On July 4, 2026, the country will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the proclamation of our independence from Great Britain. Join Lee Wilwerding as he retells the story of the years of leading up to our founding:
November 4: 1770-1774 Events in New England leading up to the Revolution, including the Stamp Act, the Boston Tea Party, and the Boston Massacre.
November 11: 1775 Paul Revere’s ride and the battle of Lexington and Concord; “the shot heard around the world.”
November 18: 1775-76 Bunker Hill and the siege of Boston. The Continental Army’s first success was forcing the British to retreat from the city.
About the Speaker:
Lee Wilwerding is a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and the outgoing President of the HHI World Affairs Council.
