Abstract
We are at the mid-point of the three hundredth anniversary year of Franklin's birth. It may seem to some of you that this celebration has been going on for a very long time. But believe me, we are only partially done. The massive exhibition that we developed to mark this occasion will soon begin its travels around the United States, and eventually to France. As of this day almost two hundred thousand people will have visited the Tercentenary's exhibition here at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, and it's safe to say that a million or so will see it by the end of its travels in March 2008. So, this seems like a good opportunity to ruminate on the cultural work of this anniversary, side by side with the last great celebration of Franklin, in 1956. [1st paragraph]
