Tuesday, October 15, 2024 - 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

MUB Granite State Room


<p class="MsoNormal">The missing ingredient in American democracy is political equality, the idea that all citizens are of equal weight, even if they aren't of equal voice. It's not just that political equality is essential if Americans ever hope to realize the potential of their democracy, but that the absence of political equality from our institutions is part of what has warped our political system into something which struggles to express our democratic values.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">"What’s the matter with American Democracy"<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Rutman Distinguished Lecture on the American Presidency<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Jamelle Bouie, a columnist for the New York Times and former political analyst for CBS News<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">October 15, 2024<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">7:00 - 8:30 pm <o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Granite State Room, Memorial Union Building, Durham, NH<o:p></o:p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Register to attend online&nbsp;</p>
