SUMMARY:Finding A Way Forward: The Conflict and Commemoration of America250
DESCRIPTION:Join the Onondaga Historical Association on Wednesday\, November 12 at 7:30 PM in the Wells Meeting Space at the Sky Armory\, Syracuse\, NY for an engaging discussion on the commemoration of America250 in polarizing times. \nIn 2026\, America250 marks the Semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence and the American Revolution. Activities will be filled with reflections on the conflicts and formative events that shaped the United States and American democracy\, and who we recognize as our heroes. How will communities navigate the diverging narratives of our history as we prepare for this milestone year? History\, education\, and public art have become flashpoints for national and local conflict. How will the story of America be interpreted and discussed in commemorative programs\, events and public spaces? \nTim Phillips\, founder of the global nonprofit Beyond Conflict\, and Monique VanLandingham\, Senior Advisor at the Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation\, will share insights from their international work in peacebuilding and conflict resolution. They will discuss how these approaches can help communities address the complex challenges of commemoration and collective memory as America250 draws near. \n  \nEvent Details: \n\nDate and Time: Wednesday\, November 12 | 7:30 PM\nLocation: Sky Armory’s Wells Meeting Space\, 351 S.
