WHO: Christopher Cox, Author, American attorney, and politician who served as chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a 17-year Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, and member of the White House staff in the Reagan Administration.
WHAT: Book Talk: In Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn, Christopher Cox offers a panoramic reassessment of Wilson's life and his controversial role in the movements for racial equality and women’s suffrage. Wilson’s decades of opposition to the 19th Amendment, his segregation of the federal workforce, and his sympathy for Jim Crow laws deeply influenced the course of American history. By exploring these aspects in detail, Cox not only provides a fresh perspective on Wilson's presidency but also honors the unsung heroes who fought tirelessly for justice and equality.
WHERE: WWPL Archives and Research Center, 235 E Beverley St. Staunton
WHEN: Tuesday, November 12 at 7:00 PM
This talk will be in person and via Zoom.
The author’s latest book, Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn will be sold at the event.
