SUMMARY:Revolutionary Ideas:  How Popular Power Shaped the Declaration
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Bangor Public Library(145 Harlow Street) on Wednesday\, July 1st\, from 5pm to 7pm.\nDuring this event\, Robert Ballingall\, Mark Brewer\, and Ryan LaRochelle of the University of Maine will discuss the guiding theories and particular complaints of the Declaration of Independence and examine their impact on American politics and government.\nThe Bangor Historical Society’s William Stone copy of the Declaration of Independence will be on display for you to see the words that the revolutionaries presented to King George III as their complaints.\n\nThis event is free to attend.Please RSVP to curator@bangorhistoricalsociety.org\n\nThank you Versant Power for sponsoring this event.\n\nAbout the Speakers\nDr. Mark D. Brewer is Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at the University of Maine. His research interests focus generally on political behavior\, with specific research areas including partisanship and electoral behavior at both the mass and elite levels\, the linkages between public opinion and public policy\, and the interactions that exist between religion and politics in the United States. Brewer is the author or editor of a number of books and articles in academic journals\, including Parties and Elections in America (with L. Sandy Maisel) now in its 10th edition\, Polarization and the Politics of Personal Responsibility (with Jeffrey M. Stonecash\, 2015)\, The Parties Respond\, 5th edition (with L. Sandy Maisel\, 2013)\, Party Images in the American Electorate (2009)\, and Dynamics of American Political Parties (with Jeffrey M. Stonecash\, 2009). He is also the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Political Science.\n\n\nDr. Robert A. Ballingall is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Maine. His scholarly interests lie in the history of political thought and constitutional government. He has a deep background in classical political philosophy\, and is the author of Plato’s Reverent City: the Laws and the Politics of Authority (2023)\, which offers an original interpretation of Plato and explains his enduring relevance for understanding the kind of citizen presupposed by the rule of law. His current work examines the relationship between pride and humiliation in early modern political thought. He is especially interested in how understanding this theme sheds light on America’s founding principles.\n\nDr. Ryan LaRochelle is Senior Lecturer at the William S. Cohen Institute for Leadership and Public Service at the University of Maine. His areas of expertise include American political development; the history of U.S. social welfare policy; and moments of democratic threat in American political history. His research has been published in the Journal of Policy History; Studies in American Political Development; The Forum; and the Maine Policy Review. His biography of William S. Cohen\, which highlights how Cohen sought to defend democratic institutions and values throughout his career in public service\, is forthcoming with the University Press of Kansas.

SUMMARY:Mount Hope Cemetery Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Learn little known facts about some of Bangor’s famous—and infamous– residents during our guided tour. Hear about the importance of symbolism in the gravestones and get a chance to take in some of the city’s beautiful vistas. \nBuilt in 1834\, Bangor’s 300 acre Mount Hope Cemetery is the nation’s second oldest garden cemetery. It was designed by renowned architect Charles G. Bryant as part of a national movement to provide respite from grassless urban landscapes. Garden cemeteries were created as much for living as for those who had passed on. \nThis tour meets at the Superintendent’s Lodge at Mt. Hope Cemetery\, 1048 State Street\, Bangor. \nTickets are $12 per person. \nIn case of inclement weather\, tours will be cancelled if chance of thunderstorms\, but not if just rain in forecast. \nTickets must be purchased ahead of time.\nTickets may be purchased for a 6PM until Noon on the day of the tour. Tickets may be purchased for a 10AM tour until 6PM the previous evening. \nOur tours will be capped at 25 guests.
