The Temple presents Nancy MacLean author of “Democracy in Chains” Tuesday, August 25 th , 7:00 pm

Duke History Professor and author of “Democracy in Chains” Nancy MacLean will speak at The Temple via Zoom. A spiritual/religious discussion of “Democracy in Chains” is topical in the midst of the new COVID-19 reality and the protests for racial justice. This book reveals how certain libertarian ideas are being advanced to shackle our democracy so that it cannot respond to the will of the majority but instead is concentrating power among those who seek to rig the system to serve their interests.
