Cry Havoc!
Legislative Violence in America
Join Revolutionary Spaces Collections Manager Lori Erickson and award-winning professor Dr. Robert David “KC” Johnson online as they explore an iconic artifact from the Revolutionary Spaces’ collection and the legacy of what this American relic symbolizes: violence perpetrated in the hallowed halls of Congress.
This virtual program will feature an introduction and examination of the cane used to attack Senator Charles Sumner and commentary by Lori Erickson, a seminar with Professor Johnson, and a participant Q&A. This event is supported in part by a grant from the Lowell Institute.
