As the kickoff event for GHS's commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, this program features a discussion between Dr. Milkis and GHS's Dr. Stan Deaton, the Dr. Elaine B. Andrews Distinguished Historian, about how the American experiment in self-government has evolved to meet the challenges of an ever-changing country over the last 250 years. This event also begins the 2023-2024 GHS Georgia History Festival that will examine the theme, “Governing Georgia Across Three Centuries.”
