DESCRIPTION:Along with the World Affairs Council of Charleston\, we are pleased to host acting historian for the Department of State\, John Powers to share about his impressive 34-year career working with government records and the ins and outs of safeguarding national security information. From the declassification of Richard Nixon’s and LBJ’s secret tapes to the work done on the JFK Assassination Records Collection\, Powers will share stories about his time at the National Archives\, the Department of State\, and the White House\, in documenting U.S. covert action and the history of America’s diplomacy in the Foreign Relations of the United States series. Under his leadership\, the Department has published seven volumes on the foreign policies of the Carter\, Reagan\, and George H.W. Bush administrations. \nThis program is in partnership with the World Affairs Council of Charleston.  \nAbout John Powers \nJohn Powers is a 30-year public servant who joined the State Department in August 2023 to lead the Office of the Historian’s declassification\, publication\, and digital initiatives programs. He has served as the Acting Director of the Office since April 2025. In that role\, he is responsible for leading a staff of 70 historians\, information professionals\, contractors\, and retired/rehired part-time Foreign Service officers. John oversees process reforms that facilitate more cost-effective and efficient publication of the Foreign Relations of the United States series\, the comprehensive and official documentary record of major U.S. foreign policy decisions and significant diplomatic activity that has been published since 1861. Before joining the Department\, John served as the Associate Director for Classification Management in the Information Security Oversight Office at the National Archives and Records Administration. His directorate was responsible for advising Government agencies on policies for classifying\, declassifying\, and safeguarding national security information. Under his leadership\, the Board published five reports to the President\, including A Vision for the Digital Age: Modernization of the U.S. National Security Classification and Declassification System (2020)\, and a report to Congress on the feasibility of declassifying records related to U.S. nuclear weapons testing and cleanup activities in the Marshall Islands.

SUMMARY:Republic and Empire // Andrew O'Shaughnessy
DESCRIPTION:Join us in partnership with the South Carolina Historical Society as we approach our country’s 250th anniversary — we have explored many different angles of the Revolution – those specific to South Carolina\, further narrowed to the Lowcountry\, the thirteen colonies as a whole\, and much\, much more. But what of the Loyalists? Those who didn’t stand up to British rule and supported the empire and its endeavors? We are highly anticipating the return of celebrated author and renowned historian Andrew O’Shaughnessy for his latest\, another perspective on the Revolutionary era – perhaps a more expanded context from what might be more broadly familiar. Joining O’Shaughnessy in conversation will be South Carolina Historical Society CEO\, Elizabeth Chew. \nIf you are unable to attend the event\, but would like to purchase one or more copies\, please visit Buxton Books here. \nPrior to the program\, we invite our Fellows Members to enjoy Happy Hour from 5:00 – 6:00 pm\, downstairs in the Dr. Suzan D. Boyd Fellows Club Lounge.  \nAbout the Book \nAt the time of the American Revolution (1765–83)\, the British Empire had colonies in India\, Africa\, the Caribbean\, the Pacific\, Canada\, Ireland\, and Gibraltar. The thirteen rebellious American colonies accounted for half of the total number of provinces in the British world in 1776. What of the loyal half? Why did some of Britain’s subjects feel so aggrieved that they wanted to establish a new system of government\, while others did not rebel? In this authoritative history\, Trevor Burnard and Andrew Jackson O’Shaughnessy show that understanding the long-term causes of the American Revolution requires a global view. As much as it was an event in the history of the United States\, the American Revolution was an imperial event produced by the upheavals of managing a far-flung set of imperial possessions during a turbulent period of reform. By looking beyond the familiar borders of the Revolution and considering colonies that did not rebel—Quebec\, Nova Scotia\, Bermuda\, India\, the British Caribbean\, Senegal\, and Ireland—Burnard and O’Shaughnessy go beyond the republican\, liberal\, and democratic aspects of the emerging American nation\, providing a broader history that transcends what we think we know about the Revolution. \nAbout the Author \nAndrew O’Shaughnessy is a distinguished historian and Professor of History at the University of Virginia. From 2003 to 2022\, he served as Vice President of The Thomas Jefferson Foundation (Monticello) and led the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies. A dual citizen of Britain and the United States\, O’Shaughnessy completed his undergraduate and doctoral degrees at Oxford University. His illustrious teaching career includes roles at