Earlier this year, we welcomed @KenBurns, @sbotstein and Jane Kamensky for an unforgettable evening and a first look at The American Revolution — a powerful new documentary that brings our nation’s founding to life. Don’t miss the premiere this Sunday! 📷 https://t.co/2b1k5ceG8j
The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history. We went from being subjects to citizens, and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. It’s a great story – and hugely relevant to today. I hope you can watch. #AmericanRevolutionPBS
