The Time Trial of John Brown casts audience members in the role of jurors who decide how John Brown should be remembered in American history. Check out the video to get a sense of the process behind the show and why we're so interested in getting people talking about history.
This video was created by Kent Chadwick, in partnership with the American University School of Communication. The Museum's award-winning historical theater educational programs are made possible through Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Very informative, and interesting. I had never herd of John Brown before, but it makes you think a bout the question of morality.
