| WHAT: |
In The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century, Peter Dreier explores the change in the American political and social landscape over the 20th century. Social change did not happen as a natural course of history; countless individuals and groups labored to bring about the rights and privileges to which we have grown accustomed. Dreier's book pays tribute to 100 social justice leaders and offers a look at the emerging leaders of the 21st century. Dreier will be available to sign copies of The Greatest 100 Americans of the 20th Century: A Social Justice Hall of Fame after the forum.
