This episode features a conversation with historian and bestselling author Timothy Snyder. 

United Way is partnering with Seattle Arts and Lectures to co-sponsor an evening with Snyder at Benaroya Hall on Oct. 26 as part of our Conversations for Change series.

Hourglass sat down with Snyder to discuss his book On Tyranny: 20 Lessons for the 20th Century, which spent more than 140 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Snyder will discuss his book On Freedom during the Oct. 26 event.

We’ll discuss origins of “On Tyranny” and its lessons that inspire people to engage in acts such as defending our institutions, standing out for one’s beliefs and contributing to good causes.

We’ll also discuss our upcoming Free Tax Preparation Campaign and a local volunteer opportunity.

Thanks for tuning in!
