Each will feature a live Q&amp;A with presenters, hosted by Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus William B. Crawley, Great Lives founder and director.<\/p>\n<p>Bringing in outside biographers isn\u2019t an option due to the pandemic, but the 2021 season displays the research of \u201cour own outstanding scholars in the Mary Washington community,\u201d said Crawley, who tapped current and retired faculty to deliver lectures.<\/p>\n<p>Great Lives kicks off on Jan. 19, with UMW Museums Executive Director Scott Harris providing illuminating insight into the lives of Presidents George Washington and James Monroe. Born just miles apart, these Virginians both heroically crossed the frigid waters of the Delaware River \u2013 in separate boats, contrary to the famous painting \u2013 during the American Revolution. But in time, their relationship turned icy, and they often feuded over the direction of the new nation they had both helped build. Their \u201crevolutionary rift\u201d will be at the center of Harris\u2019 talk.<\/p>\n<p>Offering both historical and geographical diversity, other subjects include General Douglas MacArthur, Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, playwright Lillian Hellman, and sociologists and Black rights activists Anna Julia Cooper and W.E.B.
