Dornsife Dialogues: America at 250: What History Can Teach Us About Our Future
About this Event
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, what can our history teach us about the nation we are becoming?
Join USC Dornsife Dean James Bullock for a lively conversation with historians Peter Mancall and Nathan Perl-Rosenthal. Looking beyond familiar founding stories, they’ll explore how America took shape and how ideas about freedom, citizenship and democracy have evolved.
What has changed? Which debates remain unresolved? And how can history help us navigate the challenges ahead?
