The Wilkinson College of
Humanities and Social Sciences 2011-2012 Series presents, "A Night with
Abigail and John Adams.”
Abigail and John Adams lived
through some of the most tumultuous times in American History. Beginning their
marriage on a Massachusetts farm in British Colonial America, they participated
in the revolution that led to independence, traveled to Europe to advance the
interests of the new nation, and returned to the United States where John
served as the nation's first Vice President and second President. You are
invited to listen to the letters that attest to their fascinating life together
that spanned 54 years.
The letters will be read by Dr.
Elizabeth Eastman, Assistant Professor of Political Science who also teaches in
the History Department. Dr. John C. Eastman is the Henry Salvatori
Professor of Law and Community Service and the former Dean of Chapman Law
School.
Come be a part of history, at a
night you’ll be sure to remember!
