2024 marks the bicentennial of the return of the Marquis de Lafayette to the United States. In 1824, President James Monroe invited Lafayette to be the guest of the nation for a short tour of popular cities as a way to celebrate the nation’s 50th anniversary. Lafayette's arrival in New York inspired four days and nights of continuous celebration—a response replicated during his visits to each of the other states. What started out as a 3 month tour, turned into a 13-month marathon as Lafayette set out to visit all of the United States during his visit. Join Professor Bob Allison in conversation with Elizabeth Reese, a public historian and author of "Marquis de Lafayette Returns: A Tour of America's National Capital Region."
