Program possible. And i am particularly thankful to laura for making this program possible. I have about 45 minutes of stories and information i am excited to share with you. I feel, and i hope you will pose any question you might have. I dont always have the answers but i will give it my best shot. The cover you are looking at there on your screen is the cover of my most recent book, peace on our terms. It is fundamentally tied to the history of world war i which makes this collaboration so important to me. My book is a snapshot of a singular moment in history. Almost exactly 100 years ago. As the world finally began exiting from the devastation of the First World War and was able to begin the dreaming and planning for the peace and the new world that would come afterwards. At this moment, i show in my book that women from farreaching and incredibly diverse parts of the world began stepping onto the global stage and asserting an agenda of womens rights and gender equality that, at the
Public art and architecture worthy of our great republic. We do so by advocating for the Classical Tradition in civic design. We believe that tradition is unparalleled in its dignity, beauty and harmony, not to mention its legibility to the common man. It is no accident that the Founding Fathers chose the classical style when designing the Nations Capital and its core buildings of government.

Has been marred and disfigured by federal buildings and memorials that do not comport with the citys classical heritage and identity. For instance, there is the hirshhorn museum, which looks like a gun slit bunker. Then theres the brutalist fbi buildi

We will get into that. Let me say a little bit about scott. Welcome, scott. Many of our viewers know scott from his very long and successful and productive tenure and engagement with the National Park. He has been retired for a little more than 10 years or a little less than 10 years, excuse me. Geez, actually six years. Peter one thing john and i have discussed with many of our guests is interpretation on Civil War Battlefield parks. We also talked about partnerships with academics. We have seen with many of our guests, including our guest on thursday, nina silver, one of the first historians who came to the park and had conversations about ways to broaden the interpretation of gettysburg. Time and time again, john have noticed these connections between academics and public historians. Cant then conclude there is this great gap or golf between the two sides. I thought we could open by howng you reflect upon battlefield interpretation has changed over time during your career. And then,
