Each year, Time magazine selects the person who had the most influence on events during the preceding 12 months. Five historians were asked who they believed Time would have selected as the Person of the Year in 1865.

In this segment, Elizabeth Brown Pryor presented her argument for Clara Barton and responded to questions from members of the audience. During this segment the winner was also announced.

The Museum of the Confederacy’s 2015 Symposium, cosponsored by the Library of Virginia and the American Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar, was held at the Library of Virginia.

This event took place about six weeks before Elizabeth Brown Pryor died in an April 13, 2015, car accident in Richmond, Virginia. close
