Ohio Northern University’s Phi Beta Delta honor society for international scholars presents “Kossuth’s Message” in the Dicke Forum on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
“Kossuth’s Message” is a historical re-enactment of Hungarian statesman Lajos Kossuth’s tour of the United States in 1851-52. Kossuth, the president of revolutionary Hungary in the late 1840s, visited the U.S. seeking support for Hungarian independence from the Habsburg monarchy. His tour included a number of stops in Ohio, including an address to the Ohio legislature.
