The book, Democracy in the Making, by Arthur S. Meyers, is now available in paperback.

The publisher, Rowman & Littlefield describes Democracy in the Making:

In 1908, a remarkable direction in community learning began in Boston and spread across the country, becoming the Open Forum lecture movement. These locally planned, trans-denominational lectures, followed by periods for questions, were characterized as “the striking of mind upon mind.” This study recovers the movement and shows what can be applied to our time. George W. Coleman brought a deep commitment to free speech in developing the Forum and Mary Caroline Crawford was essential in implementing it. 

The 188-page book is available to order in paperback or ebook for $32.99.
