Author Meets Readers invites Carleton students and the community to join a discussion on new books published by members of the Carleton University Faculty of Public Affairs.

About the Book:
Two Days in June: John F. Kennedy and the 48 Hours That Made History is the story of two feverish days in the presidency of John F. Kennedy in which he pivots boldly on the two biggest issues of his generation: nuclear arms and civil rights. On two consecutive days, in two lyrical speeches, he appeals to Americans to see the Russians and “Negroes” differently. One speech leads to the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963; the second to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
