Lecture Series—In-Person & As Scheduled
2026
Series—N2N Opens the Summer Season with a Splash!
Wednesday, May 27, 6:30-8:00 pm: An Evening with Author Peter
Canellos
Please join us for a
very special Neighbor-to-Neighbor program—our first of 2026!
We are honored to
host award-winning author and journalist Peter Canellos, as he discusses his
most recent book, “Revenge for the Sixties: Sam Alito and the Triumph of the
Conservative Legal Movement.”
Canellos began his journalism career at the Boston
Globe and more recently served as executive editor at Politico. He has received
numerous citations for his work, including being named a finalist for the 2022
Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction. A graduate of Columbia Law School, Peter is
noted for his writing about the Supreme Court.
In his book “Revenge for the Sixties”, Canellos examines the forces that shaped Justice
Samuel Alito’s judicial career and outlines why understanding
Alito’s story is essential to understanding the future of American law and
democracy.
There will be time
for Q&A after Peter’s presentation. Signed copies of Canellos’
book will be available for purchase at the event.
It is necessary to register to attend, as seating is
limited and the program will not be recorded.
