The Thursday Channel: 1776 and the Birth of Democracy

In 2026 we celebrate our nation's Semiquincentennial--the 250th anniversary of our independence from Great Britain. It is also when the Original Thirteen Colonies began formulating their concept of a unified democracy of their own--the first democratic nation in North America.  To speak on this important topic, we bring in a professional historian of American history, Professor Katherine Jellison from the Department of History in the College of Arts and Sciences at Ohio University.
