Description

In-person & on Zoom

Join us each month for one year as we explore 12 influential Presidents through selected biographies spanning from George Washington through John F. Kennedy.  

April Selection: 

We will be exploring No Ordinary Time: Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt - The Home Front in World War II by Doris Kearns Goodwin, winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Doris Kearns Goodwin delves into the relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and how it shaped the nation while steering it through the Great Depression and the outset of World War II.

About the Series

When selecting biographies, we decided an author should only appear once on our list and that their work should be accessible. Each month, read the selected biography then join us as historian, author and teacher Peter Vermilyea leads the discussion exploring Presidential personalities, opportunities and failures, challenges, and legacies. Through lecture and discussion, we will delve deeper into our Presidential and shared history.
