Speakers Schedule

It is my pleasure to announce the scheduling of the 2013 Stephen Dill Lee Institute in St. Augustine, Florida, at the Renaissance Hotel on February 1-2.
Hosting the event will be the Florida Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. It is the aim of the Institute to examine the ramifications of the Emancipation Proclamation from an academic perspective which truly differs from prevailing contemporary mainstream dogma..

The 2013 Stephen Dill Lee Institute will be held in one of the most famous and historic Southern cities, St. Augustine, Florida, at the fabulous Renaissance World Golf Village and Resort on February 1-2, 2013. The hotel offers rates of $119 per night with free parking. The hotel is the home of the World Golf Hall of Fame and offers two championship golf courses, The King & Bear and The Slammer & Squire, for our attendees who might wish to play a round or two while not attending our lectures.

Please join us and our outstanding faculty for a one of a kind academic experience on February 1-2, 2013. We will soon have our website up and running with event and hotel information. Thanks for supporting our efforts.
