SUMMARY:Thomas Paine's Common Sense
DESCRIPTION:The next monthly meeting of the Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides (APT) will be held on Wednesday\, April 8 at 7 pm. Local historian\, Jim Seagrave-Daly\, will present a lively discussion of Thomas Paine’s revolutionary contribution that persuaded Americans to support independence. \nOn January 9\, 1776\, the most important pamphlet in American history (Common Sense) was published by an unknown author whose life had been full of failure and disappointment. Known as the “English Voltaire” and “The first man of the Revolution”\, Thomas Paine made a forceful case for separation from England when many Americans considered such a move foolish and fatal. \nJim Segrave-Daly\, also known as The Local History Geek\, is an accomplished speaker specializing in American History with national experience leading lectures in person and virtually. With deep family connections to the American Revolution\, Civil War\, and World War I\, he is passionate about connecting with audiences and making history come alive through engaging storytelling and interactive presentations. \nCome early for dinner and drinks! The meeting will be in-person at Philly’s Gourmet Steaks\, 114 Market Street\, upstairs\, and livestreamed on Zoom. The Zoom link will be available in the APT Tour Talk newsletter the week of the meeting; non-members should contact Marianne Ruane president@phillyguides.org no later than 5 pm the day of the meeting to receive the link. A recording will be available on the APT YouTube page for a month following the talk. \nAPT meetings are open to aspiring and working tour guides as well as anyone with an interest in Philadelphia-focused history. Attend one meeting for free and then it is $60 to join the association for the year or $10 per monthly meeting in-person event. Zoom meetings are free. Please join us for convivial company\, good food\, fascinating presentations\, and lively discussions! \n\n\n
