How We Commemorate Historical Moments


  • The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation Williamsburg, VA USA (map)

Significant moments in history are often fraught with difficulty. What is a celebration for some, may evoke painful remembrance for others. Please join panelists Christy Coleman, Executive Director, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, Ed Ayers, Tucker-Boatwright Professor of the Humanities, University of Richmond, and Tommy Norment, Minority Leader of the Senate of Virginia, as they delve into a discussion, moderated by Barbara Hamm-Lee, host of WHRO's Another View. They will examine the legacy of the past, and how the ways used to commemorate our history have been revolutionized by a more aware and inclusive approach, one that examines the past and present, and looks toward the future HERE.
