SUMMARY:Democracy in Our Time: A Discussion of Democracy Awakening
DESCRIPTION:This month\, we’ll discuss Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America by acclaimed historian Heather Cox Richardson. A New York Times bestseller and widely praised for its clarity and insight\, this work explores the historical roots of America’s current political climate and the growing threats to democratic institutions. Drawing on over 150 years of U.S. history from the Founding Fathers to the January 6 insurrection\, Richardson traces how political rhetoric\, misinformation\, and power struggles have shaped the nation’s trajectory. With the same accessible style that brings millions of readers to her newsletter Letters from an American\, she lays out where we’ve been\, how we got here\, and what’s at stake today. Copies of the book are available at the first-floor information desk. Please join us for this important conversation.
