Step back in time and learn about the past at Champion Public Library’s History Through Graphics at 5:30 PM on Thursday, July 30th for teens ages 13 to 17. This month, we will look into the biography of the American legend who inspired a hit Broadway musical with “Alexander Hamilton: The Graphic History of an American Founding Father” by Jonathan Hennessey. Snacks will be provided by the library. Signing up is encouraged.
Alexander Hamilton, a key Founding Father, fought in the Revolutionary War, shaped the U.S. Constitution, and established enduring economic policies as the first Treasury Secretary. Killed in a duel by Aaron Burr, Hamilton is now immortalized among figures like Washington and Jefferson, even appearing on the ten-dollar bill. This graphic novel by Jonathan Hennessey and Justin Greenwood brings Hamilton’s remarkable story to life.
