Enjoy an engaging evening with Jonathan Turley as he explores his book, Rage and the Republic.

In 1776, two revolutions were born from the same ideals of liberty. One became the world’s oldest democracy. The other collapsed into the Terror. On America’s 250th anniversary, Professor Turley brings this urgent story to Virginia — exploring what separates a republic that endures from one that devours itself.
