UCLA historian Lynn Hunt has received an award for her involvement in a website that steers high school and college students through hundreds of original texts, images, maps and even songs from the French Revolution. Along with a George Mason University historian, Hunt served as author of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity: Exploring the French Revolution at http://chnm.gmu.edu/revolution/.
