Whether you're a history buff or just trying to make sense of today's headlines, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
About this Event

What does history actually tell us about the moment we're living in? Join three of America's most compelling historians — Elizabeth Hinton, Joanne Freeman, and Beverly Gage — for an eye-opening conversation about democracy, power, and resilience. Drawing on centuries of American history, they'll explore how democracies have been tested before, what we can learn from those moments, and why understanding the past has never felt more urgent. Whether you're a history buff or just trying to make sense of today's headlines, this is a conversation you won't want to miss. Moderated by Lucy Nalpathanchil from CT Public. Following this talk Books will be available for purchase and signing through our partners at Possible Futures.
