Tuesday, February 4th 2020 at 2:00 p.m. “America, Democracy, and 2020: The Crucible,” with David Domke in the Mt Baker Room
This is the first in a series of 3 lectures to be presented at Skyline in the Mt Baker Room.
Lecture Series Overview: The American experiment in democracy is an idea. For nearly 250 years, it has been enacted in some ways that are inspiring and amazing, and it has been enacted in some ways that are oppressive, violent, and devastating. But still, the ideals call to us. Today, the United States has begun one of the most important presidential elections in its history. This lecture series will examine the political landscape as the election begins and the Democratic Party presidential nomination process — both the nature of the voting and the hurdles the candidates seek to clear. Lectures planned for spring will focus on the Republican Party.
These dates and times are published in the CEG Calendar also.
