Only 21% of Americans know which presidents are on Mount Rushmore, but more than half can name at least two members of the cartoon Simpson family. Richard Lederer has written American History for Everyone to help make the knowledge of our nation's history at least match Americans' knowledge of the Simpsons. In his presentation, Dr. Lederer will share some of the most informative and entertaining stories from his book.
Dr. Lederer is the language columnist for The San Diego Union-Tribune and the author of over 60 books on language, history, and humor, including his best-selling Anguished English series.
This event is free to attend thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Branch Library.

Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Library
The Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Harley & Bessie Knox Library is located at 215 West Washington Street, between Front and Albatross Streets. This library was opened on Jan 26, 2019 and serves the communities Bankers Hill, Hillcrest, Middletown, Mission Hills and Old Town. Named in honor of the late philanthropists Harley and Bessie Knox, the new Mission Hills-Hillcrest/Knox Library expects to have 350,000 patron visits each year. The 15,000-square-foot library is more than triple the size of the community’s previous library that was built in 1961. It features modern amenities, including designated areas for teens and young children, a community meeting space, study rooms, computer labs, drought-tolerant landscaping, an underground parking garage and a design expected to achieve LEED Gold certification.
