WINSTON S. CHURCHILL SYMPOSIUM:

Saturday, March 18

7:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.
BB's Stage Door Canteen

A partnered program between The National WWII Museum and The Churchill Society of New Orleans

A well-attended Museum event since 2011, the Winston S. Churchill Symposium is a daylong program that draws people from around the country to learn about the man who was voted "The Greatest Briton of the 20th Century." While World War II is the Museum's primary focus, Churchill's long and illustrious life and career allow for each year's program to span beyond the war years, either by highlighting his formidable younger years or by discussing the influence he had in the postwar era.
