Description

Jocelyn Benson comes to AADL to discuss her latest book, The Purposeful Warrior, in conversation with Barbara McQuade.

Jocelyn Benson is Michigan’s Secretary of State. She ascended into the national spotlight during the 2020 election cycle as one of the “Women from Michigan”, a group who led the effort to successfully stymy Donald Trump’s failed attempts to overturn the valid and accurate results of the 2020 presidential election. She was subsequently featured on the cover of Time and was honored with both the JFK Profile in Courage award and the Presidential Citizens Medal.

Barbara McQuade, author of the bestseller Attack From Within, is a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, where she teaches criminal law and national security law. She is also a legal analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. 

This event is in partnership with Literati Bookstore and there will be a signing with books for sale.

We'll make every effort to accommodate as many attendees as possible, but seating for this event is limited and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Library intends to provide a live stream of this event pending the presenter's permission. Please check back closer to the event for additional updates.
