DeVane Lecture Series: America at 250 Yale Class Supplemental Meeting In-Person
Join students from Yale University who will lead a public discussion based on The America 250 class, at Yale University. The students and public will discuss the
current lecture about US History and as we approach America 250.
This one-time-only course examines U.S. history from 1776 to the present, in advance of the nation’s semiquincentennial (or 250th birthday) in 2026. Taught jointly by Professors Joanne Freeman, David Blight, and Beverly Gage, the course emphasizes the history of the nation-state and the contested nature of American national identity. The class explores U.S. political history broadly conceived–not just as a realm of presidents and elections and wars (though there will be plenty of those) but as a conversation across time between citizens about what the United States is, was, and was meant to be. It proceeds from the premise that the American Revolution was the first but not the last radical act of national reimagining in U.S. history.
