Participants will meet a Native matriarch striving to preserve a fragile alliance, a Prussian officer forging a new identity abroad, and a Boston schoolteacher cast far from home. Bell reveals how the war sparked a transoceanic refugee crisis, fueled antislavery movements, and inspired uprisings from Ireland to India. Rather than a neat founding moment, the Revolution emerges as a complex, high-stakes conflict spanning continents and oceans, driven by commerce, diplomacy, propaganda, and chance. This fresh perspective reimagines the Revolution as a deeply interconnected global event with lasting relevance today.

Yet for nearly six years, Virginia had played a vital role in the Patriot war effort, supplying a steady flow of soldiers and munitions. With British attention focused squarely on the southern colonies, re-conquering Virginia became essential to ending the American rebellion. The destruction of Richmond was only the beginning. To carry out this objective, Benedict Arnold, the American traitor and newly commissioned brigadier general in His Majesty’s service, was dispatched with a mixed force of British regulars and American Loyalists. From January 4–6, 1781, Arnold’s raid devastated the capital and sent shockwaves through the Commonwealth. Surprise guests will also make an appearance!

Karin Wulf's exciting new book, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America delves into an era where individuals, families, and institutions meticulously documented their connections. Whether driven by personal passion or mandated by churches, local governments, and courts, these records appeared in diverse forms-from handwritten notes and account books to intricate silk threads and enduring stone carvings. Family connections wielded significant influence across governmental, legal, religious, cultural, and social spheres. In the American context, these ties also defined the boundaries of slavery and freedom, with a child's status often determined by their mother, despite the prevailing patriarchy. This book reveals the profound importance of genealogy that was chronicled by family records, cultural artifacts, and court documents. These materials, created by both enslaved individuals seeking freedom and founding fathers seeking status, demonstrate the culturally and historically specific nature of genealogical interest. Even as the American Revolution transformed society, the significance of genealogy endured. The legacy of lineage from the colonial period continued to shape the early United States, underscoring the enduring importance of family connections. Lineage offers a deep understanding of genealogy as a foundational element of American history, illuminating its vital role from the colonial era through the birth of the nation. A historian of early America, Karin Wulf is the Beatrice and Julio Mario Santo Domingo Director and Librarian at the John Carter Brown Library and Professor of History at Brown University. From 2013 to 2021 she was the Executive Director of the Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture and Professor of History at William & Mary. She writes for public and academic audiences about early American history, the worlds of scholarship and scholarly publishing, and why footnotes can save democracy. Wulf's newest book is Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in 18th Century British America (2025). She serves on a variety of non-profit boards, including the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, Inc. and the National Humanities Alliance, and is a co-founder of Women Also Know History.

Bullard will deliver an illustrated presentation highlighting unique artifacts and documents from the museum collections of the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site. Maggie L. Walker (1864-1934) was a pioneering entrepreneur, educator, and fraternal leader. She is renowned as the nation's first African American female bank president and Richmond's preeminent civil rights crusader during the early 20th century. Walker's home in Jackson Ward is a public house museum, fully furnished with an unparalleled collection of original artifacts donated from Mrs. Walker's descendants directly to the National Park Service. The museum is the National Park Service's first site dedicated to preserving the legacy of an African American woman and is a must-see for visitors of all stripes. Ethan is the Museum Curator for Richmond's two national parks, managing the archives, artifacts, and exhibits of the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site and Richmond National Battlefield Park. A native of Decatur, GA and a graduate of Bowdoin College and VCU, Ethan has called Virginia his home since 2007.

Spanning four centuries, from the Tudors to Queen Victoria, Dr. Newman traces how successive monarchs, and the institution of the monarchy itself, invested in, profited from, and legitimized an Atlantic empire built on human bondage. Drawing on extensive archival research, she reveals the extent to which royal power and wealth were intertwined with slavery’s expansion, and how the Crown’s silence has shaped public memory to this day.
