Why Attend

Whether you are a lifelong student of American history, a Glens Falls native curious about one of the city's own, or simply drawn to stories of leadership and integrity, this evening offers something meaningful. Loughrey's biography arrives at a moment when our nation is grappling with deep polarization and distrust of our institutions — and Hughes' life offers a blueprint for civil rights and equal justice in times of historical upheaval and transition. This is a rare chance to hear the story of a hometown leader who helped shape the nation, told by an author with deep roots in the same community. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the event.

Consistent with our mission to promote and interpret our rich local history, this event provides a unique opportunity to engage in a dialogue about the stories that shaped our region.
