The American Revolution and the Fate of the World: An Electrifying Global History of a Not-So Local
Join historian and author Richard Bell to reconsider the American Revolution, exploring the global impacts of the war for independence, a seismic global event that redrew maps and toppled hierarchies across six continents. Through the stories of the diverse people displaced, empowered, or destroyed by the war, Bell offers a bold new framework for understanding the Revolution as a complex, international struggle.
 
In celebration of America's 250th anniversary, join CBMM in exploring the rich heritage and history of the Chesapeake Bay and its connections to America’s story.

The Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Speaker Series brings discussion about Chesapeake-related topics to the Van Lennep Auditorium. Events vary, but often include talks by industry experts, discussions with community members, performances by local artists, and screenings of relevant films. Regardless of the topic, each program will leave you with a greater appreciation for the people and environment of the Chesapeake Bay.

CBMM’s speaker events are offered in a hybrid format with options for both in-person and virtual tickets. The link to view the program virtually will be provided to all registrants before the program.
