Description
Our Towns Civic Foundation Presents: It's Happening Here: American Renewal, Ingenuity & Innovation, featuring Dr. Deborah & James Fallows
James Fallows is one of the world’s most respected journalists – an intrepid, sensitive investigator of the world, honored by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as an elected member for his 50-year career. His latest New York Times bestseller Our Towns (co-authored with writer and linguist Deborah Fallows), offers an illuminating portrait of the cultural reinvention taking place across America. In talks, Fallows shares the stories of grassroots innovators, detailing the growth and optimism not usually showcased by the media. Our Towns is a tale of American strength, ingenuity, and progress, and Fallows is a world-class storyteller. Join us to hear what James and Deborah discovered on their 100,000+ mile journal across the nation – their impressions of Our Towns.
