West Virginia was known as a solidly Democratic state for most of the 20th century, but that has changed in the 21st century. Renowned historian John Alexander Williams will make sense of this dramatic shift in a talk on Friday, Aug. 10, at 3 p.m. in West Virginia University’s Downtown Campus Library, in Room 104. The program is free and the public is welcome.
