2025 Spring Speaker Series: Jon Kukla “Patrick Henry: The Civic Faith of an Enlightened Patriot”
Date/Time
6/12/2025 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM Eastern
Event Description
Historian and Henry biographer, Jon Kukla shows you cannot understand the American Revolution without Virginia, and you cannot understand Virginia without Patrick Henry; he also offers a few thoughts about how twenty-first-century Americans might still, as Henry rhetorically advised George III, “profit by his example.” One big question Kukla will address is that posed by George Mason in 1792, George Washington in his Farewell Address, and Henry in his 1799 note to posterity: Was the Revolution a good thing or not?
