HOW FREE SPEECH SAVED DEMOCRACY
Join the Adrian Diversity Event Fund for a community book study exploring the essential role of the first amendment and its important role in preserving democracy and advancing social justice.
This book study is very unique to Lenawee, as many of the individuals highlighted in this book were also speakers at Lenawee's own Croswell Opera House including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Fredric Douglas.
