American Identity Special: Better Know a State

  • America House Kyiv 6 Mykoly Pymonenka Street Kyiv, 02000 Ukraine (map)

This Thursday we'll start looking at American history and culture through one of the distinguising figures of American life, the state! You all know that America has 50 states, but what is the function of the state in relation to the federal government? What rights and responsibilities do states have? Why do some states have square borders and others seem jagged and weird (we're looking at you, West Virginia)? Join us this week to discuss all this and more!

The American Identity series is dedicated to enhancing understanding of American history and identity, spanning from pre-colonial times to the contemporary era.

📅 When? November 19th, 7 PM.

📍 Where? Online, you will receive an email with the Zoom link on the date of the event.

We’ll debate whether personality is inherited or learned, and we’ll find out who has the most famous family quote. No phones and no preparation needed, just bring your stories, your laughter, and your opinions!
