Postponed: The New History of Watergate

Live Event
December 7, 2022: 7:00 pm

Please note: this event has been postponed due to illness. We’re hoping to reschedule it for a later date. Our apologies for any inconvenience this causes.

Fifty years after five burglars were caught inside the Watergate offices of the Democratic National Committee, the scandal that brought down Richard Nixon’s presidency continues to reverberate in modern American politics. Journalist Garrett M. Graff, author of Watergate: A New History, discusses how Watergate shaped modern Washington, and how the events of 1971-1974 are stranger, wilder, and weirder than our popular memory.
