We are pleased to announce that on Thursday, November 17 the NSCDA-MA will award the William Hickling Prescott Award for Excellence in Historical Writing jointly to Drs. Joanne Freeman and Heather Cox Richardson. Joanne Freeman is a professor at Yale whose work focuses on the Revolutionary and early Federal periods in American history. Heather Cox Richardson, a professor at Boston College whose focus is the post-Civil War period, is well-known for her blog “Letters to an American.” Together, the historians collaborate on a popular weekly podcast, “Then and Now.”
NSCDA-MA is delighted to be collaborating with the Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) in the presentation of the award. The presentation will take place in person at the MHS headquarters on Boylston Street and is free and open to all Dames and MHS members. The event will begin at 5:30pm with a reception followed by the award presentation at 6pm. Drs. Freeman and Richardson will then address the audience together as they tape their weekly podcast.