Eton College\, Southern Methodist University\, and the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh\, where he chaired the History department. O’Shaughnessy is the acclaimed author of The Men Who Lost America\, which won eight national awards\, including the George Washington Book Prize and the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Excellence in American History Book Award. His other notable works include An Empire Divided and The Illimitable Freedom of the Human Mind. A Fellow of the Royal Historical Society\, he also serves as an editor of the Jeffersonian America series. O’Shaughnessy has also co-edited The European Friends of the American Revolution\, which was published in 2023. His latest book\, which will be published by Yale early in 2025\, is co-authored with Trevor Burnard\, The American Revolution and the Crisis of the British Empire. O’Shaughnessy’s expertise and contributions make him a leading voice in American history. \nAbout Elizabeth Chew \nDr. Elizabeth Chew became CEO of the South Carolina Historical Society in January 2024. A public historian\, curator\, and educator\, she has worked at museums and historic sites for almost forty years. Prior to arriving in Charleston\, she served as Executive Vice President and Chief Curator at James Madison’s Montpelier in Orange\, Virginia and as Curator at Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello in Charlottesville.\n\nShe received a BA from Yale University\, an MA from the University of London\, and Ph.D. from UNC- Chapel Hill.\nAbout The South Carolina Historical Society \nThe mission of the South Carolina Historical Society is to collect\, preserve\, and share the stories of all South Carolinians and use these stories–from significant historical events to everyday moments–to promote visibility\, understanding\, engagement\, and conversation. The story of South Carolina is the story of America. As such\, it reflects the achievements and the challenges\, the successes and the failures\, of the American experiment. As the only statewide\, private\, non-profit historical organization\, founded in 1855\, the South Carolina Historical Society seeks to be the preeminent interpreter of that history to the broadest possible audience. \nAbout SC 250 \nSC250 Charleston is intended to serve as an umbrella for Charleston-area community organizations\, governmental entities\, and business enterprises interested in conceiving\, building and sponsoring initiatives that commemorate the American Revolution and leading roles played by Charleston’s people and places. This program is sponsored (in part) by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission. SC250 was established by the SC Legislature to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary-Era and highlight the state’s significant role in securing America’s freedom by engaging and inspiring South Carolinians and visitors through heritage tourism\, rural economic impact initiatives\, and educational programs. Contents and opinions do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of SC250\, nor does the mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation by SC250.

SUMMARY:Bond Street REIT Speaker Series // Deepak Srivastava
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first of this year’s Bond Street Series\, focused on the importance of cultural institutions in fostering creative conversation and enhancing opportunities for democratic engagement. Founder of Bond Street REIT\, Michael Reynolds\, will host a rare conversation with Special Guest Deepak Srivastava\, President of Gladstone Institutes in California\, and one of the nation’s leading physicians in the science and technology of stem cell research and opportunities to combat congenital heart disease. \nAbout Deepak Srivastava \nDeepak Srivastava\, MD\, is President of Gladstone Institutes\, a nonprofit biomedical research institute that uses visionary science and technology to overcome disease. He is also a senior investigator and director of the Roddenberry Stem Cell Center at Gladstone. In addition\, he is a professor in the Departments of Pediatrics and Biochemistry and Biophysics\, and the Wilma and Adeline Pirag Distinguished Professor in pediatric developmental cardiology at UC San Francisco (UCSF). Srivastava received his MD from the University of Texas\, then trained in pediatrics at UCSF and in pediatric cardiology at the Children’s Hospital of Harvard Medical School. Before joining Gladstone in 2005\, Srivastava was a professor of pediatrics and molecular biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He became Gladstone’s president in 2018\, and has since been steering the organization toward a new era of convergence between technology and biomedical research. In his lab\, Srivastava investigates the genes responsible for normal heart formation and congenital heart disease\, and harnesses this knowledge to engineer cells that can repair heart damage. Srivastava is a member of the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and the National Academy of Medicine. He served as president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research in 2019–2020. In addition\, Srivastava