Details
Joe Neguse will speak about his new book, "Courage in The People's House: Nine Trailblazing Representatives Who Shaped America," on Wednesday, August 2nd at 6:30pm, at First United Methodist Church (1421 Spruce St).
About the Book:
"Courage in the People’s House" tells the gripping stories of nine individuals who served in the US House of Representatives—the “People’s House”—during a span of over one hundred years, from the 1870s to the 1990s. From the first African American to serve in the House, to immigrants elected at the dawn of the 20th century, all were trailblazers who made significant contributions to the country. The book provides an inspiring story of America through profiles of each of them, representatives of all political stripes who overcame the odds and demonstrated the courage to challenge powerful interests, and at times, their own political allies.
Representative Joe Neguse, the first African American elected to the Congress from Colorado, shares how these nine ordinary Americans served nobly despite the barriers before them and did extraordinary things in service to their constituents, the Constitution, and the country.
