Beyond Charlottesville
  • Date: Thursday, February 27, 2020
  • Time: 7:00 pm
  • Location: William G. McGowan Theater

Governor Terry McAuliffe will discuss his recent book, Beyond Charlottesville. The book tells the behind-the-scenes story of the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville and shows how the violence that occurred there can be prevented from happening again. Joining Governor McAuliffe on stage will be journalist Sam Fulwood III, senior fellow for Politics and Elections at American Progress, former members of Congress Gary Franks, Albert Wynn, and others. The discussion will focus on what history teaches us about coming together as a nation. A book signing will follow the program.

Presented in partnership with the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress.
