## Resource

America turns 250, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is celebrating with its biggest history event yet: the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues. This year’s theme, “We the People,” dives deep into how global influences shaped the U.S., from Caribbean insurgents to Indigenous nations. Five powerhouse speakers—including a Johns Hopkins professor revealing how the world fueled the American Revolution, a bestselling author on revolutionary ambition, and an actor portraying Douglass—will ignite conversations across campus and beyond. Plus, free storytelling nights and talks with NPR’s Steve Inskeep promise fresh perspectives on democracy, leadership, and legacy. All events are open to the public—no tickets, no barriers, just history that matters. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
