We’ll be joined by Bethanee Bemis, a public historian and museum specialist in the Division of Political and Military History at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, who will discuss how Walt Disney cemented its association with the "American Way" – with a little Disney diplomacy and a whole lot of Mickey Mouse morale.
