The author of And There Was Light comes to DC on Thurs., Oct. 27th, at 7 p.m.!
In And There Was Light, Jon Meacham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and bestselling author chronicles the life of Abraham Lincoln, charting how — and why — he confronted secession, threats to democracy, and the tragedy of slavery to expand the possibilities of America.
In a nation shaped by the courage of the enslaved of the era and by the brave witness of Black Americans, Lincoln’s story illustrates the ways and means of politics in a democracy, the roots and durability of racism, and the capacity of conscience to shape events.
Meacham will be in conversation with Clint Smith, a staff writer at the Atlantic and the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller How the Word Is Passed.
At Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, 600 I St., NW, Washington, DC. Learn more here.
