Mau VanDuren, the author of Many Heads and Many Hands: James Madison’s Search for a More Perfect Union, will speak on Tuesday, June 28 at 7:00 pm at the Marion Music Hall. Mr. VanDuren, an independent historian, is from the Netherlands and immigrated to the United States in 1982. In his book, he discusses that the Pilgrims spent 12 years in the Netherlands before leaving on the ship Mayflower and arriving in Plymouth in 1620. Mr. VanDuren will discuss the development of law and democracy in America and the individuals whose ideas guided the drafters of our Constitution.
The lecture will be illustrated with PowerPoint slides followed by a question and answer session. The lecture is free and open to the public.
