As they plot his overthrow, they talk admiringly of Richard II, the now “silent king” whom they helped Bolingbroke push aside. And they continually remind Henry that Mortimer, not he, has a legitimate Treasure Houses title to the crown. See what you think of their plan for insurrection.

No new date has been set yet. Karen Suplee Hallowell, Director of Alumni and Parent Relations/George School SEEKING JUSTICE CONFERENCE ON NOVEMBER 9— PRE-EVENT READING A Colony in a Nation by Chris Hayes (published 2017) Note: Some people find pre-event reading enriches their experience. Over the next 5 weeks, we will be sharing a short summary of four books you may want to explore in more depth. Thanks to Lynne Waymon for this review... New York Times best-selling author and Emmy Award-winning news anchor Chris Hayes contends that we are two nations: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, the law is alive and well, but in the Colony, fear trumps civil rights, racist policies reign, and aggressive policing resembles occupation. Hayes shows how America’s arbitrary and erratic criminal justice systems treats one group of Americans as citizens and another as the colonized to be exploited, drained of resources, and ignored. In this very personal account by a respected journalist, Hayes traces what it was like to grow up in New York City and how efforts to keep big cities “orderly” led to unfair and unjust policies. He explores issues such as whether being “tough on crime” really works; why “white Americans are more likely to be killed by cops than their peers in any other Western democracy” [although black Americans are still more likely to be killed by cops than white Americans]; and how college campuses have their own set of laws for the privileged (mostly white) young people who attend.
