Have you ever wondered how much of the hit musical "Hamilton" is true? Dr. Chretien Guidry of the College of Southern Maryland will be leading the 2-part discussion to explore how history and music blend together to tell Hamilton's story and contribute to the retelling of our Nation's foundation. Music will be involved!
Appreciate Alexander Hamilton's life through Lin-Manuel Miranda's haunting lyrics "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story." Be reveled by "The Room Where it Happens" which lays out how the federal government made lasting impactful decisions.
