BOSTON - EntSun -- "Two Nations, One Battle: Bunker Hill in British and American Memory" is a special panel discussion exploring the Battle of Bunker Hill from both American and British perspectives. The discussion, which is free and open to all, will include American author of history Nathaniel Philbrick and British historian Dr. Emma Hart, with moderator and public historian Dr. Brooke Barbier. To set the tone for the evening, a musical prelude will be performed by Ken Burns' pianist Jacqueline Schwab, performing several pieces that reflect the popular music of that era, a mix of traditional English and colonial styles, including ballads, dance tunes, and patriotic songs.

The discussion will be held at Bunker Hill Community College (Charlestown campus) on Thursday, June 5, starting at 6:00 pm. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and take part in a broader community conversation following the discussion. This public event promises to offer a compelling reflection on the past—and what it means for us today. Attendees are encouraged to bring their personal books, written by the panelists, for signing.
