From Carolina Journal Radio Program No. 700: The John Locke Foundation approaches Election Day with a couple of interesting events involving presidential history. On Monday, Oct. 17, JLF co-hosts attorney and author Talmage Boston as he discusses Cross-Examining History, his book of 31 edited transcripts of on-stage interviews with leading presidential historians and insiders. One week later, Oct. 24, presidents Thomas Jefferson and John Adams return to Raleigh for their latest meeting in a JLF-sponsored “Living History” event. Expert actors from Williamsburg portray the second and third American presidents as they discuss important issues from their day that still generate political debate in 2016. JLF President and CEO Kory Swanson discusses both events.
