Description
In the spring of 2023, after nearly one hundred years as the “Colonials,” George Washington University changed its moniker to the “Revolutionaries.” In this talk, Professor Denver Brunsman, Chair of the GW History Department, will discuss the university’s moniker change and George Washington’s credentials as a “revolutionary.” Although not as radical as many of his fellow revolutionaries, Washington was at the forefront of the American Revolution and came to define a particularly American style of political revolution.
