Speaker: Scott Ferson, "How the Democrats Lost America"​​​​

On Sunday, Oct. 18, local author Scott Ferson will discuss his new book, `How the Democrats Lost America: Making Sense of the 2024 Election and the Future of American Politics,’ at the Franklin
Historical Museum. Come join a lively, non-partisan talk about the current disconnect in our country with national politics, and specifically the Democratic Party's disconnect. According to Ferson, the book is set in a historical context and ends with an appeal for us to re-examine the promise in the Declaration of Independence - that we have the power to continually shape our democracy and our Constitutional republic.  Ferson is a Democrat political consultant and faculty member at Stonehill College in Easton. The Franklin Historical Museum, 80 West Central Street, Franklin, MA, is open from 1-4 on Sunday and the program starts at 1:15. There is no admission charge but donations are encouraged and appreciated. Contact Alan Earls with questions at alan.r.earls@gmail.com or 508 560 3786.
