SUMMARY:Film Screening:  "In Order to Be Free"
DESCRIPTION:Mississippi University for Women presents “In Order To be Free (1754-1775)\,” the first episode from the new Ken Burns documentary\, The American Revolution. \n​This episode covers the period from May 1754 through May 1775\, during which time political grievances and revolutionary ideas ferment. The growing tensions between the American colonists and the British government over issues of land\, taxes\, and sovereignty culminate in the outbreak of armed conflict at Lexington and Concord. What begins as a political clash grows into a bloody struggle that will engage more than two dozen nations and forever change the world.​ Learn more about the episode\, the key players\, and critical documents at PBS. \n​The entire documentary is 6 episodes total with each episode running approximately 2 hours in length. The W will show all episodes throughout 2026. \n​Admission is free and open to the public.​ \n​For more information\, call the MUW Department of History\, Political Science\, and Geography at (662) 329-7390.
