Established in 1693, the College of William and Mary feted Lafayette on October 20, 1824 with a special surprise while on his Grand Tour of America.
After welcoming Lafayette 1824 style the day before, we returned to Yorktown for the big parade celebrating the French-American Alliance victory.
At the end of the day when I plugged in my code from my lanyard, I found a surveillance video of my cautiously walking through Berlin. 😉
One of the amazing things I’ve discovered has been Lafayette’s goal for freedom for all people, which grew his work in the abolitionist movement.

The amazing story of General Lafayette and the spy whom he helped achieve freedom, becoming his namesake after the American Revolution.
