Come and hear the story of America, from the founding to today, as told by expert historians and prolific authors! The 2026 NLCC will weave a diverse tapestry of the stories that make us who we are as Americans today. These are stories of hope and resilience, stories of perseverance and bravery, stories of ordinary people who took a stand and fought hard for the freedoms that we enjoy today.
