Information
The Federation of Alliances Française presents Roger Mummert, presenter of popular past events on the history of Paris, the mysteries of the Bastille and D-Day, returns in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824 tour to talk about the “Hero of Two Worlds”.
The presentation will examine how Lafayette was promoted to mythical status by the burgeoning American newspaper industry, against the backdrop of a disputed presidential election that tested American values, and will also look at how Lafayette’s outspoken support for the abolition of slavery challenged Americans to continue to work toward “a more perfect union.” Click here for more information.
