Project 2025 has been in the news lately, but for some, it seemed to come out of nowhere. In this online program co-sponsored by the Medford Public Library, join Professor Brian Conley of Suffolk University to delve into the history of this document and its origins during the Reagan years. Edwin Feulner, who led the Heritage Foundation when the book was first written as “Mandate for Leadership,” explains that the idea for such a policy book originated at a 1979 meeting of Heritage’s board. Professor Conley will help participants understand the origins of the mandate that led to the current Project 2025 document. Brian M.
