Book Talk and Signing

The Hotchkiss Library of Sharon will host a book talk and signing with James Traub, author of "True Believer: Hubert Humphrey’s Quest for a More Just America" on Sunday, March 10, at 4 p.m. Traub reintroduces the largely forgotten but highly significant vice president and U.S. senator, Hubert Humphrey, whose shattering defeat in the 1968 presidential election cast a shadow over his achievements. In 1948 Humphrey defied segregationists and forced the Democratic party to commit itself to civil rights and as a senator in 1964, he made good on that commitment by shepherding the Civil Rights Act through Congress. Books will be available for purchase. This program is free, but registration is required at: hotchkisslibrary.libcal.com/event/12044393
