"The Shape of the Civil War"
A lecture by Ed Ayers, historian and President of the University of Richmond

Wednesday, June 24, 2015, 4:00 p.m.
LJ-119, First floor, Thomas Jefferson Building

Today, the American Civil War seems settled, even inevitable. But a remarkable vision from 1897, held in the Library of Congress, challenges the way we usually think of the war and offers a bridge to our own digital era. A special lecture by Ed Ayers, author, historian and President of the University of Richmond.

--------------------------------

And coming up in July, the inaugural Daniel K. Inouye Distinguished Lecture, the tenth International Seminar on Decolonization, and lectures by Kluge Fellows Bradley Rogers and Thomas Dodman.

Events are held inside the historic Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, unless otherwise noted. Reservations are not required. All events are free and open to the public.

The John W. Kluge Center is pleased to welcome all patrons. Please request ADA accommodations five days in advance at (202) 707-6362 or ADA@loc.gov.
