Lunchtime Lecture Series: Irrepressible Conflicts

For many historians, Senator William Seward’s 1858 “Irrepressible Conflict” speech was the event that ultimately doomed his presidential ambitions. Retired judge Richard Dollinger takes us back into the room where it happened: Rochester’s Corinthian Hall. How did this singular speech change the course of Seward’s career? How did it play on the state and local level? Find out at this Lunchtime Lecture.

This event will take place at the SHM Event Center and is FREE and open to the public.
