Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol: The Explosive Story of M19, America’s First Female Terrorist Group
  • Date: Thursday, January 16, 2020
  • Time: 7:00 am
  • Location: William G. McGowan Theater and streaming on YouTube

In Tonight We Bombed the U.S. Capitol, author William Rosenau tells a shocking, never-before-told story from American history. Rosenau takes a close look at the hidden history of M19, the first and only domestic terrorist group founded and led by women, and their violent fight against racism, sexism, and what they viewed as Ronald Reagan’s imperialistic vision for America. A book signing follows the program.
