Paper quotes Olga Anna Duhl, Oliver Edwin Williams Professor of Languages and Bicentennial Fellow, about the exhibit presented by Lafayette College and National Archives of France
The Philadelphia Inquirer on June 24 published an article (republished here on MSN without a paywall) about Lafayette Between France and America: History and Legend, a joint exhibition between Lafayette College and the National Archives of France.
Presented at the National Archives Museum in Paris, the exhibition chronicles the Marquis de Lafayette’s political and military role in the American Revolutionary War, his lifelong commitment to liberty and equality on both sides of the Atlantic, his personal trials in Europe, his triumphant return to the United States in 1824-25, and how he was perceived in his homeland.
Olga Anna Duhl, Oliver Edwin Williams Professor of Languages, who helped plan and curate the exhibit, is quoted in the article. Lafayette College loaned more than 50 artifacts for the exhibition.
The exhibit, which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America and the Bicentennial of Lafayette College, runs till July 14.
