This week at the Aspen Institute, we hosted Carnegie Corporation of New York President Vartan Gregorian for a roundtable discussion of philanthropy. And we kicked off the Aspen Around Town series at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, where four experts discussed “The Civil War and American Art“. Read more about the panelists and see photos from the event here.

Documentarian Ric Burns, filmmaker Edward Zwick, and historian Harold Holzer discuss why the Civil War continues to fascinate us 150 years later.
