As part of the Anchorage Public Library’s new Expanding Horizons Lecture Series, we are proud to welcome Dr. Forrest Nabors, Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Alaska Anchorage, for a special lecture commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American founding.
In this engaging and timely talk, Dr. Nabors will explore the foundational principles that shaped the creation of the United States in 1776 and discuss their continued relevance in American civic life today. With a focus on liberty, self-government, and national unity, Dr. Nabors will guide us through the enduring legacy of the founding generation and what their vision means for our future.
About the Speaker:
Dr. Forrest Nabors is a nationally recognized scholar in American political thought and the author of From Oligarchy to Republicanism: The Great Task of Reconstruction. His current research is focused on the changing character of American government leading up to the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Don’t miss this opportunity to reflect on America’s past and future with one of Alaska’s leading voices in political thought.
