Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer T.J. Stiles will discuss the political battles of the Gilded Age, a time of rampant political corruption and heavy-handed corporate intervention in elections. It was also a time when reformers ignited a reinvention of American democracy, changing how people voted, why people voted and how government worked.
A Night by the Narragansett will benefit the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center.
Guests will gather under the tent on The Point at Safe Harbor – New England Boatworks on the shores of Narragansett Bay for lawn games, cocktails, delicious fare from McGrath’s Clambakes & Catering, and dancing to high energy World Premier Band, the band that performed at last year’s Centennial Celebration.
All proceeds from the evening will support the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Center’s hunger relief, education and community programs. Last year, the Center served 5,670 people, the most in its history. Founded in 1922 and renamed after Dr. King in 1922, the MLK Community Center fights hunger, promotes health, educates young and school-aged kids, supports families, and engages seniors in Newport County. The MLK builds community.
