A250: Global Perspectives Lecture Series Kick-Off

With the Kinder Institute’s Spring 2026 lecture series celebrating the semiquincentennial anniversary of the United States set to wrap up on May 12, with Prof. Lawrence Goldman’s “View from the United Kingdom,” we thought we’d re-visit where it all started: On October 14 at the State Historical Society of Missouri, where former South African Constitutional Court Judge Albie Sachs provided a view of America at 250 from South Africa to a standing room only audience. For anyone who missed it, a video of the lecture can be found below, and we’ll provide a link to all of the spring lectures once the series comes to a close.
