Traveling Exhibits @ Delta College Library: Alexander Hamilton: 8/28/2023 - 9/24/2023

Alexander Hamilton: Immigrant, Patriot, Visionary

This exhibit will be on display at Delta College Library from 8/25/23 to 9/22/23 as part of our annual Constitution Day Celebration. 

This exhibition examines Hamilton’s central role during the Revolutionary War and Founding period in creating the economic, constitutional, social, journalistic, political, and foreign policy templates for modern America. Using reproductions from the Gilder Lehrman Collection and the Library of the New-York Historical Society, and drawing on recent scholarship about Alexander Hamilton, this traveling exhibition helps students learn that Hamilton was a statesman and visionary whose life shaped the America we live in two hundred years after his death.
