Bryan Le Beau talked about how although the facts of President Ulysses S. Grant’s life have not changed since his death in 1885, his image in the national memory has changed over the years and what accounts for those changes. Topics included how Grant’s reputation relates to that of Robert E. Lee and memories of the American Civil War. He responded to questions from members of the audience. This program on Ulysses S. Grant’s 189th birthday was part of the Lee and Grant speaker series coinciding with the “Lee and Grant” exhibition at the National Archives at Kansas City. close
