Lunch & Learn: A Perfect Frenzy A Talk with Author Andrew Lawler

What if the road to American Independence didn’t begin in Boston- but in Virginia?

Join bestselling author Andrew Lawler as he explores the dramatic events of 1775-1776 that challenged long-held assumptions about the American Revolution. Learn how Lord Dunmore’s emancipation proclamation, the Ethiopian Regiment, and the burning of Norfolk reshaped the fight for independence and continued to influence conversations about race, freedom, and the nation’s founding.
