EVENT DETAILS
During the Revolutionary War, the debate between individual freedom and national security became a major concern of the Founding Fathers. Today, questions of freedom and security remain at the forefront of American discourse. In conjunction with the exhibition The Battle of Brooklyn, experts analyze the contention between these two Revolutionary ideals and discuss their implications for present-day America.
