Political history curator to discuss 2024 campaign and election at American Legion meeting, Feb. 12
Dr. Claire Jerry, curator of the division of political history at the National Museum of American History, will discuss the 2024 election season at the next meeting of American Legion Post 20. Jerry will address how the museum recorded and interpreted the events of the 2024 electoral season and how those events are reflected in exhibits.
The luncheon meeting takes place at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 12 in the McClendon Room at the National Press Club. All Press Club members are invited. The Club asks that Post 20 combine everything into one bill. Attendees are asked to bring cash. (The buffet costs $23 plus tax.) Cash collected in excess of the bill will be given to the wait staff as a tip. Guests are welcome.
American Legion Post 20 has been affiliated with the National Press Club for more than a century. The post was founded at the suggestion of famed World War I General John J. Pershing, who was an associate member of the Press Club at the time.
The meeting will be carried via Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. Zoom information is below:
