US@250: Why Democracy?

Meet us at the Manchester Millyard Museum to help observe the great American experiment! As part of our celebration of the nation’s 250th anniversary through the NH Humanities Council’s US@250 program, the Manchester City Library has partnered with the Manchester Millyard Museum to host an examination of the concept of democracy, led by Dr. Joshua Duclos. For those who believe in the value of democracy (its efficacy and its morality), it is important to analyze, articulate, and explore the arguments in which democracy is grounded.
