Join us for an engaging discussion on "The Small & The Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement."
From the book blurb:
From America’s favorite government teacher, a heartfelt, inspiring portrait of twelve ordinary Americans whose courage formed the character of our country.
In The Small and the Mighty, Sharon McMahon proves that the most remarkable Americans are often ordinary people who didn’t make it into the textbooks. Not the presidents, but the telephone operators. Not the aristocrats, but the schoolteachers. Through meticulous research, she discovers history’s unsung characters and brings their rich, riveting stories to light for the first time.
This is a book about what really made America–and Americans–great. McMahon’s cast of improbable champions will become familiar friends, lighting the path we journey in our quest to make the world more just, peaceful, good, and free.
We love having new members join us - even if you don't finish the book or didn't like it - it makes for a great discussions!
