Good Afternoon Everyone,
I would like to make the list aware of a rare opportunity to be in the audience for a live version of the radio program "BackStory with the American History Guys" at the Virginia Historical Society at 6:00 p.m. this Thursday, May 20th. It is free and open to the public.
The subject on Thursday will be "Paying Up: The History of Taxation
From the Stamp Act of 1765 to the Tea Party Movement of 2010"
Here is the pdf flyer for the event:

All best,
