The official pictures from the RSA's 2013 Benjamin Franklin Medal ceremony - presented to Walter Isaacson in New York City.

 

The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.

 

The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.

 

Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

Lepore signed copies of her book.

 

Historian Jill Lepore explored the extraordinary, overlooked life of Jane Franklin, sister of Benjamin Franklin, in a discussion of her new book Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin.

 

Jane Franklin was a passionate reader, a gifted writer, and a shrewd political observer like her older brother. While he was rich and famous, she was poor and obscure. Yet Jane was a constant presence and influence in her brother’s life.

This is actually the grave of Ben Franklin's parents but many tourist mistakenly think Ben is buried here - he's buried in Philadelphia.

Benjamin Franklin nutcracker at the Steubenville Nutcracker Village in Steubenville, Ohio.

Fresh coins from the foundry. :)

September 18, 2010

 

I was supposed to use these coins to buy iced-tea yesterday after lunch. I kept it instead because it was shiny.

The award dinner was made possible in part by the generosity of members of the Benjamin Franklin Medal Committee.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the RSA-US Challenge Fund and RSA-US Student Design Awards Program, two foundation blocks of the core initiatives of the RSA in the United States. Both of these programs are going into their second year, and both have an impressive track record of inspiring and empowering young social innovators – perhaps among them a future Benjamin Franklin Medalist.

 

The Benjamin Franklin Medal has a rich history dating back to its inaugural year of 1956, the 250th anniversary of Franklin’s birth and the 200th anniversary of his membership to the RSA. It is awarded to individuals, groups and organizations who have made profound efforts to forward social progress in areas closely linked to the RSA’s agenda. Winners over the years have included General Colin Powell, Senator George Mitchell, Dame Judi Dench, Peter Ustinov, Margot Fonteyn, and David Attenborough. Long time Fellows will remember the Medal presentation to William Hewlett under the stars at Menlo College; or the moving speech given by UK Ambassador to the UN Sir Jeremy Greenstock at the event honoring Phil Lader just a few weeks after 9/11.

 

Each celebration is unique, and every medalist inspires us in a different way.

This was taken at the Old North Church at their 18th century printing press exhibit. This plate is a replica of the one originally designed by Ben Franklin during the French and Indian War. It's a cool exhibit to check out if you're in Boston.
