I am pleased to be joining the fall line up of speakers at Freeport Speech, the speaker series held at the Meeting House Arts in downtown Freeport, Maine. I’ll be speaking on How to Save U.S. Democracy, a topic I’ve been working on at the Pell Center informed by my recent books American Nations, American Character, and Union.
The event kicks off at 7pm and information on obtaining tickets — proceeds to charity — are at Freeport Speech’s website.
