About the Event
We’ve all heard “a government for the people by the people.” But what does this really mean?
Join Morven and the Princeton Public Library for the fifth and final program in the So You Think You Know Civics? series. This series of free public programs unpacks big questions about the past and present of the U.S. government, and how we can make change in our democracy.
This event is hybrid – held both in-person in Morven’s Stockton Education Center and virtually via Zoom webinar. Q&A for live and virtual attendees will follow the talk. A webinar link will be shared with virtual ticket holders upon registration. A recording of the event will be shared following the program.
So You Think You Know Civics? is supported by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
