Early Access Screening: “Voices and Visions” from Ken Burns’ upcoming documentary, The American Revolution.
12:30-1:30pm
Hays-Heighe House, Room 101

Hays-Heighe House & the HCC Library are pleased to announce that we have early access to screening reels entitled “Voices and Visions” from Ken Burns’ upcoming 6-part documentary series, The American Revolution, which will premier on PBS on November 16.
“Voices and Visions” showcases art, music, and literature from the Revolutionary Era, and includes a segment on the Homespun Movement (a focus of the current exhibit at Hays-Heighe House). We are able to offer early access thanks to a grant we received from WETA associated with Ken Burns’ new documentary series. We were one of just two libraries in Maryland – and 40 libraries nationwide – to receive this grant, which also supports programming that explores daily life in the Revolutionary Era, such as our hands-on demonstrations related to textile production (spinning, weaving).
Corporate funding for THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was provided by Bank of America. Major funding was provided by The Better Angels Society and its members Jeannie and Jonathan Lavine with the Crimson Lion Foundation; and the Blavatnik Family Foundation. Major funding was also provided by David M. Rubenstein; The Robert D. and Patricia E. Kern Family Foundation; Lilly Endowment Inc.; and the following Better Angels Society members: Eric and Wendy Schmidt; Stephen A. Schwarzman; and Kenneth C. Griffin with Griffin Catalyst. Additional support for THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was provided by: The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations; The Pew Charitable Trusts; Gilbert S. Omenn and Martha A. Darling; Park Foundation; and the following Better Angels Society members: Gilchrist and Amy Berg; Perry and Donna Golkin; The Michelson Foundation; Jacqueline B. Mars; Kissick Family Foundation; Diane and Hal Brierley; John H. N. Fisher and Jennifer Caldwell; John and Catherine Debs; The Fullerton Family Charitable Fund; Philip I. Kent; Gail Elden; Deborah and Jon Dawson; David and Susan Kreisman; The McCloskey Family Charitable Trust; Becky and Jim Morgan; Carol and Ned Spieker; Mark A. Tracy; and Paul and Shelley Whyte. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was made possible, in part, with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
