The Mason-Dixon Line: An Enduring Boundary in American History
Delaware Humanities speaker, Mike Dixon will be back to delve into the fascinating and complex history of the Mason-Dixon Line - an enduring boundary that is deeply etched into the American landscape and our nation's collective memory. Dixon will explore the original story of the Mason-Dixon Line, which began as a survey aimed at resolving a contentious territorial dispute over royal land grants. He will also touch on how the line's significance has evolved over time and its lasting influence on popular culture.
Mike Dixon is a speaker who never makes you feel like you are at a "lecture". He makes you feel like you are sitting in someone's living room talking about an interesting topic and part of the conversation. Dixon's presentation is underwritten by a grant from Delaware Humanities.
