Join us for a Two Lights for Tomorrow lighting ceremony at the Felts House. Two Lights for Tomorrow is a nationwide initiative to commence the celebration of America 250, the 250th birthday of the United States of America.
The famous ride of Paul Revere occurred overnight on April 18 – 19, 1775. Two Lights for Tomorrow originated out of multi-state collaboration at A Common Cause to All in Williamsburg and uses the imagery of that shining light 250 years ago as a uniting call to action today for our fellow citizens, no matter where they are, to commemorate and remind ourselves that our history is about working together for a better tomorrow.
At it’s heart it is a call across the country, in private homes, local communities, and statehouses alike, for two lights to be displayed to remind us all of the importance to come together to form a more perfect union.
The Museum is hosting a brief ceremony at the Felts House, next to the KY Building, with remarks, a proclamation and the ceremonial lighting of two lights. The Felts House is a fitting location for the ceremony as it was built by American Revolution veteran Archibald Felts.
Lights will remain on April 2-30th

On Thursday, April 3 at 4 PM, attorney and WKU History/Legal Studies alumnus Trip Carpenter will speak on “Preparing for Law School and Building a Meaningful Career.” His talk will be in HCIC Multipurpose Room/1011 (the large back room in the Honors College building).
Trip Carpenter graduated as Scholar of the College in May 2014 with a History major and Legal Studies minor (one of the first graduates from our then-new minor). His Honors thesis, “Where’s Jonesville? How the Destruction of Jonesville Left a Legacy of Housing Discrimination in Bowling Green” was the Honors Thesis of the Year in 2014 and provided much of the scholarly basis for the Kentucky Museum’s current Jonesville exhibit.
Since graduation, Trip earned his MA from Columbia University in Human Rights Studies in 2016 and earned his JD from New York University School of Law in May 2022, where he served as an editor of the Law Review and graduated third in his class. In between, he worked in the Office of the Mayor of New York City as a procurement analyst in the Women/Minorities Business Enterprise Program and clerked for the national ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project. Currently, Trip serves as a Judicial Law Clerk for the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City and spent last year as a Judicial Law Clerk for the United States District Court for the southern district of New York in Brooklyn.
Students in any majors/minors interested in applying to law school or thinking about a career in law will benefit greatly from his talk and advice.
