SUMMARY:America at 250: The Politics of National Memory
DESCRIPTION:America at 250: The Politics of National Memory\n\nAbout\n\nReg
 istration is required. This program does not include admission to Hildene 
 for the day. \n\nWhat shapes the way we understand America's past — and 
 who influences the stories we remember?\n\nAs the nation marks its 250th a
 nniversary\, join Manchester resident Jim Ramsey\, Senior Advisor to the U
 nited States Capitol Historical Society in Washington\, D.C.\, for an enga
 ging evening exploring the politics of national memory.\n\nThrough compell
 ing commentary and historic images\, Ramsey examines how monuments\, memor
 ials\, museums\, school curricula\, national holidays\, public art\, and h
 istoric sites shape the stories Americans tell about themselves — and ho
 w those stories influence the way we understand our present and imagine ou
 r future.\n\nFrom the United States Capitol and the Lincoln Memorial to th
 e legacy of the Civil War\, Reconstruction\, the “Lost Cause\,” and to
 day’s evolving conversations about commemoration\, this program invites 
 audiences to look more deeply at how history is remembered\, interpreted\,
  and used.\n\nJoin us in Lincoln Hall for a timely discussion connecting A
 merica’s founding ideals with the choices we make about national memory 
 today.\n\n \nChoose the registration level that best fits your circumstanc
 es.\n\nAccess Rate – $10\nFor those who would benefit from a reduced-pri
 ce ticket. \n\nStandard Rate – $25\nThe true cost of attending the progr
 am. \n\nPay-It-Forward Rate – $100\nIf you're able\, choosing this optio
 n helps support accessible programming and allows Hildene to keep Standard
  and Access rates available for others. Thank you for helping make meaning
 ful educational programs accessible to our community.\n\nLink: https://hil
