Newport Art Museum Welcomes First Winter Speaker Darrell West on January
Darrell West, a former Brown University Professor and author of 20 books, will kick off the Newport Art Museum‘s 88th annual Winter Speaker Series on Saturday, January 9 at 2pm in the Museum’s Griswold House at 76 Bellevue Avenue, Newport.
In keeping with tradition, West, current Vice President and Director of Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, will kick off the series. This year, he will speak on the upcoming presidential race with a lecture entitled “How to Watch the 2016 Elections”.
He will discuss the candidates, the issues and the strategies involved in the upcoming election cycle. What should voters watch for, and how should voters evaluate the complicated nominating processes in the Republican and Democratic primaries? With major challenges in domestic and foreign policy, the 2016 campaign is shaping up to be one of the most important in recent years. Mr. West will endeavor to provide a roadmap to make sense of this important election.
