Lucy K. ’26 Makes History as Gilder Lehrman Scholar of the Week
On Sunday, September 22, Lucy K. ’26 was the first Archer student named the History Scholar of the Week by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
Every week, the Gilder Lehrman Institute broadcasts a program called Book Breaks, in which they interview a U.S. historian about their recent work and students are invited to submit Q&A questions. During the Book Break interview on Sunday, Lucy’s question was chosen. She asked Lindsay Chervinksy, author of “Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic” about Abigail Adams' influence on her husband's decision-making during his presidency.
Lucy and Archer were named during the presentation.
