The historical debates that generate the most intense interest tend to revolve around national narratives and contemporary political battles: What date marks the true founding of America? What are the real origins of the Senate filibuster? Which national figures merit public memorials? These questions certainly matter, but when we fixate on national, politicized narratives we neglect the more local stories that we may, in fact, have more responsibility to remember. 

Featuring Leo Landis, Curator for the State Historical Museum of Iowa, and panelists to be announced.
