Please register for each session separately. April 9, 2025, marks the 160th anniversary of the Confederate surrender at Appomattox. Join us to kick off a four-part program that retells the most captivating and seminal event in American history. The American Civil War Retold is the video presentation of how the United States was transformed through the words of the three most central figures of the time – Jefferson Davis, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln – as communicated by three news reporters who describe the events as they unfold, in time linear fashion.
