From the glitter of gold in the 1840s to the glow of Silicon Valley screens today, California has been a magnet for dreamers, disruptors, and defining moments. Land of Dreams and Disruption: California’s Defining Milestones takes you on a fast-paced journey through the events that shaped the Golden State—and, in many ways, the nation. Discover how the Gold Rush ignited mass migration, how the rise of Hollywood transformed global culture, how innovation redefined industry, and how social movements sparked change far beyond the West Coast. This lecture unpacks the triumphs, turmoil, and turning points that made California not just a state, but a symbol of ambition and reinvention.
