Dr Patrick Spero, the CEO of the American Philosophical Society and its former Librarian, will bring us into the Society vault to discuss documents – some well-known like Thomas Jefferson’s final draft of the Declaration and others less so – that will shed light on the various meanings of the Revolution for those who lived through it and will spark conversation on what its legacy may mean for us today.
