This month's book: Empire and Liberty by Dr. Vaneesa Cook - who will be joining us for the discussion!

Historian Dr. Vaneesa Cook explores how the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty have served as lightning rods for debates about the irreconcilable tensions between empire and liberty that have existed since American independence, defining the contours of American identity.
