As Americans, we hope that our leaders are wise, honest, and responsive to the public will. Yet, history has shown that is not always the case. We’ll look at some of the lesser-trod byways and shadowy corners in American Presidential history during the following sessions: Campaign Promises: Broken and Unfulfilled; Third Parties and the Rise of the Secret Ballot; The Dark Secrets of Disabled Presidents; and The Stain that Haunts Us; Racism and the Presidency.
Offered in cooperation with the Ramsey County Library with support from Friends of the Ramsey County Libraries. Moderated by Judy Woodward, history coordinator.
