Week 1 | M, Tu, W, Th, F | Turner Conference Room | Ages 14+

Many campaigns featured intense (and often false) personal attacks, corrupted ballots and backroom deals which were scandalous far beyond which we are likely to witness next. Learn about presidential elections in a way you were never taught in school.
