Over 500 of you tuned in or attended last night's lecture with AFL President Alan Hoffman and AFL Executive Director Chuck Schwam at the Anderson House aka the American Revolution Institute in Washington, DC. In 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette embarked on a tour of the United States, returning for a final time to the country he helped establish and whose democratic experiment he saw as a model for the rest of the world. During his thirteen-month tour, he visited all twenty-four states of the union, where he was celebrated with processions, banquets and receptions, worship services, and visits to important sites. There was an excellent preview of the commemorative events planned to celebrate its bicentennial. This lecture accompanies the exhibition, Fete Lafayette: A French Hero’s Tour of the American Republic, on view from March 2 through December 31, 2024. - The American Friends of Lafayette
