Keefe Colloquium in the Public Humanities

Lehigh Valley 250, a collaboration of Lafayette College, Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society, Historic Bethlehem Museum & Sites, and Delaware and Lehigh National Corridor, is pleased to share Revolution Revisited: How We Shape and Share History, Then and Now, and invites participants to reflect on how we document and interpret history as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary. Keynote speaker Ariel Waldman of the American Alliance of Museums will explore how Americans have shared and reimagined their history across generations and how the semiquincentennial offers new opportunities for inclusive storytelling. Following her remarks, regional scholars and curators will lead small group discussions on amplifying diverse voices and rethinking historical narratives. Together, participants will consider how communities can foster understanding and shared identity through history in a modern context