has co-founded two biotechnology companies\, iPierian Inc. and Tenaya Therapeutics\, where he continues to sit on the board of directors and on the scientific advisory board. Srivastava was recently recognized in the San Francisco Business Times’ Power 100 list for his leadership in business and research in the Bay Area. \nAbout the Bond Street REIT Speaker Series \nOrchestrated by Founder and Chief Executive Officer\, Michael D. Reynolds\, who passionately served as a member of the Board of Trustees and also Treasurer of the Charleston Library Society\, the Bond Street REIT Speaker Series strives to honor the institution’s cultural enrichment\, intellectual exploration\, and literary legacy through a series of lively discussions and thought-provoking lectures. Bond Street is dedicated to preserving the Charleston Library Society’s renowned collection and historical significance\, as an immensely valuable repository of history in the South. Bond Street Real Estate Investment Trust\, headquartered in Charleston\, is a private real estate investment trust uniquely invested in convenience retail centers across ten states in the Southeast. \nIn 1831\, Alexis de Tocqueville toured America and visited Charleston in search of the special ingredient that made America’s democracy so powerful. What he discovered was that the glue that created community and civic discourse was its profoundly thriving cultural institutions. Libraries\, theaters\, museums\, and other cultural spaces served as the foundation for civic engagement and public dialogue. This insight is as relevant today as it was then\, and the Library Society remains vibrant because of this very truth.

SUMMARY:The Revolution's Bravest General
DESCRIPTION:As a Brigadier General in the French Army\, Major General in the American Revolutionary Army and a French-American liaison during a time of incredible upheaval\, German-native Johann de Kalb led an amazing life\, but his legacy is lesser known than Revolutionary counterparts such as the Marquis de Lafayette\, to whom he may have been a mentor. With a focus on these less publicized leaders in the fight for independence\, and thanks to our ongoing partnership with the N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation\, author and historian John Beakes will enlighten us on the lasting impact of General de Kalb during the American Revolution. \nAbout John Beakes \nJohn Beakes graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1966 and served in nuclear submarines until 1974. He then began a career of executive leadership in technology service companies\, from which he retired in 2021. His five books on the Revolutionary War have focused on little-known combat leaders in America’s fight for independence. He co-authored “Cool\, Deliberate Courage: John Eager Howard in the American Revolution” and “‘Light Horse Harry Lee’ in the War for Independence” with Dr. Jim Piecuch. He then completed “Otho Holland Williams in the American Revolution” in 2015 and “De Kalb: One of the Revolutionary War’s Bravest Generals” in 2019. In 2022\, he completed “William Campbell in the American Revolution: Commander of Riflemen at Kings Mountain and Guilford Courthouse.” These books have brought forth the stories of how these largely unknown military leaders made important contributions to the American victory in the Revolutionary War. \nAbout The N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation: \nThe N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation was founded by Klaus Becker\, then Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany to North Carolina. The mission of the Foundation is reflected in its name\, Zeitgeist\, which means the “Spirit of the Time\,” is to inform\, educate\, and foster dialogue about the influence in the Carolinas of the current and historic culture\, arts\, society\, and spirit of Germany and Europe in celebrating their deep-rooted ties to the United States. Its mission is to strengthen transatlantic partnerships through cultural exchange\, business collaboration\, and shared innovation. By connecting communities across North Carolina and Germany\, we foster understanding\, economic opportunity\, and artistic inspiration on both sides of the Atlantic. In recognition of the long-standing German/European-American transatlantic relationship\, the program of the Foundation focuses on the exchange of societal and governmental thought and theory\, art exhibitions\, and cultural and social events. Since its inception in 2014\, The N.C. Zeitgeist Foundation has strongly supported economic development and growth in the Greater Charlotte Region\, including initiatives to brand and promote the Carolinas as a premier US location for international business\, trade\, and investment. \nAbout SC 250 \nSC250 Charleston is intended to serve as an umbrella for Charleston-area community organizations\, governmental entities\, and business enterprises interested in conceiving\, building and sponsoring initiatives that commemorate the American Revolution and leading roles played by Charleston’s people and places. This program is sponsored (in part) by the South Carolina American Revolution Sestercentennial Commission.
