PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Winter/Spring 2017

Luce Center Dear Members & Friends, 4th Floor Grand Opening | Spring 2017

2016 was an extraordinary year for history. It saw Hamilton, a musical about the life of our New York Founding Father, sweep the Tony Awards with 11 wins that underscored the brilliance of the penniless orphan from Nevis. It also witnessed some of our elected officials struggling to think of an American woman worthy of having her face on the $10 bill. Moreover, 2016 brought into contemporary relief the effects of our Founders’ complex politics. How confused so many Americans have been about the origins of the Electoral College! In response, a new focus within our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series will address many of the questions we have heard around the American Presidency.

2017 will bring change of all kinds, including at New-York Historical. Among much else, our newly renovated fourth floor will reopen with exciting stories to tell. Thanks to our brand-new Center for Women’s History, no one will ever again have to struggle to identify American women of worth. To complement the Center, the winter/spring season will include a discussion of Dolley Madison with historian Carol Berkin and journalist Cokie Roberts, as well as a conversation between Billie Jean King and David Rubenstein as part of our History with David M. Rubenstein series.

Further highlights include Douglas Brinkley, William Leuchtenburg, and Geoffrey Ward discussing the legacy of FDR, while David Rubenstein returns for History with David M.
