Frenzy: A Royal Governor, His Black Allies, and the Crisis that Spurred the American Revolution.
No RSVP required if you plan to attend in person.
