The John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress and the American Trust for the British Library welcome Baroness Ann Taylor, current member of the House of Lords and former Labour Member of Parliament and former Leader of the House of Commons; Steve Norris, former Conservative Member of Parliament; Tom Graves, former Republican Representative from Georgia; and Donna Edwards, former Democratic Representative from Maryland for this conversation.
“Transatlantic Conversations” is a program co-sponsored by the John W. Kluge Center at the Library of Congress and by the American Trust for the British Library. TC brings together in moderated dialogue two former Members of Parliament (MPs) (one Conservative, one Labour) and two former Members of Congress (one Democrat, one Republican) to compare and contrast elected officials’ lived experiences as well as the legislative processes in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
“Transatlantic Conversations” will be livestreamed and recorded.
