Lafayette and the Legacy of the Revolution

Next meeting: Thursday, November 12, 2026 | 6:00pm-7:30pm
Bruce Zellers, Retired Oakland University Professor
The Maquis de Lafayette was a fascinating figure in American history. Lafayette represented a vital bridge between the American and French Revolutions, championed Enlightenment ideals of liberty, human rights, and resistance to tyranny across two continents, and was instrumental in drafting our founding documents. Join popular lecturer Bruce Zellers as he explores and explains this beloved historical figure and separates history from mythology. This program is generously sponsored by Bank of Ann Arbor.
