The 10th annual California Masonic Symposium, “Masonry, Military and the Emergence of American Democracy,” will be held June 5 in San Francisco.
The symposium will be held at the San Francisco Scottish Rite Center.
The symposium will present a portrait of Masonry around the time of the American Revolution – including how it influenced military leaders, why it was criticized by Thomas Jefferson, and how the fraternal experience changed after the war.
Presenters will include:
Henry Wilson Coil Lecturer Dr. Steven C. Bullock, professor of United States history at Worchester Polytechnic Institute and author of “Revolutionary Brotherhood: Freemasonry and the Transformation of the American Social Order, 1730-1840”
Matthew Crow, graduate student in American history at the University of California, Los Angeles and co-developer of UCLA course “Freemasonry, Civil Society, and American Democracy”
Dr. Jessica L. Harland-Jocobs, associate professor at the University of Florida and author of “How did military lodges change after the American Revolution?”
