Big Watch - The U.S. American Revolution - Presented by the NH Humanities Council

Join us at the Manchester City Library to commemorate and reflect upon the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with a film screening and discussion! Together, we’ll watch a short excerpt from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a new film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt, followed by a community discussion. The featured segment from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, “The Spirit of Service,” explores service as a core American value, from the nation’s founding through to the present day – examining volunteerism, civic participation, public leadership, and more.
Expert facilitator Mary Adams of the New Hampshire Historical Association will guide a thoughtful conversation about “remembering together,” considering questions such as:
• What moments from our past define who we are and point to a shared future?
• What are the key historical moments in your towns or community’s history?
• How does focusing on these moments shape your sense of your community’s future?
Big Watch programs are made possible by a partnership between New Hampshire Humanities and New Hampshire PBS.
