About the Event

In 1489 the English poet John Skelton wondered if commoners “were stark raving mad” when they lynched a wealthy nobleman over a political dispute. Certainly, the same question can be asked of Americans today. Our politics has become so polarized, angry, and seemingly irrational that the majority of Americans fear for the survival of democracy itself.  Can history help us understand why United States voters and politicians alike appear to have gone stark raving mad?  Join us for a nonpartisan, civil, and enlightening lecture and discussion
