Forum planned on politically divided country
Walters State Community College is inviting the public to attend a special pre-inauguration panel discussion of “Peaceful Transitions and American Traditions.” The discussion begins at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19, in the Chason Lyceum, in the Dr. Wade McCamey Student Services Building on the Morristown campus. Panelists include Darrel McGhee, dean of behavioral and social sciences; Dr. Timothy Holder, head of the history department; Marlin Curnutt, adjunct instructor of political science. The panel will be moderated by Robert E. Pratt II, assistant professor of speech. There will be a discussion regarding many aspects of the electoral process, including how the electoral college works and how it compares to the popular vote; contentious elections, including those where one candidate won the electoral college and another won the popular vote; and times where elections where held in the midst of a divided land, including periods following the Civil War and the Vietnam War. All four panelists are presidential history enthusiasts.
