Museum of the American Revolution’s Post

Just a week away! The Museum is pleased to announce that its sixth Lenfest Spirit of the American Revolution Award will be presented on Thursday, June 12, to internationally acclaimed actor, producer, and musician Wes Studi. The award recognizes distinguished and significant achievement in advancing public awareness and understanding of history and of its relevance in the ongoing American experiment. For decades, Studi has moved audiences with unforgettable performances in “Dances with Wolves,” “The Last of the Mohicans,” “Geronimo: An American Legend,” and “Heat” — powerful character portrayals that forever changed a Hollywood stereotype. Breaking new ground, Studi brought fully developed Native American characters to the screen, and then went on to highlight the success of Native Americans in non-traditional roles. 🏅 Studi will be awarded on June 12 for the Lenfest Spirit of the American Revolution Award Gala.
