In The Democracy We Must Keep\, h istorian David O. Stewart takes readers inside nine key documents that sha ped the formation of the United States -- from Patrick Henry's thunderous cry for liberty to Thomas Paine's incisive denunciation of one-man rule\, to the Constitution's careful design of a government chosen by the people with limits on officials holding power\, to George Washington's stirring F arewell Address\, which warned Americans to protect their rights from the schemes of those who crave power. Stewart will discuss more details of the book and the fascinating history of the ideas that informed the creation of the United States. \;

The talk will be followed by Q+A and book-signing. There will be several copies of the book available for free while supplies last. \;
