David O. Stewart will speak on April 7 at 7 p.m. He is an award-winning writer and the president of the Washington Independent Review of Books.

He is also the author of a historical novel The Lincoln Deception. In his latest book, Madison’s Gift: Five Partnerships That Built America, Stewart discusses James Madison and suggests, although often overshadowed, he was the most significant framer of the new nation.
Dr. Vincent J. Intondi will speak on April 14 at 7 p.m. Dr. Intondi is associate professor of African American History at Montgomery College and director of research at the Nuclear Studies Institute of the American University in Washington, DC.
