SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: David O. Stewart
DESCRIPTION:The Democracy We Must Keep: Why the Ideas that Built America Still Matter with David O. Stewart\nREGISTER & SUBMIT QUESTIONS HERE \nvia Digital Livestream or on Demand \nJoin us as we chat with award-winning historian David O. Stewart about his newest work\, The Democracy We Must Keep\, and the question he explores throughout the book: What did America’s founders say about democracy\, and can we remain true to their vision for America? \nTwo hundred fifty years ago\, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies\, but on ideas where the people ruled. \nIn The Democracy We Must Keep\, historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry’s thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution. \nAbout the Author: \nDavid O. Stewart has published eleven award-winning and best-selling books of history and historical novels. In 2023\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Washington Independent Review of Books. His most recent fictional series\, the Overstreet Saga\, is inspired by family stories his mother told. He lives in Maryland with the light of his life\, Nancy Floreen; they have three children and six grandchildren.
