Behold, America: A History of ‘America First’ Noson gyda Sarah Churchwell An Evening with Sarah Churchwell

Nos Iau 23 Ionawr Thursday 23 January 7.30pm Theatr Bryn Terfel £12/£10 myfyrwyr ac o dan 18oed students and under 18s Ymunwch â ni ar gyfer mewnwelediad arbennig gan yr awdur Sarah Churchwell i hanes ‘America First’, hoff slogan Donald Trump a’i gefnogwyr. Er fod y farn boblogaidd yn priodoli’r cymal i Charles Lindbergh ac ‘America First Committee’ ymynysol 1940-1941, mewn difrif mae gan yr ymadroddiad hanes llawer hirach a thywyllach, stori o gynhenidiaeth a’r Ku Klux Klan, o ddiffynnaeth ‘Americaniaeth 100%’ ac ymynysoldeb, ac o ffasgiaeth brodorol y mae America yn parhau i gymryd arni ‘na all ddigwydd yma’.

Join author Sarah Churchwell for a fascinating insight into the history of ‘America First’, a favourite slogan of Donald Trump and his supporters. Although popular wisdom attributes the phrase to Charles Lindbergh and the isolationist ‘America First Committee’ of 1940-1941, in fact the expression has a longer, darker history than that, a story of nativism and the Ku Klux Klan, of protectionism, ‘100% Americanism,’ and isolationism, and of a homegrown fascism that America continues to pretend ‘can’t happen here.’
