“The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels” by Jon Meacham will be the second book discussed in the Well-Read Citizen series being co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters and Crawfordsville Public Library at 6 p.m. today in the Donnelley Room of the CDPL. The public is encouraged to attend.
“In this timely and revealing book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author John Meacham helps us understand the present moment in American politics and life by looking back at critical times in our history when hope overcame division and fear. With clarity and purpose, Meacham explores contentious periods and how presidents and citizens came together to defeat the forces of anger, intolerance, and extremism.”
The book series is a part of the 100th anniversary celebration of women receiving the right to vote. Future sessions will be March 23 and May 25.
