The Civil War and the Forging of Character is a four-year lecture series presented by Lovett to mark the sesquicentennial of the Civil War and the Battle of Atlanta. Its purpose is to bring to Lovett speakers and scholars who can engage students, faculty, parents, alumni, and the community at large, on critical matters of character and integrity as demonstrated during this defining period in the nation’s history.
Edward Ayers, Ph.D. is the president of the University of Richmond and will kick-off the series with a lunchtime lecture entitled "Where Did Freedom Come From?"
Reservations are required. The lecture is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served after the lecture.
