Add the American Revolution 250th to the list of advocacy items in the event the New York History Community ever advocates. This is in addition to the previous topics recently raised about The State Historian The State Museum State-owned historic sites. Now we turn to a national issue, the American Revolution 250th addressed in two […]
In this blog, I wish to continue the discussion on the current situation regarding the American Revolution 250th by switching to education. 1. What can be taught in the k-12 classroom? 2. How can the national history organizations help? I begin by carrying on from the previous blog with its focus on Virginia and the […]

The last time I wrote about it was July 1, 2022 (Controversy at the United States Semiquincentennial Commission). Regrettably, it does not […]
