EVENT DETAILS
Alexander Hamilton has gone from forgotten Founding Father to 21st-century celebrity. As intelligent as he was controversial, Hamilton played a key role in shaping the America we know today. Preeminent Founding-era scholars shed light on one of America’s most divisive figures, from his meteoric rise to his scandalous final years.
Joanne Freeman is Professor of History and American Studies at Yale University and the editor of The Essential Hamilton: Letters & Other Writings. Carol Berkin (moderator) is Presidential Professor of History Emerita at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY.
