Remembering the Bicentennial: A Revolutionary History of 1976
Advertisement
In the aftermath of Vietnam and Watergate, the celebration of the US Bicentennial in 1976 sparked an extraordinary national conversation about the country’s past, present, and future. The anniversary also became an opportunity for many women to advocate for greater equality and promote the study of women’s history. In Philadelphia, the Bicentennial Women’s Center organized programs and initiatives centered on feminist education, advocacy, and community action.
Hear from Marc Stein, author of Bicentennial: A Revolutionary History of the 1970s, as he explores this transformative era in American history. He will be joined by Carol Tracy and Dr. Cynthia Little, who will share firsthand accounts of their work with the Bicentennial Women’s Center.
