The nation’s Semiquincentennial offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to renew public engagement with history, to transform and strengthen our field, and to help audiences reflect upon the full complexity and diversity of our nation’s past.
Join us for a special presentation about the 250th and the huge opportunities it offers the field. AASLH’s John Dichtl will provide an overview of national planning and ways that the history community can use the approach of 2026 to reach new audiences and promote an inclusive, honest, and widely shared understanding of our country’s history. He also will explain how the 250th is shaping AASLH’s efforts to help history organizations of all types and sizes to thrive and make the past meaningful for all people.
