The President’s Anniversary Lecture by French-American Foundation President Nicholas Dungan given at the New-York Historical Society on May 21, 2008. The speech celebrates dual anniversaries. One is the anniversary of the French-American Foundation, whose establishment was announced by President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing on the seventeenth of May 1976 in the garden of the French Embassy in Washington DC at a state dinner in honor of the American president. The other commemoration is the four-hundredth anniversary of the founding of a permanent French settlement on the American continent at Québec by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Nicholas Dungan uses this occasion to reflect on the state of the French-American relationship against the backdrop of four hundred years of France in America, inviting listeners and readers to reflect on the French and American notions of nationality and ask whether they are well suited to the challenges we face in the twenty-first century.
