In the midst of the American Revolution, the French-American writer St. John de Crevecoeur famously asked the question, “What is an American?” His answer opened a debate that would last for decades.

Edward J. Larson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Pepperdine University Hugh & Hazel Darling Chair in Law, will speak from his new book, “American Inheritance: Liberty and Slavery in the Birth of a Nation, 1765-1795” (W.W. Norton, 2023) on Thursday, April 13, at 7 p.m. in the Memorial Union, Room 340.
