The American Revolution — A FREE Screening Event in Pikeville
Tuesday May 12 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm America/Kentucky/Pikeville
Join us for a free special screening event in Pikeville!
Discover how America’s founding turned the world upside-down with a highlight screening of The American Revolution, a six-part, twelve-hour documentary from Ken Burns. Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired democratic movements around the globe.
Following the highlight screening, enjoy a thoughtful discussion from local historians moderated by Dr. Stephanie Lang, Editor, The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society. Panelists include:
• Dr. Tom Matijasic
• Dr. Brittany Goetting
In partnership with the Kentucky Historical Society and the America250KY Commission, KET is thrilled to invite you to a free screening event at The Appalachian Center for the Arts.
