PROGRAMS & EXHIBITIONS Winter/Spring 2020

Dear Friends,

Until recently, American democracy wasn’t up for debate—it was simply fundamental to our way of life. But things have changed, don’t you agree? According to a recent survey, less than a third of Americans born after 1980 consider it essential to live in a democracy. Here at New-York Historical, our outlook is nonpartisan

Buck Ennis, Crain’s New York Business and our audiences represent the entire political spectrum. But there is one thing we all agree on: living in a democracy is essential indeed. The exhibitions and public programs you find in the following pages bear witness to this view, speaking to the importance of our democratic principles and the American institutions that carry them out.

A spectacular new exhibition on the history of women’s suffrage in our Joyce B. Cowin Women’s History Gallery this spring sheds new light on the movements that led to the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution 100 years ago; a major exhibition on Bill Graham, a refugee from Nazi Germany who brought us the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, and many other staples of rock & roll, stresses our proud democratic tradition of welcoming immigrants and refugees; and, as part of a unique New-York Historical–Asia Society collaboration during Asia Society’s inaugural Triennial, an exhibition of extraordinary works from both institutions will be accompanied by a new site-specific performance by drummer/composer Susie Ibarra in our Patricia D. Klingenstein Library.

Public programs such as our Ann and Andrew Tisch Supreme Court Lecture, featuring Geoffrey Stone and Nadine Strossen, consider the vision of the Warren Court, while our History with David M. Rubenstein series—to be televised nationally this year—features conversations with notable public figures such as author Marie Arana, Ambassador Susan Rice, and historian and Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie Bunch. Our Bonnie and Richard Reiss Lectures on Constitutional History and Law revisit Montesquieu’s The Spirit of the Laws in relation to the establishment of the separation of powers and the relationship between the three branches of government more than two centuries later; our Mathew “Mike” Gladstein Lecture in Biography features a look back on the Watergate scandal with journalist Carl Bernstein; our Diamonstein- Spielvogel Forum on History and the Public Good brings award-winning journalist Bill Moyers into conversation with constitutional scholar Philip Bobbitt; and our Hertog/Petraeus lecture in April focuses on the importance of U.S. global leadership in the defense and advancement of democratic ideals.

We are thrilled for the return of Andrew Roberts as Distinguished Lehrman Lecturer this spring, and, as always, feel most fortunate to continue to count on the vision and dedication of Trustee Bernard Schwartz, whose generosity enables us to present our Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series, which is the heart of our public programs. I also want to acknowledge the outstanding work of my colleague Dale Gregory, vice president for public programs, as well as her deputy Alexander Kassl and their colleagues Heather Whittaker and Catriona Schwartz. I look forward to seeing you often in our beautiful Robert H. Smith Auditorium and in our halls and galleries!
