SUN, SEPT. 20 – Refusing a Crown: How George Washington Changed the World with historian and author Richard Lim

Refusing a Crown: How George Washington Changed the World explores America’s surprisingly complex transition from monarchy to republican government through the life and leadership of George Washington. The book argues that Washington’s decisions to relinquish power helped establish the norms of republican government not only in the United States but also inspired revolutionaries and reformers in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. It also examines how Judeo-Christian ideas about virtue, duty, and self-government shaped Washington’s understanding of leadership and informed some of his most consequential decisions. Timed for America’s 250th anniversary, the book offers a fresh perspective on how Washington’s example changed the course of world history. * pre-recorded
