Panel Discussion—The Age of Revolutions and Its Lasting Impacts on South Florida

Program participants will receive complimentary admission and expedited entry to view the exhibition, Freedom Plane National Tour: Documents That Forged A Nation, following the program.

Revolutions have shaped the modern world—reshaping governments, economies, and cultures far beyond the moments in which they occurred. This panel discussion explores the enduring legacy of revolutionary movements, beginning with the American Revolution and extending to revolutions in the Caribbean, Latin America, and beyond, and how their ideas, conflicts, and migrations continue to influence South Florida today.

Through historical context and contemporary perspectives, panelists will examine how revolutionary ideals such as liberty, citizenship, resistance, and self-determination have shaped Miami’s evolving political, social, and cultural landscape. The conversation will highlight themes of exile, identity, and civic engagement, inviting audiences to consider how global and American revolutionary movements have left lasting marks on our local community.

Presented in conjunction with the National Archives’ Freedom Plane National Tour: Documents That Forged a Nation, a traveling exhibition marking the 250th anniversary of the United States, on view at Museum of Miami June 20^th through July 5^th.
