Join the Rhode Island Historical Society on Tuesday, July 14th at 12:30pm for the sixth installment of Liberty at Lunchtime, a monthly virtual series highlighting partners in the other 13 original colonies. The series continues with a presentation from Sarah Hume, Adams Papers Editorial Assistant at the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Generations of the Adams family were at the heart of the action, witnessing and recording the establishment of the early American republic. From revolutionary politics in 1776 to the tenuous Civil War and beyond, join an Adams Papers editor to explore how the Adamses commemorated Independence Day as they experienced an ever-changing United States.
